Alright, hear me out guys. Let's take a semi traditional Resident Evil game, and have it take place on a boat. What's that? Capcom already did that 2 or 3 times? Well, what if we have Jill Valentine almost spilling out of a skin tight scuba suite???

This game was the glimmer of hope that capcom can tune the RE machine back to survival horror. Remember this is a HANDHELD for the underpowered 3ds. Mind blowing. Such a great game
yes! I'm still blown away at how much game there was, for a handheld production.
Chris going missing? well, color me surprised.
I hope this is not chrises blood 😂
One would think that by this point they have learned to email Leon BEFORE embarking on a quest to find him...
He’s our old partner y’know
That Chris. Always running off not telling anyone where he's going.
Someone should tie a bell to his collar.
Honestly, Revelations one of my favorite Resident Evil games, and I could never really put my finger as to why, but I feel as though recently I figured it out. You said that the enemy design is sorta samey, and while I can understand that, just having this theme of creatures from the ocean hits a sweet spot for me, not to mention it was one of the first RE games I played, downloading the demo on my 3DS when I was 16. When I played it on PC, I was blown away, and it was the first time I payed attention to the story in an RE game instead of just skipping past or ignoring all the story while eagerly waiting for the next enemy to show up. This game is what started my love for the series identity as a whole, and not just for the "shoot not-zombies, big set pieces and bosses, explosions!" gameplay of RE4 & 5, and for that, it has a special place in my heart.
And then Revelations 2 came along, and I heard you'd got to play as the glorious Mr. Jill Sandwich himself, and it made me love the series even more.
For me, Revelations 1 is my favorite because it really fleshes out the BSAA as an organization and makes it real. Also, the game has this whole cast of supporting characters through which we get different perspectives throughout the story. Plus, the game has the creepy mansion atmosphere you get from previous old RE games but on a cruise ship instead, making it different. Finally, this game has some ship tease and chemistry between Jill and Chris.
For me, Resident Evil’s story is a big part of what makes it fun. It’s totally over the top, with over the top heroes and villains, but that’s part of its charm.
Goddamn. This comment tho. Thumbs up.
I think the idea of deep sea mutants is good but I don't like the art style that makes them look like balloon animals or the designs that include organic weapons (like circular saws or spears and shields), imo they just look silly.
Rev 1 and 2 were the last time Capcom made a game that felt like RE. (not counting 2 and 3make, those are obv good but i tend to ignore remakes)
On this day, 20 years ago, September 10th 1998...
The Raccoon General Hospital admits patients suffering from a strange sickness. A doctor writes that the patients' skin is rotting, that they're losing their minds. He describes them as the living dead.
It would turn out he was right.
And now 21 years haha. What timing to stumble on this comment
Coronavirus🦠😱
22 now
Fail
September 10th: Haha today is when Resident Evil takes place!
The next day:
I'm surprised you didn't bring this up when you mentioned them, but, zombies were going to be in the game. If you go back to the original reveal trailer you can see zombies. Said trailer also had Chris and Jill pointing guns at each other other a guy whose tied to a chair. There's even a few shots of someone who looks like Hunk and maybe(?) ouroborous tentacles. People always talk about 1.5 or the various iterations of 4, but I really wanna know what Revelations story was originally going to be.
That would be crazy interesting to see! I would have loved to have found more info, but I struggled to get what little I was able to include. I might be a fanboy, but i think zombies would have improved this game for me. Not sure why, but they would just fit the setting better in my opinion.
@Nathan Miller ruclips.net/video/Es0xReoS2nA/видео.html
I hate to be "that guy", but the Ooze in Revelations are technically zombies.
@@BullworthGraduate true true. But...they don't bite chunks outta people they just use a big ol SUCC sucker and slurp blood outta people. Which is funny because the T virus is derived from Leech dna.
@@jakemontell.7415 I liked that detail with the Ooze with their big tube tongues. If you get a good look at it, you can see the teeth at the end of it. They're practically if not literally walking leech zombies, which I thought was more creative than, well, the actual leech zombies from Resident Evil 0.
