The grip thing is not included with the game, and the game plays totally fine without it. Download the demo if you have the chance; it's great.

Hahaha, the demo part is totally different than the same scene in the game. And when I say totally different i really mean it. Maps, objects and how you even play it.
Good job Capcom, good job...
And when you start a new episode it says "Previously on Resident Evil Revelations..." and it shows the story scenes with some amzing music that hype you until the last episode ypu did plot twist.
It feels really cool. Im loving the episode thingy.
Menu, although the only achivement that I have, for finding a secret thing, popped in the screen "You have found secret something..." But i didnt know it was an achivement until I got to the menu. Seems it gave me a green herb, or so the menu says.

Just finished the demo. Holy shit that was amazing. It's exactly what I wanted from a new RE title. Loved it. Here's hoping the whole game is as tight and as tense as the demo.
Based on the demo, it seems that the game would be easier to control with the circle pad thingy. However it controlled fine without it. You could move and explore without much of a hassle. Seriously, go play the demo. I've heard GAF say good things about it, but I was doubtful. But boy, was I wrong.

Just saw a commercial on television, and I realized how weird it is to see a commercial for a third party portable game.
That was something I actually really liked about Alan Wake, so I'm looking forward to seeing it in this game, too.
Haha, is it? I didn't really second-guess the Birth by Sleep commercial. I wonder if I'll catch the Revelations one sometime.

Tell me about it.
At least, we have VVVVVV and Mutant Mudd to soothe our pain.

Wow, just wow.
Ive just beated the 3rd episode. Amazing.
The first boss in the game is already difficult in normal, killed me 3 times.
The sound is incredible, playing this with no lights and headphones is scary. The music is excellent, Im really liking some of the tracks. The "Previously in..." theme is my favourite, and the
theme is really cool. I hope we can get the soundtrack somehow.
The castillian spanish dub is top notch, even secondary chracters sound incredible.
Im even liking the story, some parts remind me a lot of the original games.
Jessica and Parker are also really likeable (Jessica's
is really cute :lol
Its really surpirsing seeing a, how can I say it, big like console game in a portable, the quality of all of it is thorugh the roof.

Could I just ask, whats the sound like coming out of the 3DS's speakers? On the demo they certainly sounded a bit tinny, but I just put that down to keeping the file size small.

How do you guys like it being broken down into episodes???
Seems cool to me but some reviewers hated on it.

Probably will be heading out of this thread until it releases in NA. Just one quick question for those playing it:
Without getting too specific, how have boss encounters been so far? Anything really cheap, or do any fights have interesting, unique mechanics?

Now the embargo has lifted I can answer pretty much any questions anyone has, by the way. I know I was dodging some earlier in the thread, but now can answer.
My campaign completion time was 8:35:47.

I really like it, its good for short pkay sessions if you want to play one episode at a time plus the recaps are pretty cool.
Also, there aren't any save rooms or typewriters. The game autosaves checkpoints throughout the episode.
And regarding upgrades, you collect upgrades and can use them at weapon boxes. It looks like they can be swapped out for another upgrade, so they aren't just one time use.
How is Raid mode?

How many playable characters in Raid Mode? Are there more than the ones officially revealed? I also saw you at least get 2 costume for each character in Raid Mode. Anymore than that?

Just to be safe spoilered in case people don't want to know - there's a clean-cut answer, though -
There are no save rooms, only autosaves throughout the story. The story is a strange mix of chapter-based modelled off a TV show - think Alan Wake - and Metroidvania stuff on the ship.
The game autosaves every time something major story-wise happens and every time a new chapter starts. Within chapters you can break out of where the story wants you to go and explore other areas of the ship. A key you get in Chapter 6 might open new areas in a place you were in during chapter 1, for instance - and there you might find optional stuff you might've missed including new weapons and upgrades - which brings me to shops. There are none.
There's no friendly merchant on the ship. Weapons and ammo are found lying around, and there's a pretty typical weapon upgrade system attached which lets you up the power of your favourite guns.
The ship is also littered with weapon boxes you can store weapons in, but not ammo. When you visit a box they all have the same contents, so you can store stuff at one end of the ship and pull it out at the other. You have to be at one of these to upgrade, too.
The weapon box stuff and upgrade stuff is only for Jill on the ship - other characters only use set weapons as their gameplay is more linear.

The Eurogamer review sums my thoughts up on this well, but it's really good fun. It's a really great handheld mode with a lot of replay value, and generally feels higher quality than Mercs 3D, perhaps because the areas were built for the more substantial single player segments and then adapted.

I note your use of plural. Tell me more.

There's essentially three teams in the game where you play as one character with an AI partner. They were shown in the trailers. Still, spoilered them:
On the Ship: Jill / Parker
Elsewhere: Chris / Jessica
In the snow: Keith / Quint
In all cases you play as the first of those pairs, but...

Mild, vague spoilers but for later in the game:
Later on there's a bit of partner swapping and some flashbacks with different duos. Any time Jill is in the group you're playing as her, though, and she is the only one who has access to the weapon upgrade system and stuff.

Please tell me this does not mean what I think it means. Are there Resident Evil 5 shenanigans in here?

I pretty much ignored them. Mostly there for story purposes, dialogue etc. In a gameplay sense I saw them firing off shots fairly frequently but not really killing anything.

No, they just do their own thing.
Yeah this was pretty obvious from the Gamescom footage but I glad to hear you confirm it.

I've played just past the first boss. I'm really impressed so far. It feels like a mainline Resident Evil game and the ship parts remind me of REmake had it been in 3rd person.
Here's direct-feed footage of the entirety of Episode 1. For those of us with no choice but to wait.

EuroGamer 8/10 Nice indeed
from reading the review I get the impression that Re:R Campaign is good but not as great as RE:4 and that Raid mode is the major hook, giving longevity to the title, (apart from any OCD players who like 100% stuff), well maybe Raid mode is hear to stay and it sounds good enough to be it's own game but is included in the package.....Nice...

As good as RE4 would be near impossible though. From what I've gathered, this is a spectacular return to form, bringing together a much refined gameplay system from RE4 with the style and feeling of the old PS1 games.
If Revelations is any indication as to how RE6 (or at least Leons campaign) is going to end up, then sign me up for maximum overhype.
