Switch trailer for Resident Evil Revelations 1 + 2

[Neiteio]

As the RE community from the Old Country will recall, I'm a HUGE fan of both of these games. (An RER1 character is in my avatar!)

And by the end of the month I'll be able to replay them for the 100th time on my favorite system. Good times!




What are those arcade games they tease at the end? I don't recall those from the PS4 versions...

As for the Switch collection...

- RER1 is $20 USD; RER2 is $20 USD
- Both games are based on the PS4 versions
- RER1 is 1080p/60fps docked, 720p/60fps undocked
- RER2 is 1080p/30fps docked, 720p/30fps undocked
- Both games support gyro aiming (optional)
- Both games support gesture reloading, knifing, etc (optional)
- Both games support amiibo unlocks
- RER1 Raid supports co-op
- RER2 Campaign and Raid supports co-op

Also, this may sound like a spoiler for RER2, but it's really not — it's something that will save you a lot of grief by putting you on the good path for the good ending in RER2, which is truly amazing. Just remember: When Claire is pinned down, switch to Moira and crawl forward. You'll know it when you get there.

I like the cliffhanger-driven episodic format for both games, but the story in RER2 is especially good — hands-down the best story in the RE series, which might not be saying much, but it's legitimately good. <3 Barry and Moira

Anyways, get hype!

Picking this up, never played Revelations 2 but I loved the first game. Raid mode was a treat.

RER2 is so good! It has the most kick-ass (and quotable!) ending in the series, assuming you get the good ending, which has an extra boss battle in an extra area. Also features a very satisfying emotional buildup and payoff.

 

[MLH]

What's the mini-games shown at the end? I see an awesome looking Ghosts & Goblins inspired Barry mini-game.

 

[Galdius]

I have the first one on 3DS and Xbox 360, the second one on PS4 and Vita and I have only played a few hours of 1 on the 3DS with the circle pad.
I'm planning on getting this collection and finally playing and finishing both games.

 

[ShellshockPrime]

I'm mostly getting this for the second game.

 

[Agrizzlyadventure]

I played a demo of one of these and liked it but never got around to the full game, this is gonna be sweet playing through on my switch.

 

[chrisypoo]

Yeah I'm buying this, and it'll probably be my favorite version of the games for the same reason RE4 for the wii is my favorite version of that; can't beat those motion aiming controls man. Speaking of which....RE4 for the Switch? Please? Pretty please?

 

[bobbychalkers]

Sounds like an amazing port job. I never owned a portable version of RER2 so I'll double dip. Between Raid mode and History mode in FEW, I'll never have to socialize again!

 

[Medalion]

I think I may just end up getting the R2... I have played the first one on 3DS and Wii-U am bored

 

[ClickyCal']

What do amiibos do?

Edit-aww, wish there were some amiibo costumes. Dressing up Chris as Mario would be great.

 

[Dekuman]

A competent port. Maybe double dip later.

 

[tsab]

I kinda want to buy this physical but it only contains RER1 on cart and RER2 as a digital download, correct?

 

[Nocchi]

I would so double dip on this if Rev 2 was on a friggin cart :(

 

[MrCarter]

Capcom port quality is on point. Definitely trying these out soon. What were those mini-games at the end?

 

[Jiggy]

I'll rebuy Revelations 2.

Playing it again with Gyro controls should be neat.

I'll prolly skip on 1 though.

 

[maximumzero]

So is Rev2 a download code or just a download that's triggered from the in-game menu? Wondering if a rental is going to only get me Rev1 or both.

 

[Finnroth]

Is this one of the games/ports where there is only half the files on cartridge and the other half has to be downloaded?

 

[Jack Frost]

Triple dipping on 1. First timer on 2.

 

[HOUSEJoseph]

It is absolutely amazing to me that a game originally a portable 3DS game, up-ported to consoles, is now both on Switch.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

So in for both of these. Keep the games coming, Capcom.

 

[Deleted member 11637]

Can you jump right into 2?

