Resident Evil Revelations: RE Retrospective 

Chris going missing? well, color me surprised.

This game was the glimmer of hope that capcom can tune the RE machine back to survival horror. Remember this is a HANDHELD for the underpowered 3ds. Mind blowing. Such a great game

I'm surprised you didn't bring this up when you mentioned them, but, zombies were going to be in the game. If you go back to the original reveal trailer you can see zombies. Said trailer also had Chris and Jill pointing guns at each other other a guy whose tied to a chair. There's even a few shots of someone who looks like Hunk and maybe(?) ouroborous tentacles. People always talk about 1.5 or the various iterations of 4, but I really wanna know what Revelations story was originally going to be.

Honestly, Revelations one of my favorite Resident Evil games, and I could never really put my finger as to why, but I feel as though recently I figured it out. You said that the enemy design is sorta samey, and while I can understand that, just having this theme of creatures from the ocean hits a sweet spot for me, not to mention it was one of the first RE games I played, downloading the demo on my 3DS when I was 16. When I played it on PC, I was blown away, and it was the first time I payed attention to the story in an RE game instead of just skipping past or ignoring all the story while eagerly waiting for the next enemy to show up. This game is what started my love for the series identity as a whole, and not just for the "shoot not-zombies, big set pieces and bosses, explosions!" gameplay of RE4 & 5, and for that, it has a special place in my heart. And then Revelations 2 came along, and I heard you'd got to play as the glorious Mr. Jill Sandwich himself, and it made me love the series even more.

On this day, 20 years ago, September 10th 1998... The Raccoon General Hospital admits patients suffering from a strange sickness. A doctor writes that the patients' skin is rotting, that they're losing their minds. He describes them as the living dead. It would turn out he was right.

SILENT HILL RETROSPECTIVE PLEASE

Another awesome retrospective, however, I can shed some light on MT Framework as I'm a dev xD So check this out. MT Framework is NOT a game engine which is contrary to most of what you could find on Wikipedia. This means that it is much easier to be able to extend to work with different consoles and devices as it doesn't have all the features and bloat that a Game Engine has. MT Framework is a framework as the name suggests, it is a bunch of loosely coupled libraries that handle graphics, sound, physics and so on which makes it easier to swap out different portions of the library if they are a bit too robust for the game being designed with it. I should also note that MT Framework Mobile was used over MT Framework as it was built with the graphics, control scheme, cpu processing power, sound chips and other hardware with mobile devices as the main target. To sum this all up, A Framework is a collection of libraries and tools that are used to develop games and applications whereas a Game Engine is built specifically for creating games. There are pros and cons associated with both. For example with a framework, you'd have to still build a core engine for the game (which is different from a game engine) from scratch. A game engine handles most of the core engine aspects of the game development process and generally makes it so you mostly only have to do scripting to create your game.

I dont get how you can fault this game for having a lack of enemies, but you didn't do the same for RE7, which has like, a single enemy type, being the black goo monsters.

Fun fact, re5 technically plays on 3ds, the mercenaries 3d was originally re5, but they stopped working on it, they still had a working demo so they just made it into a mercenaries stand alone

Boulder punching friend! Lol Yeah that's Chris, Not everyone can be the master of unlocking like Jill!

Revelations 1 & 2 are SO underrated!

I liked this one a good bit more than most of the modern RE titles but every time Raymond was on screen, I would snicker. That dude was completely unconvincing. I don't know what they were thinking with that guy's design. There was one cutscene where his face got "stuck" in its pain animation (I guess?). It was great!

I actually never mind the variarity off monsters in this resident evil . I feel theres alot more enemies types than re 7 . Re 7 it just threw mold enemies that looked almost the same atleast here they tried with very weird and different variantions . And it felt like there was a pattern with the t abyss virus unlike re7 mold . And i bougjt this game so many times . I got for the wiiu , 3ds , xboxone and 360 . So yeah it was worth my time i think XD

Revelations 1 is good and all but for me Revelations 2 is where it’s at Plus it’s got my boi Barry in it so of course I love it

I really dig Revelations, it really blows my mind that this is a 3DS title. Also, nifty fact, the Circle Pad Pro controls are also available if you have a new Nintendo 3DS. This may sound strange, but there's something about this game that really has PSone era charm and sincerity that I can't quite place (not graphically, obviously) and also kudos to Capcom to getting this game on almost everything that can run it

Thank you for calling out the lack of laser in later ports. It helps give the game so much depth perception. :((((((( reticle looks ssssssssssssoooooooooooo flat. Total immersion killer.

