3DS has already produced some pretty stellar-looking games, but Capcom is already heading for the graphical high ground with next year's Resident Evil: Revelations, with producer Masachika Kawata confident it'll be among the best looking games on the system.
Citing recent release Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D as a current high watermark for 3DS graphical quality, Kawata is confident Capcom will be able to wow users next year with the original adventure.
The graphics on Mercenaries are some of the best you can see at the moment. We've been working really hard though to make sure that when Revelations comes out next year, that will really blow people away graphically.
There's already an impressive-looking demo on the Resident Evil: Mercenaries cartridge, not to mention a 3D trailer available in the eShop. Will Capcom succeed in blowing away players and the competition? Only time will tell.

Really now , lets see if they don't disappoint.
It didn't look fantastic in the E3 3D trailer on my 3DS. Perhaps it was an early build?
well the graphics look great so far in the demo in mercinaries 3d, however not mind blowing, yet!
Just don't screw up the gameplay there, Capcom.
And make it scary. For once.
Didn't look all that "mind-blowing" in the trailer; I deleted it after seeing it once...
The shadowing in this image is poorly done, but it will probably be improved.
this game so far is definitely on my must wanted games coming out later.
The graphics looked good in the trailer, but I wish I could say the same for the gameplay.
I thought the E3 trailer was one of the worst trailers I've ever seen.Seriously where was the action?!! As for the graphics I didn't think they looked as good as Resi4 on GC so I can't say I was blown away really.
I just hope it turns out to be a good game.
The Demo wasn't very impressive. Seriously, considering 3DS' limited resolution, not enough power for AA and/or 60 fps with full 3D, 3DS games can never be look crisp and "mind-blowing". I wonder what developers could achieve with the 3DS if they don't implement 3D support on the fly or no 3D at all.
One of the few games I would want a 3DS for.
Okay, but what about the frame rate?
I seen better Graphics on the PSone
Capcom is hyping up their next game to take away media attention from the one save fiasco. Nice one Capcom, I'm on to you.
Resident Evil: Revelations Graphics "Will Blow You Away"
Yeah... so?! That's all well and good, but does it play well? Guess we'll see...
To all commenting on the trailer, I think the trailers don't apply the FULL 3d effect. Every trailer has really weak 3D yet despite the Ocarina Of Time trailer being really weak in 3D the game is not, i expect the others will follow the same pattern as I doubt Nintendo would release their games with such weak 3D that is honestly completely un-noticeable, and you wouldn't know it was 3D if you didn't have the little depth slider on the side.
Didn't the game just come out?

Oh wait...
Mercenaries was the best we've seen? Nono, they must change that frame rate for Revelations. The small demo I got with Mercenaries did seem to have better graphics that Mercenaries itself, so I wish to expect that same when it comes out.
Mercenaries looks nicer compared to some games on the 3DS and is rather nice gameplay wise. Revelations graphics on the pilot game look nicer, more crisp and better textured than Mercs though.
I think Mercs was just its playground for the 3DS to test the waters to see how far they can go with Revelations.
I gotta admit, Revelations looks sick so far. Capcom usually does a great job, so no need to worry. The storyline and gameplay seems intense, from what I've played from the demo (which is very short).
Mercenaries 3D has some pretty stunning graphics as well.
But these screenshots look almost similar to the Xbox 360 or PS3!
I can't wait for this game!
New murky browns, dull grays, and lackluster greens use to enhance the graphics!
Screenshots can't capture what the game will look like in play.
Lets hope the game isn't short. Lord knows thats all it takes to blueberry up an experience.
This RE game reminds me more of RE4 than 5. I'm crossing my fingers that the 3D makes the game even more scary!
I hope they won't make this one like RE4 and 5 because those lacked with both survival and horror
I hope Revelation doesn't have the framerate and other technical issues Mercenaries has (according to the reviews I saw).
is this game coming to Germany or just every other country in the EU??? Because the Trailer is not avaiable for germans... I would like to know if it blows me away... give me a chance Nintendo of Germany!!!
I hope they will use the 3DS hardware, as I know for a fact the recent games on it haven't maxed the potential of that system yet.
I would be more concerned about the game actually being any good considering the last few Resident Evil games were mediocre.
My mind was just blown away.
That's nice Kawata-san.
Now, will it actually be an enjoyabe RE game to play, or another annoying actiony garbage-fest like RE5?
Yes, i know people love and praise RE5. Personally, i thought it was a horrible horrible game which was horrible. With horribleness.
11. Luigi78--"Seriously where was the action?!!"-- I hope this was Satirical. RE should never be about the "action".
That's nice.
