Cliff hanger? I assume these guys don't have the full version then. I can't see them doing a cliff hanger with a game where you already know the fate of the two main characters...and it would be a dick move to try.

CVG just posted a Resident Evil: Revelations hands-on preview (3 pages long)



* How 3D is used for scares:

The fact that Revelations scares us at all is a minor miracle. As former Nintendo handhelds will attest, it's hard to make a grown man jump with a four-inch screen. It's hard to take a tiny zombie seriously - you'd just flick their heads off, wouldn't you? 3DS benefits from the intense concentration needed to maintain the 3D sweet spot. Our eyes are drawn in for a closer look, setting us up for sudden spooks. And that tangible sense of distance between Jill's face and the mutant mouths comes into its own when the distance begins to shrink. We yelped several times

.

* About the Genesis scanner

Jill's day at the seaside also introduces the Genesis scanner. Point this sucker at a shambling horror and its zaps their DNA in order to manufacture vaccines - health potions, basically. Each monster contributes a chunk of data, though each breed contributes less with each subsequent scan. A convoluted way of earning health, yes, but as the difficulty begins to skyrocket you'll be guzzling those vials like a man possessed. This raises a cool risk/reward dilemma, too - do you risk scanning a charging mutated koi carp or do you put a bullet in it?

*The script:

Bringing renowned anime scripter Dai Sato on board (pardon the pun) results in a coherent yarn, with a juicy cliff-hanger to round out most episodes. And our playthrough ended on the mother of all twists...

*The conclusion:

From our latest hands-on, Revelations is shaping into the third-party game to beat in 2012

Not specifically Resident Evil related news, however CAPCOM have begun hiring to update their in-house MT Framework engine by 2013 to "extend the platforms supported". It's called "MT Framework Next Generation" right now, indicating that it's for next-gen consoles.

Oh? My bad but I do not see such a post on this thread nor do I see it on the news page. Maybe I overlooked it, so my bad.

Oh I see you posted it but when I clicked the link it says "404 - Not Found". That's why I posted it again. I tried searching their site but the video wouldn't load for me at all. Kept giving me an error.

On another note I found a viral marketing video for Revalations on Youtube. For sure this one has not been posted yet.

I'm glad that they're keeping the "Clone Chris/Chris tied up"-storyline, for a while people seemed to have been worrying that they might have scrapped this part of the story.

Sven from Capcom-Unity posted an update on the Resident Evil: Revelations demo:

A RE: Revelations demo for NA and Europe is coming.

In the case of NA, we're awaiting our date confirmation and code approval from NOA (we have a tentative from them, but I'll have to keep you in suspense).

When we have something more concrete to share, you won't be able to miss it on the Capcom-Unity blog.