I snagged the 3DS version when it was on sale for $5 on the eShop. I think it was a total steal, and I loved this game so much that I bought it again for my Switch just to play it on the big screen.

Now that i have watched it, i had no idea that it was originally a 3DS release, it is a graphical wonder for sure. Thanks again for an amazing and interesting video❤️

This game is pretty good. A nitpick I had with it was that you practically can't play hard mode first, because it's unplayable, for newcomers at least. You have to beat it on normal, because new fame plus lets you play in any difficulty. Which is nice and all, but I think this meant that hard mode was designed for new game plus from the beginning.

Just wanted to let you know that your series has lead to me purchasing and finally playing the original Resident Evil (REmake) on PC. Loving the game so far but I love this series just a tad bit more, keep up the great work!

during the first minute: "oh it started out on handheld?" 10 seconds later: "YOU CAN DODGE THAT?! i pretty much agree with everything. i really love the creepy desolate ship atmosphere, with rachel whispering to you from the shadows and showing up to try to kill you. i just hate pretty much every other character's story bits. plus, from the instant i met her, i couldn't stand jessica as a character or raymond's constant state of resting bitch face.

As a fan of the old school RE games. i did enjoy this. and the sequal was even better! hopefully that's the next video! also the dodge mechanic was hit and miss. since you could do a 180 instead of dodging it was bad!

All wrong with tour Review. "I don't like it cause it's episodical, i don't like it because i have to scan things" WTF man?

I liked parts of Revelations, but was very put off by the comparisons to the originals. For every great moment, there was a straight up shooting gallery (there was a Hunter section that lasted I swear to god 20-30 minutes). I can’t stand the enemy wave encounters.

This was my first RE game! Haven't played it since my first run through about a year or so after it came out, but it was good enough to get me to play the rest of the series! I think Rev 2 was overall better, but that's mostly because of Barry. I think I'm the only person who enjoyed Keith and Quint in this game. They're sections are really dumb, but I felt they were an homage to the sillier parts of RE, just like the other sections were homages to the other RE styles. Plus Keith has 2 knives, which is pretty cool.

I really liked this game when I played it on my PS4. I don't have much desire to revisit it, but I had a great time

I really enjoyed RER I had to wait for the HD version but it was worth it I still remember that I didn’t went to school the day it came out and I played all day haha my favorite part of this game is the effort to return to the roots and the enemies which are awesome especially Rachel, Malacoda and Norman I almost shit myself the first time I heard Rachel laugh 🤣

This is actually my favorite RE game thus far followed very closely by RE1 remake

This games Soundtrack is insanely good! Also I would love Raid Mode implemented in every RE-Game, it's so addicting! ^-^

The raid mode is really fun if you can get someone to play with

Let's just take a moment to appreciate the genious monster designs of REvelations. Seriously, Lovecraftian deep-sea monsters is such a great idea, it brings that "fear of the unknown" that every horror media dreams of achieving. The monster design is the best (non-boss) in the entire series IMO, I'm just fascinated by it. Look up concept art, it's absolutely astounding.

So what are your plans after finishing the RE retrospective? I really enjoyed every single retrospect and you really changed my view on a lot of the RE games Thank you so much for making it!

Does the world end when you've covered 'em all? Beause goddamn, this has become a part of my life. I can't wait to see each one as it releases and such. (Hyperbole intended)

I really like this game, and found myself extremely invested into the story due to it being told in a unique way for the franchise. I think the laser sight was ditched to make it easier for the 3DS.

"OH GRINDER." Yeah, those side characters were lame. That Rachel segment was great though. Revelations 2 is the far better entry, in both story, gunplay, and Raid mode.

