Capcom has issued an apology to users who purchased a PC version of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 for the lack of an offline co-operative mode.

Posting on the Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Steam page, the publisher explained that 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."

Capcom assured that it was investigating the matter and "potential solutions," saying it hoped to bring out updates "very soon." This suggests that Capcom may not be end up implementing a split-screen co-op mode, but another alternative gameplay mode.

Offline co-op was initially advertised as a feature in Resident Evil: Revelations 2 on its Steam store page. The description of the game stated that players will be able to "overcome the nightmares in either single player mode with an AI partner or offline co-op." According to Capcom, offline co-op was removed to ensure more stable user experiences across different PC settings.

The first episode of Resident Evil Revelations 2 launched earlier this week, with the remaining three episodes to be released over the coming month. Check out how it scored in GameSpot's review.

Sony’s PlayStation 4 has had a strong start in 2015 and impressive sales numbers overall. But while the Xbox One picked up during the tail end of 2014, data from research company SuperDataResearch shows that the PS4 is still coming out on top in terms of digital game sales.

Looking at digital sales for the top 10 best-selling games of January (listed below) the PS4 and PS3 accounted for 43% and 20% respectively of total purchases. By comparison, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles totaled just 37% altogether.

It's worth pointing out, again, that the data doesn't take into account all digital sales data, only the top 10 games. Data for PC, Nintendo consoles, and mobile was not included in this study.

According to SuperData, the top 10 digital games for January 2015 were:

1. Grand Theft Auto V
2. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
3. Destiny
4. Dying Light
5. Battlefield 4
6. Resident Evil HD: Remastered
7. Minecraft
8. Call of Duty: Ghosts
9. Madden NFL 15
10. Call of Duty: Black Ops II

That contrasts with physical retail data from the NPD for January 2015 where Dying Light came out as the number one game. Collectively, digital game sales accounted for $133 million in revenue according to SuperData. These figures were pulled from from spending data for 37 million customers and include both full game downloads and DLC. Physical retail games according to the NPD generated $235 million.

Battlefield Hardline's visual direction is aiming for "heightened, dramatic realism," creative director Ian Milham wrote in a post today on the publisher's official site. "We’re not worried about authenticity so much as believability."

The look is meant to help sell the fact that the game is set in the real world. "Everyone’s detector is finely honed for the real world. If it’s not believable, it’s immediately noticeable compared to what you can get away with in a fantasy or sci-fi environment."

For inspiration, the team pulled from the simple, saturated look of many Michael Mann films, specifically Heat, Collateral, Thief, and Miami Vice. Ian hopes that the focus on visual presentation will help tell stories and sell some of that plausibility.

"For instance, on 'Bank Job' you can see how the first criminal team must’ve gone into the bank before the round starts, with the blown open doors in the front providing a distraction, and the strike team eliminating guards in the back. We also put in all the culture and signage around the world to help it feel like a real place and not just a 'multiplayer map.'"

Hardline launches March 17 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. You can see more of the game in the images below.
