Resident Evil Revelations

[Dracarys]

I've heard rumours of a Damage 8 (+200%), but nothing concrete. If true, then it's a game changer. Right now all my guns have +5 parts and some Legendary parts, such as Reloader 2 and Burst 6. Burst 5 is perfect for handguns IMO. But Long Magazine 7 is a must in that case.

There is a part that removes the need to reload, better than extended mag, I use Parker's Government which holds 4 bullets and use a 5 shot burst, it fires 5 shots.

I only use a damage 3 upgrade though, I find lots of these but only one higher, that went to shotgun.

Playing Infernal difficulty first time around! Yeah! I'm a masochist!

I got to say, Chapter 1 has to be the hardest chapter of the whole thing...since you only have the pistol, unlike the demo where you have the MP5! Surprisingly, made it out without dying.

One thing Infernal difficulty encourages is to NOT kill ALL the enemies MOST OF THE TIME & get S-ranks since your grade is based solely on 'Accuracy', 'Deaths' & (Maybe) 'Time'.

Melee'ing is crucial! I've never did figure out on how to set up Melee attacks on the 3DS version, until I played the PS3 version on this insane difficulty....hit both arms until they start flailing to incapacitate an Ooze monster for a Melee attack.

Later on, after you get the Shotgun, start using upgrades & get more ammo...you can start being more trigger happy.


Also, I noticed 'Infernal' difficulty encourages you to play it on 'New Game+' because, if you don't, you'll be picking up a lot of ammo of weapons you don't get until Chapter 3 & 4....making Handgun ammo very scarce! Once you do pick up those weapons, the sense of power is GRAND!

Loving the sense of 'Survival'!

I did this too .. Really reminds me of earlier RE games - it only got a little easier after I got my first few upgrades for the pistol (your first item box) hehe

On chapter 5 now and just got the MP5 but keep dying against Racheal Grrr .. So hard LOL

This game was great imo, it would of been *perfect* had they used the normal jill and not changed her.

Oh please .. As long as the game plays good and they don't change her too drastically who gives a crap right?

Though saying that I hated how they changed Claire's shorts to blue denim and gave her cowboy boots in RESC hehe But she's my fave character so..

I've just finished it and I absolutely loved it, the whole game was just spot on from start to finish. The only problems were little glitches, for instance traveling in elevators or waiting for the ship wheel doors to open things became a little jumpy

Claire has never changed. Her voice is the same, look is the same. This is entirely different. Jill got a new voice, AND face.
She now looks Hispanic, and sounds dull. The first screenshots of this game back when it was shown in 2011, i had absolutely no idea it was jill until they said so.

FINALLY!

I killed Rachael in Chp 4, before she reached the cafeteria on 'Infernal' difficulty!

After several tries, and backtracking to get more MP5 ammo until I had max ammo to make her fall by constantly shooting at her legs. Had to use 5 well placed Grenades, 3 well placed B.O.W Decoys & 2 Pulse Grenades w/ 2 fully charged Melee attacks + Brass Knuckle 1 for an extra 200% Physical attack damage.

I refused to believe that it wasn't possible to take her down before the cafeteria with my current equipment in 'Infernal' difficulty without a New Game+ data....my perseverance paid off & managed to get an achievement/trophy!

My setup was:

MP5
- Damage 4
- Critical 1
- Long Magazine 5

Windham
- Damage 3
- Long Magazine 2
- Bind 1

M40A1
- Damage 2
- Long Magazine 1
- Fire Rate 2

One recommendation I can give is to keep shooting at her, even if she tries to escape for the vents....she can still be hurt and stopped. If she gets too hurt in one of the very early rooms, she might try to escape for the vents if she's not immediately right next to you in the next room or so, unless there's dialogue in the room....she won't even look for you. When you notice you've dealt far too much damage, stay as close as you can & shoot her as much as you can. Also, time your reloading...especially when she's down on the ground or stunned, you don't want to give her a chance to EVEN breath.

Now I can continue with my playthrough, as well as I didn't even use a herb on my successful run.

I allways thought that the fact that enemies don´t drop ammo or items reinforces the sense of survival a lot, because you need to evaluate if you kill enemies or just run from them because you are not going to be rewarded for every enemy you kill, just like in the old REs. Seriously I hope Capcom remove item/money/point drops for future RE games.

[ccrogers15]

Something off the top of my head, I think if they possibly make story DLC, they should def make one for rachael.

[TheOrganization]

There was a rumour going around a while back about DLC for Rachael, I think it's going to happen, she seems to have became quite a big character already. I just got the Rachael achievement on my second playthrough but I'm having trouble getting the ten headshots one now.
I agree about enemies not dropping ammo and supplies, it makes it so much more challenging to find it for yourself.

[DeadArtist]

So in theory I could play on Normal 3 times and then on inferno to have the best possible weapons? I'd really love to beat inferno , but I don't think it's gonna be that easy. The scagdead boss is insane, not to mention the final boss and I bet that if he hits you in inferno, that you have to immediatly use a herb before you die. Meh...

I do hope that Rachel gets a story DLC. It would be ashame not to enhance the game, especially if it is so enjoyable.

CAPCOM_UK twittered today that Revelations has reached number one... I'm guessing that counts for the UK.

[Lanzagranadas]

Actually you would need to beat Inferno three times to get the best upgrades for three of your weapons, since they can only be obtained on Inferno, but yes, if you mean the best upgrades from Normal to use them in Inferno you are right, however, it´s not necessarily three times, depending on what you consider "best upgrades", because some awesome custom pieces appear more than once in a single playthrough.

Speaking about Rachel, apparently she was meant to have a playable chapter (look at the Jessica´s Report for evidence) but that idea was scrapped at the end.

[REmaster]

This catolog issue needs to be fixed ASAP. Many people like myself can't play Raid mode online because they released the enhancement pack yet they didn't update the catalog data so it keeps sending you to the PSN store to download something that you already have. Hell I even bought the fucking enhancement pack just to see if it would work, no dice.

All the weapons were lvl.1 so I just stripped all the attachments like long mag 10, damage 5, etc. and put them on my lvl. 20 guns. Well, no fun playing Raid by myself so I guess it's back to that bloody Infernal :/

Well that doesn't seem to be of any value if one has already completed Inferno?

It really is too bad that they didn't add the Rachel chapter to the game since a trailer did show scenes of her death from (almost) her perspective. Would be cool if they would announce a bonus stage sometime soon.

Does anyone know if there is a special unlockable for casual mode? Or how can we unlock the crazy costumes (the pirate, the sailor and the other pirate)?

[TheOrganization]

I'm assuming the costumes are unlocked through playing raid mode, I've played it a little bit and seem to have unlocked an outfit for parker, no pirate or sailor yet though
