RE6 vs RE: revelations 2 some questions which i should get since I have enough for one

[Blue]

I have only played RE 0, 1, and 2. I haven't followed the main canon line. I also played RE Revelations and loved it. I am wondering which has a larger online community? Which is better for what? Which is easier?

RE6 has coop campaigns and competitives modes.
REv2 has couch coop campaign and coop raid mode.

I see REv2 as improvement over REv1 in terms of horror.

RE6 has larger community, but more difficult controls to master.
REv2 has simplified controls similar to REv1.

RE6 Isn't all that good but it's fun. You'll probably enjoy REv2 anyway. That game is interesting, similar to The Evil WIthin

I might get both bc i had a 20 dollar gift card. for 2 bucks more i can have both games. im still thinking about it.

I have both games... If u like coop campaign and more action story plus a fun game. Resident 6 is for you..

But, if u like horror games like Evil Within with episodic story. Resident Evil Revelation 2 is for you, but it has no coop campaign.. It has a raid mode coop though, I havent tried raid mode myself

REV2 > RE6
RE6 is worst RE game ever created.
About comunity in both REV2 and RE6 its almost dead. Only very few still play those games.

REV2 is more horror than RE6. RE6 dont have horror atmosphere at all. They try create it in Leon campaign but its failuire, to many action for horror.

About DLCs i prefer Raid Mode than Mercs etc.

Completely subjective.

i don't have a friend to play either games with. so in that case which would be better?

[Dfactor]

REv2.

[Alastar]

As above REV2.

So many explosions and memes in this game you'd think it's Call Of Duty..

I think resident evil 6 is the best of the series which everyone will probably hate me for saying. The melee is completely viable, and you can move while shooting. I like the quicktime events and they are nothing new after resident evil 4 brought them into the fray. It's incredibly satisfying to smoke everyone when you get good at the combat. The game has instanced drops(online at least) so you aren't competing with other players for a small amount of ammo. You can change your skills so you get more items like grenades so you can become a grenade throwing fiend and better yet you can change between 10 skill loadouts on the fly so you can change your playstyle midstage if you want, or if you run low on ammo, change to a melee loadout. It's pretty awesome in my eyes. Even storywise, this one feels more alive. With Chris and Pierres you have an army at you back, you are not a one man show. You meet up with other survivors for cool intersect missions. I have revelations as well but have not played it, but since the whole campaign is not co op, I don't see how it could be as good.

RE Rev2 has online community? O_ò

In the story Campaign, RE Rev2 has the option of cooperative if it's in the same computer and one of them is using a game controller (leaving the mouse and keyboard for the other player) so at the end of the day, RE Rev2 is single player game for most of the people.

There is the Raid mode, a pack of minimissions that takes you to a lot of places of RE Rev2 and RE6, it's quite variated so it's not heavy nor require a long farming to get some rewards. There are chances to play online to the Raid mode:

- Random matches, but the progress that you make with a random match is not saved, so it's quite odd find a useful randon match (and most of the times are with very low level players).
- Player invitation, you can invite a player to your lobby so the 2 can play together in your levels. But again, I haven't found anyone and I don't apply there, I only use that choice when I want invite particular friends.

So since my point of view, there are not worthy online community in RE Rev2.



RE6 has more multiplayer modes and PvP, finding people for those modes is difficult, you can make it easier if you joint to the Steam groups of the game to be warned when the people are playing. In that way, I can find and see that the RE6 online community are still active. not as the PS3 on its golden time, but enough for some matches.

The story campaigns has all of them the cooperative mode (in the same computer or online), and finding people with open games to join there is quite easy.

About difficulty, RE6 is more easy than RE Rev2.

RE6 is practically a straight path that to progress you must go fighting what are fun for its enhaced fighting system but are not really challenging on its most encounters.

RE Rev2 the player actions has been capped so the battle is more rusty while enemies received a proper enhacement in their agressivity, so they are more challenging there. Also the walkthrough, is lineal in a lot of areas but it brings some puzzles items requirements to can progress.

/-------------------------------------------------------------------------/

About what is better, for me is RE6 without any doubt, is has a lot of more content (areas, campaigns, characters, bestiary...), the battle system is much better, the multiplayer add a lot of replayability, the long soundtrack that covers tons of areas and sitations, the drama, the excitment and greatness of the tittle. RE6 is indeed a good game.

RE Rev2 although it was released after, it looks much poorer than RE6, it wasn't bad because the game is not pretended to be a high successs, it was a kind of snack for the waiting, a smaller game, so it was well received even with their smaller content, graphics and repeated assets. The problems I've got with RE Rev2 are the lack of coop, and the handicapped combat. But apart of that, is a nice game (not to compare with any AAA game, but a nice installment for the fans).


The better would be a mix, RE6 with more exploration and more mystery as RE Rev2 . But between those 2, RE6 is my winner bet.

Well said!! Great answer for anyone thinking about it like me.
