Resident Evil Revelaitons Collection |OT| Revelations 2 is Digital-Only Everywhere, Please Don't Ask
- Thread starter TheMoon
- Start date
I didn't ask. Just seeing all the reviews really makes me want to play the game.
Then do so.
Everyone knows it's digital already. No one cares that you can't enjoy it because of being a luddite. If you want to lament the march of the inevitable dd future then go post a thread about it.
I asked the same thing. No clue. And the first code doesn't do anything for you right?
If you link your account do you still have a gray square even if you're offline?
(Top left)
Edit: It's the RE.net profile icon. Connect accounts. Close the game and start it back up and pick Raid (Online).
Once you do that the icon will carry over across any mode of rain (online or off). Much better than a gray box.
Can that film grain filter be turned off?
I'm mostly playing handheld mode, default, motion controls. Super comfortable for me! Also tried docked mode last night with split joycons and motion controls but I can never aim well 1 handed using a single joycon, just like Splatoon 2. Using both hands at once on the Pro controller with motion controls is my favorite controller scheme EVER for shooters, hope they patch it in here too someday :)
Same deal here. Tried the first code first and nothing. Second code was fine.
Glad I'm not the only one.
Why is the "nonfunctional" code the first one they list? I entered it twice (to make sure I didn't mess up a numeral) before trying the 2nd one (which worked, and downloaded Rev2).
Is that first code like... a DLC code or something..? I honestly can't figure it out, obviously the eShop just throws an "invalid code" error.
Or maybe it's part of a crazy metagame!

is that first code maybe something you can redeem on RE.net for some item drops or something?
Try entering it on a 3DS, maybe it's Mega Man Legends 3!
Na. They're about Zelda skyward sword vs tp on the Wii, if that makes sense. Not quite as good, but as close as one is going to get and so close the difference isn't going to be that noticeable unless you're playing a point'n click game or an rts.
Also disagree at best platform. Pc is still the best version for load times, controls, and graphics. This isn't a shabby version at all though and second best is nothing to scoff at.
I did the same thing (entering the first code multiple times). I'm in Canada, and the download instructions in English are on the left side (under the first code) and the French instructions are on the right side (under the second code). At first I thought maybe the first code was for the English version and the second for the French.
The first code was formatted weird though. Where the dashes were placed didn't make any kind of sense at all.
Thanks for the answer. I played the Wii U demo back in the days and liked the game, however, I read that the first entry has underwater sections and I simply hate them in nearly every game. I'll take a look at RER2 and see if that works for me.
If so it's weird they don't actually specify that anywhere on the card itself.
Also weird that the code for the actual game is the second code.
Thanks for the thoughts mate. I might give the split joycons a whirl later and see how I get on.
I really like the underwater sections in RER1. They're brief and straightforward enough, and feel fast and nimble. You just dive up or down to your desired level, and then you stay on that plane. Most of your time is on dry land, though.
The final boss of Rev 1 is bad game design 101. It's difficult but it's not challenging, it's focused on a gimmicky mechanic based on chances before skills. It's so bad I'm considering dropping the game now. And mind me, it's not about the difficulty, there are more difficult bosses out there, it's just the bad mechanics.
I don't remember there being anything luck-based about it. Put your character in a corner and just spot the difference, aim and shoot. The boss operates on distinct and well-telegraphed patterns.
Also has a sweet-ass design, setting and boss music!
The "luck" element I'm talking about is the fact that its weakspot in half the cases is covered by his arm in the second phase of the fight, and I can't move my character in front of him to aim at the weakspot in time so I take free damage. Maybe it's because I'm moving and not putting myself in the corner defying any sense of realism.

It's a random guess I threw out. I don't even remember if RE.net has any code redemption things.
Re4 Wii edition is the best version due to the controls. Perfect!
Hmmm. I must be doing something dim.
It keeps on telling me to remove the joy cons.
haha i think he's asking if the motion controls are as good as re4 wii. and yes, they are! better, even, because of improved accuracy
1 has a couple of scary moments. It was scarier on 3DS and obviously didn't translate as well being brought into HD.
2 isn't scary at all. In fact, just about everything involving the environmental design and monster design is fucking boring as shit.
I think the Revenants and invisible enemies in RER2 are more nerve-wracking than anything in RER1. Revenants are some of the coolest enemies in the series.
Both games have their moments, but neither are too scary.
I'm just chiming in I don't think either is particularly scary, but I disagree with Almight Tria here as I thought Revelations 2 had better enemies, better tense scenes and atmosphere, and at least on Hard difficulty (which I play all RE games blind on if I can), there was a much stronger survival element in Revelations 2 which made the game overall 'scarier' for me and the encounters more memorable.
This is all subjective of course though, 'scariness' can be a real hard to gauge from person to person because different people find different things scary. For example, someone could be scared shitless in that section late in Revelations 1 with the swimming enemies, or someone could be terrified of those wall-crawling bugs in Revelations 2 (though I found neither of these scary but neat for myself).
I was worried I bought the wrong region of the game and needed to login into a different region account. Ended up the valid code was on the right side with the French text. The English text side not working.
It's just memorising patterns and spotting real from fake.
Great boss fight.
So is raid totally separate from the campaign in r2 or does it tie back into the campaign at all? I kinda wanted to give it a quick pass through, but if it has a bunch of stuff sitting waiting on me to progress in the main game I'll just sit on it for a bit.
My memory tells me that the only unlockable you get for beating the main campaign is characters. Stages you unlock just by playing the gauntlets and collecting medallions (what you earn in Raid Mode in Rev 2).
Totally different. Campaign will give you unlocks and maybe some points to put into it but consider them different things.
This is single player raid too? I am looking for coop impressions. I was worried this would be the case.