Fun fact, re5 technically plays on 3ds, the mercenaries 3d was originally re5, but they stopped working on it, they still had a working demo so they just made it into a mercenaries stand alone
To be honest, I've probably put 10 times the hours of mercs mode in RE4 & RE5 than the story mode :/...
I would've loved to have seen re4 on 3ds. If it ran on ps2 it could run on 3ds.
SILENT HILL RETROSPECTIVE PLEASE
Done and done! I will definitely get an SH retrospective going one of these days. That's one of my all time favorite franchises.
@@AvalancheReviews - Glad to hear it!
i second the motion, i'm dying to see that next
I SECOND THIS IDEA!
Thirded!!!
I liked this one a good bit more than most of the modern RE titles but every time Raymond was on screen, I would snicker. That dude was completely unconvincing. I don't know what they were thinking with that guy's design. There was one cutscene where his face got "stuck" in its pain animation (I guess?). It was great!
He had anime hair.
Revelations 1 & 2 are SO underrated!
Jonathan Malfilâtre Right?! Revelations has been a great way to bring back characters that haven’t been seen in RE in a long time. Being able to play as Claire in Revelations 2 made me so happy. I hope that if they do make a Revelations 3, they bring back Rebecca because she hasn’t been playable since RE 0
I’m thinking RER:3 in switch.
I think we have it already lol. Resident evil 7 had the same director and even some similarities which I don't want to spoil.
No they are not. Everybody loves them. I have never heard a single negative impression of them. Where are they underrated? They get a lot of praise.
@@thiagovidal6137 agreed, the games are both fantastic and I never heard any negative reviews, it's not underrated but far from overrated, RER 2 is my favorite though what a game
Boulder punching friend! Lol Yeah that's Chris, Not everyone can be the master of unlocking like Jill!
Or Jill sandwiches lol.
@@jjenk911 definitely on the jill sandwich!
Here, Chris. Here's a pair of boulder punching gloves. You, the puncher of boulders, would make better use of it than I would.
And nobody has weapons that are really powerful especially against living things like Barry.
I snagged the 3DS version when it was on sale for $5 on the eShop. I think it was a total steal, and I loved this game so much that I bought it again for my Switch just to play it on the big screen.
Another awesome retrospective, however, I can shed some light on MT Framework as I'm a dev xD
So check this out. MT Framework is NOT a game engine which is contrary to most of what you could find on Wikipedia. This means that it is much easier to be able to extend to work with different consoles and devices as it doesn't have all the features and bloat that a Game Engine has. MT Framework is a framework as the name suggests, it is a bunch of loosely coupled libraries that handle graphics, sound, physics and so on which makes it easier to swap out different portions of the library if they are a bit too robust for the game being designed with it.
I should also note that MT Framework Mobile was used over MT Framework as it was built with the graphics, control scheme, cpu processing power, sound chips and other hardware with mobile devices as the main target.
To sum this all up, A Framework is a collection of libraries and tools that are used to develop games and applications whereas a Game Engine is built specifically for creating games. There are pros and cons associated with both. For example with a framework, you'd have to still build a core engine for the game (which is different from a game engine) from scratch. A game engine handles most of the core engine aspects of the game development process and generally makes it so you mostly only have to do scripting to create your game.
Agreed.
I didn't even know this! Thanks for sharing your insight sir/ma'am. :D
I can further compound on this by asking all of you to look into something called QT Framework. It is a graphics library in c++ that is cross platform and very powerful. Generally, things in the software and game development world will follow the same naming conventions. It is one of those things that is rarely deviated from due to naming familiarity allows for you to actually understand what something is supposed to target.
Unity Engine, Xenko Engine, CryEngine, Unreal Engine and most other game engines tend to have the name engine in them. It isn't really a standard to do that, but it is a general thing that does happen.
Framework however, is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software. A software framework provides a standard way to build and deploy applications.
.Net Framework, Mono Framework, Boost, Juce, Chromium and many others out there tend to have framework in the name or in the description.
There is one last thing to talk about and that is a library. A library is a collection of code and data intended for reuse. A library will generally cover a specific task such as only graphics, audio, physics or handling input.
Basically, you start with a library. When you add multiple libraries together with some tools for assembling your game or application, it becomes a framework. A framework will become a game engine when you add more tools and a scene graph and world / level editor to the mix.