One of my favorite games of all time and I don't care who knows it. Something about the scanner adds this brilliant arcady dimension to the game while the game simultaneously carries itself seriously. Add on top of that the many different and rich settings the game puts you in and I think it has this perfect blend of fun and memorable experience that'll leave you longing for more. ...Which you won't find :(

I wish instead of leaving RE Mercenarys 3d being left behind on the 3ds, i wish it would have been included as a mode in the revelations HD version as a new mode. Same characters as mercenarys 3d but with maybe revelations characters added atleast.

Love these videos, dude. I've only played 5 and Revelations 2, but now I need to play all of them. (Except for Survivor) You should do the Dead Space series after these.

For me, I think this one has to be my second favorite in the series with _Resident Evil REmake_ being my absolute favorite. It's only because I never played any of the classic titles unfortunately with the exception of _CODE: Veronica X_ , which wasn't all that great.

First played Revelations on my xbox and thought it was ok but this past year I played it on my 2ds and enjoyed more it fit perfectly on the handheld and felt more natural but thats just my personal preference

Hmm I prefer revelation s 2, it's more horror based with its atmosphere, this one is too much like 5

I’ve been on an RE kick for a couple months now and part of that has been watching your videos. I never really played any of the games before I played 7 in March. Thanks to a timely RE sale I got most of the games and I’ve been working through them by chronological order. I just finished revelations 1 and I’m gonna start 2 in a minute. Really looking forward to Village. It’s been great to just get totally immersed in the resident evil world the past months. I really enjoyed Revelations. I thought the story was interesting and I liked the side characters like Parker and Jessica. Great design of some of the enemies especially the final boss. As someone who has been on a few cruise ships, it’s a perfect environment for a horror experience to take place in. Definitely check out the game, plus you get Jill in a wetsuit. How can you beat that? haha

I love this game. Got it on ps3 and the switch. My one problem with it was the dodge mechanic. Thankfully revelations 2 improved it. Add the awesome raid mode and you have a game with high replayability. Personally I like revelations 2 better but the first game was a blast

I still have my day one 3DS copy with the typo and all. It's really dumb that I'm proud of owning a game with a typo on the spine...

I remember being very impressed by the graphics and thinking 'Wow. Maybe the graphics are close to the vita.'

Its sequel, Resident Evil: Revelations 2, actually has nothing to do with this game story-wise, it is however connected by its tone and structure. Both Revelations games take place between two main entries, they both follow an episodic structure, they both harken back to the series' survival-horror roots, and they both feature an arcade style "Raid Mode" unique to this sub-series. Takes place between the events of Resident Evil 4 and 5.

Hey dude, just wanted to say the retrospective is great and also tell you something funny. So i'm watching it and i keep getting surprised at how similar our opinions about RE are, particularly about 5 and 6 and how bright colorful buttons in QTEs are annoying...Then i saw you reply to a comment asking about your job and it turns out we do the same thing, bouncer and cook. lol If you happen to cook at a Italian restaurant too i'll lose my shit. Well, keep up good work. Can't wait to see you going through the awful Umbrella Corps.

Actually Veltro didn't cause the panic of terragrigia due to the solar energy development, but due to show that hell is already on earth, if you read some files you'll know what i mean Edit: typos

I thought the game was pretty good and the story was ok. It's not the worst nor is the best. I play this game couple of times a year.

Most people seem to like RE: Revelations 2 more than one, but I find Rev 1 more charming.

I really liked the BOW design in this game. It's different. A different color pallet of terror. Splooge monsters are indeed frightening. I like how they just flop around and move completely unlike their body-shape would betray.

It's been a few years since I've played this one, but I remember liking it quite a bit. I also remember how much anxiety this game caused me with those baddies all over your ass most of the time. I screamed a lot at my TV screen during this one. And yeah, what was up with the scanning?

This game was awesome for the 3ds. It was good. Good graphics and story.

The PC version is probably the less demanding Resident Evil port available today. I played it on my old Toshiba laptop (bought in 2009), and it ran really good, way better that RE5 and the remasters of RE4 and REmake.

