New Resident Evil game: Resident Evil Revelations for Nintendo's new 3DS!

[Pikminister]

I like it but I definitely don't love it. First because it is for a portable console, I don't like portables and I don't want to buy one just to play one game. I am not a gamer, I don't have much time to dedicate to video games so when I have some free time I play RE games only. Second, I really don't believe this game is gonna be canon. If so, they must release to other platforms too, I don't think they would include a canon game in a portable console but well, we're talking about Capcom, we never know what they are thinking.
IF it is canon, it'll probably be a spin-off. I personally think it's the best option for this game, they should keep the main titles for main platforms.

Chris' clones, Jill pointing guns to them both... It's all very weird. I want to believe this guy is someone else. It could be Steve! It would be soooo nice... *_*

You're not a gamer? That may explain it.

Anyway, I'm not a portable/handheld gamer either, but what the 3DS is offering is just to damn good to ignore. Too damn freakin' good. So if what I saw from the 3DS turns out to be true and totally delivers, then I'll become a full-time handheld gamer. I see no problems with that at all. A gamer must go where the games go.

Regarding Revelations being canon or not because it's not available for other consoles... now that argument is silly. Resident Evil Zero was for a few years a GCN exclusive and that game's story is considered canon. Hell, the original RE games were for many years exclusive to one console (PS1).

I think it's too early to dismiss this game.

Me too, that's why I haven't dismissed the game.
Like I said, I just don't like portable consoles.


Just hope there are no clones in this game, and hope the horror elements are back just like in Lost In Nightmares. It was such a short chapter but I love it! *_*

More Resident Evil: Revelations impressions:

GAME INFORMER

The video showed Chris Redfield bound to a chair, apparently after receiving a rather brutal beating.

A woman is holding him at gunpoint while asking him all sorts of questions and making all kinds of threats.

Other images flash across the deep, 3D-enhanced screen picturing a ship, Chris and Jill in the Lost in Nightmares location, and what appears to be Hunk from RE 2 fame.

The video was quite short so I wasn't able to grab every detail. Fortunately what I can tell you is that the graphics look awesome.

The quality of this little handheld's picture is astounding, and the fact that the character models are nearly better than a PS2's is saying something.

I'm gonna be the first to put my head on the block and say it...

It's not Jill. I've more confidence in Capcom's development skills than to recreate Chris that well, but to fall so desperately short with Jill's model.

So yeah, anyone want to join me in thinking it isn't Jill?

Taking into account as well that isn't Jill now a blonde anyway?!

[A-J]

Well the fact that they specifically mention Jill in one sentence then say "some woman" in the other makes it hard to believe it's Jill. Maybe the camera angles were off on the shots ?

If that shot we've seen of the mansion environment is what they saw then it was from the back, could be the same model. They altered Claire's face some for Darkside, could be something similar here.

I KNOW, ITS LARA CROFT

I still think that everything is in Domitrix Jill mind. And thats why she doesnt look like herself. That can explain the BSAA outfit without the cap (i cant belive that it didnt fell off her head) and a longer shirt (OMG twist at the end when she sees the device)

What does everyone mean whey they keep saying "canon" im a little confused? I'm sure your not refering to the camera's lol.

Canon is a word that I guess you could compare to words such as "truth" and "fact" within a narrative/universe.

When people speak of canon in the context of fiction, it's usually about the subject of what are the continuing and established facts found in multiple entries in a same-setting/related/continuing narrative.

Although Resident Evil 1 doesn't let you save both Barry and Rebecca, it's still considered canon that both survived the mansion incident, regardless of whether or not you got either of them killed (or left Chris/Jill behind), as there is evidence in the sequels that seems to suggest they're all survivors of the mansion incident.

Wikipedia has a pretty okay article on the subject of canon + fiction

I just got home from work, and I'm seeing this for the first time. I'm not impressed. Where's Resident Evil Portable?

[Shadow Stalker]

Possibly its gone into either vaporwear territory, or Capcom Co., Ltd. just had a change of heart about which handheld console to use for developing the game on.

Could you really blame they, The Nintendo handhelds are always amazing and the PSP........not so much

[Pikminister]

In the new interview with Inafune, the issue about the 3DS being a powerful handheld came up. So it could've been a repeat of 2001 when Mikami selected the Cube over the PS2 to develop RE4.

Now they're comparing Jill to Joanna Dark!
