Resident Evil: Revelations

This new version of Resident Evil Revelations could be considered as a really lazy port. Albeit it has improved visuals and better framerate, and includes all of its DLC, sadly it doesn't offer anything new that stands out from its previous last-gen versions. Yes, it is a good game, but is basically the same title that many have already enjoyed.

Resident Evil: Revelations is a true survival-horror experience with a lot to offer on modern home consoles for only $20. Not everything in the game has made the jump to console perfectly, but if it’s anything to go by, I sure as hell enjoyed this game a lot more than Resident Evil 6.

This new edition of Resident Evil: Revelations, even if without unpublished contents, demonstrates once again the beauty of the original game.

Visually, Resident Evil: Revelations is a bit rough around the edges but that doesn't hold it back from being an intense and enjoyable action-based entry in the series, either by playing solo or teaming up with a friend in Raid Mode.

Still one of the best Resident Evil ever made, but don't expect anything new if you've already challenged the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions.

Really, for those that have already played Revelations, there isn’t any huge reason to run out and grab this again unless A. It’s never been played before B. Love to collect or purchase anything with Resident Evil in the title, or C. Just simply want to replay it again on the new consoles. There’s nothing really wrong with the game as far as coming over to the PS4, and mileage will vary on the repeated issues the game does have, like handheld design roots, scope, and limited animations. Though I will say, getting this for $19.99 is a solid deal, and I’ll be taking choice B in adding this to my collection as I’m a long time Resident Evil fan.

As repetitive as it is to keep saying for remasters, this is the definitive version and best way to play Resident Evil Revelations.

While it can’t shake off its mobile 3DS roots and is aged a bit, but this was and still is one of the better entries in the Resident Evil franchise.

Its varied focus on action, exploring and suspense keeps working wonderfully on today's standards, altough current consoles could use a more ambitious graphical performance.

At the end of the day, I would rather play Resident Evil: Revelations again on current-gen consoles than to reminisce about my 3DS. It didn't hold up well, and it understandably suffers in many graphical areas due to it having been originally developed for a handheld device. It's still a better-than-average game that features a classic series plot and two of my favorite characters. If you go into it with the understanding that this is a port of a handheld game, you should be more than pleased with it. The Raid mode extends playability and longevity with its addicting gameplay and co-op capabilities. Luckily, the comes with a wallet-friendly price of $20, but if you can catch it on sale, it's an even better deal.

Overall, for $19.99, it’s a bargain to play a solid entry in the Resident Evil series in HD with a solid framerate. As of this release, we now have most of the major Resident Evil titles to be released on one platform. At this point, I would even take a Remastered or Remade Re: Outbreak, which was a game well ahead of its time.

Resident Evil: Revelations is a great and enjoyable survival horror. Perhaps, the PS4/One version isn’t exactly the best way to go, but it’s certainly a great porting of a game made in 2012.

Resident Evil Revelations is a great buy for Resi fans and a solid entry into the series for newcomers. Just don’t expect anything new if you’ve already played the game on Nintendo 3DS or PS3.

Resident Evil: Revelations is a faithful game to the original Resident Evil concept. It's has some downs about poor controls. However, it is a fun game to play.

Well worth a look for those who may have skipped its initial release after becoming disenfranchised with the direction the series was taking.

Resident Evil Revelations offers a good port of the original game. The game now has a solid 1080p/60fps and some bonuses in Raid mode. That being said, if you have already played it, the purchase is highly dispensable.

This remastered version is a pure porting from the PC and runs at 1080p/60 without any hesitation. Revelations was an "average" RE title 5 years ago, and still it is today: for 20 bucks it could be a good deal for some of you who didn't play the original version.

Resident Evil Revelations is played better than never before on PS4 and Xbox One through a better resolution and fluency. However, some graphical limitations of the Nintendo 3DS - like some textures, illumination or foggy environments - have not been fixed.

A nice remastered version of a good old survival horror game, but without major differences from the other versions, apart from some little visual upgrades.

If you've played other versions you won't find major differences here apart from some visual upgrades, but it holds up pretty well, and it still offers a good balance between the classic and the modern Resident Evil games.

Neither the most complete nor the best of remasters, but whoever already played Revelations will find a game that successfully combines survival horror and action in order to offer a game with a solo mode that runs like a TV show, and an enjoyable bonus in the shape of Raid Mode.

This isn’t an inherently bad game by any stretch of the imagination; it’s just not one that managed to withstand the test of time, no matter how much Capcom tries to polish it up. And if you’re a new player who adored Resident Evil 7 and you’re wondering if this little spin-off game is worth jumping into, I’d say have a go with Revelations 2, see how you feel about it, and then take things from there.

The result is a slightly flat look, which makes it difficult to welcome Capcom's work enthusiastically. Recommended only to those who had missed the old releases.

If you’re a newcomer to Resident Evil, this is not the place to start. Go with this year’s Resident Evil 7 if you’re looking for something innovative, modern and terrifying. If pure action is what you’re after, the remastered editions of Resident Evil 4 and 5 are much easier recommendations.

My hang-ups with the aiming aside, the PlayStation 4 version of Resident Evil Revelations is the best version of the survival horror outing. The problem is that it’s 2017. It’s been over five years since Revelations (or I guess it was technically “Revelaitons” then) released on Nintendo 3DS, and what was once a technical marvel is an outdated-looking title on current consoles.

To be honest, buying Resident Evil Revelations in 2017 on PS4 or Xbox One is a waste of money. The remaster work is incredibly light, leaving the game with appalling graphics and a very old-fashioned gameplay.

Resident Evil Revelations is a fun and captivating game that now offers its best graphics and more content than ever. However, its modest origins as a 3DS game imposes certain gameplay limitations that puts it below everything that has come afterwards, relegating it to a filler status among the catalogue of Resident Evil titles available on current platform.

Resident Evil Revelations was a step in the right direction five years ago, but has since worn out its welcome. The game is enjoyable and features a undeniably spooky atmosphere, but at the end of the day, it's a five year old 3DS game on its third life.

The PlayStation 4 version of Resident Evil: Revelations is the definitive version, but that doesn’t carry as much weight as it would have a few years ago. We do think the campaign is still worth a playthrough, but with clunky controls, a graphical presentation that’s showing its age, and an inferior raid mode, it’s hard to recommend a voyage on this ship to anyone but newcomers.

I can only recommend Resident Evil: Revelations to die-hard fans who missed the game on its initial release, or those who just want to experience every chapter of Resident Evil lore. Whilst the game commits no specific new crime, it is a lazily-handeld port of a title that doesn't hold up well to big-screen modern scrutiny, with the ultimate revelation being, how right Capcom were to steer the course of the series in an entirely new direction.
