Pre-ordered this at GameStop today. Got the pre-order bonus case already. Here's a picture of it on my 3DS: http://i.imgur.com/WGVqc.jpg. Yea, it's one of those holographic images that change when you move it, but overall it's nothing special, feels pretty cheap.

Well just completed Resident evil revelations, fantastic fantastic game, one of the best in the Resident evil series and really puts RE5 to shame, the game is a nice mix between REmake and RE4, the graphics go from very nice to jaw dropping, a lot of reviewer were complaining about the story but I thought it was entertaining.
My one complaint is they way in which the multi player is unlocked, it doesn’t do it automatically you need to select the reward from a different screen.
So to sum up one of the best mobile games ever made and while not as scary as one would hope it is a really nice return to form for the series.
Also something that did bug me was that they change the story from the original trailer in it they gave the idea that Chris was going to be doing the hole "Ends justify the means" thing and they seemed to wimp out.

Well that sucks. I wanted to try out my friends' before I decided if I wanted one. EB Games also isn't doing any bundle with RE:R, right?
I can't agree with that at all. As soon as one enters an area that isn't a small corridor, the framerate gets pretty low. It's not gamebreakingly bad, but it definitely is far from "stable and very smooth".
The worst part so far has been the beginning of Episode 3. The game runs pretty much never fluently during that scene.
I agree with you. Played the game after what I wrote above there and figured in the meantime that its definitely there and that I simply didnt notice it before. Well too bad for people allergic on that then.

I never experience frame rate stutter during combat though, only the moment I enter huge rooms. Not saying, it doesn't happen. It's just that it didn't had a huge impact on my enjoyment so far and I'm sensitive to such things.

I'm really impressed with Raid Mode. Especially like being able to fight the bosses together!

Yeah but that's just loading and doesn't get in the way of gameplay. I'm fine with that tbh.

Yeah, entering a room???
I couldn't give a shit.
If it's during combat, that really sucks.
No framerate problems bothered me in the demo even if they existed but the final game could be worse I suppose.

Yeah, they really spoil a lot of things!
Finished chapter 2 yesterday, and still think the game is fantastic.
Also, I've made a choice: no more Circle Pad for me. It's probably nostalgia combined with my aversion to dual analog shooters, but I prefer the "regular" controls.
Two reasons:
- I don't like strafing. When I press left on the left slidepad my character runs sideways and doesn't turn. I'd prefer them to control with the left slidepad alone, while I look around with the right slidepad.
- Quite simply, I am not good at aiming with the right slidepad. With the left I feel in control.
Am I the only one choosing the "regular" controls?
Anyway, still don't regret getting the circle pad extension, I am sure I will need it one day. (Kid Icarus maybe)

Absolutely not, it feels wrong playing with anything except type A to me.
Also I'm not sure KI use the dual stick in the way you think...
I know it's only supposed to be for lefties, but we'll see. Maybe they'll include more options (for the ground sections). As an alternative, I could have mentioned Luigi's Mansion 2, where I simply hope for Gamecube controls.
Glad I am not the only one sticking to type A!

Wow, this is much better than the demo. Also, I really dug how the demo area in the actual game plays out much differently.
So far I'm very surprised at how immersive the whole thing is. I didn't think mixing one big persistent environment with low-ish ammo/weapons and cutaways to action scenes would actually work, but the pacing here has been superb.
I'm up to the chapter three boss, and so far this seems like a pretty damn good Resident Evil game, which is exciting, because I was expecting something that felt very "developed by a B-team".
I've flipped between using the CPP and regular controls, and while I don't like the extra bulk the CPP adds, it's hard to turn down the much superior dual-analogue style.
Any tips for th chapter three boss? It keeps one-shotting me out of nowhere. I've been laying so many bullets and explosions into him, but he just keeps coming and inevitably corners and kills me.
Very disjointed thoughts here, but so far I'm really enjoying myself.

I've been finding that my hands cramp more with the CCP than they do without it. My three fingers that aren't engaged by the pad are left at really weird, uncomfortable positions.

I kinda figured the first part that it was her, but watching the review confirmed this...
@Rez , I find the CPP very comfy..

Have you tried CPP and Gyro aiming?
Mhm.
And her only quote is "I fouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuund yoooooooou."
And "Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooou're miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine."
And "Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooou're miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine."
Nope, not yet. I'll give it a try tonight. Thanks for the suggestion.

I would suggest Mercenaries 3D. It does some things better than raid mode (combos, Levelling up your perks, Melee attacks, character differences, "on the run-feeling"). Some things worse (no enemy health meters, general variety).
Plus it should be pretty cheap in some places. Just don't buy used.

what :Motorbass said. If you're enjoying this, get Mercs 3D. I put over 30 hours into it and haven't even played all stages yet. A lot of replay value and fun online coop even with strangers.

You can search for both in matchmaking.

I think my problem with the CPP is that I tense up during action sequences and strain my pinky, weirdly.
The first boss was surprisingly tough. Bet him, finally.
Raid Mode is fucking rad.

no typewriters, checkpoints? fuck this.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I just watched the GT review. If there is really auto-save at checkpoints and only one save at a time, it's a 0/10 for me.

I just had a super fun, half-hour long raid session with a ridiculously overpowered guy, and I have no way of adding him as a friend. That sucks.
