Resident Evil Revelations: first 3rd party game to use 25% more CPU power

Resident Evil Revelations is the first third party 3DS game to use 25% of power from 3DS's second CPU.

Use of power does not equate to better graphics, gameplay, or other result. As 'gamers' we should stop looking for how much power a game utilizes and instead look for how much the game actually does itself (textures, physics, lighting, ai, etc.).

disgaeapuchi4477d ago (Edited 4477d ago )

I agree with you there. These days graphics are so good that it'd be great if extra power were focused into improving AI, depending on the game of course (there are some games out there with great AI, similarly there are some games where less processing power has gone into AI)

TheBeast4477d ago

It allows for extra power...but it is in the devs mind to use or waste it...

ronin4life4477d ago

It doesn't have to just be AI either: there are so many aspects of game design thrown to the wayside to further pure graphical appearance.
It is nice to see people who agree with me on this. ^.^

To each his own. I can't wait for vita

If you hate 3DS so much why do comment on every article?
EDIT: LITERALLY almost EVERY 3DS article...

SpoonyRedMage4477d ago

I wouldn't jump to conclusions. Especially the thing about lack of friend list hurting matchmaking because even if it logs you out during single player it would log you in as soon as you go online.

Also before anyone tries to turn this into a slight against the 3DS Uncharted Golden Abyss disables network functionality on Vita too.

resistance1004477d ago

The Demo is OK and visuals are good. But the controls and camera annoyed me.

The second analogue stick it comes with on my pre-order and could fix that. But might just wait until its cheap

Optical_Matrix4477d ago

The demos visuals amazed me. To think that the 3DS was pushing those visuals. Of course, because of the 3DS' low res screen and 3D, the overall polish lacked ever so slightly but it was still great, a day one for me.

I think that's where Vita will have the advantage and I'd love to see what Revelations would look like on the system. More horse power and a beautiful OLED screen. Would do wonders for this game. Handheld gaming ain't going anywhere.

ronin4life4477d ago

To be honest, it upsets me to see people wanting good 3ds games ported to the vita.
Why can't we just accept each console for what it is and has on it individually? If you want this game, buy a 3ds.
I'm not accusing you of this as you appear genuinely curious as to the possible technical result of such a port. But this is a trend that has been bothering me for quite awhile.

Venoxn4g4477d ago

yes, you tell the truth, 3DS and Vita have to have individual exclusives, that there was a motivation to buy this one or this one.. why us, 3DS owners aren't crying that please port from Vita to 3DS? and if one day RE: revelations will be released to Vita, those kids will say "oh, how good it's on Vita, we don't need 3DS blah blah blah.." .. I would like a NEW resident evil on Vita exclusive, so I would like to buy Vita..

TruthbeTold4477d ago

Just played it. The game looks VERY good, and I love the classic RE atmosphere. However, the controls are not very good. Hard to maneuver and avoid being chomped on by enemies...

Venoxn4g4477d ago

actually I did like controls, because for me they were almost like on RE4.. oh and those who can't get used to those, there'll be an option = circle pad..

Steam Uproar as Capcom Slips In Restrictive DRM Software

From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"

LordoftheCritics87d ago

RIP

Capcom turning into Ubisoft.

Well success can have that effect.

just_looken87d ago

Yep this shows how bad a digital world is now well for the old titles new games disc or not the drm is there but you can get the old games on dvd then try to monkey the last pre drm update onto the game files.

I love GOG for this reason i saw that skyrim bs update so i know not to run that version as gog you can select what patch to download/install with capcom hopefully we get a list of the update numbers that add this horrific drm.

With denuvo as a alder lake pc user it still has issues with E cores and i remember when the servers were taken offline forcing hundreds of games to be paperweights.

It's also really annoying how they can cut or change content later, like the Skull Girls controversy, a decade later after the game came out, they decide to censor it. The game is a decade old, if it's not broken, leave it, adding DRM back into older games is BS.

just_looken87d ago

@final

Good point even major sp games got the cut after the fact be it last of us with maps/art or gta 5 removing stuff in the world.

Cyberpunk ps4 day one disc copy the sept build still has stuff the other versions no longer have.

With the gta 6 controversy right now i think back to the days of saints row creating a character beating up cops with a dildo bat and now we have elon crying over gta 6 guns killing cops i bet you if they made saints row 2 hd they would half to cut half the games content or go to jail lol also sad.

Was watching avatar last airbender 13yr old ang kissing katar again can not have that in a kids show or game now.

PRIMORDUS87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.

banger8887d ago

Let me guess, you have a vpn enabled. For your sake I hope it's not in any 5 Eyes territories.

PRIMORDUS87d ago

I have ExpressVPN but on Twitter I don't use it lol. For other things I use it :D

Barlos86d ago

Nice. I got a lifetime ban on Twitter back in 2020 for speaking my mind. Don't care tbh, I'm not really into social media. I don't even have a Facebook account.

PRIMORDUS86d ago

I'm still trying to get banned to lol I'll keep at it 🤣 I have FB but maybe log in once a month but yeah always speak your mind no matter how bad the words come out, do not hold back online or IRL. Fuck them shit bags lol.

got_dam87d ago

This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.

Chocoburger87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕

Darkegg86d ago

Drm punishes legit customers and encourage hackers. It’s the wrong way to go about it.

It's Time For Resident Evil's Most Unique Mode to Make a Comeback

With series staple Mercenaries Mode returning to the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it’s time to remind fans of another mostly forgotten mode from the RE series. Reaching the second chapter in the 2012 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations unlocked something called Raid Mode for players to enjoy. Unlike Mercenaries, Raid Mode is not a time-attack mode and instead operates as a more RPG-lite version of the main game. While players are expected to try and hammer down on a handful of levels in Mercenaries, Raid Mode gives players a much more expansive game type to play around with.

This mode was included in ports released on the seventh and eighth generations of consoles and was part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which was released in 2015. However, the Revelations duology is the only time that Raid Mode has existed in the massive Resident Evil franchise, and that should change in some future release.

I'd like to raid mode make a return in the future. When Capcom was hacked there was a as of yet announced RE game in there that I was hoping might turn into Revelations 3. There were also reports that whatever that RE game was scrapped and cancelled.
