Resident Evil Revelations Review - Does it hold up in 2021? 

The Revelations series is what kept me interested during the RE 5 & 6 era.

Definitely brought horror back into the series. Felt claustrophobic and the Oozes were scary at first. The sea monsters sheesh…also MAAAYYDAAYYYYY

This was my first resident evil game and I remember playing it when I was a kid. For me its my favourite from the entire series. Nice review

Man, I remember picking this game up on a bargain sale off Amazon just before I went on holiday. Decided to play it one night (3DS) and was absolutely hooked/blown away, it looked phenomenal for a handheld title and the gameplay was SO good, plus the story was enthralling, enjoyed every minute of it! I'll admit I've definitely forgotten about the scanning mechanic and that seems like a chore, but I wanted to revisit it and get a little refresher so, thanks for the vid!

The Comms officer is the most scariest boss, I have to say. The thought of trying to help someone, but then helping someone does not reward you with even the slight feeling of completion, but instead being attacked by whom you just helped.

Really enjoyed this game! Way underrated. Pacing is weird on a console but it was gangbusters on 3DS! (Designed for on-the-go Resi) Glad u dug it despite that! Could've used more enemy variety, only so many sludge monsters I can take 😆

The Comms Officer moaning Mayday Mayday actually got me in edge. Great part

I played this both on the 3DS when it came out and the HD rerelease on xbox one. Honestly felt better as a portable console game.

This was my first and only RE game and for me it was amazing. I loved the monster designs a lot. I have an obsession with the sea and fish ever since I was little so it really fits for me

This game is still probably my favorite resident evil and it’s definitely worth your time it’s aged extremely well and I still adore the gameplay, it’s even better with pc mods, I still love the graphics but I wouldn’t mind a remaster

I've beaten the game countless times, but Rachel still gives me the chills from the moment she begins humming. But it's also sad when she screams "it hurts!", but you know it's either her or you, and she can't control her behaviour, because she's infected and clearly suffers.

Yes it is . This was originally on the Nintendo 3ds and it was so good that they ported it to all consoles. I loved it on my 3ds and I just started playing it on my switch .... damn it's so fun .

After 3 years plus, reinstall and still excite me, especially love the coop in raid.

First RE game I ever played and still enjoy it, especially with all of the new weapons and things to find, unlock, and use in co-op games.

I used to find the scanning aspect a little annoying over time until a friend of mine started playing and noticed that there's a little dot that shines if there's an item you can reach without having to move (just looking around). That means you can just bring up the genesis for a second without having to move the camera around all the time and made it a lot more bearable for me

This was the first resident evil game I ever played.... I have many thanks to give to this game since if I didn't play it I wouldn't have become familiar with the series and wouldn't have played resident evil 7 which is one of my favorite survival horror games of all time

I was so hyped for the 3ds release, played the demo in Mercenaries 3d (on cartridge it included a 'pilot version') and later the real eshop demo hundreds of times, and played hundreds of hours on the final 3ds release, which was and will always be one of the most amazing games on that system, with the best 3d. Later played it on Wii U and Switch, had some good upgrades, but it felt way less amazing. Yesterday played it on 3ds again, it's by far still my favourite version, and I still know it by muscle memory and heart.

Just played through this for the first time. There are some things I love and some things I really hate. The levels outside of the ship are boring as shit and throw way too many enemies at you at once. Who thought having you fight a dozen wolves and hunters at the same time was a good idea? The swimming segments really outstayed their welcome as well. I'm glad we got a full game with Jill, but overall, Revelations is one of the weaker entries in the franchise for me. I'd give it about a 7/10

I love that you can earn a trophy if you kill rachael before getting to the cafeteria. I dont know why I liked that in particular but I think it's awesome.

This game saved my life....no really. I had back surgery that went bit badly and ended up with spinal fluid leak. I had two more surgeries in following two months. I had to lay perfectly flat pretty much all the time for months. I got a 3ds and this was the game that took me by so much surprise. How did it look so good? How is it this much better than RE5 and 6. It was really the 3ds in general that saved my sanity during this time, but RE revelations played the largest part. I wish you had done the 3ds version. It's visuals are just absolutely impossibly good for 3ds, nothing else comes close. The RE merc 3d game and MGS snake eater and a single man indie developed eShop survival horror "silver falls 3 down stars" (some VERY specific areas, namely the motel rooms, as it's extremely unbalanced and hilariously indie in it's graphical quality consistency) being only worthy mentions that come anywhere close

I remember i picked it up at Gamestop without having seen a trailer or anything. Loved it. Reminded me more of classic RE than 5

Definitely S tier in my opinion, I love it and would play it again and again. It does hold up and I would recommend it especially to newcomers.

