I thought the game comes out on the 7th? How are people playing this already?

 

[depward]

Just switched my preorder from Amazon to Gamestop. Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Baloonatic]

You'd think paying for Amazon Prime would actually get stuff to you at the right time. Grrr. They only just dispatched my CPP today as well and have decided to use UPS so it won't get here until Monday D:

If the game doesn't arrive tomorrow then I'll be mightily pissed.

Out in Europe today.

Europe region or for USA guys most independent shops will sell games early.

same thing happend to me

 

[Toma]

Both of the big stores in my hometown forgot to order it and had no copies there on launch and still have to order any copy... Unsuccessful hunt.

? Stores are selling the US version already?

Spoiler

There should be a valve on that side which opens the way to Parker's side. Pulling the switch on that side again closes a vent in another room which leads to the cog and also a valve that shuts all of the vents.

Spoiler

This sort of helped, but what I was missing was I had to pull the switch closest to Parker after pulling on the other valve first.

Yay time to move on!

 

[sphinx]

for those who have played the game, I have one question:

what kind of mindset do you need to have in order to be a reviewer and proclaim " This game and Cpacom dropped the ball, I give a mediocre 6 as my review score "

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Then why isn't it a home console game? Playing on a handheld is a completely different experience than playing at home.

It's arguably better.

 

[Toge]

I wouldn't say its better - I would prefer to play on a screen bigger than 4"! Still a good game (so far) though!

 

[Yoona]

It's arguably better.

Not really, the 3DS is pretty uncomfortable after a little bit. I hope the circle thing fixes that, though. Would be worth the $20 for that alone.

I don't have much of a problem with the comfort of the 3DS but it would be better if it was a Gamecube controller with a screen on it.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Sorry if I'm regurgitating news; but IGN says that the new MSRP is $40.

EDIT: D'oh, just saw the new thread.

 

[Neuromancer]

Love the title change. Oh Capcom

 

[Mafro]

Playing some raid mode (which is awesome btw) and it seems the missions you get from StreetPass can also be obtained from playing with random people online too.

There's also some weapons that can be bought using coins.

 

[I'm an expert]

What's the over/under on this being ported to Vita?

 

[bitoriginal]

Well after playing the game with the circle pad for a couple of hours, i'm still undecided on whether I actually like the pad or not. I was really looking forward to using it to increase the size for my hands, but it certainly has an odd design. It's not really comfortable, but it's better.

It feels really strange to use the second stick as it's harder to slide than the normal nub. Mine feels like it needs to be broken in so it's a bit looser. I don't think this is the best game to showcase the peripheral as the controls feel very sluggish. I also feel like I'm a little too close to Jill.

The game itself showcases the capabilities of the 3DS nicely, very impressed with the graphics. Story seems a bit insane but I can't comment more as I haven't played enough. I will say that I miss proper zombies in Resident Evil.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

What's the over/under on this being ported to Vita?

There is none.

 

[I'm an expert]

There is none.

Was that confirmed or commented on somewhere?

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

There is no over/under.

You're the first person I recall mentioning such a thing.

Doh, I just assumed you'd pulled the first switch. My bad!

Glad to hear it helped, anyway.

 

[cvxfreak]

Heh, thread title changed. Love it.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Has any one figured out how stagger enemies so that you may do melee finishers to them?
it seems so random?

 

[Grisby]

There's been no mention of a coming port, rumored or official.

 

[blu]

Well, duh, relevations.

In the demo you could stagger them deterministically with a head/neck shot. Haven't played the full game yet.

 

[kobashi100]

So how do you perform melee finishes?

 

[ConradCervantes]

Glad to hear about the price drop. $40 for a game of this caliber is far easier to stomach.

Am I the only one who thinks Capcom will port this game to the Wii considering it would be rather easy to do?

 

[Mpl90]

Am I the only one who thinks Capcom will port this game to the Wii considering it would be rather easy to do?

No, it wouldn't be easy for all effects and shaders Wii simply can't render. And almost no one would buy it on Wii.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Erm no ?

 

[blu]

Wii does not have to render the exact same effects for the game to look almost identically - UC had a very similar set of effects on the Wii. But I'm more curious why you think nobody would buy it.

 

[Mpl90]

Umbrella Chronicles was an on rail game, and being on-rails helps in pushing graphics. This isn't on rails, even if most of its scenarios are in the Zenobia, so little rooms. But it's not on rails.
But above all no one would buy it on Wii, because there's almost no one right now who would buy a RE ported from a newer console on an almost dead console. Wii is almost, if not, dead, right now.

