...or they don't want to buy a shitty handheld just to play it.

Ouch. I mean, that's very much true in my case but still...ouch.
Buy it and sell it?
I'm kind of surprised it got made for any platform given how successful RE4 and RE5 were.
That's a nice decision to make, however it also means that you shouldnt complain because of something you yourself are responsible for.

Right, because if that game sold really well on 3DS they would definitely make horror-focused games for consoles and not just assume that all horror-focused titles should be locked to handhelds.
That s their problem than lol
What about Revelations isn't "real RE"?
It's designed for a portable system, to be played in little chunks, compared to RE5, it looks like ass. Lots of things. People can value RE:R all they wish, but to pretend it's the same as RE6 being a horror game is untrue. It's exactly the same nonsense this board was filled with when people were calling Peace Walker 'MGS5'.
It's a 'real' RE, but so is anything with that name. It's not RE6, which is what matters to many people.
Which has nothing to do with what I said. The game is still getting made, and releasing in a couple of weeks. You're free to not buy it for whatever reason, but it's your own choice and doesn't mean such a game doesn't exist.
I didn't know only main numbered games were worthy of being considered part of a franchise.
I really don't care about the number. I care about design compromises for portability and a technological step backwards.
Considering how they are going for completely different looks in those games, no Revelations doesn't look like ass in any way.
Which have nothing to do with the point at hand. I don't think anyone claimed Revelations is RE6 (which, I agree, would be as idiotic as the Peace Walker being MGS5 nonsense). This doesn't mean it should be ignored altogether, though.
People are complaining about the focus on action in RE6 and wishing the series to move its focus back to its horror roots, when a full fledged Resident Evil game supposedly moving the focus back to said horror roots is releasing in a couple of weeks.
Does a game need to look better than its previous release to be worth considering? Honestly, I can't see what your point is.
nope.avi
The point is, you consider RE:R to be 'full fledged', some don't.
How is it not? Because of the episodic structure? RE4 and RE5 also have several chapters. What else is different? Please don't say it's because RE5 looks better. Please.
But it is full-fledged according to the very people who made it. Capcom has even drawn comparisons to CODE: Veronica, the last main series RE game without a number. The style is distinct, but saying RER is not "full-fledged" is not the right description. In fact, RER takes some directions that are not seen in other main series entries, but are important parts of being a full-fledged game/experience, such as moving while shooting, a voice track in 6 languages, and so forth.

Right. So I'll drop $200 to get the system and game, hunch over the amazing 3.5" screen and relish in the horrific atmosphere. Surely that would be worth it and satisfy all my longings for where I imagined RE as being capable of going.
Oh well, if the developer say so.

bad gameplay lol
Guys.
You don't argue with cvxfreak when it comes to Resident Evil.
You just don't.
Seriously.

why does this look worse graphically than RE5?
;_;
;_;
" The team didnt focus on the fact that it was for a handheld; they just made a full-on Resident Evil"
From the latest Iwata Asks. The team obviously think they have done a full-fledged Resident Evil. But I guess you know it better, lol.
Oh. So RE6 isn't RE6 either? What a pitty.
No, it's a full-fledged RE game because I say so.
Because Revelations is the closest you will get to a more "traditional" RE experience in this day and age.
It's that simple. The RE experience you long for won't be coming back any time soon if RE 6 sells as much as RE 5.

Its on a portable system (shitty one at that), and portable games aren't real games.
SMH some people..
What do you desire, then? Your posts only mentioned it not running on your platform of choice.
Bear in mind, I don't really have any interest in defending anything about the game. I just found it funny how people are complaining about RE moving away from horror right before the release of a more horror focused RE (the timing of such a complaint is what was funny to me, if that wasn't clear), but some of the replies to my post have been... unexpected.
People say RE6 seem to look worse than RE5 (honestly, I disagree). Stu listed one of the reason for dismissing Revelations as it looking worse than RE5.
By that logic, RE6 should be ignored as well ;p

Back to roots?
REvelations goes back to the RE4 roots maybe, not the original ones.

Touche, do you know the one opinion on RE I trust above yours? Mine.
People can argue all day, what actually matters is the opinion of the individual poster. If you're appeased by RE:R, wonderful, but it's not for Capcom, or you, or Jocchan or anyone to 'correct' the opinions of others.

Oh Neogaf.
That was jokingly targeted at StuBurns saying that REvelations isn't a full-fledged RE because its graphics are worse than RE5's among other things. ;o
Seriously?
I can't believe you took that comment seriously.
Because the trailer obviously shows console footage, and let's be honest the trailer itself isn't that high quality.
If it is Sherry, even more reason for surprise.
Okay. Let me rephrase: I can't believe you actually had to respond in that manner.
Anyway, I'm personally glad Capcom can see past insular and outdated opinions and make great experiences regardless of the platform. I hope Revelations is not the last handheld RE we get this generation. I want more.