TBH this is the game that got me to fall in love with the series. the first one i played was 6, then i was looking for M and T games on the 3DS and found a demo for this game in the e shop. after 1 minute of the demo i was in love with the game, it was instantly at the top of my Christmas list. i remember opening my gifts and as soon as i saw this stopped opening gifts just to play it, at least until i was told to put my 3DS away and finish unwrapping my gifts. LOL Hell almost every console i have that i can get this game on i hav it. i have it of course on 3DS, PS4, Wii U, and switch. the only console that i can get this game on that i didn't get it for is my PS3, even though i already have it on everything else i am not against the idea of buying yet another copy of my favorite RE game.

I remember getting both revelations 1 and 2 as gifts off of steam, knowing that they were a different take on the resident evil main games I was curious so I checked it out. Revelations 1 felt more like Resident Evil 5 to me in a more simplistic story line as well as graphically just different. It felt like an old game graphically to me. I did like the characters but I was surprised at the ending of the game to me, it felt like there was more to the story by the time it had ended. I am looking forward to Revelations 3 whenever that will be, because it felt like they never resolved 1 to me. Anyway, great review man, keep it up.

The Resident Evil Revelations Remastered Retrospective can be abbreviated as RE RE RE RE So Im watching Rererere right now. Good video.

Just finished this game today using Xbox game pass. It’s fun,I love the ship but some sorts drag a bit. I’d recommend it if it’s cheap or your using game pass.

So it's 2024 and I just finished Revelations for the first time on PC. We're past all the remakes and I've been say without a doubt that Revelations is still a great game. The reviewer doesn't even mention raid mode which is tied to the single player based on how many levels you beat. I personally am addicted to raid mode in both Revelations. This title mires resident evil 4 with resident evil 5. And if you feel how the movement is today it's comparable to the RE4 remake. What made this game great was when I beat it on normal I wanted to go back right away into new game plus with my weapons. If you're playing a resident evil game and it makes you want to go back and play it immediately after you beat it it's doing its job. So I'm going to New game Plus with my weapons and collect more parts for weapons to make them stronger and then play infernal after I beat it a second time. The game loop is all tied to raid mode so they work in tandem as far as unlocks and this game is just really fun. If you see this on sale or have picked us up on sale. You're going to have a good time. Put the headphones on turn the lights off and get ready for some resident evil Greatness. This is just a really good game.

The game starts strong but becomes to action focused in the end - and the "riddles" are a joke. "Dang, door is locked - better use the touch-pad right beside it to unlock it"

Enjoy this retrospective series alot man but you're far too kind to some of these games, it's alright to be a bit more critical! Everything just seems to be "fine" or "not as bad as what people say", which I find hard to believe when it's applied to nearly every game in the series apparently.

You completely missed out on the 3ds motion controls. That's a shame. They are better then the switch, and they rival mouse and keyboard. I loved beating the game for the first time using re4 controls with full 3d, and then my mind was blown, like the head of many a now extinct b.o.w., when I found the gyro controls. It makes the gunplay the most satisfying I've ever experienced in a game! I have the switch version, and I appreciate the extra content(plus inferior motion controls); But Revelations is my favorite Resident Evil game!

I absolutely loved this game, but the only thing I genuinely felt cheated on was puzzle solving. the only "puzzle" i can really remember is the backtracking to get the shotgun. I really wish they had expanded the main ship environment and cut down on some of the other character's time. That would have just made this the perfect resident evil game for me if it had.

I love your resident evil retrospective series but i notice there is one game you havent retrospected yet but it is called resident evil mercinaries 3d. It is a good game i love it, it is arcade style and is more fun than horror

This game reminded me of "Cold Fear".

Not my favorite. Honestly looking back i think i had more FUN, with RE6 lol. I know fuck me... i'm a classic fan. But the Rev games just didn't really do it for me. It certainly was more of a RE game than 6 in the traditional sense, but idk, it still had half of its body in the action formula and that god damn awful camera! Not until RE2 remake would Capcom nail that oldschool feel in third person as far as i'm concerned.

I just beat the final boss on wii u guys! Fiiiiinally, im proud

Well done , frankly ,in my opinion Revelation 1 was better than Revelation 2 ,Re 6 and Re4 😊

Can you do a review for obscure 2 ? Or the forbidden siren series ?