 

[Phife Dawg]

I'd say yes.

Erm no ?

But then again, apparently not.

True, UC was on-rails which was used to a good effect. But RE4 was not on-rails, and while UC is arguably heavier on the effects, RE4 in-game still looks comparable to RE:R in-game. And Revelations' FMV cutscenes are pretty much captures from RE4 cutscene/UC tech.

But above all no one would buy it on Wii, because there's almost no one right now who would buy a RE ported from a newer console on an almost dead console. Wii is almost, if not, dead, right now.

I strongly disagree. You could claim the PS2 is dead (for a couple of years now), but the Wii userbase is still out there, helping Wii titles chart regularly in the tops of the sales charts. And this is before considering WiiU's BC.

Anyhow, I'll stop derailing the tread now, as RE:R is amazing the way it is, on the platform it is. I just wanted to say I disagree with your side of the argument ; )

 

[cvxfreak]

From what I've seen, the Wii could definitely handle most, if not all parts of Revelations. Perhaps it couldn't be a direct port, but it could be done.

If a port ever happened, I'd bet on a Wii U downloadable version.

Fixed.
Even cvx spells it wrong!!!!!

 

[Famassu]

No. The point is, 50 dollars for a handheld game is unprecedented. While handheld system game costs have historically risen, the jump from 29.99~34.99 to 40~50 is WRONG. In a market where people can and will pay for 99 cent games on their phones, charging as much as a full fledged, "couch" (yes, I'm using the comfy couch thing) game is not going to work. People don't want to pay that much for handheld games as they are uniquely different experiences. Plus, we as consumers are letting them get away with this if they keep charging more for titles.

1) it's not unprecedented

2) It's a game with console-level production values and features, yet you think they could sell it for 20-30$ less, when games often have trouble being profitable even at higher price points?

I can go play some really good games on my iPhone that are full fledged experiences, such as GTA and Dead Space. Consumers realize that, and pricing remains a major problem for Sony and Nintendo. Charging more for games is NOT the answer. If you want to let publishers get away with charging you out the ass for new games, be my guest. I'm not going to support handheld titles that are as much as a console game, and neither should you.

That is a moronic POV. It's easy to port games which have already made tons of profit when you only want to squeeze a little more out of it and Dead Space on iPhone isn't that much of a full-fledged experience as it is a repeatathon (with a kind of "get some basic gameplay stuff working decently, then repeat that ad nauseaum" development philosophy), it's really nothing in comparison to Resident Evil Revelations.

I would imagine a Vita port would be more likely.

 

[Arturo]

Not really, the 3DS is pretty uncomfortable after a little bit. I hope the circle thing fixes that, though. Would be worth the $20 for that alone.

I'm playing it with the Circle Pad Pro and it controls so good you'll soon forget how ugly this thing is… I had a hard time playing the demo with the default controls, but with the CPP it's a completely different story.

 

[Mafro]

This port begging is annoying.

So how do you perform melee finishes?

When enemies are staggered (lurched over with the sucker things hanging out their mouth) you just press the shot button as prompted on the screen.

 

[zoukka]

I still don't know what the Raid mode is like... anyone even play it?

 

[K1LLER7]

Heard you get it unlocked further into the game, I'm on the 2nd chapter so haven't got that far in the game yet.

 

[Mafro]

I played it for around an hour and a half last night. You unlock the first seven stages after completing episode 3. It's basically just a score attack version of the main game without any of the story stuff and different item and enemy placement. You level up your character and can spend battle points on new weapons and upgrades.

I had a great time playing it last night online, I stayed and played the majority of the missions with the same guy. It's a shame there's no way to communicate.

So is it too close to Mercenaries for me to ignore Mercenaries 3D? I'm wondering which of these I should buy or both.

 

[isamu]

Sorry if this has been asked before but, does this game have any kind of Mercenaries mode?

 

[rockman zx]

Yes raid mode, but it's not like mercenaries in any way, it's fun but not as frenetic.

 

[Mafro]

See my post a few posts back. It's similar to mercenaries, but uses levels from the game rather than separate larger arenas.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Just tried out Raid Mode and it's great stuff. Can see me pouring a lot of time into it. I hope the level cap isn't too low because I seem to be levelling up rather quickly.....
