Topic: 3DS Resident Evil: Revelations

I haven't got my pre order from Zavvi yet either, but I kind of expected it. They're known for their awful delivery times. I always go with Shopto and get the game 3, or 2 days early. The reason I went with Zavvi was because of the CPP deal, that saved me like £10.

When did you 2 (Reverandjames & Raptor78) get your dispatch confirmation emails? I got mine yesterday, with a 2-3 day estimate. TBH I don't mid if if it comes on Saturday, but if it misses Saturday and I end up getting it on Monday I will be a bit cheesed off. I mean, 3 days late for a preorder that is (In Zavvi's exact words) Guaranteed for Release Day Delivery.

Ughh, really? A week? I think I'll just go into town and buy the game if it dosen't turn up tomorrow if that's the case.

@MiracleBlaze How did you review it on your blog? If it was a review copy, are you not allowed to keep review copies then?

Mine was the 25th so should really have expected it today, tommorow at latest. With the exceptions of this ALL my other pre-orders (not that I do it that often) arrive the day before release I gues they do this to ensure that even with any delays you still get it at launch otherwise I may have just gone and walked into town and bought it from one of the many stores that sell it. Damn Nintendo for doing the exclusive deal with the devil... I mean Zavvi.

I got my copy through the post (along with a circle pad pro, which I find completely unusable), and have played through the first episode.

I'm quite pleased with what I've played so far, and have so far learned not to aim for the monsters' heads, because, apart from being difficult to target (with their swaying), it's largely ineffective. I'm sure everyone who played the demo worked this out eventually, but it took a few minutes for me to cotton on.

Funnily enough, I wasn't expecting Parker to have an Italian accent. So I've already experienced my first Revelation.

I think most are allowed to keep the review copies, but I wasn't. Probably because my site isn't very well established, and I only get about 400 views a day, unlike most which have more like 200,000 views a day.

Did you play the demo? He had the Italian accent during that too, I thought you would have already noticed before getting the full copy of the game.

Personally I like the circle pad pro for this. Makes the game feel like dead space on a boat (dead boat? hmm maybe stick with the official title) Only just through the first episode myself but so far so good. I know there is some negative views to the monster-mabobs lack of reaction to being pumped full of lead but for me its a not been an issue and adds to the tension (nothing like backing into a wall not quite knowing if the damn things going to drop before it rips your throat out)

When playing the demo, I set the audio to Japanese, and only played up to the point where I got the Genesis scanner.

How do you set the audio to Japanese???

Options>Language.

You can set both text and audio to English, German, Italian, Spanish, French and Japanese.

As far as I'm aware, in the demo, you could only switch between English & Japanese.

It's too imprecise for me. If I'm able to alter the sensitivity, I may get on better with it, but the standard controls are good enough for me.

Also, I find it difficult to get used to the shape and feel. If you remember when Nintendolife reviewed the Circle Pad Pro, they said it's not as difficult as it looks, but I'm still not able to get the hang of it.

By the way, I ordered from GAME.

Got it and have been playing for quite some time. Love it thus far. Controls work great, though moving while aiming is a hassle (I did not buy the CPP). Other than that they're great.

And I have to say, the game looks freaking phenomenal with the 3D at 'Very High'. This and Mario 3D Land are definitely the best 3D games I've seen on the system thus far. Love the small details like crows flying away when you get to close, rats coming out of lockers etc.

Also, the game just looks great graphically overall. Great lightning, great effects etc. etc. Even the sound is spot on. I'm definitely liking it so far. I hope it'll continue at this rate.

Changing the aiming speed in the control options it effectively alters the CCP sensitivity as it affects not just the aiming but camera control as well.

@Reverandjames I pre-ordered through Zavvi and mine turned up today. Only ordered it about 2 weeks ago.

@penfold007 yeah i got mine today to, i will be using zavvi again if it had been play.com i would have not recieved it till wednesday probably i have never got anything from them on time.

@pinkspider lucky you I've had mine preordered since Xmas, really expecting it to turn up today and I got a big fat nothing!

I will not be happy if this is true. I almost payed mine off at gamestop for 49.99. They better adjust the price if that's the case or ill go elsewhere and get my money back!

@Tech101 yeah same here i already payed full price for it...i called to gamestops around my house and they said that the price is still 49.99 even though the website says differently

I hope amazon changes the price lol I already ordered from them.
