Resident Evil Revelations 1+2 Details from eShop listings
- Thread starter Jonneh
- Start date
Would have bought this already if both games physical or if second game download possible only with physical cart.
2 being digital version means I'm out. I dont buy digital on consoles.
Shame.

Bundle as in 2 games in a single purchase? In that case it hasn't been done yet, although game+DLC bundles exist. If you mean "buy X, get a discount for Y", the Jackbox games have that, at least in NA.
Naw. Its just how they designed it. At least in RE5. If you played the game on an SD TV the game had a straight horizontal split. It's just to maintain aspect ratio
For us European there's going to be a discount on the eShop if you buy one of the games:
It's still unfair for those who only wanted Rev 2, but it's something.

OK now this is good news
Let me know how much so I can decide if buying it on US or EU eshop
So let me get this straight - RE Revelations 1 & 2 are only available digitally in Europe?
But since the Switch is region-free - I can import a copy from the US? Will I have to change my eShop to get RE2 as I remember hearing somewhere that it's a download?
Ugh. Capcpom! Why is this is so annoying!

I love reading RE threads and seeing how damn different everyone feels about some entries, haha.
In the case of Revelations, I definitely prefer 2 over 1 by miles, at least in terms of gameplay, characters, story, and tension (on Veteran as your first playthrough).
1 has the better soundtrack for sure, but 2 has some gems. Seriously, 1's OST is magnificent, and might be one of the most beautiful RE soundtracks.
I also wish I could have the variety of 1's raid mode with 2's medallion system in 2, because I never felt compelled to replay 1's campaign, and 1's raid mode is what padded my play time in that game. 2's campaign is just so much more enjoyable because it controls better for me, but the raid mode is very repetitive.
It's a conundrum.

It's even more terrifying (and hilarious) in Raid mode, especially in the tiny-and-fast variant.
I finished Revelations 1 yesterday and I'm half way through Revelations 2.
Rev 1 is generic and bland with a laughably bad script and equally poor voice work, it feels more like a cop buddy comedy than a survival horror game, the gameplay is OK but quite clunky by modern standards, the visuals are very hit and miss with some awful textures in places, and the enemy design is awful, they look like Unity store assets. Rev 2 is considerably better in every aspect, the voice work is top notch, the visuals are greatly improved, the gameplay feels much better, the mob design is a million times more interesting and varied, and the game is actually atmospheric and "scary", it feels like a survival horror game. Plus there's many more subtle improvements people may have missed playing the games years apart (like the doors not being constantly slammed in your face, or the game being split into 5 minutes chunks).
So far Rev 2 is my favourite modern RE game, other than RE7 which was incredible.