I’m all about Re owned and played every Re game (even gaiden) except both revelations Buuuuuuuutttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt You Should iretrospect Solent hills

Zombies on a boat!?!? Im sold and imma prolly stream it too😎

Love this game overall but that final boss can go right to hell

Revelations is underappreciated in my opinion. Before Resi 7 and the RE2 Remake, this was definitely the title that came closest to bridging the old and new. Sure a few more puzzles wouldn't have hurt, but between the level design and key hunting, this was it. The design of the Queen Zenobia, in particular, is of note. The other RE games of this time all favored linear environments where, for the most part, once you left you weren't coming back. Always moving forward. Only Revelations had a fully explorable environment that continually opens up as you explore and progress. This sort of working your way out of the maze type design is preferable in this series over the linear style. I'm certain there are plenty of others who agree. It's the Spencer Mansion on the seas! While the series has used the "ship level" several times, this is inarguably the best one. I know a lot of people don't like the tv show style recaps, but I quite like it as something different. Not so much that I think it was essential to the game, but it did give me the feeling of playing through a horror version of an episode of 24, which is in no way a bad thing. There are some moments where the action gets a bit heavier than it should, (Looking at you Malacoda...) but for the most part the game feels like a survival horror. Creepy atmosphere, and decent boss encounters. The first time you encounter both the comms officer and Rachael are very memorable, tension filled moments. They really should've only used Scagdead the one time though. Fighting two of them kinda ruins something. Rachael, works really well at being a classic RE stalker monster! Not quite the likes of Mr. X...but still good. Lastly, as a reason to appreciate Revelations, you play as my girl Jill. I liked the Jill angle in 5, but it still leaves you wanting more of her. That's where this game comes in to give the player their Valentine fix. I'll close out this comment with the following statement: Here's to hoping she shows up in RE9!

Very refreshing game after what was the abomination that was 6 and ORC. Visually appealing, good mechanics even with tank controls. Decent story although moderately illogical. Wide variety of weapons while toning down available ammo. Has some of the creepiest monsters in the series (comms officer, Rachael, Norman and some others). Revelations still has one of the side games in Raid mode-especially the ghost ship levels which provided me endless enjoyment. The ending leaves you with something that could have been implemented in future titles, but we are left hanging again. I will agree we could have done without Grinder and Jackass. I think there was a very wide variety of enemies in the game though. Overall much better than the game I’m about to slam in your next video. Lol

With each of these videos I get the incredible urge to play each game. Thankfully I have this on PS3 so I don't have to hunt down a copy on 3DS...buuuuut I might just for collection sake lol (My 3DS could use a few more notable titles). Another great review my friend! Hey so, idk if you still have intentions to do more designs for your Redbubble shop, but you should do some RE shirts! Idk if that would be hard to do, but considering I want to eventually buy a lot of the ones you have up already, that would definitely be one I would add to my cart!

Binging your videos at work. SphereHunter spoke of you and I am glad I looked into your channel .

Finally played this game. Rather easy and not really scary, but it was never boring and the monster selection was decent.

The thing about this game, much like 5, is that it was clearly a much better game at some point during it's development.

Seeing all this anime bullshit meet 24 was quite something. RE6 took the peak bullshit award in terms of story but this game came very close. The 3DS controls with both the 2nd stick attachment and the later New 3DS don´t work btw. The sticks move at a different speed for some reason so you have to make due with default controls. The 3DS mercs collection frankly had better feeling shooting. It´s also kinda crazy that the already bewildering scanning gameplay was moved over to the HD remasters. Revisiting the game was fine but the followup holds up much better today.

5:00 Bioterrorism is a known thing at this point, so that's why Hunters, zombies and such appear on the news.

Don't know why it took so long to find this channel...but I love it!!! Keep up the final fantasy and RE stuff!