This should add a little more insight into the development world and how we tend to distinguish things from one another.
Qt was part of a pH-Meter (RedHat Distribution) at my former employer.
DatSwissGuy QT is integrated into many different software types. It is a fantastic framework to use, hell, it is so good that many devs are working on porting it to other languages for ease of use.
I actually never mind the variarity off monsters in this resident evil . I feel theres alot more enemies types than re 7 . Re 7 it just threw mold enemies that looked almost the same atleast here they tried with very weird and different variantions . And it felt like there was a pattern with the t abyss virus unlike re7 mold . And i bougjt this game so many times . I got for the wiiu , 3ds , xboxone and 360 . So yeah it was worth my time i think XD
I have copies on PS4, PC and 3DS. I'd agree it's definitely worth a play.
LMAO! Me too 3ds, ps3 and ps4
I only have it on 3DS and Switch, but I love that it's available on both home and handheld consoles because the story can be played easily in long sessions or short bursts, especially with Raid Mode.
I feel like most _RE_ titles don't have that much enemy variety and that it isn't really a problem. The bulk of your enemies are usually some form of "zombie" and then you'll have a small handful of other enemies that appear in certain areas, as well as a few "boss" class enemies. _RE4_ and later games, when they started using "intelligent zombies" mostly only had variety in the manner of weapon they might use, along the the "mid-boss" style chainsaw or executioner enemies. At it's core, 90% of the enemies are incidental "B.O.W.s" and as such are much more common and less threatening than the actual B.O.W.s that the viruses are used to develop.
RE7 is by far my least favorite game in the series. Never want to play it again.
I really dig Revelations, it really blows my mind that this is a 3DS title. Also, nifty fact, the Circle Pad Pro controls are also available if you have a new Nintendo 3DS.
This may sound strange, but there's something about this game that really has PSone era charm and sincerity that I can't quite place (not graphically, obviously) and also kudos to Capcom to getting this game on almost everything that can run it
Can you imagine if they had left such an amazing game relegated to the 3DS? It's every bit as good as the other RE titles of this time, if not better than a couple of them!
@@joshuaweston4489 I am actually very glad they ported this to basically everything! It's wonderful to see a great game like this get a bigger audience
Now that i have watched it, i had no idea that it was originally a 3DS release, it is a graphical wonder for sure. Thanks again for an amazing and interesting video❤️
Not only that, but on US physical copies of the 3DS Revelations release, many copies misspelled Revelations. I think they did later fix it, but a bunch of 1st run copies had that spelling mistake.
Genome Soldat omg Thats hilarious 😂
@@Gruntvc I bet copys like that will be worth quite a buck in a few years.
This game is pretty good.
A nitpick I had with it was that you practically can't play hard mode first, because it's unplayable, for newcomers at least. You have to beat it on normal, because new fame plus lets you play in any difficulty. Which is nice and all, but I think this meant that hard mode was designed for new game plus from the beginning.
Indeed, fame you got, not sure for the right thing though.
Just wanted to let you know that your series has lead to me purchasing and finally playing the original Resident Evil (REmake) on PC. Loving the game so far but I love this series just a tad bit more, keep up the great work!
Revelations 1 is good and all but for me Revelations 2 is where it’s at
Plus it’s got my boi Barry in it so of course I love it
Barry is the man
it's weird but for me my favorite is 1. objectively 2 is better in a lot of ways but i don't know why it didn't hook me. Maybe because of that annoying emo called Moira, i hated her so much that i almost stopped playing haha.
Revelations 1 was much better than the 2
@@chinaski6593 Claire seems to really like the company of annoying tag alongs doesnt she.
Revelations 2 bored me to death, dropped after a few hours.
I really liked this game when I played it on my PS4. I don't have much desire to revisit it, but I had a great time
Yeah, I get that. It didn't set the world on fire, but it also didn't suck ass. Just kind of middle of the road. The real stand out thing for me, was the return to the atmospheric, claustrophobic feel of the originals.
I dont get how you can fault this game for having a lack of enemies, but you didn't do the same for RE7, which has like, a single enemy type, being the black goo monsters.
