Resident Evil Revelations coming to 360, PS3, Wii U and PC May 21, 2013

Resident Evil Revelations confirmed for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

Yes! SMart move cappy!

[Kalowest]

For some reason I still want to buy this for 3DS, it's only $20 now.

[Akuma-]

nice to see the wii u actually getting games that are good on the horizon.

i cant wait for the ps4

[Irishguy95]

Get good controls on the Consoles/PC though

[AsimLeonheart]

Great news! I look forward to playing this proper survival horror game. It looks like CAPCOM is testing the waters with this game if they should be returning to the roots for RE7.

[Reibooi]

sweet. I'll be keeping my eye on the PC version and if they give it the proper attention I'll pick it up. I thought the 3DS version was pretty good and was only lacking in a good surround sound experience(a nice set up can always add to a survival horror game) so it will be nice to give it another shot.

[Old McGroin]

@ AsimLeonheart

My thoughts exactly. Didn't buy Resident Evil 6 because of the deserved negativity (I know it's deserved because I borrowed it off my brother) but this looks interesting. I hope it sells well and Capcom bring it back to it's roots for the next game. I'd love a proper reboot of the Resident Evil series, keep the same background story but introduce all new characters with their own stories in a real survival horror game.

[Mounce]

I'd of honestly liked if it were going on PS Vita too :( It'd give another game for its library to boast and like, the transition from Handheld to Handheld wouldn't be that harsh...

The only problem I will foresee is that they do a real shitty porting job from 3DS to the consoles and it ends up a mess like the RE4 HD Remake port attempt where modders from Years ago had done a better job than Capcom themselves.

[Murad]

Actually, I feel the exact same way. The game doesn't seem like it's fit for consoles, you know? Specially the 3D effects and everything added was specifically built for the 3DS. I wonder how this is going to turn out.

[dark-hollow]

Yeah defiantly. IMHO for anyone who hasn't tried revelations yet, I say its true to RE roots and much better in that way than RE 5 or 6. Its going to be amazing in HD!!!

[EddieNX]

Excellent news for Wiiu owners and passionate 360 and ps3 only players who missed out on this fantastic 3DS game.

Hopefully they have put in a years worth of new textures , lighting , etc etc , because allthough this is a cutting edge handheld game it still falls way short of HD console/PC standards....

This game has a slightly stupid story , but I kinda like that. Its the spiritual sequel to Resi 4 and play just like that game.

I would honestly give the 3DS version a 9.5/10 . It's not often you get a handheld game that stands out like that Resi Rev , and the game has a 20 hour story and excellent online modes that with the right graphical improvements will make a seamless transition to consoles.

I will have my 3DS version for on the go Raid mode , and the wiiu version for an even more graphically intense version ! :)

[Venoxn4g]

you are right mate, its really much better and all versions should be great, I personally love 3DS version.. therefore its more survival horror than emm.. new RE titles :)

[miyamoto]

Graphics alone tells me 3DS is many times better than my PS3's RE: Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles port!

I choose my Capcom game purchase wisely.

I support their Japanese side. The westernized crap I don't.

Definitely a must buy on PSN to complete my RE collection

[Kurt Russell]

Great news. Cheers for explaining... I saw the title and thought "so errrm... is this meant to be a good resi or something?" You clarified :D

I don't do hand helds... so don't follow what's on them.

[DigitalAnalog]

Considering it was originally a "handheld" title. I was expecting it to at least make it to the Vita. Although it seems CAPCOM is clearly steering away from the device as proven with the MH track record.

[Eyeco]

I'm amazed that its not on the Vita as well,it makes no sense as to why its not comming to that platform, its a good thing you mentioned MH because it also reminded me of Resident Evil PSP, remember that game what happened to it ?

[adorie]

Cashing in on a 3DS title? there better be either a significant overhaul or the price better be 20 bucks across all platforms,because this seems stupid.

XBL/PSN release would be the best way to go, I guess Also, will this mean the 3DS version will get a price hike because of this too?

