Capcom cuts local co-op from resident evil revelations 2 on pc
Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Windows PC does not support offline co-op play in the Campaign or in the Raid Mode.
A Capcom Europe representative told IGN in a statement that the feature was cut over quality concerns and to focus on single local play:
“The PC version of Resident Evil Revelations 2 supports a variety of customizable visual settings and resolutions. The decision to prioritize a single local screen was made to ensure a stable user experience across a variety of different PC settings and devices. Raid mode will support online co-op shortly after launch when a free patch is available for players to download which adds this feature, but the main campaign on PC will only be available to play in single local screen.”
The lack of offline co-op for PC was reportedly not originally mentioned on the game's Steam store page, leading PC users to believe that the feature would be supported, as it is with the five console versions. “The PC version does not support offline co-op play in the Campaign or in the Raid Mode” was allegedly only recently added as bullet point in the "About This Game" description.
The first episode in the Resident Evil Revelations 2 four-part series launched this week on Windows PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. We thought it has great co-op and “an intriguing story pumps blood through its veins. “
We’ve reached out to Capcom for more information and if support will be added in the future. .
