[Stars1356]

I really can't see myself buying another system for RE like I have done in the past but time will tell. This game has gotten me interested.

Doubtful, considering the game will be heavily based on the 3D feature according to Inafune.

The 3D feature on any 3DS can be turned off, which means that really, this game could be released on PSP aswell.

While PSP doesn't support bump-mapping and programmable shaders, 3DS does and that makes big difference graphic-wise. Just compare Big Boss from Peace Walker and MGS 3D

I see, I see, well then, the graphics are alot better on 3DS, but it doesn't mean that it's not possible for a PSP version to spawn.

"Oh, and Resident Evil Revelations? It was just video that you could zoom in and out and turn the camera that simply slid the video around. It wasn't being generated on the 3DS in realtime, guaranteed. "

To be honest, it's possible that this game is on both the 3DS and PSP.
They both have similar graphics (atleast from pre-release screenshots of games for the 3DS.)

Not exactly. While PSP doesn't support bump-mapping and programmable shaders, 3DS does and that makes big difference graphic-wise. Just compare Big Boss from Peace Walker and MGS 3D:

I think the world might need an interpretor for my horrifying sense of humor or something

The G4 preview mentioned a scene of someone telling our protagonists that they were "already dead" (hence the "Afterlife" pun)

[Shadow Stalker]

It's... Resident Evil... Afterlife!

What does the G4 review of Resident Evil: Revelations got to do with Resident Evil: Afterlife?

[Carnivol]

You may officially hate me for this;

It's... Resident Evil... Afterlife!

[Mr. Rod]

What's so shocking about it?

[Pikminister]

From g4:

Chris and Jill briefly talked back and forth before the mysterious man in the chair mocked them, informing the duo they were already dead...

Well, not that I think it will be for PSP, but Silent Hill - Shattered Memories was heavily based around the idea of being a Wii game, but somehow spawned a PS2 and PSP port on launch, right?

I guess anything's possible...

Yeah but in regards to Shattered Memories, adapting the Wii version to the other consoles felt a bit forced. The PS2 version was missing not just visual effects, polygons & had different enemy placement but also lacked the functions that made it so unique on Nintendo's console.

Same thing may happen with any handheld port of Revelations.

I wouldn't totally count that out, though I would've expected them to announce it as multi-plat, just a thought.

He is holding the gun with both hands, and clearly aiming, with no surprise face.
But it's just what I saw, in the end.
