Impressions of the RE: Revelations demo:

1.- This one comes courtesy of Siliconera:

I played the Resident Evil: Revelations demo from the eShop too and it’s a Japanese version of what I saw at E3. The trial version begins with Jill waking up in a locked room on a "Ghost Ship."

How Many Knife Pokes Does It Take To Defeat Resident Evil: Revelation’s Ooze?

The 2012 edition of The Guinness Book of World records: Games Edition came out and guess what RE game is still making headlines: RE4



The book also mentions that the Resident Evil movies are the most successful films based on a videogame. Thus why they keep making them, no?

A couple of Resi stories are up:

1. Games of 2012 - Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

It's easy to forget (the RE series) also has its fair share of low points: lightgun shooter Survivor and the weak co-op Outbreak series.

The worry is that Operation Raccoon City could fall into the second category. It's solid-looking and has a robust cover system, but it all looks a little generic, with basic third-person shooter combat. The class system could add some depth, however. One player can control enemies for brief periods, for instance, while others are heavily combat-focused.

One thing the game excels at is appealing to long-time Resi fans, with levels set during events that shaped the series' mythology. One early level sees you fighting William Birkin.

2.- Resident Evil Revelations makes the top ten in Famitsu's "Most Wanted" list:

01. Dragon Quest X
02. Dragon’s Dogma
03. Photo Kano
04. Monster Hunter 4
05. Persona 4: The Golden
06. Animal Crossing
07. New Love Plus
08. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
09. Asura’s Wrath
10. Resident Evil: Revelations

the weak coop outbreak ? fuck them that wrote that ....

Same here. The only thing outbreak lacked was the ability to use mics in game. Otherwise the whole multiplayer experience was great. Too bad CAPCOM won't port them to the PS3/XBOX.

Sven from Capcom-Unity posted an update on the Resident Evil: Revelations demo:

A RE: Revelations demo for NA and Europe is coming.

In the case of NA, we're awaiting our date confirmation and code approval from NOA (we have a tentative from them, but I'll have to keep you in suspense).

When we have something more concrete to share, you won't be able to miss it on the Capcom-Unity blog.