Make it a nice long 10ish hour campaign and I'll be happy.
@Aviator: I completely agree with you, I hope it has a really long and scary campaign. I'm craving a game like it.
Multiplayer would be cool too...
Well, I'm glad someone is trying to set a graphical benchmark on the 3DS.
You know what I find weird? Splinter Cell 3D, like Red Steel before it, proves that Unreal engine works on Nintendo hardware. Granted, in both cases it's Unreal 2.5 or Unreal 2X (I believe the current is 3.5), but that doesn't matter. I don't know why people like High Voltage waste time working on their own engine (Quantum3?) when they should grab Unreal 2.5 and mod new features into it for Nintendo hardware. Unreal has always been powerful and flexible. Granted, 3 spanks 2.5, but still.
Clearly, Capcom's MT Framework GDK is powerful, scalable stuff:) I hope to see them continue to use it on 3DS. Will Mega Man Legends 3 utilize it?
"The graphics on Mercenaries are some of the best you can see at the moment"
Please tell me they mean in comparison to only other 3DS games.
pardon my language but that is SUCH !
Resident Evil Merceneries is FAR from the best graphical game on the 3DS. OR even near it. the zombies get very chopy when 10 steps away, and the ones far away dont even more sometimes. plus it has this odd gradient look to the shaders. where as something like DOA3D, looks amazing! with really detailed graphics. Capcom your a disappointment. AGAIN.
I've noticed the trailers in the eshop are low quality...
The screenshots look REALLY good, in my opinion.
@Ryon
Whoa, whoa, whoa, there, buddy! Capcom isn't Sony! They aren't ignorant developers that think that graphics is what makes a game a game! What Capcom did was see how far they could rock the 3DS's engine! I own Mercs 3D, and yes, I know that the frame rate drops at a distance, but the Resident Evil Mercenaries is only a minigame, making a perfect reason/chance to test the 3DS! (Even with all of those problems, RE:M3D is still the best game out at the moment.)
I know Kawata said "best graphics", but don't you think he knows a later 3DS game will have better graphics anyway?
The diference between Mercs 3D and DOAD is that in Mercs you are running for your life around fully reanimated and active Mercs stages with 8 (actually 16) fully reanimated characters that have unique actions and 25 different weapons to combine with each. You also have multiple gameplay options and plenty of interactable objects on screen for the 3DS to handle. DOAD only handles 2 characters at once (and occasionally the addition of assistants) with a slightly interactive and active background, allowing a finer focus on the characters for a smoother look on them, the environments, and both their shadows. Yes, there are unique moves and everything for each character, but keep in mind: you preform all of these actions on one enemy. Not much to handle at once, there, meaning no lagging or aparent disappointment.
Please don't take offence to this response. All I wanted to do was point out that Capcom is not a disappointment (especially with their Resident Evil, Ace Attorney, and Ghost trick series, which are - in order - my favorite from Capcom).
Just a shame that i can't see the E3 trailer in 3D. It won't be available in the German eShop and i'm going to ask Nintendo why via e-mail. Maybe even today if i can find the time.
@LTD I feel your anger, same here, I wrote Nintendo a polite email last night. They always answered all my question. Go ahead and write them a mail
Anger is a bit overexaggerated. It's not as if these videos would be a major factor to decide if i should get a game or not.
I just want them to recognize that there are people who know what's going on in other countries and i'd like them to tell me about the reasons. What they make of it is their own decision.
@ All Germans that can't watch the trailer
Change your country to United Kingdom in the settings. It will create an English account for you when you log into the e-Shop, with which you can access the trailer then.
Don't worry, you don't lose anything you have on your German account, just don't forget to change the country setting back to Germany afterwards.
@LTD never said get or don't get the game, tell Ninty what u think about pre-censoring media for adults
If you blow people away they might never come back, then who will be left to buy your games.
i think there harking back to the 1st 3 games with a bit of puzzling aswell as action so that will extend play time im ready to get my mind blown its a date
Resident Evil 5 also looked incredible, and yet it was quite frankly one of the worst in the series. Resident Evil implies exploring a Residence or Residential areas, not Desert Wastelands under a soaking sun! And although i really like Resident Evil 4 as a game, it isn't Resident Evil in the true sense. It seems that Resident Evil 1-3 will never be surpassed. Capcom minus Shinji's original creativity equaled the Death of Resident Evil imo...
Revelations (demo, early build) looks awesome
easily surpasses every DS-, PSP- and PS2-games graphics
I'll rent it on gamefly before i buy it though. just in case .
3DS graphics are GameCube quality at best anyway.
How could this game not already be at the top of every 3DS owners list?