[fatstarr]

Milk Milk milk

*cough* Nintendo saves capcoms ass again
First Re4
then revelations; it better than re6 and the other game they released.

hopefully now the 3DS will get some credit in terms of graphics and capabilities.

[miyamoto]

I loved the Old Capcom. They had great power and great responsibility back in the days. So did Konami. They wanted an even playing field. No bias.

The Old Capcom & Nintendo partnerships were made to prevent Sony PlayStation's 2nd over domination and monopoly of the games industry with the PS2.

I did not know why they ported RE4 and the Capcom 5 games to PS2 but history tells us the exclusivity partnership did not work out as they planned.
Same thing happened with Konami.

Now they are trying it again with MonHun series.

[PirateThom]

Wait... what?

So, Capcom having to port a 3DS game to other platforms in Nintendo saving Capcom?

What?

[fatstarr]

@PirateThom

RE4, the RE series was stale in gen 7 and capcom did a test reboot with RE4 and put it on the gamecube, because if it flopped it could be swept under the carpet.

RE4 Engine became the base engine for almost all of the RE games since, RE5, RE6 , OPRC.

[SegataShanshiro]

LOL at the guys in the post saying "typical RE stuff" the typical for RE games are now steriod filled gorillas punching giant ricks....and no split screen = no buy....probable gonna wait for the Super Hd -remix championship -director's cut- dual shock edition survivor- goldsileverplatinum -heroes never die-"sorry we cancelled megaman legends 3" edition

[n4f]

LMAFOOO

[showtimefolks]

RE6 is a mess so hopefully this makes up for what we went through with RE6, i also hope this sells well so capcom finally realizes that RE as a horror series can exist.

maybe that's what they need one RE series which is developed to be for action adventure fans and another original RE team working on their vision for what Re series should actually be

i don't think we will ever SEE another RE game like RE1-2 but something along the lines of 4-5 is what we will get most of the times

[Sevir]

:-) I wonder is this just hi rezzed or redone on the MT Framework 3.

[NYC_Gamer]

Why isn't Resident Evil Revelations coming to PSV?

[tehpees3]

Probably because Capcom hate Vita?

I thought it was obvious. They won't give the key franchise that put PSP on the map (in Japan) for three years so they (very sadly) wouldn't waste their time here.

[smashman98]

Except capcom threw mvc 3 and sfxt on there but yea we all forgot about those just because

[rainslacker]

@smash

2 fighting games against their entire library of IP's is hardly what I'd call support.

Maybe they're making games for it, but just haven't been announced yet. I'm sure they won't ignore the device over the long term.

[smashman98]

@ rain slacker

People tend to forget vita is only a little over a year old in Japan
2 games in one year is support. Plus its up to Sony to actively seek support and give companies a reason to support as of right now the payout for supporting the vita isn't that great

[rainslacker]

@smash

Your right on your 2nd point, however both those games were quick ports. Both came out right around launch time. After a year there should be at least some rumors about new games they may be bringing for it.

Like I said, 2 games isn't support, it's quick cash-in on new buyers that have less to choose from on a new system. Not really that much different than some of the Wii U's launch line up.

[vikingland1]

Yeah,whats that about? It would be a must buy for me.

[contradictory]

yeah, me too!

[NovusTerminus]

Good question... This makes no sense!

[fatstarr]

why waste money,
its a 3DS exclusive and its exclusive to the 3DS on the handheld front

the vita is so powerful it should have its own re spin off game not a port from its "inferior competition"

[Neonridr]

the "inferior competition" that is outselling it like 20:1 you mean?

[pecorre]

$50 ??? I'll wait for a price drop (I already own it on the 3DS anyway...).

[dgonza40]

Yeah, it's too steep for me right now. If it would've launched at $40 or $30 I would've considered it a bit more

[Plagasx]

And here I was so pissed that I sold my 3DS without finishing REvelations.

and coming to PC as well? HELL YES!

