Capcom sent today a new press release featuring the launch screenshots and trailer for Resident Evil Revelations 2. Resident Evil Revelations 2 is currrently available on the PC, therefore we decided to go ahead and take a look at its Steam store page. And to our big surprise, we found out that the PC version lacks any offline co-op support in both Campaign and Raid modes.
As the description of Resident Evil Revelations 2’s official Steam store page notes:
“2. The PC version does not support offline co-op play in the Campaign or Raid Mode.”
Now this is something that Capcom never mentioned before. In all previous press releases, there was no mention of the offline/local co-op missing from Resident Evil Revelations 2 PC.
Capcom has not provided any further explanation as to why this feature was stripped away from the PC version, though we believe the reason is similar to why Blizzard dropped local/offline co-op in Diablo III for the PC.
Enjoy the following screenshots and trailer!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Enjoyed episode one and then played some Raid Mode afterwards which was a bit of fun, To be honest it doesn’t bother me that it doesn’t have offline co-op.
Anyway hopefully Capcom can fix some of the performance issues that a lot of people are experiencing before episode two gets released next week.
How long is it?
I cleared it around 1 hour and 30 minutes on normal.
Too short. I know its a epside but with all the episodes it will be like 5-7 hours.
About 2 hours on hard setting.
Is the game hard? Or should i play it on hard because its too easy?
I thought evil within on normal was pretty good as far as difficulity.
From what I’ve read from the all reviewers, most of them have said normal seems a bit easy especially with co-op. So I choose to play on hard and I died a lot, but I did enjoy the challenge.
And the frame rate is garbage. Totally inconsistent and unplayable.
On GTX980?
Try setting scanlines to 60hz and frame rate to 60fps as this fixed my problems.
What are you on… a 5 year old gpu… come on dude I get 60 even on my 750 ti…
Pretty good performing game. No issues here. Doesn’t look very pretty though, almost zero difference between the pc version and console version. Console version has dreadful framerate it’s hilarious
PS4 version drops below 30fps LOL
” we believe the reason is similar to why Blizzard dropped local/offline co-op in Diablo III for the PC.”
Its impossible to be the same reason, Diablo 3 is 100% online, RE is not. They did that to avoid piracy and some cheating problems. What Capcom did with RE doesnt solve anything.
For what is worth RE5 didnt have splitscreen but re6 did.
But RE5 has a workaround for Splitscreen, It’s a matter of time to be the same whit RER2
does it have a workaround for the dlcs? Also i heard they gonna release re5 gold on pc. Is that true?
Not sure if I should get it now, or the complete disc release later.
Does the console versions have split screen?
Yes.
F’ CAPCOM!!!
The game itself is quite good, but it’s a technical mess. I have terrible stuttering despite running the game over 90 FPS and the raid mode is crashing constantly.

Splitscreen already enable on PC version because a modder, hes figuring out how to control 2nd player. Such a shame the content was cut off because consoles.
