Capcom responds to Resident Evil: Revelations 2's lack of local co-op on PC
Those who picked up the PC version of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 were rightfully upset to find it lacked local co-op. Capcom has since released a statement regarding the omission.
Capcom released the first episode of Resident Evil Revelations 2 this week across multiple platforms, although those who purchased the PC version are up in arms over the lack of local co-op support even though the company had promoted the feature leading up to its release. As a result, Capcom has released a statement regarding the missing feature.
“We apologize to our Resident Evil Revelations 2 PC players who purchased the game and expected to have local co-op as a feature,” Capcom says in its statement. “The feature wasn’t intended for this version and that caveat was mistakenly omitted from the product description on the Steam page earlier, and then included as soon as we were made aware. This was an unintentional error and again, we apologize for the confusion this may have caused.”
In regards to a resolution, Capcom offers the following, “We are currently looking into the matter and potential solutions and we hope to have new information to share very soon, so please stay tuned.” Let’s just hope the new information is the addition of this feature to the PC version as this feels like the old bait and switch tactic to me, regardless if it was “mistakenly omitted” from Steam’s product page.

I hope Capcom patches in local co-op. We live in an age where it's a trivial matter to connect multiple 360 controllers to the PC and get the same local multiplayer experiences console players enjoy.
The issue could be that most PC players use monitors that are smaller than HDTVs, but that's the player's prerogative. Capcom should give all players all available options and let them use them as they see fit. -