One of the most underrated in the series, it was really fun and reminded me of 1 at times and felt great to play once you get the hang of it and it has some of the best music in the series still, the story was also pretty solid for what it was too

Great video man. Keep going. I’m someone who’s familiarity with RE went as far as watching all the films and casually playing 5 back in the day. Recently though I’ve been on an RE spree after picking up 7 and loving it. Thanks to a well timed sale I picked up almost all the games and have been working through them chronologically. I just finished revelations and I really enjoyed it. As someone who’s been on a few cruise ships, I’ve always thought it would be a perfect place for a horror experience to happen. This might be blasphemy but I might even say I like Revelations better than 4. I disagree slightly with your take on the bosses as the game progresses. The final boss wrecked me and I loved it’s design. Very cool. Well, now it’s on to revelations 2

I’m 28 and never played RE as a kid. I stopped gaming in 2010 or so and missed the entire seventh and eighth generation until 2019, when I bought a 3DS and Switch. I played this on 3DS with RE4 concurrently on Switch. Flash forward to 2021 and I’m playing these again now on PS4 haha

Your videos are so good. Thanks for making them!

Nice review. I agree with the scan feature, but then again, coming from the 3DS it's understandable

One of my favorite in the franchise! Love the sea and ship environments!

This Resident Evil game is worthy enough for my collection...🤘🏼💯✔️

I bought this game on 3DS when I was 12, the boss Rachel ooze really freaked me out. the boat was intriguing, some areas were scary others reassuring (like the hall). I had always wondered how the crew of the boat reacted to the infection, but in my humble opinion, when infected can move in the air ducts and move everywhere,I think there are still a few survivors after 2 days, like the signal officer or like the body stuck in the air vent and the bodies on the ground at the start of the game, They must have been the only ones to reach the exit but unfortunately oozes trapped them. I think it took 10 days maximum for the crew of the boat to be decimated

I have a doubt when I try this game on my friend PS3 back in 2014 (especially after RE6), but god damn I was wrong, a few days later I see this game got sale on steam and what a great experience. I must say, this game is how to appeal to both RE Action fans and Horror fans. While RE6 try so hard to appeal to all fans by spliting the campaign by genre (Leon: Horror, Chris dan Jake: Action, and Ada: Puzzle), Revelations give us a proof that Capcom doesn't really need big budget campaign story they just need a one solid balance between fun action gameplay, intimidating horror atmospheric and Presentation.

The aiming sucks on the Wii U version. Is the ps4 version just as bad?and is the aiming better on revelations 2?

Idk why but i remember the boss fights being extremely frustrating Especially the guy that screams "Mayday mayday" and the final boss The main menu theme is the best in the game honestly

For me both Revelation 1 and 2 have much replay value because of theyre different challenges and achiements in theyre champaings and of course the raid mode both games have. I think they both are on a high quality just like the nain title.

I really love the face Model of Jill in RE3 Remake(Sasha Zotova) because it resembles her looks in the old RE PS1 game but Julia Voth looks hot as Jill in long hair like this in RE Rev and the Blonde Long hair in RE5 it suits her face more. Short Hair Jill = Sasha, Long Hair Jill = Julia.

When I was 14 I shat my pants off and back on because of this game. This game to me had the perfect combination between tension build-up and jump scares. Around every single corner in those small dark corridors and rooms an ooze monster could be lurking, knowing that made it so extremely tense to go anywhere and whenever you encountered one it was straight in your face.

As a classic fan of the series i enjoyed the old school parts of the game quite a lot...there are a couple of pure action levels that are boring, but otherwise its a pretty good mix of old and new. I didnt mind the scan gimmick, im a Metroid Prime fanatic so it kinda felt unoriginal if anything, but i liked it. The graphics are insane for the 3DS, dont know what kind of black magic Capcom pulled off, the game is more enjoyable in 3D aswell, very good 3D in fact. Graphics 10/10 Sound 9/10 Gameplay 8/10 Longevity 9/10 For me the game is 9/10, specially for being a 3DS game. The online multiplier was also very enjoyable, even tho i still like RE3D more for online.

