Resident Evil Revelations

[News Bot]

The 3DS's actual 3D feature is utterly worthless. The game looks much worse (jaggies all up in that bitch) and the slightest movement or blink causes ghosting.

Will be playing the game in 2D myself.

I don't know what you guys are doing to seriously fuck the 3D effect, by I don't seem to have a problem with it in this game (demo).

The effect is barely noticeable in the sense that its not very distracting. Nor do I need to stand still either to keep it going without ghosting or losing the effect. Are you guys holding the 3DS too near or too far away?

I only play this sucker sitting down. Freakin 3D effect looks good in my machine. Whenever I move around the effect is still there. Unless I move my head really far from the screen to one side. Then the 3D effect goes to shit. Something that I wouldn't actually do while playing unless I was one of those n00bs that moves to the sides when playing games (because they think moving like that helps them move the character/vehicle in the game... LOL).

Adding the 3D effect does kill the Anti-aliasing effect, though. But it doesn't really hurt the graphics. Not at all.

No I generally don't have any issues, just on the very strong setting shows up a bit wierd to my right eye - could be my eyesite more than anything.

Just gave Hell mode a try - some nice suprises and a couple of nifty changes. The sub machine gun is pretty powerful in this compared to past games. I'm curious as to what the % does when you scan monsters, it seems to count to 100%, flash then reset?

Once you get 100% you get a Herb and then the scanner resets to zero and you can scan monsters again and it repeats.

I never set the 3D to maximum in any 3DS game or even while using the built-in features/software. It's overkill, IMO. I always move the switch half way up or just enough to see things in 3D. And that has worked beautifully on my side of things while playing any game (including this demo) on the 3DS.

EDIT: I think you got your answer.

Be careful with the main game, though. According to one source, the more you scan one type of enemy, the more you need to scan enemies to get the same amount of health, making it harder to get health that way. It's probably a safeguard to prevent people from abusing the feature, so the game doesn't become too easy.

This is what I do now, and I don't have any issues. I just wanted to see what it was like cranked up to 11. I'm never doing that again.

[Dracarys]

I have no issues with the 3D effects, though I will not sit for extended periods playing in 3D.

[Canas Renvall]

I guess I'm really used to the feature, because I had that shit cranked up to full with Very Strong and I had no issue with it.

Like someone said though, it's like someone opened a portal into my 3DS. Or maybe even a porthole. You know, to keep with the ship analogy.

I was just wondering if anyone has ordered from the Zavvi website before? I preordered the Revelations & Circle Pro bundle and just wondering when I could expect it to be shipped? Cheers

[TheBatMan]

Never used them before personally but I heard from a few people that it will not ship until the day of release so you may not get it until Mon 30th. I pre-ordered from shopto.net as they sometimes ship early and if you are lucky it will arrive on thursday.

But it depends how desperate you are for the circlepad.

[nicksena17]

yea it was metroid prime and i was able to do a melee on an enemy by dodging him and doing that reverse kick which i found pretty cool and i think the 3d option for putting it on strongest is just to much i get a headache from playing that damn thing for even a few minutes that will be a challenge playing it in max 3d and i cant wait until im able to do a speed run on this game

I've ordered a few things, they are totally random when they ship. I've had games arrive 3 days before release, some games haven't even shipped until the Monday after (Friday) release.

I hate them for pre-orders personally due to not being consistant, only ever use them for cheap prices and exclusives. I'll sometimes be willing to pay more elsewhere if I don't wanna risk a late shipment but in Revelations case it is exclusive so no choice.

Thank you. I'll set myself up to not receive on release day so as not to be too disappointed! Im off work Monday actually so i'll be hoping I'll receive it by then at least. Cheers again.

Could always do my back-up plan, if the game ships late go buy it from somehere on release day that accepts returns, then when the zavvi copy arrives keep the CPP and take the sealed copy of Revelations to the shop for a full refund, tell them you got it as a birthday gift same day you bought it or whatever excuse.