I love this game but on the 3ds not PC or Xbox or ps4. Just use citra and upscale it to 720 or 1080p and you get the same effect and graphics. Plus it's the original, how it's originally meant to be played

Revelations was a wonderful little title. I like the tight corridor and limited visibility the original 3 had. Sadly thanks to this and 5, I'm convinced Chris is now the most boring RE character to date. I'm ready for RE2make to blow me away now.

RAID mode was the best addition to the serie as a whole IMO, and revelation 2's RAID mode was amazing and probably represented 95% of my total playtime of the game...

Playing as Zero Suit Valentine honestly takes me out of the "horror" feeling quite a bit. Not to say I especially dislike Revelations--and it might also be that I got around to it AFTER playing Resi7--but it's kind of underwhelming to me.

I actually like Revelations 1 more than 2. It's faster and less clunky overall although I Revelations 2 has better graphics and is more terrifying. They nailed it on the 3DS and I think it has translated seamlessly to consoles. Revelations has my favorite raid mode of all the RE games; leveling up, unlocking, and modding guns and unlocking characters while ramping up the challenge has kept me playing the games for years now and I still love hopping into matches and starting a new file from scratch. I didn't realize why they did the episodic thing back in the day because I wasn't tuned into all the other episodic stuff going on. I just thought it was a sort of novel new way to tell the story and while at the time I was more blown away by the visuals than the story I had a hard time following the story. I wasn't used to playing a game that changed characters and locations and had it's own world of words. Of course after playing it many times and even just watching the cut scenes it's such a simple story to follow and it's almost as if there are no surprises. I think the first time I played it I experienced the most fear but even then it was just a bit tense; nothing compared to the scary factor of RE Revelations 2, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, or really any of the RE games. I'd say Revelations is the least scary and most accessible game for a general audience. A perfectly ok place to start playing the series though I'd always recommend REmake for 1 or Resident Evil 4 for someone who wanted to get into the series as they have their own stories that are also easy to follow and get into lore without needing much backstory. In retrospect I think that the handheld episodic thing makes a lot of sense and was smart of the developers. I think switching between characters from stage to stage made me feel less attached to all the characters in the game and on my first play though it made the story seem far more complicated then it is. Still I love the Revelations series. I think it has the best graphics of any 3DS game ever made and it shocked me that it launched so close to the start of the 3DS generation. I thought the 3DS would be getting loads of bigger console type experiences but Revelations was a diamond in the rough; nothing surpassed it's visual fidelity and production values in my opinion. Definitely a top 5 Nintendo 3DS game in my book.

I have Revelations 1 and 2 on my switch and I enjoyed them alot. Although I'm a huge resident evil fan so I pretty much love all of them lol (actually thinking about playing them now, or resident evil DS)

The Revelations games are criminally underrated. I just now played both. Revelations 2 Co op with my wife was a blast, and I am going through Revelations now. Was hooked immediately. Great game.

RE: Revleations is okay, the issue is the pacing in the story is maybe one of the worst in the series. The mystery is "where did Chris go??" and you just ...get that solved by cutting to him randomly and he's okay. So, you know you're wasting your time on the boat except to just escape. Then you cut to the two goons and their overacting isn't endearing. Then you cut to the flashback where you're gunning tons and tons of hunters down. I keep seeing "RE went back to survival horror!" Did it? I've never machinegunned hunters down like that and nevermind had so many action sequences where you're holding down the trigger. It also wasn't scary, at all. Creepy enemies? Sure. Sometimes. The scanning mechanic is tedious as well, slows the game down. Unlike Metroid Prime where you're scanning enemies and getting some lore or weakness info you're just working to build up an extra herb. You should have only played as Jill through part 1, then after the mystery is all sorted? THEN play as Chris, something like RE2 if anything. It's a fun and good game game, I like the ideas they had but I don't think it's survival horror. Especially when you're, again, rewarded for getting kills. It was a technical marvel on the 3DS and whatever they cut out was less likely due to time and more to do with it being the largest game on the 3DS in terms of data(it also made the game cost more to buy). Those bloody end of episode cutscenes probably didn't help that any.

Chris is someone who I'd want by my side in the apocalypse. He's always there for--- what's that? He went missing? AGAIN? For Fuck sake! Well at least he won't get amnesia once I find h-- What!?! Are you fucking kidding me!?!