Bro so glad to see such positive comments for this game, I'm bout to go through my first playthrough ever!! Playing all the re's before villiage comes out!! Later dayz y'all 👍🏾

This is my 2nd favorite RE game. I do think it managed to fuse both gameplay styles fairly well.

Played this game for the first time when I was marathoning resident evil in the months leading up to the release of village and it was scary for my first time. I do however prefer the second over this one.

I played this game on the 3ds, you have to use the face buttons to aim, but I still think it was super fun and a well constructed game on the 3ds. I enjoyed my 10.5 hrs with the game and would definitely play it again

I enjoyed Revelations on its own, but what really got me was playing it again on Infernal mode. Holy hell....it is some of the most fun I have had in an RE game, and that difficulty alone turned it into one of my favorite RE titles. I don't want to come off sounding "elitist" over something as dumb as a videogame difficulty setting, but playing this game on Infernal truly feels like the "definitive" version. Also recaptures a lot more of that tension, since every bullet means that much more, every weapon upgrade is a slight increase to your odds of survival. Plus it operates as an "arrange mode" similar to Director's Cut, so items may be found in different locations, enemy placement is completely different, and there are absolute mobs of enemies in areas that were previously safe. It really scratches that "survival" itch.

This is the first Resident Evil game I have ever played. I thought it was excellent! I can't wait to play the others.

The women not having their breasts out shows how awful the times have moved forward

Actually, yes it does. And there’s still quite the community (myself) who still play it today. Pretty good campaign. Some good and some crappy characters. Interesting enemies and strong bosses, and arguably the strongest final boss in the series. And then there’s raid mode. Raid mode is an amazing grind, though the RNG will drive you nuts. Revelations 1 is a great, yet underrated gem, Big fan.

I can’t decide if I like or dislike this game. It does so many things that piss me off… and yet, the first thing I did after beating it was go straight to NG+. Anyway, it’s worth mentioning how phenomenal its OST is. It’s one of my favorite scores in the whole franchise, and a far more intricate composition than what you’d expect from a handheld title.

I'm gonna be real here i loved revelations. Only because I played the mercenaries 3d so much that revelations has pretty much the same control's that raid mode made it so addicting to play.☺️

when the door hit parker i laughed a lot jsksj 10:10

I have a very good memory of this game, m'y first 3ds game, i played it at night for the ambiance and i fully agree for the two first bosses what a Real stressfull horror moment each. And also the game on 3ds looked less light and more dark in the hallways. And i had the chance to play coop mod with m'y brother with a Real difficulty and many enemies, what a good time even if the game isnt perfect at all.

Resident Evil Revelations factoids: • The game had several tentative titles: "Lost in the Abyss", "Dead Cruise". • Producer Kawata first got the idea for Revelations when he learned that a handheld with 3D capabilities was in development by Nintendo. He wanted to create a Resident Evil game that used that feature. • They started out with porting a stage from RE5 to the 3DS for testing. And once they saw that it was running well, they decided to turn that stage into a full game: Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. • The E3 demo that shows Chris and Jill aboard a cruise ship, was merely a tech demo designed to showcase what they could do with the newly released 3DS handheld. What they had learned from having worked on The Mercenaries 3D on the 3DS. They were still working on the script for the game. And that is why things changed in the final product. • The original idea for the plot had the Queen Zenobia reach a port after a viral infection hits the vessel. And the story continues on land. But the producers changed their mind and thought that they needed to keep the concept of being isolated intact. Where you have no way to escape. So most of the action took place in the sea. You can still find sections of the port area in the final game, tho. It's the section where Jill and Parker have to scan corpses that look like fat blobs of flesh. That was supposed to be the port. And you have to climb up to a path that leads to a town. That you can still see in the background. • The story of the game was set up in 12 chapters. They adopted an episodic format similar to a Telltale game. However, they never considered releasing each episode separately. But having the game divided in episodes was seen as something that worked well for a portable device where players played for short amounts of time (unlike happens with home console games). And that is why each episode begins with "Previously on Resident Evil Revelations". To remind players what had happened during their last gaming session. With Revelations 2, Capcom revisited the idea of episodic format. But with that game, they decided to adopt Telltale's episodic distribution model. They were hoping that people would discuss the game between episodes on forums. To get other people interested into playing the game. • The game was going to take place entirely on the Queen Zenobia, in order to maintain the being isolated factor. But the devs introduced new locations to avoid having the player get bored with playing on the same stages on every single episode. Variety was seen as a plus. • Raid Mode was originally not planned to be added to the final game. Because the original game had online co-op capabilities. Like in RE5. However, when it was decided to turn the game into a single player campaign, the producers thought that they should find a way to reuse the co-op game play in the game. And that's how they came up with Raid Mode. Where you play entire sections of the main game with another player. • Revelations was the 1st game of the series to feature Japanese voice work. • Revelations Producer, Kawata, was so happy with the end result that he wished that he could've made the game part of the main numerical series instead of it being a spinoff. It's still canon, tho.