Hey, there's more than a single enemy type! It's not just black goo monster, don't forget black goo monster on all fours, black goo monster with sword arm, and fat black goo monster!
@@UltimateCarl I hear they play in a Black Flag cover band on the weekends. When Fat Black Goo Monster is sober for once.
This makes total sense to me. Revelations has a much bigger focus on combat than RE7, and as such it is much more noticeable in Revelations.
This is actually my favorite RE game thus far followed very closely by RE1 remake
The raid mode is really fun if you can get someone to play with
Ive watched 6 of these retrospectives yours and I cant get enough! The most complete, detailed and well thought out analisies of these games. So much so they make me wana play all the REs all over again and for sure play the ones I never did like revelations, 6 and 7
Thank you for calling out the lack of laser in later ports. It helps give the game so much depth perception. :((((((( reticle looks ssssssssssssoooooooooooo flat. Total immersion killer.
RIGHT!? I thought I was the only one!
lol i mentioned it to you in the original review, because you mentioned not playing the 3DS version.
That’s my biggest issue with the game!!! I wish they had put an option in the settings to change it to a laser!
Does the world end when you've covered 'em all? Beause goddamn, this has become a part of my life. I can't wait to see each one as it releases and such. (Hyperbole intended)
I really like this game, and found myself extremely invested into the story due to it being told in a unique way for the franchise.
I think the laser sight was ditched to make it easier for the 3DS.
This games Soundtrack is insanely good!
Also I would love Raid Mode implemented in every RE-Game, it's so addicting! ^-^
Mercenaries mode is better imo 😊
Amazing work on your entire RE retrospective series, thank you for making some very entertaining and informative looks for each entry of the franchise. These videos are made with a lot of love! Keep up the good work sir
Thanks so much! I appreciate all the love!
As a fan of the old school RE games. i did enjoy this. and the sequal was even better!
hopefully that's the next video!
also the dodge mechanic was hit and miss. since you could do a 180 instead of dodging it was bad!
I agree with that 110%! I got a dodge on accident way more than on purpose.
I hated the dodge mechanic on this game. Got me killed lots of times.
One of my favorite games of all time and I don't care who knows it.
Something about the scanner adds this brilliant arcady dimension to the game while the game simultaneously carries itself seriously. Add on top of that the many different and rich settings the game puts you in and I think it has this perfect blend of fun and memorable experience that'll leave you longing for more.
...Which you won't find :(
Great video man. This is always a good series of reviews to watch when you release one. Keep up the good work!
This was my first RE game! Haven't played it since my first run through about a year or so after it came out, but it was good enough to get me to play the rest of the series! I think Rev 2 was overall better, but that's mostly because of Barry.
I think I'm the only person who enjoyed Keith and Quint in this game. They're sections are really dumb, but I felt they were an homage to the sillier parts of RE, just like the other sections were homages to the other RE styles. Plus Keith has 2 knives, which is pretty cool.
You definitely may be the only one who liked those sections. HA! Hey, to each his own.
This is also my first RE game. Completed it just an hour ago.
I really enjoyed RER I had to wait for the HD version but it was worth it I still remember that I didn’t went to school the day it came out and I played all day haha my favorite part of this game is the effort to return to the roots and the enemies which are awesome especially Rachel, Malacoda and Norman I almost shit myself the first time I heard Rachel laugh 🤣
You are a machine, have loved every one of your Resi Retrospectives and just shows how much work has gone into them.
Thanks!! I have been putting in a shit ton of effort, and it's awesome to have that recognized.
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the genious monster designs of REvelations. Seriously, Lovecraftian deep-sea monsters is such a great idea, it brings that "fear of the unknown" that every horror media dreams of achieving. The monster design is the best (non-boss) in the entire series IMO, I'm just fascinated by it. Look up concept art, it's absolutely astounding.
I think they worked as an idea, but in practice, having the same looking monsters kind of brought me out of the experience.
Another video, another like and another happy fan, still love the vids and your passion for the series, keep it up man
There’s sense on using boats for these stories since they are an enclosed environment which SHOULD help build some idea of claustrophobia. But boats are actually more open than some of the previous installments. Thanks for continuing to release these videos
Don't know why it took so long to find this channel...but I love it!!! Keep up the final fantasy and RE stuff!
