Quite enjoyable. Worth the £10 or whatever I paid for it.

Resident Evil Revelations coming to PS4/XBO

I feel like they should release a resident evil legacy collection after this. 1, 2, 3; which all have good of ports (although I think 1 is missing content, like Saturn's battle mode) and also code Veronica. Then all the resident evils besides things like outbreak, dead aim, and gun survivor, and dark side chronicles would be on current gen consoles. That would be great. Go tell aunt Rhodie.

That's some great news! One of my favorite games in the franchise and I only had the opportunity to play it in its original 3DS form. Looking forward to playing it on my currently hooked up systems (I know it came out for PS3/360, but those consoles are in the closet right now).

the cost of porting probably isn't worth it. ps4/xb1 benefit from close to PC architecture. the ROI is significantly higher. but sure, dumb move yada yada yada
Excellent, better than Rev1 in pretty much every way.

Yes indeed. I thought they said the PS3 HD version already was already scaled back from 4K or something like that.

Seems weird they didn't announce a Switch version considering this game has released even in WiiU.

REV2 was one of the best games in the series.

RE 4/5/6 ports must've done decently. A Switch version is the only one that would interest me, though. Not much of a desire to replay this one.

I still prefer the first. I liked the setting on the boat better and I prefer playing with Jill instead of Tobey McGuire.

You say that like the Switch is using some exotic hardware or something. Capcom ported RE5 to the NVidia Shield for god's sake.
Its not like they can use the Wii U version to do a quick port to Switch, also the Wii U version is still broken as far as I know with dead zones on the analogue sticks

Cool, I'm in. Loved it on 3DS and skipped it on PS360/PC. It would be nice if we could get local split-screen support for RAID, but I doubt it.

Was it capcom that did that port? I thought it was another port team.

Yeah now is the perfect time to do a port like this for Switch. People want games to play and this shit should be relatively easy. Rev 1 is my least favorite RE game and I'd buy it for Switch because I want some fucking games to play.

Either way it was a Capcom game. Who says Capcom is the one doing the actual porting here or that they would have to be the ones to do a Switch port?

Im in for a 60fps definitive port of the pc ver. Raid mode was cool.

Someday we get Outbreak HD.
I feel the same way. I was hoping there was a port and even playing revalaitons on ps now.

I know right? That's what I want. At least with Rev out of the way. They have no more REs to port from last gen besides CVX and ORC which I don't see them doing. So they'll have to start hitting the PS2 gen catalog again

it's still added cost with little to no return. it will probably come eventually. the timing with regards to sales doesn't fit what they want from this release.
"yes, lets pay another studio to port this game to a new platform with few sales. there's absolutely no risk there!" like honestly the return just isn't worth paying people to make it.

I think CVX is coming next, they already did overhaul the lightning ect. so it would be easy port.
The biggest question is will we ever get 3 and if so will it be the old game or a remake.
I always recommend Revelations 1, and a version for updated hardware is always cool if it's priced right. I already bought/played it on both 3DS and Wii U personally, so unless it pops up on super-sale, I probably won't dig in again.
Honestly, people could get their money's worth just out of the raid mode or whatever they called it.
Edit: Play it in Spanish, the one true survival horror language.

Those were the best part of the game. Since they didn't drag like a lot of Jill's missions, which did so for the sake of being "creepy".
Exploring Zenobia with the ooze got old fast. Only two instances in Jill's mission were really well done
first fight with the mayday, and rachel
time to slap "from the director of RE7" in the ads. Honestly, didn't like the game due to some of the worse enermy design in the series like the molded in RE7. Really hope they get someone else to direct the next game. This director clearly have a thing for ship and crappy slimy enemies.
Revelations 1 is episodic too, to a much more annoying extent.

I never asked for this...
Where's the Onimusha rerelease, Capcom?

So now you're accusing me of being naive and downplaying stuff, when you all know how many times you've went the doomed route even for extremely silly reasons? Or how you downplay positives with stuff like "eh, it won't last", "eh, it'll flop", "eh, they won't support it either way"? Also, trying to say that Capcom has no interest in the platform because they can't even port a 3DS-to-Wii U game to it is a false equivalence; it's like saying that SEGA has no interest in the platform because they aren't porting Valkyrie Revolution to it.
I just can't see Capcom not supporting the platform, in the long run, if it demonstrates itself to be successful enough (of course, if it's not successful, the discussion changes). And the support in the long run is NOT demonstrated by a port of a port, honestly. If you want to keep on dooming left and right, no worries. But if reality (announcements) smashes you in the future (more like from 6 months onwards), don't ever say that you weren't warned though. You just can't keep to play that role, you'll have to drop the act and starting thinking "...Maybe I said stupid things after all".
Heck, maybe you still believe Disgaea 5 PS4 has worse graphics than Disgaea 5 PS4, and you never said you were wrong for that.
You gonna have to wait for them to run out of RE games to port first. /s
I believe CVX HD will come eventually next year, since this port comes out this Fall.

All versions apart from PC had that problem. So lame.

I have no idea why you think it'd be so expensive to port this game to Switch. Low cost ports of older games is one of the easiest ways to support a platform, Capcom has supported smaller platforms with more. Capcom should be wanting to help grow the platform that will in all likelihood be the successor to the platform that has had their most stable franchise for the past few years.
Why would they port it from Wii U when it would be far easier to port it from PC?

Yeah if you didn't like Rev 2, it's doubtful you'll like one. Which the majority agree is worse. Even from the people who like the Rev games, I rarely see 1 being preferred over 2.

Cool. Glad for people who haven't picked it up yet.
Revelations wasn't my favorite, but I enjoyed it well enough.
-/+ Passable combat/movement
+ Interesting but convoluted story
+ One of the best OSTs in the series
- Jill's face
Revelations 2 is way better and is probably one of my favorite REs.
Can't wait for Revelations 3 (preferably by Rev 2's director).

I enjoyed it (except the boss fights...) so I may give it another go provided there's a good reason to.
I'm with you.
On that note, however...after Mercs 3D, the idea of a "Mercenaries 2017" for Switch really sounds like something I would go for.