New sub, great voice, hope you blow up fam!!👍🏾

The first time I played Revelations I found it effectively scary. The problem with Revelations is the same problem EVERY HORROR GAME has, after you beat it, it gets less scary with repeated playthroughs. That’s why you get morons saying RE4 isn’t horror, no it IS horror it’s just been played over and over for the past 16 years and you know what to expect

It was great on the switch, but I like Rev 2 better, 1 didn't have a decent variety of enemies and raid doesn't have as much content. Playing as Jill again was the highlight.

One thing I like to point out with the 3DS Version of the game is that you need the second analog stick for camera control otherwise it would just ruin the 3-D effect

I will have to say yes this game is worth buying I bought this game three times I have it for the 3DS I had it for the PlayStation 3 and I have it for the PS4 and this game is one of my favorite Resident Evil games

Honestly, I think it's great still. It's underrated and underappreciated. I love that it's heavy on the fighting, but not too crazy like RE5. It's a great streamline RE experience w a little more guidance and sections with a little more linearity, but they made great use of the assets they had, and made a lot of good scenarios moving through different setups. Lots of good sections where you play a pair of side characters that make new game+ still very challenging. You aren't gonna cheese your way through Inferno. Honestly, if someone wasn't into Resident Evil, but they were thinking about trying the games, I would tell them to pick this one up, it's a great introduction. Revelations 2 kinda sucked balls tho, too many instakill moments, wimpy characters, and last of us 2 player environmental progression w banter, NO THANK YOU. Played more like the Evil Within, it had a real identity crisis. Revelations is great though, I was glad to see it on PC so it can be properly destroyed due to the ability to aim well. It adds a new layer of difficulty playing it on the original hardware or controller in general. And honestly, it's crazy to think that it was designed for the 3DS for goodness sake, that's awesome. Think about it. Drop your preconceived notions of what a Resident Evil game should be, and appreciate what it does well! it's such a great hybrid, streamlined RE game w a little handholding and guidance, but some exploration still, and they don't draw a line to where to go or anything. I think it's a great entry. I freaking love it. Raid mode aint half bad either. I hope someone will play with me on wii u in 2024😂🤣😂🤣🙃

Come Back after 8 Years and playing Raid Mode in PC to 50 and now the better PS4 Version to 50. You can pick it at a Low Price and it needs some Skills to Finish the Game and play the Endgame Content in Raid, i Love this Game so much. Better than Rev. 2 for me.

I hated this game. After re-playing 1 and 2 Remake, this one feels like a weak boring game. Like, enemy design is kinda bland, and it doesn't do any favors to the fact that shooting at the jelly monsters feels like you're shooting at jello, ergo, it doesn't feel satymisfying. But i guess that for a 3DS game it was ok, impressive even, but not even close to being a good RE game

I know that this is really late and I have seen things on the controls for most of the review videos because I'm thinking of purchasing again for ps4 for completionist need but if you want classic controls like tank and not being able to shoot play it on the 3ds where it's really makes the game more terrifying.

My first and favorite resident evil revelations played on the Xbox 360, I love the revelations saga, I played revelations 2 as well. I think they should give this formula another shot maybe with a resident evil revelations 3 to try to combine once again action and horror but better, since till this day Capcom flops with Resident evil 7 and 8, too much action.

