Game Informer has posted seven minutes of new gameplay footage from Resident Evil: Revelations 2.
The footage features an commentary from producer Michiteru Okabe.
“The Revelations series, internally, is treated as its own IP, in a manner of speaking,” Okabe said. “It exists as a way to merge the old style Resident Evil elements with the more modern Resident Evil elements, with a balance that is unique to the revelations series.
“Some new elements we’ve incorporated in Revelations 2 include stealth elements, things like that… But at the same time I think because it’s not a mainline numbered series, it actually in a way limits our freedom, in a manner of speaking. I think that’s where the big risks tend to be taken and they tend to do things kind of out of the box.
“Being a spin-off series, it kind of gives us a special obligation to really understand what it is the fans want us to give to them.”
Watch the footage below. The game is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in early 2015.
(If anyone is curious, yes, we did calculate the actual amount of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 gameplay time in the video.)
