Revelations 1 does have it's problems since as many others have already pointed out, the game was merely a port of a 3DS game. The second Revelations title is a gem though I can't count how many hours I spent on the Raid Mode from both games, simply amazing content, I have no idea where the notion that Revelations 2 was obviously a flop came from. Sounds to me like the funniest thing I've ever heard in a while.

This is what I tried to explain, Capcom said as much when they released Village. They haven't gone back to Revelations since they've been busy with Remake 4 and RE9. They also have a new IP coming out as well. Back then Capcom didn't have as many major projects as they do now. It's not the case that Rev games don't sell, it's the fact that they don't have time and enough workers to make Rev games right now. It's pretty obvious from Remake 4 that Remake 5 is likely the next big project so I don't see them having time for Rev 3 right now.

And many hated Claire design, her voice acting and annoying side kicks in that game alongside the episodic format.

And if it wasn't a flop why Capcom didn't make more episodic RE games ?
Episodic games have always been flops.(Half Life 2 episodes 1,2, Hitman 2016 , lots of telltale episodic games)

Just because you don't like the Rev games doesn't make them flops. They were not commercial flops. The fandom didn't like and older Claire, but Rev 2 was ultimately successful.

Rev 2 was very successful

Don't you think that in Resident Evil: Revelations 2, Claire sort of looks like a movie actor in the Resident Evil movies? In RE:Revelations 2, I think that the movie actors have, maybe, loaned out their movie faces for the characters in Resident Evil: Revelations 2.

The resemblance to the movie actors is striking.

I am eternally grateful that Capcom dropped the god-awful dodge mechanics from Revelations 1. What was in Rev 2 and RE3R was way better.

[xdesperado_]

Claire's face model in Revelations 2 was giving Tobey Maguire vibes.

[Yeauxleaux]

I did an ugly snort laugh the first time I saw someone point out it's giving Tobey Maguire. She didn't look the best, I must say. The outfit and hair was giving, but the face not so much.

I do think it's kind of weird they removed her "good with kids" personality trait so they could give that to Moira instead, but I didn't mind her more mature characterisation otherwise. She's supposed to be in her early 30s by that time.

Also yes the dodge mechanic from the first game was atrocious.

I mean, you never had to use it past the tutorial. And against some enemies it's so trivially easy to do... Honestly I found the Rev 2 dodge to be the useless one.

I do remember one person never finishing the final boss because they thought you had to dodge. Like, try shooting the glowy weak spot?

Are you talking about the final boss in Resident Evil: Revelations 2. The Final boss in Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is Wesker, remember? No glowing spots.

Against the final boss and the boss that charges at you at the top of the ship, the dodge was pretty much required. The number of times I quick turned instead of dodging was atrocious.

...

Am I the only one that realized you can stagger the final boss out of all his attacks? Just shoot his heart whenever he appears, no dodging necessary. I honestly didn't know you could dodge him for the longest time, because staggering him was so easy and consistent!

I forgot about the observation tower boss, admittedly, but he's so ridiculously easy to dodge, you have like a two second window to do it. (You can also dodge just be pressing forward.)

Rev 1. Though she had a glowing spot too...

[charmedangelin]

I never use the dodging mechanics in any RE game besides Remake 3. Remake 3 is the only game that really forces you to use it.