Just bought this on my 3ds before the shop closes

In 2023, Nope. The game story never caught on with me the game felt pretty slow paced like too slow even compared to Code Veronica. And graphics are stiff and muddy even on Highest settings on PC consequence of a game made for 3DS hardware so not much room they can make it look better without major overhauling of the game's graphics engine which they did in the sequel. FOV were too narrow, so I feel queasy the whole time playing it. Its sequel was a far better game looks much better too but the skill upgrades made no sense and mostly not worth it in REV2 though.

I'm replaying Dead Space trilogy cuz I never got to play 3 and ironically It made want to check this resident evil out that i too never played. This looks like it is Dead Space, right down to aiming, walking, weapon upgrades and the map being frustrating as hell to get a good angle to view. But Dead space does make you have to keep track of your ammo and you have power nods that up grade your weapons, but you can gamble with them by using them to unlock specific doors. You may get new weapon blueprint or just ammo. Iv reloaded a few times already cuz I felt I used to much ammo or needed to make a different upgrade. Im definitely gonna play this Res but it lacking just those 2 features takes some of the strategy out of it.. and a little fun.

Meanwhile, me - who has replayed this twice and never even thought about using the rifle for anything ever - Also, I find the atmosphere greater with the camera behind the back. I just dont feel anything from fixed camera angles. It's like I'm watching them from a TV instead of being there with them

I'm still fairly new to the RE series, having only played about 4-5 titles so far, but this one is definitely one of my favorites - right up there with the RE1 Remake. The atmosphere on the ship is absolutely eerie and it's one of the places the sound design really shines. (The unsettling 'maaaaydaaay' from the Comms officer is an excellent example - as you brought up in the video.) I'd have to slightly disagree with your opinion about none of the music tracks being a standout, though, as I find the music that plays when you first enter the Promenade Hall (where Parker makes the opera house comment) to be a fantastic piece and one I personally enjoy - but to each their own! Great review, btw, it was nice to hear someone else's thoughts on this game!

My favorite 3DS gane and one of my favorite Resident Evil games.

This was more impressive on the 3DS. Considering it was originally an exclusive for it, it was more impressive as a handheld. Consoles, not so much. However, they did include some extras and had a more stable raid mode.

Good memories playing it but completely forgot that stupid scanner😂

For 1$ i guess it worth

I loved revelations, it gives a different vibe especially since throughout the campaign 50 percent of the time you're by urself and 100 percent of the time ur partner is useless and does no damage. And the enemies prioritizes u only

My controversial opinion is that Revelations 1 would've been a RE4 better than RE4. Let me explain before y'all jump at me. IMO it's just that Revelations 1 still has the level design (big closed space) with a lot of backtracking, puzzles and horror but it also has the changes RE4 made that revolutionized gaming at the time. I think Rev 1 is a smoother transition from oldschool tank controls survival horror to over the shoulder "horror/action" gameplay than 4. That said.. the older I get the more my feelings for RE4 get lukewarm.. I firmly believe that you can throw RE4, 5 and Revelations into a pile, shuffle them and the first one to come out of the pile would get to be 4, it would get incredible praise for how it moved game design forward. The other two would get bashed to smithereens. I say this because man... after the village RE4 just goes downhill as a RE game. The castle part is very over the top, Salazar's goofy design made that entire act more like a horror/comedy like Evil Dead than true horror. The last parts of the game are straight up shooting galleries where you fight dudes wielding gatling guns and whatnot. The game definitely has some memorable horror moments like the first Dr Salvador encounter, the first Garrador, both Salazar's bodyguards (Verdugos?), that monster on the falling platforms and of course, the Regenerators. And yes, I do expect RE Village to be very over the top much like RE4 but I mean.. I'm going with high expectations for an excellent game but with low expectations for an RE game.

Don't you get access to infernal right off the bat? It's a great way to experience this game first time for veteran fans.

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.

The game didn't even hold up when it came out. The only reason why people like this shitty game, is because the series was on its lowest back in the days and people were thirsty for anything that even resembled a return to survival horror, even if the result was a mediocre game like Revelations. (Raid Mode was great thou. Best mini game in RE history.)