Well hey, better late than never. HA! Thanks for the love!
@@AvalancheReviews how can I support the channel? Also, how can I get you to do a retrospective on dino crisis???
As someone with the memory of a drunken goldfish I loved the episodic nature and having a recap before every new episose
WOOOOOHOOOOO NEW VIDEO !!! i look forward to the notification when you drop a new video love this series cant wait to see what you do in the future bruddah !
I really liked the BOW design in this game. It's different. A different color pallet of terror. Splooge monsters are indeed frightening. I like how they just flop around and move completely unlike their body-shape would betray.
I'm at the point where I start up one of these videos and click the Like button before the video even loads up, then watch them all the way through without regret. I deeply enjoy your insight of how exactly you enjoy these games and I agree that hopefully you start with Silent Hill as well. All in all, great work!
Thank you man! Much appreciated. Don't worry, an SH retrospective is definitely on my mind.
So what are your plans after finishing the RE retrospective?
I really enjoyed every single retrospect and you really changed my view on a lot of the RE games
Thank you so much for making it!
The Revelations games are criminally underrated. I just now played both. Revelations 2 Co op with my wife was a blast, and I am going through Revelations now. Was hooked immediately. Great game.
This was essentially my first RE game, and I loved it. Glad to hear you mostly enjoyed it
yet another great review, can’t wait for your retrospective on RE2 remake when it comes out !
Great work as usual. Love this kind of video. :)
I loved this on the 3ds back in the day, it was my first RE game and I especially liked the abandoned cruise ship setting
Before watching this I actually did play through this game and played RE1 remake for the first time. I loved it. I can't wait to go back and play the original. thanks for the amazing content
during the first minute: "oh it started out on handheld?" 10 seconds later: "YOU CAN DODGE THAT?!
i pretty much agree with everything. i really love the creepy desolate ship atmosphere, with rachel whispering to you from the shadows and showing up to try to kill you. i just hate pretty much every other character's story bits. plus, from the instant i met her, i couldn't stand jessica as a character or raymond's constant state of resting bitch face.
Raymond did look like a cross between a 6 year old girl, and a 40 year old man!!! HAAA
Binging your videos at work. SphereHunter spoke of you and I am glad I looked into your channel .
It was a good video, it shows the love and respect you have for the franchise. Thanks.
NO, Thank you!
For me, I think this one has to be my second favorite in the series with _Resident Evil REmake_ being my absolute favorite. It's only because I never played any of the classic titles unfortunately with the exception of _CODE: Veronica X_ , which wasn't all that great.
I remember being very impressed by the graphics and thinking 'Wow. Maybe the graphics are close to the vita.'
2:59 that Hunter evaporating is such a cool scene.
The Resident Evil Revelations Remastered Retrospective can be abbreviated as RE RE RE RE
So Im watching Rererere right now.
Good video.
This game was awesome for the 3ds. It was good. Good graphics and story.
this was my first resident evil game back in 2012 when i was 9 years old... and what is there to say... it makes me so nostalgic, it got me into the series!
Great RE video as always. Damn, what you gonna do after all RE's :D
first game I bought for the 3ds and I was blown away, raid mode was really addicting
First of all THANK YOU for doing this reviews. It really puts a smile on my face everytime i see the notification for your videos. It's really awesome that there are still such big fellow RE nerds out here in youtube.
I rememeber when i heard Capcom was doing a new "retro" RE and man i was hyped as shit, then i realized it was for the N3DS... But then, after a while it came on Xbox 360 and since i owned that beauty i bought right away. I freaking loved. And i know, it's not one of the best RE ever created but for me (and after the disaster that RE6 was) this was like a send from heaven. It has many flaws but at the same time it's in my top 5 RE games ever.
The graphics were really good for the time, the music was melancholic and fitted the tone of the game. The controls were finally improved and all the customization for weapons and items gave me hours and hours of joy. Ye3s, the plot was crap, but in good, goofy, funny way, not in that dark, moody and awfull RE6 style. And yes, some characters were annoying, like that clown looking guy (and don't even get me started on the awfull voice acting), or those two weird creepy guys thatyou control in a mission. But that was nothing compared to been able to play as my lovely love Jill Valentine... i mean... DAT ASS haha. Parker was a good addition to the cast also. Jessica on the other hand... i hope she never returns!
