Who cares about Jill?

“I think the big numbered titles are where we try the big sort of experiments, bold new things,” Okabe said. “We see what sticks, and continue to refine those ideas. I think with the spin-off series we have the opportunity to do something a little different."

Resident Evil Revelations 2's "gameplay serves as a bridge to the more classically styled Resident Evils," Okabe continued, "versus the new action-focused ones.”

Okabe noted that Revelations 2’s quieter horror elements “work really well because it’s a spin-off series, and I think the numbered series is where different ideas happen. They’re both important parts of the Resident Evil franchise as a whole.”

This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the roles of an imprisoned woman and a father searching for his daughter on an island. Players use pistols, machine guns, rocket launchers, shotguns, and knives to kill zombies and mutated creatures. Combat is highlighted by screams of pain, realistic gunfire, and large blood-splatter effects. A handful of enemies are depicted with exposed organs, and one scene depicts an enemy having its hand cut off in slow-motion. Another scene depicts a human character shooting herself in the head with a pistol, resulting in a large splatter of blood. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” appear in the dialogue.