HOLA PORQUE CUANDO HABLO EL JUEGO resident evil revelations SE CIERRA SIN MENSAJE ESTOY SOBRADO CON LOS REQUSITOS CUMPLO CON LOS RECOMEDADO DE SOBRA ME PODRIAS DECIR PORQUE SE CIERRA EL JUEGO TENGO WINDOWS 10 HOME

I remember this being the 1st resident evil game i played (when i was 9) i didnt even know it was a bloody horror game I screamed the moment the first zombie attacked and was too scared to play afterwards but a few years later, I have fun playing revelations 2 and RE 6 with my sis, and played code veronica on my dad's PS2 (tho the disc got destroyed by my little brother....) And now when revelations 1 goes on sale for $9, I'm definitely gonna try and complete it A shame that rev 1 doesnt have co op despite having 2 active characters together sometimes but it is what it is

Mayday guy and norman are extremely hard

I finished it for the first time today. There is some good stuff as well as some bad or questionable stuff in this game, but the gameplay is fine and I think that's what matters most in the end. (Although the dodge mechanic is an enigma that seems to only work when it wants to, sometimes needing me to press the button and sometimes not.) I think having concurrent storylines focusing on different characters in different settings was a great opportunity to keep the action and horror focused segments separate, but they did not fully seize that opportunity.

Yeah I love this game but I super agree it falls off about the mid point or the last bit. Though its games like this that Im surprised RE4 never got ported to the 3DS. But to be fair this is mostly a indoor game.

Game is good. Boss fights are guite interesting and cleverly done, I really liked ship setting and combat is solid third person over the shoulder shooter fare.

yeah, the map... I just always tried to memorize every way possible, at least around he general areas... which I failed at miserably, but I was too stupid for reading the map, so... no other choice :'D

Can anyone tell me if you can still find people playing raid mode on the PC ?

Jack of all trades, master of none. . . That's how I feel about Resident Evil Village.

resident evil revelations is my first game and i played it through in 2 Days and i was shocked how good it was it really hooked me got addicted on the nintendo switch. lets go to re revelations 2 and 6

This game is FANTASTIC! I have only TWO gripes.. The dodge button is broken as HELL! and that duo the nerdy computer guy and his companion are GARBAGE! the voice acting from that one guy is awful... and the dodge mechanic can make the last boss a pain.. But apart from that it's a truly great game in need of a remake in my opinion the ship location is amazing and the t abyss virus is really cool water zombies are actually a pretty decent concept... its different but this games theme of water and being set on a ship just works.. recently gave this game ago and I'm glad I did.. but yeah I feel this game NEEDS a remake.. nothing to drastically different just a tad longer.. remove those annoying characters or at least fix the voice acting and either change or remove the dodge mechanic and it's good to go

Buying this tomorrow for my Xbox 360 £4 and it's backwards copat for Xbox one s,so what a steal in 2023 🤘

Just finished it. It was pretty good and what are your thoughts on the raid mode I wanna try it but idk if it's good or not

A true Review😮😮😮

Does it hold up? Hell yeah, the main character is Jill that alone makes it worth to play and she is in wet suit, makes it double worth it. Okay jokes aside I really like this game, it is my favorite among the over the shoulder RE games. Considering this was a handheld budget title, they did an impressive job. I really pissed when they annonced this fresh looking game for 3DS exclusive and they gave us RE6. Capcom really slow to learn, this game is obviviously for classic fans, why are you limiting your audience. Thank god they figured earlier this time (compared to RE Remake). I played on PS4 and still playing thanks to addictive Raid mode. Now speaking for the game. Story is a little confusing, I remember first trailer Jill and Chris pointed gun eachother near the msyterious figure (Big theory was, he is HUNK). I wish to know what was their original plot. Story is okay i guess. At least we finally saw a bioterrorizm plot after so many games. Gameplay and atmosphere are amazing and biggest selling point for me. Finally no tank controls in action heavy RE game. If you are gonne make action focus RE, don't restrict with tank controls, it was RE5's mistake. Atmosphere is the what I exactly wanted. Ghost ship setting is perfect setting, it is what I couldn't find in RE4 and RE5, sadly they couldn't make this atmosphere in RE6. My critisism is other places are not as interesting as Ghost ship. They fixed QTEs, that is how you should do QTEs (and they screwed really hard after that). For characters, Jill is amazing (she is my favorite character), Chris is good. Can you belive it they finally became partners since RE1 and it was only last two chapter, why Capcom? I liked Parker but I wish they made more stand alone parts. An AI partner kinda ruin thrill element. Jessica and Raymond are interesting character, I wanna know more about them (But Capcom probably forget them). Comedic duo sucks, they are forgettable characters and they have no place in the game. For bosses, first two are top notch. Everything is amazing, build up, tension handeled incredibly. Comm Officer is really difficult for early encounter and I admit I used cheap tactic after frustration but still I like it. Rachel is easy boss compared to Comm Officer but her build up is amazing, despite being easy she is one of the best bosses in RE series. Later bosses are sadly not impressive and helicopter fight is straight up boring. But final is really good. Norman is toughest boss I've ever encountered in RE series. Great and fitting final for the game. Musics are good, I especially like main theme and final boss theme. RE Revelation is a good game and a good RE game as well. This game has good balance between action and horror, it lost its balance after halfway but still good (thanks to final). All that critisism about main characters are too powerful, you can't make survival with them, you should only make action, it just proved all of them wrong. With right setting you can do it. Capcom should make more revelations games, RE has rich characters and lore, just use them for this kind of side games.