The other thing i didn't like and that you didn't mentioned was a huge issue for me at the begining. The way the camera keeps moving, simulating being on a ship was really bad for me. I was having movement sickness for a while and i felt that effect was not necesary even if it was kind of cool to see it for a couple of minutes.
It really amazes me how you complaint about the controls and the way characters move in this game but didn't do the same for RE6 (in my opinion those were terrible beyond believe). I guess that shows that everyones opinion and experiences with games are different haha.
And yes those "previously on" were fine the first time but in multiple playtroughs are fucking annoying as hell.
I agree with you in that the enemy variety was really bad, i got tired of seeing and killing the same white monsters over and over again, and plus, they really wanted you to fight hunters.... wich for me was the absolute worst since hunters are my most hated enemy in the entire franchise. I know they are cool and dangerous but i died so many many many times thank's to those assholes since the first RE that i can't help but hate them with all my soul haha.
Can i ask why you didn't even mentioned the AWESOME Raid Mode??? For me that was a huge part for what i really loved this game. I'm not a multiplayer/online type of guy and to be honest i never even liked the mercenaries mode (i'ts cool but, i HATE when games makes you do something in a timer, for me that's just no fun) but Raid mode hooked me like no other mode. I spent like 120 hours playing it and even got to N°1 in the ladders for my country (Chile) and N°4 in South América. My poor disc got almost destroyed out of so much use haha.
Anyway, sorry again for the long post. As always good review and keep the good work sir.
PS: I still have no idea what the big "REVELATIONS" were...
First off, thanks for all the love man! Second, ya know, I never thought about that, but that's a good point. My wife usually gets motion sickness real bad from games, but I've never had an issue with it. That being said, I can understand why that first part would effect you that way. There was a shit ton of camera rocking and swaying. As for the raid mode, I just never have gotten into RE raid/mercenary modes. I enjoy being skilled at RE games, but I like doing that in the context of staying alive and experiencing the game world. Something about racking up points for kills, just doesn't get me going. That's pretty insane you ranked number 4 in all of South America! Now I'm self conscious of my gameplay looking scrubby as hell to you. HAA!
You're welcome sir! i just love your videos and the work you're putting on them.
By the way, i'm not a good RE player. I mean, i have my moments, but overall i consider myself just average. I guess the reason i climbed so high in the ladder was because i was stubborn as shit. I played and played and played. i think for this tipe of mode that's the key factor. I can uderstand that didn't work for you, same way mercenaries never worked for me. It has nothing to do with the old and classic RE games but for me it was incredible fun and addictive. It's weird that rade mode for RE Revelations 2 didn't grab me as much as the first one, even if it's objectively better in almost every way..
I remember getting both revelations 1 and 2 as gifts off of steam, knowing that they were a different take on the resident evil main games I was curious so I checked it out. Revelations 1 felt more like Resident Evil 5 to me in a more simplistic story line as well as graphically just different. It felt like an old game graphically to me. I did like the characters but I was surprised at the ending of the game to me, it felt like there was more to the story by the time it had ended. I am looking forward to Revelations 3 whenever that will be, because it felt like they never resolved 1 to me. Anyway, great review man, keep it up.
Thanks! I'm interested in seeing what they do with Rev3, since the main series is going more of a horror route now, and Rev was supposed to fill that niche.
With each of these videos I get the incredible urge to play each game. Thankfully I have this on PS3 so I don't have to hunt down a copy on 3DS...buuuuut I might just for collection sake lol (My 3DS could use a few more notable titles). Another great review my friend!
Hey so, idk if you still have intentions to do more designs for your Redbubble shop, but you should do some RE shirts! Idk if that would be hard to do, but considering I want to eventually buy a lot of the ones you have up already, that would definitely be one I would add to my cart!
