Topic: 3DS Resident Evil: Revelations

i pre-order RE:R ages ago and you know what? the dam postman hasn't delivered it...

Mine arrived today.
Was very dissapointed that Zavvi didnt manage to get it to me on launch date unlike most of the other suppliers, but glad I got the exclusive package because the packaging itself was fantastic. Tried the game with and without the new contoller and I prefer playing Resi Evil Revations without... but not because I dislike the new controller but instead because I have gotten used to the standard controls as they are the same as ResiEvil: Mercaneries.
The controller is of a nice build, its comfortable, sturdy and in no way as big as what you expect. If I hadnt got used to the Mercs control system I would be more than happy using it. Looking forward to trying it with Monster Hunter an MGS because I imagine it will be similar to using the Classic Controller Pro on the wii. I even sized them up side by side etc and I find the attachment isnt any bigger if not ever so smaller than the CCPro. I wish there was a way to set controls on some of the older games such as Splinter Cell 3D as it would be so much better with the new controller.
The game itself is as good if not better than expected and I like the episodic format because it makes it so you can fit the game around your life rather than the other way around and it is one of the most visually slick games on the 3DS I have played. I would definetly recommend it to anyone unsure about buying it, and as far as the controller its definetly worth trying out.

...Zavvi on the other hand, I wouldnt recommend.

Is anyone else suffering with really bad glitching in the lifts with this game. heres hoping for a patch

If you mean low framerate, then yes, but that is because it is loading new "levels" into memory while you take the elevators. Not really a bug.

On a side note; I just played a co-op session in Raid mode. I absolutely enjoyed it, and I think in some of the later raid-levels you do need another player to get S rank. It becomes VERY intense.

i cant wait to play raid mode i thought you had to complete the single player mode to unlock it though

its more than low frame rate the sound stops and it gets ridiculously jerky

You do not have to complete the single player, only parts of it. New stages will be added to raid-mode has you progress.

Lucky guys to received today!!! You're in europe, don't you?

how do you unlock raid mode? i am only on the 4th chapter!!!!

On the title screen you need to go into your missions. Missions are like achievments that you unlock during the Campaign and get rewards but you dont get rewards automatically you need to claim them. Once your in the Mission menu you will see some boxes with yellow exclamation marks, these are missions you can complete. Looks for the "Complete episodes 1 to 3" and you will unlock the first seven stages of Raid Mode with three characters unlocked (Jill, Chris and Parker) you can unlock additional raid levels and characters by completing more of these missions.

...hope that helps

HOW DID YOU GUYS GET IT ALREADY? I WANT THE GAME TOO!!!!!!!

Game came out in Europe on the 27th... although because I bought the exclusive Zavvi package I didnt get mine until the 28th.
Zavvi is well known for ontime deliveries, im suprised I only got it a day late was expecting it to be a week late.

Oh, my.

I just finished chapter three (earning the riot mode in the process).

I picked up a magnum revolver, and look forward to testing it out in Raid mode soon.

But not today - my eyes are tired after playing through this tense chapter.

Also, damn you, Capcom for providing shop items in raid that use step coins! I'll never progress in Streetpass Quest now!

No not play coins again! I'm with you ill never finish find mii now!

... thats why i racked up my play coins when i first got the 3ds... i finished the streetpass games in a matter of days and my coins have been sitting there, maxed out... finally, a use for all of them... XD

On one hand, Tech101, special items require a full complement of 10 play coins, but the rest can be bought with BP, which are awarded after completing a story chapter or, presumably, a Raid mode run.

My magnum revolver took most of the BP I had earned up to that point, but hey - it's a magnum revolver!

^aside - I can't belive I spelt Magnum wrong three times today...^

Thanks for that info edhe. I've got around 100 play coins at the moment and vowed to only play when I get a street pass. There are so many hats to collect now I feel it might take me forever. They really expanded the street pass puzzles and games to last forever now but that's not a bad thing. I should have plentu of coins when the time comes. I've still got just over a week.

Can you join a raid mode from the friends list like Mario kart? I've been wondering if anyone has tried that yet!

Raid Mode Vs. Mercenaries -
Didnt want to start another topic for fear of it being closed and directed to here, but this is how I see it. Revaltions Raid mode and the stand alone Resident Evil Mercs are two entirely different games. i know there have been some people who had been put off getting Mercs when Raid mode was announced and probably some people who sold on their copy of Mercs because they imagined that they didnt need it with Revelations having a similar mode.
Raid mode is a short two player co-op mission based on locations that you complete during the Campaign mode with RPG elements and is generally slower paced and claustrophobic compared to Mercs. Your score is for completing objectives, taking as little damage as possible and generally how well you work as a team and although time affects score you do not have a alloted time to complete mission.
Mercenaries is an all out action, arcade time based kill as many baddies as you can with set weapon sets, great Melee attacks and add on skill sets that dont nesseraly make sense like the ability to make lightining charges etc. Basically a whole lot of fun but not very deep.

So basically if you like Revaltions and decided to miss out on Mercs, its still worth picking up and im sure you can get it really cheap now. Now I have played both I am glad I kept my copy of Mercs. Together they make a great Resident Evil package which I am sure Capcom being the way they are will probably release in the near future.

This game is amazing... just finished Chapter 6 but I think I've missed a chance for some exploration... noooo!

I know what you mean. Now I know some of the twists etc. I wouldnt mind replaying some of the Story Mode over again incase I missed something.

did anyone beat the game yet? is there infinite ammo?