I have RE5 RE6 And RE operation Raccoon City

Anyone having cutscene lag? The audio and the subtitles run just fine, but the video lag makes it desync.

The worst RE imo and I’m a huge JV fan. Only parts I kinda liked were aboard the ship but the pointless AI partner sucked away any tension I could’ve felt. Should’ve just been Jill alone the whole game with the occasional encounter. The characters were all insufferable and why couldn’t any of them die? Isn’t this supposed to be an RE game? It’s like watching a slasher movie where everybody lives!

After completing Resi 4 for the first time last month and blowing me away with its insane design, I jumped straight to Resident Evil 5 and it blew me away with extreme disappointment. Its controls are terrible on PC, the level design seemed undesigned for people with working brains, and resource management was swapped from being strategic to a frustrating COOP system that hosts one of the worst AIs possible as a permanent partner. Resi 5 feels like an arcade game posing as mainline Resi game. So I took a break from that abomination and instead tried Revelations because I've heard good things from it. And boy was I surprised yet again! This game is far more creative in its design, more suspenseful, and more worthy of my time. I found the story to be actually better than resi4, though I can say scenes in resi4 are far more iconic. But compared to 5, revelations blows out that game in every design element, except enemy design and graphical fidelity. There's actual exploration, the level design is intricate and allows for memorable landmarks to be engrained in your memory. And the back and forth to unlock old locked rooms is nostalgic to experience. The combat, even though far more simplistic than 4 and 5's limb dependent system, does a good job of creating tension while not being frustrating unlike 5. This is because the AI partner in this game is designed to not be a hindrance to the player - unlike 5 which makes you want to mod Sheva out of existence. The chemistry between Jill and Parker is also great and I loved Jill even more as a character here. Even Quint and the "annoying" sounding guy is not annoying to me and brings a needed levity to the pacing of the game. And yes, the pacing of this game is excellent. I love how levels are divided into chapters and closing each out with cliffhangers makes playing the game addicting and never boring. The overall presentation of this game is mindblowing considering it came from a handheld game. The only gripes I had with this are the same with what you mentioned. Notably the 3d map which never helps me at all because it's incomprehensible due to being vague and disorienting. Also, I really agree with the female character designs. It's very jarring to see Jessica with half of her pant sleeves gone and Rachel with her cleavage sticking out. Its odd considering Jill is well designed IMO. She's slick yet sexy and formidably at the same time. Overall, I loved this game waaaay more than 5 for one main reason: you actually get to use your brain while playing this game.

Regarding the dress style for the female characters, remember this game was originally 3D......I'll let your imagination fill in the rest. ;)

Great, now this makes me want nothing more than a definitive edition for the New 3DS with dual stick controls, all the extra content, and a way to kill off those damn Sea Creepers. Piss luck to ever getting modern Nintendo to get that going, though...

it really doesn't imo....it's in the worst possible awkward inbetween spot of being actiony and survival horror and not being good at EITHER.

One thing and I'm not getting on you for this I've just noticed this about the re fan base is that the second half of all resident evil games even the old games is more action based

Sheeeesh bro amazing channel 😎👊

Resident evil revelation is very good.want story + characters game or raid mode.i still play and enjoy ****♡