I imported the joystick add on for my 3dsxl from Japan made a huge improvement on the 3ds controls

I got my 3DS at launch and there wasn’t much to play at the time. The game I was most excited for was Revelations though, I played the Mercs game and it was a bit of fun but I had much higher hopes for this game and personally I think it was a huge success. It looks great on the weaker hardware and it’s a very well crafted spin off. Sure, it’s not on par with the best of the series but that’s not what I was expecting. I just wanted some RE fun on handheld and the game delivers that while managing to maintain the feel and look and not feeling like a massive downgrade from the mainline entries. The Raid mode also offered a ton of fun. I’ve also played the HD port but the 3DS is my favorite way to play the game.

First of all THANK YOU for doing this reviews. It really puts a smile on my face everytime i see the notification for your videos. It's really awesome that there are still such big fellow RE nerds out here in youtube. I rememeber when i heard Capcom was doing a new "retro" RE and man i was hyped as shit, then i realized it was for the N3DS... But then, after a while it came on Xbox 360 and since i owned that beauty i bought right away. I freaking loved. And i know, it's not one of the best RE ever created but for me (and after the disaster that RE6 was) this was like a send from heaven. It has many flaws but at the same time it's in my top 5 RE games ever. The graphics were really good for the time, the music was melancholic and fitted the tone of the game. The controls were finally improved and all the customization for weapons and items gave me hours and hours of joy. Ye3s, the plot was crap, but in good, goofy, funny way, not in that dark, moody and awfull RE6 style. And yes, some characters were annoying, like that clown looking guy (and don't even get me started on the awfull voice acting), or those two weird creepy guys thatyou control in a mission. But that was nothing compared to been able to play as my lovely love Jill Valentine... i mean... DAT ASS haha. Parker was a good addition to the cast also. Jessica on the other hand... i hope she never returns! The other thing i didn't like and that you didn't mentioned was a huge issue for me at the begining. The way the camera keeps moving, simulating being on a ship was really bad for me. I was having movement sickness for a while and i felt that effect was not necesary even if it was kind of cool to see it for a couple of minutes. It really amazes me how you complaint about the controls and the way characters move in this game but didn't do the same for RE6 (in my opinion those were terrible beyond believe). I guess that shows that everyones opinion and experiences with games are different haha. And yes those "previously on" were fine the first time but in multiple playtroughs are fucking annoying as hell. I agree with you in that the enemy variety was really bad, i got tired of seeing and killing the same white monsters over and over again, and plus, they really wanted you to fight hunters.... wich for me was the absolute worst since hunters are my most hated enemy in the entire franchise. I know they are cool and dangerous but i died so many many many times thank's to those assholes since the first RE that i can't help but hate them with all my soul haha. Can i ask why you didn't even mentioned the AWESOME Raid Mode??? For me that was a huge part for what i really loved this game. I'm not a multiplayer/online type of guy and to be honest i never even liked the mercenaries mode (i'ts cool but, i HATE when games makes you do something in a timer, for me that's just no fun) but Raid mode hooked me like no other mode. I spent like 120 hours playing it and even got to N°1 in the ladders for my country (Chile) and N°4 in South América. My poor disc got almost destroyed out of so much use haha. Anyway, sorry again for the long post. As always good review and keep the good work sir. PS: I still have no idea what the big "REVELATIONS" were...

I found this game to be decent. I thought the scanning system was really dumb. I also never got into Raid mode. It could have been a fun co-op adventure, but they obviously had to go with single player being a 3DS game. I still have the original misspelled spine on the case. Great review as always.

Yo the monster from here are far from superior from the ones of resident evil 7

Honestly the mandatory dodge mechanic which is "dodgy" on PC and the never ending enemies even after clearing a room killed my motivation to complete this game. Which is a damn shame for me. I wanted to play it for years.

Considering it was a 3ds game is impressive. But I was bored to death with this title. Enemies are bullet sponges and combat takes forever. And the recap is just crap.I need to play revelations 2 which I heard it's better.

I wish they gave those two guys, whose names I forgot, more time. They were fun to play as. You know, the tech guys.
