Why do brits have to spell everything so weirdly? God, its "Revelations", that's how it sounds like when you say it! You'd think that the language originated in the US.
Does anyone know the difficulty levels available for this game?
I should probably go back and read some more replies in this thread, but I just had to ask - does this game seem like a more traditional RE in the vein of the first few games in the series? (And not so much like RE4 or 5?) I've only had limited time with the demo and didn't want to ruin the experience when I sit down with the final game proper.
Yeah, I asked this a few pages ago and got nothing.
I want to know whether the scanner makes ammo very plentiful like it did in the demo.
Still debating whether to pick up the CPP or not.
Technically the game is consistently excellent but the tone is much more variable. Most of the sequences on the ship do indeed harken back to the original games, but those expecting an old school survival horror should temper their expectations. We did jump out of our seats a number of times - much more so than in Resident Evil 4 or 5, but much less so than the games before that. There are also no real puzzles, just a range of simple environmental obstacles.
.....The best Resident Evil since number 4 and that's despite a number of compromises in the story mode, but very much helped by the superb graphics and online mode.
Zavvi bundle arrived this morning.
Going OT a bit but surprised that the Zavvi frankenstick bundles are arriving so soon! Kinda wish I'd bought it when it was £30 like I planned to.
and zavvi fail me, postman walks past my house
kicking myself for not using the better sites which got it to people on wednesday
Just looked at the package and noticed zavvi sent it out by second class post, so I guess that's one reason why their delivery times are all over the place.Hmm, might depend on where you live. I got it from Zavvi today and I'm in London. 99% of the time my pre-orders from The Hut Group get to me either on the day of release or the day before.
The circle pad pro is very comfortable. Briefly tried it out and it feels weird being able to properly move around and shoot in a Resi game.

I'm in episode 5 and this is the worst Resident Evil I have ever played.
Completely boring

No complaints from me, I'm enjoying it much more than Resi 5. I've seen him post a few times about how he's not enjoying the game, but he hasn't really elaborated why.Funny how you are the only one so far that thinks so. But maybe you are right. I sure don't hope so though :/ I imagine more complains will come up as soon as more people get this.
Will start playing this now.
My one just came with the normal morning post.Mine was delivered today (also from Zavvi) but it was too large to be delivered by the morning postman. It was delivered by a Royal Mail van instead, so yours still might arrive today.

There's plenty of classic Resi Horror, especially on the shipThis game has so many flaws I can't even count them.
there is no horror (imo)
the characters are the worst of the series
episodic structure is counterproductive
design of the enemies is boring
boss fights are boring
too much backtracking
sometimes frustrating savepoints
story is really bad
level design is boring an completely linear (more linear than Resident Evil 5)
there's more but I just wanted to emphasize (is this the right word?^^) my opinion

Presumably you mean the supporting cast? No better or worse than previous games
Episodic structure is perfect for a handheld game
If these enemy designs are boring, then what does that make zombies in previous games?
Too much backtracking in a Resi game?
Haven't been frustrated by any save points yet since I've only died once
Story is no better or worse than previous Resi games

The main sections of the game (the ship) aren't linear at all, it's classic Resi mansion-style. The only "linear" sections are some of the other bits which I don't want to spoil. And the layout of enemies and items in that demo is different that the same section in the final game, in case anyone was wondering.Question: how does the level design of the demo compare to the rest of the game? The demo level didn't give me the impression that the level design was linear, the backtracking also made it feel less linear IMO.

Those of you had no faith in Zavvi are ridiculous. Mine just arrived now on release day and that was with free shipping.
My only annoyance is the boxart is kind of grey and weirdly printed. A bit depressing when the actually bundle box is so contrasting and cool. Oh well, the inside touches through the holes are nice though. Just got on to Episode 2.
They send it by second class, which is anywhere between 2-5 days delivery.Those of you had no faith in Zavvi are ridiculous. Mine just arrived now on release day and that was with free shipping.

Oh wow I wonder why they aren't selling it online, just checked. Very odd indeed.Anyone picked this up from stores in the UK? Having a look on Game and Gamestation, neither even have this game listed on their website. Don't fancy cycling around London looking for it...