Thanks man! It's always good to be a bad influence on other collectors. HA! Ya know, I've tried to do a few shirts with RE title screens on them, but the prerendered 2d images don't look as good upscaled, vs the sprite work I usually work with. With the sprites, it looks retro on a shirt, but with some 2d art, the color banding and compression artifacts, just make it look like a low quality print on a shirt. Kind of sucks. It would be cool to have access to high quality art assets, and make a shirt out of those.
This game sold me on getting the 3DS. I remember being really bummed out when we never got an RE game on the PSP and seeing something this great looking on a Nintendo portable was more than enough to invest in the system.
Hey dude just thought I'd say you are doing an awesome job with the retrospective!
Well thanks! Much appreciated!
TBH this is the game that got me to fall in love with the series. the first one i played was 6, then i was looking for M and T games on the 3DS and found a demo for this game in the e shop. after 1 minute of the demo i was in love with the game, it was instantly at the top of my Christmas list. i remember opening my gifts and as soon as i saw this stopped opening gifts just to play it, at least until i was told to put my 3DS away and finish unwrapping my gifts. LOL Hell almost every console i have that i can get this game on i hav it. i have it of course on 3DS, PS4, Wii U, and switch. the only console that i can get this game on that i didn't get it for is my PS3, even though i already have it on everything else i am not against the idea of buying yet another copy of my favorite RE game.
Love these videos, dude. I've only played 5 and Revelations 2, but now I need to play all of them. (Except for Survivor)
You should do the Dead Space series after these.
I just finished this today and had a damn good time
Seeing the video thumbnail on my subscriptions made me smile today.
Owned rev1 on the 3ds but was too terrified to get past the first level.
Came back to it on Switch and totally fell in love. Finished it and 2 shortly after. I usually tap out when it comes to scary stuff but the gameplay and especially story kept me pushing through my fear. I gotta give props to games like that!
I imported the joystick add on for my 3dsxl from Japan made a huge improvement on the 3ds controls
I’ve been on an RE kick for a couple months now and part of that has been watching your videos. I never really played any of the games before I played 7 in March. Thanks to a timely RE sale I got most of the games and I’ve been working through them by chronological order.
I just finished revelations 1 and I’m gonna start 2 in a minute. Really looking forward to Village. It’s been great to just get totally immersed in the resident evil world the past months.
I really enjoyed Revelations. I thought the story was interesting and I liked the side characters like Parker and Jessica. Great design of some of the enemies especially the final boss. As someone who has been on a few cruise ships, it’s a perfect environment for a horror experience to take place in. Definitely check out the game, plus you get Jill in a wetsuit. How can you beat that? haha
love this video 😍 I had no idea this game was on PS4 until watching this 👍😊
Thanks! Glad to spread the word!
Can not wait for you to do resident evil remake all by it's self love your videos dude keep it up!
Well, you won't have to wait too long. It's coming this Monday.
My favorite resident evil. It was my first RE title, after all. I even purchased the Revelations art book two days ago - it’s great! I hope for a Revelations 3. I want to see more of the BSAA and new infections and scenarios
The scene where terragrigia is destroyed in 3D (on the 3DS) is so freaking awesome!
Yay! Really love these videos man! The only ones I haven't watched are 3, 5, 6 and 7 since I haven't beat them yet. Just more incentive to beat them though right? :)
Thanks man!! I'm the same way. I stay away from reviews for games I haven't beat, or ones that I want to replay, but I forgot a little about them.
I have Revelations 1 and 2 on my switch and I enjoyed them alot. Although I'm a huge resident evil fan so I pretty much love all of them lol (actually thinking about playing them now, or resident evil DS)
REDS is so damn good!
I wish instead of leaving RE Mercenarys 3d being left behind on the 3ds, i wish it would have been included as a mode in the revelations HD version as a new mode. Same characters as mercenarys 3d but with maybe revelations characters added atleast.
I love this game. Got it on ps3 and the switch. My one problem with it was the dodge mechanic. Thankfully revelations 2 improved it. Add the awesome raid mode and you have a game with high replayability. Personally I like revelations 2 better but the first game was a blast
The dodging was wonky as hell.
Great review Jared.
I love the Revelations games ;)
I hope they come with a Revelations 3..