[Trago1337]

PC? F*CK YEAH!

[maddfoxx]

I didn't have a 3DS and really wanted to play this game. Such great news. Wish they would have put it on the vita. The vita is really promising, but it seems no one wants to develop for it.

[tigertron]

I wonder if we'll see any subtle changes i.e. improvements to the graphics, tweaked gameplay mechanics, etc?

I hope they release it in disc form...

[CaptainYesterday]

It will be released on disc also digital download with HD graphics and lighting.

[r21]

Yeah, not surprised that vita is the only platform not getting it. Its Capcom after all :L

[Yodagamer]

Tbh very few third parties are giving titles to the vita. It's not just capcom :P

[Froakie]

I loved this on 3DS so I can't wait to play with decent controls!
@Disagrees Wait,I didn't like this on 3DS? I thought I did...

[DrJones]

You disliked the controls on the 3ds version. That's what they disagreed with.

[Braid]

Boy have this news made my day.

Revelations was the only reason I wanted to buy a 3DS, and now I can play it on my PC in its full glory. Hell friggin' yeah to that. And better yet, it's going to be available sooner than I expected.

Today my friends is a good day in gaming.

[vanethe]

i played this on my 3ds , it';s the most played game on it , it's very good , but i wont buy it 2nd time

[deadfrag]

$50 for an HD revision?GTFO!

[Kalowest]

Wasn't MGS:HDC the same price?

[Heisenburger]

The MGS Collection comes with THREE games, but yes, it cost the same.

[8bitHero]

im pretty sure it was $40, besides even if it was $50 that one came with 3 games.

[TUGA]

Actually the MGS collection comes with 5 games.

[Kalowest]

To my disagrees to was $50 and yes to comes with 4-5 MGS games. Lol, I was just being lazy and didn't fell like fixing my comment.

[GusBricker]

How many hours did it clock in at?

[CaptainYesterday]

About 12 hours for me on "Hell Mode" difficulty I think its called not including the extras.

[deafdani]

It's been a while for me, but I think my playthrough went around 20 hours in Normal mode. I think CaptainYesterday forgot that, in order to unlock Hell Mode, you need to finish it in Normal first. So, it can't have taken him only 12 hours... it must've been 12 hours PLUS whatever hours it took him to finish the game in normal difficulty.

Basically: don't worry. Revelations has quite a lot of content to it, and that's not mentioning the multiplayer online play. And this HD port seems to have more content, so you will have game to play for some time. :P

[smashman98]

Re read the comment he said it took him 12 hours on hell mode he didn't say it was his first playthrough

[sitharrefus]

But does it have online co-op?

[DarkBlood]

only the raid mode thing does

[DarkBlood]

awsome got it on the 3DS i'll be getting it for the big screen on the ps3 or wiiu day one

[Neo-Axl]

That price for a HD edition, think I'll wait for the price to die down.

[FrostyZipper]

The last good Resident Evil game

[nintendojunkie28]

This is awesome news! I'll be getting the Wii U version,but I'm glad to see that all the major consoles are getting some love.

[ayabrea93]

the best resident evil since 4 and the REmake, I'll gladly play it again.

[SAE]

The only version that would make me buy this game is vita . hope you guys have fun . hd collections or stuff like that only interesting in vita . im not excited to play ps2 games on ps3 but i am on vita . same with ps1 or anything like that ..

[JohnApocalypse]

Hells Yeah. Love me some TPS RE

[banjadude]

I'm having trouble loading the page, but in case it wasn't mentioned there, this game is only doing a DIGITAL release.

[ssb3173]

No, its going to have physical discs for all 3 consoles and PC aswell as a digital release. The digital release will be on PC and PS3 on launch day with WiiU and Xbox following soon after. Hope this helps :)

Edit: Coming out May 24 EU and May 21 US

[banjadude]

Hmmm, I read on electronic.uk (I forget the exact website name) that it was only digital. Hmmm, maybe they meant only for EU.

