50 is a bit much, how long is the game campaign? is it as long as RE5?
lololol
It sits pretty comfortably between RE4 and RE5 for length.

Wow the PC version of RE6 and REvelation coming out that close to each other, and without any GFWL. Who'd of thunk.
Too bad he misspelled the game name.
I've heard it's pretty short as it was designed for handhelds and were supposed to give you that "bite-sized" experience. Hopefully someone in this thread could clear that up though.
Though Raid Mode is what was designed for replayability and length, which they are adding things to it.
Edit: Ah ok, someone clarified. Well, the longer the better.
Most of the criticism existed way before RE6 came out, so I'm afraid it has nothing to do. In fact, RE6 being so bad in the end benefited Revelations, as most of his defenders use the "hey, it's way better than 5 and 6" argument, like if it was a hard task to accomplish or something.
Btw, did anyone really cared about Revelations plot? I thought it was ridiculous at best.

Does it have good replayability? I spend hours on RE5 beating the campaing as both Chris and Sheva, multiple difficulties, and finding treasure to unlock new weapons, and maxing their levels so I can get unlimited Ammo.
If this game has that, then I might as well bite the bullet.
That's every RE story in a nutshell.
That said, the story is pretty fucking bad in this game.
Not only is the PC version of Revelations good news, but interesting news too; is Capcom JP actually porting this themselves?
If this is QLOC, gatdayum; wouldn't be bad news at all, but if so, they are absolutely slammed with Capcom porting work. SFxT patches/2013, DmC patches/Vergil DLC, then this?

Yeah, I don't understand this at all. Must be the new trend. Charge full price for the game when it's first release as an exclusive, then charge full price again a year later when it's rereleased.

A lot of the replay will come in from doing the achievements, as they all unlock something that you can use in the game, as well as NG+, including certain series staples like the Infinite Rocket Launcher. Most of your time will definitely be spent in Raid Mode, as that has the lion's share of the game's content.

YMMV. I think Revelations is actually longer. Took me 13 hours as opposed to 8-ish for RE5. Crazy I know.
Regardless of which is longer, Revelations is a full-fledged game. It could easily have been a numbered title (other than the fact that it's a side story).

I find the idea of playing a console port of a handheld game on the screen of a handheld controller to be somewhat amusing. I'd be disappointed if we couldn't since I don't own a Circle Pad Pro.
God damn that boss. Even when you're more powerful later on it still gives me chills fighting it.

I'm really pleased about this, save me the hassle of buying Nintendo 3DS for this game. Can't wait to play this.

Haha, that part was so scaring!
Btw, happy for this port, more people must play this game. But with this price point they won't go so far. I'd accept 30$. I mean, the game is really good as quality-wise and as for production values might be easily a home console game, but people should be quite burnt over RE on console so I don't see how Revelations could succeed.

I'd say it's a shade longer than RE5, and personally I found more value in raid mode than Mercs, and I'm a big fan of mercs too actually. and yes, the story is crazy nonsense. of course it is. it's a Resident Evil sequel.
I would have paid it, easily
When I last saw this the headline only said 360 - pretty excited to see it's coming to PC. The 3DS demo seemed pretty good but I sold my system like a few days before the game actually came out :/. Glad I waited, though, since playing in HD with AA and a gamepad will be great. Between this and the upcoming port of 6, I look forward to a double dosage of zombie murder this spring.
The sound during that part was so fucked up, you could hear him from about 2 rooms away as if he was just around the corner.
Or is this a surround/stereo issue or whatevs? I don't know, it creeped me out, but the sound levels were enough to take me out of the experience.
I'm figuring that the rest of the new characters will be a mix of RE5 and RE6 cast members.
you know they're not going to use her ;_;
The story is passable, but is tediously over-complicated with a bunch of silly ideas. Which is basically every BIO story. They're written well but rarely translate into video game form without some loss of cohesion or some stupid bastard having a shitty idea he wants to throw in.
It's actually not a side-story. It's a main game, the developer's compared it to CODE:Veronica. Having a number in the title means pretty much fuck all in this series.

FUCK YES!
Now I wonder if RE: R will outsell RE6 on consoles across the board.

Will wait for the impression of those generous people who double tip to see if the 3D is worth purchasing the [cheaper] 3DS version, or that I should go with the PC.
Probably not, I'm sure people who haven't played/heard of how good Revelations is might be burned out by 6. Not saying that there weren't people who enjoyed it, but there definitely were a lot of people who didn't.

Not that i care, but Capcom should release a bundle of RE5 and RE6 for the WiiU.
Easy money.

Wow, Masterpiece.

I would say it is merely impossible; spin-offs rarely sell better than main entries; and now we are comparing a more traditional RE experience with the cinematic-action packed RE 6.
Between ORC and RE6 in the same year, Resident Evil burnout has to be pretty high.
I doubt Capcom is expecting amazing sales, and I doubt it would need them; the hard work is already done.

I'd double dip to play RE5 on the can.....(don't judge me). Still haven't played the full version of RE6 though.

This just confirms a moneyhat, the fact it's making it to PC makes it a perfect news nonetheless.

A bit too expensive for me as I have it. So I will wait but I am very excited for the new Raid mode add ons. Raid mode is the reason to play this game, it is better than the campaign.
Wow, man.