Thanks man! I'm really interested to see if they continue the Rev series. I mean, the numbered games are supposed to be going more of a horror route, which is what the Rev games were supposed to be for. I wonder what they'll do
I had so much fun with this on the PS3 when it came out. I missed out on the DS version.
I'm a hardcore resident evil fan and i love this and rev2 as if it was a great addition to the classic titles... Like an upgraded version to what made me fall in love with the series!
Played this on the 3DS back when it came out and was quite impressed with what they were able to accomplish on the handheld. Recently, I've been thinking about picking up one of the HD versions along with the sequel to experience the title again as I revisit the franchise. Stuff like trophy/achievement tracking is a nice little bonus to go with the HD upgrade, and the titles are available for a reasonable price these days.
Ironically this was my second favorite RE game. Never played it on ds, but loved its port on the 360. The optional level modes (forgot the name) were my favorite in the series next to RE4.
Its sequel, Resident Evil: Revelations 2, actually has nothing to do with this game story-wise, it is however connected by its tone and structure. Both Revelations games take place between two main entries, they both follow an episodic structure, they both harken back to the series' survival-horror roots, and they both feature an arcade style "Raid Mode" unique to this sub-series.
Takes place between the events of Resident Evil 4 and 5.
I just played this on 3DS and with full blast 3D effect and it was gorgeous
This is one of my favorite entries (Xbox 360 version). I played the heck out Raid Mode, even getting the Revelator during one of the Kill-count events. Jessica is the best
Less of a retrospective and more of an indepth review, but what a great indepth review it was :D
Fair enough. I wanted to cover everything, but I had to balance that with also wanting people who had never tried the games, to give them a shot. Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Love all these retrospectives! i know you lumped it into the re1 vid but could you please do a separate one on REmake? that one deserves it's own video
Funny you mention that. I may or may not be working on one right now.
Love RE games. Love your channel. Shigning in.
Thank you!
I liked parts of Revelations, but was very put off by the comparisons to the originals. For every great moment, there was a straight up shooting gallery (there was a Hunter section that lasted I swear to god 20-30 minutes). I can’t stand the enemy wave encounters.
Yeah, I didn't care for that part too much, but I loved the location. Seeing the hunters running around outside of the building, and climbing on the windows, was pretty damn cool.
@@AvalancheReviews Same. The location is cool and seeing the Hunters that early in the game adds tension. The flip side to that, however, is that the section gets too action heavy and eventually just throws hordes of the same enemy type at you. It's not the most egregious example of this type of thing in the series, but I don't think Capcom has ever really pulled it off a second time. The first, of course, being that part in RE4 with the villagers slowly breaking into the cabin.
i love and enjoy your RE Retrospective series so much man, now let me get some snacks before i watch lol
will u do REvelations 2 next?
Thanks man! Yep, Rev2 will be coming the week after next.
This is the very game that sparked hope for capcom to bring back the RE I enjoyed. It was another plus that it stared Jill and even brought in Chris to bring back the classic duo. I loved it so much I bought it not once not twice but three times. I have it for 3ds,ps3 and ps4.
I'll say. You nailed this one. Being a fan of both new and old, 2 being my all time favorite. This game did a really good job of making me feel like I was playing an actual resident evil game. My one gripe of this video, you didn't touch on raid mode. That's kind of a big deal for this game. And it's crushing difficulty. I have the platinum trophy on both the PS3 and PS4 versions. Fun fact, they have seperate trophy lists. But the raid mode was what had me coming back for more. Probably my favorite mini game in the series. Anyway, great fucking video my dude.
A lot of people have said that about raid mode, but I've never been a fan of the raid/mercenary modes. Not sure why, but that's just never been a part of the games that I got into.
@@AvalancheReviews hey, for each their own. It would be impossible to please everyone. Still, one my my favorite retrospectives from you.
This game reminded me of "Cold Fear".
Which incidentally was a better game tbh.
I agree that Cold Fear was a better game.
One of my favourite games
I understand some people’s dislike of this game but I really enjoyed it! Not exactly sure why maybe it is just a guilty pleasure but I love this title from the series. Great video as well, thank you!
Great review! I think this game would have looked great if they had used a camera system like in Code Veronica, 3D but classic controls.
one of my favorite games of all time