Sorry for the mistake. I'm super glad it's coming on disc, though (my preferred choice). :)

[imt558]

This is it. This is the Resident Evil i want, not the RE5 or RE6.

[TronEOL]

I'd buy it for sure if it were on the Vita. But I suppose I'll settle for the PC version.

[landog]

hopefully they include Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D as well to sweeten the deal, then i would consider it, pc version will probably be $10 less too

[DivineAssault]

i beat it on 3DS & it was a great game.. It not going to vita is some BS.. Im not rebuying this game until PS Plus puts it for free.. Matter of fact, capcom can $uck it.. Not buying it because of stupidity like this & then slapping a $50 price tag on top of it

[axisofweevils]

This game is too mature for Vita owners.

[Prodigy-X]

GTFO

[MuhammadJA]

I want it for the Vita. Stupid Crapcom, it looks like I'll get it for the PC to hack the **** out of it.

[ado908]

Honestly my only main reason to buy the 3DS was to buy this game and Kid Icarus. Don't really need to now for one game.

[stuntman_mike]

I'm disappointed I was expecting something new (then again it is Capcom who likes to reboot their games to death). at least the controls will be better on consoles.

[CatXFlash]

Why cry? this is a real Resident Evil game finally on consoles. Save the tears for DLC and on disc DLC ..just my advice do do as you want.

[stuntman_mike]

nothing to cry over they could have put thier resources to something new and fresh so do do as you want :)

[Treian]

awesome. A true RE game!

[younghavok]

The Vita is the Wii of the handheld world so dont expect too many ports for them outside of what sony does. As for this game, I owned it on the 3ds and enjoyed it quite a bit, I'll definitely be adding it to my Wii U collection as well. Capcom is really giving Nintendo alot of love as of late. Its like the PS2,GC,Xbox era all over again.

[007Bond]

Please have split screen coop!

[CatXFlash]

Capcom (have not used that name in a long time have been using crapcom for very long) Finally makes a right move? ..wow... is there a catch? DLC per pixel maybe haha!! we have to pay per polygon? xD come on Capcom is this trailer real? hehe anyways all joking aside expect this game to sell like hot cakes its a true survival horror game finally.

[Bronxs15]

To be honest with every one. I bought my 3ds for revelations. But support Mario land 3d quickly became my favorite game much better than revelations. That's to those who say there isn't much reason to get a 3ds.

Revelations was OK. I beat the game already it was fun. I'm a fan of true survival horror and preferred the earlier resident evil games over 5 and 6. That being said if you have a Wii u zombie u is a much better game.

[younghavok]

agreed. In the world of Survival Horror on consoles right now Zombi U is king. But for those who want more Revalations will be a good suplement

[2pacalypsenow]

I miss the old RE with the old mechanics RE0

[MooseyXTC]

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS
The real RE6 is coming!

[Subzero200]

the game is ok, but the story really sucks....no real zombies.

[Qrphe]

When was the last time we had actual zombies in a RE game?

I forget

[sitharrefus]

Code Veronica if your following the timeline :p

[Treian]

if you read the lore, they are a variation of the t virus

[Max-Zorin]

Resident Evil don't even revolve around zombies.

[Deku-Johnny]

Doubt I'll buy it since I own the 3DS version, I can't imagine it'll look or be much better on the other platforms but it's good for those who never got to play it. I recommend it to everyone, it's a brilliant game and probably the best survival horror in a long time, definitely the best Resi game since 2005.

[ShaunCameron]

So much for a Wii U-exclusive RE game, but this will do.

[boybato]

when Capcom says:

http://n4g.com/news/1147301...

porting Revelations is what they meant. :<

[Doctor_Freeman]

Loved Revelations on the 3DS, one of the best handheld games I've ever played. I'll be keeping on eye on this.

[JallaJunS]

I have a 3DS but never really felt like buying this for it. But now that it's coming for the Wii U I have to play it.
