But as ever, gameplay is king and in that respect for fans of survival horror Revelations is already a better HD prospect than the fifth and sixth games. The twin-stick gameplay - only an option on 3DS if you bought the Circle Pad Pro - suits the game perfectly, and the chapter we played felt just as atmospheric and masterfully paced as when we first experienced it on handheld.
The addictive Raid Mode, a sort of Mercenaries alternative that sees players either going it solo or playing online-co-op as they gun down waves of enemies while levelling up and earning weapons upgrades, is still a treat, and the promise of new characters (including fan favourite Hunk) is a welcome one.
What it essentially boils down to is this - the 3DS version of Resident Evil Revelations is one of the handheld's finest games and successfully captures the mood and feel of the series' golden age. Dodgy textures and lack of 3D effect aside, assuming the main adventure remains exactly the same on HD consoles, this is set to be one of the best Resident Evil console titles in years.
Revelations is fantastic. From another thread:
I love Revelations AND RE6. Both very different games, though. I prefer Revelations, which is just more consistent from start to finish. Speaking strictly objectively, in terms of polish and pacing and atmosphere/immersion, RER is second only to RE4, and I may even prefer it in some respects. RE6 has the best combat mechanics, bar none, but the gunplay in RER is plenty solid. Raid drives home how addictive it can be, whittling down enemy health bars with bullets to the head, or tripping their legs, or disabling their arms so you can charge up a crowd-clearing melee attack.
The episodic framework was a great addition. Hearing the piano-and-percussion theme build up during "Last time on RER" and seeing the cliff-hanger ending, and then the (always fitting) Dante's Inferno quote was a great way to get me pumped for each chapter.
The back and forth between the various characters, locations and timelines was a great way to keep the game fresh. No slow bits or filler here. You get a cliff-hanger in one location, in one timeline, and then you're treated to another location, at another time, so that you're always driven to complete one storyline because you want to see what comes of the other. Brilliant, really.
I didn't find it to be too "action-heavy" by any means. You have a couple guns-blazing flashbacks to Terragrigia, but the enemies there make those encounters tense. Other bits are distinctly "rescue" or "escape" scenarios that I felt were pitch-perfect for their part of the plot. But most of the game is a slow dreadful crawl through the ship -- and it's wonderful. It's a huge, multi-faceted setting, lots of ornate rooms and halls, lots of grimy blood-soaked corridors and flickering lights, lots of settings from the bilge to the bridge. You have casinos, cafeterias, promenades, upper and lower cabins, an observation deck, and more fantastical locations onboard I won't spoil. The last level in Raid, "Ghost Ship," even gives you the freedom to explore the entirety of the ship, with multiple paths to the true ending.
The Ooze were great enemies, capable of appearing anywhere, falling through the ceiling or spilling out of vents or climbing out of the ground. Zoning them is important since they can absorb quite a few hits. They're not bullet-sponges, though: You can trip them, stagger them, disable their arms or flinch their heads. Then you have some great boss creatures and a number of BOWs I won't spoil, but I'll say one of them gives the Regenerator a run for its money. (Those who have played the game, I'm referring to)Scarmiglione, the sword-and-shield BOW that splits in two.
Best stoy. Best motif (maritime meets Dante's Inferno). Best soundtrack. Best end-game. Most cohensive setting and look. Most thoughtful modification of RE4-style play. Excellent pacing and variety.
People who haven't already played Revelations are in for a treat.
Guess we need to make something better in the Custom Cover Art Thread, because that's just horrible.
It should be $30..
That box art is so ugly that it's kind of beautiful.
Yeah that's what I was thinking.
Regardless it's better than the 3DS version.
(Was that eye even in the game on any of the creatures?)
Nah, just a generic OOHOOHOH THIS IS A SCARY EYE IN THE WATER graphic.
I like this, though let's be honest how have the recent Resident Evil games been for box arts?
I'm kind of skeptical that's the final box art, since this version of the game is subtitled "Unveiled Edition" and I don't see that on there.
Capcom Europe has revealed the, well, European box-art of Resident Evil Revelations for consoles and PC.
No word if the same design will be used for North American and Japanese versions.
Welp, I guess it's final, then. So they're dropping the "Unveiled Edition" moniker?

Is that in the actual game, or just through re.net?
The Dioramas are pretty cool.

That box art is a sure fire way to get people to ignore your game. I hope they revise it (if its even real).
Why is this game 40 euro while Resident Evil 6 is 30 euro?

It's likely possible but isn't going to happen upon release.Any verdict on Wiimote controls?
Quick question: Will this game looks better than RE4 HD version or worse? or about the same?

PEGI 16? Is this game really that soft?
Erm, that's not a new monster. Isn't thatOutside of Rachel being confirmed a new playable character alongside HUNK for the HD version (maybe more to be announced), a new monster was confirmed to be in the HD version raid mode:

That monster was in Raid, though. RememberI meant new monster for raid mode, but I will admit I worded it poorly.
Though I've been hearing been hearing on and off there's supposed to be one more monster who is a new addition, not sure if true though. Something they want to keep a surprise, if I read correctly and/or if it's true..