 

[Skittzo]

The "gyro aiming" in the video looked quite worrying to me compared to the gyro aiming in BotW... like, I really hope I don't have to angle the joycon a certain way. Especially since I'll be playing handheld pretty much the whole time!

Also, both of these games have raid mode right? Which one has a better raid mode, specifically for co-op? And this will have online co-op right?

 

[Anteo]

Man i would buy this if rev2 wasnt a download code. I wouldnt mind having to download like half the game really

 

[AkimbOb-omb]

I kinda want to buy this physical but it only contains RER1 on cart and RER2 as a digital download, correct?

Click to shrink...

This is correct.

 

[Boiled Goose]

Would insta buy... But RER2 is digital only. So yeah. Pass.

Shame :/

I wouldn't mind a big download needed, but digital code means it's not physical at all. No can't do on Nintendo's account system.

 

[NateDrake]

I'm in for Rev2 only.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Looks good, I'm in. I bought RER1 for 3DS, but never finished it. Never played 2. I'll get both I think.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

I wish revelations 1 had local/splitscreen coop raid.

 

[Boiled Goose]

Worse. Rer2 is a download code

 

[Deleted member 3017]

I'm glad these are coming to Switch, but boy is it going to be annoying if REmake and RE4 never make it over to the platform. I'd much rather have those. Hopefully plans are already underway to port them to the system.

 

[RobotVM]

Yup picking up RE:R2. I beat the first one on Wii U.

 

[AkimbOb-omb]

Is the file size of 2 known?

 

[JJShadow]

I'll be double dipping on both of them, RER 2 is one of my favourite RE games ever. I've never experienced the raid mode before so I'm really looking forward to it. Is it only local co-op or online?

 

[Neiteio]

Can you jump right into 2?

Click to shrink...

Yes, you can jump right into RER2. Both are standalone stories.

RER1 is set between RE4 and RE5, and its ending leads straight into Lost in Nightmare (the RE5 prequel DLC).

RER2 is set between RE5 and RE6.

But each game can be understood well enough on its own, and the two RER titles don't have any connections plot-wise.

 

[pulga]

Picking up RER2 day 1!

 

[Deleted member 3017]

It's a monster....23.6 GB.

 

[Duxxy3]

Might triple dip. I liked both games.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Finally! A portable version of Resident Evil Revelations.

 

[Rmagnus]

Any special bundle price if I buy both? Played one on 3ds and if memory serves me it was a very decent game.

 

[Neiteio]

Claire is voiced by KIU Palutena, btw

Waifuuuuuu

okay, so november is the month I'm getting a microSD. Was on the fence because of LA Noire anyway.

 

[Skittzo]

I'm mostly getting this for the second game.

Click to shrink...

You can just get the second game standalone.

 

[Neiteio]

If you peeps like them third-party games, I'd advise a microSD card!

I bought a 200GB card the other month knowing DOOM and RER1/2 were right around the corner.

 

[ghibli99]

I have both of these on Steam and have yet to try/play them. After this thread, I need to at least check the first one out. :)

 

[Zalman]

I'm glad these are coming to Switch, but boy is it going to be annoying if REmake and RE4 never make it over to the platform. I'd much rather have those. Hopefully plans are already underway to port them to the system.

Click to shrink...

This is how I feel too. I'm glad they at least seem like good ports. I'm digging all the control options.

How much? I'm looking at a 128gb one for ~50€ right now.

 

[TDLink]

Getting 2. Excited since I've never played it. $20 is the right price for these third party ports.

Resident Evil is my favorite series overall. I love RE1/REmake, RE2, RE3, RE4, RE5, RE6, RE7, RER1, RER2, UC, DC, Mercs 3D.

Don't really care for what I played of Code Veronica, and lukewarm on RE0. But other than that, I want everything.

And I think we'll get everything. The Origins Collection (REmake HD and RE0 HD) seems like it would be simple enough to port over. RE4, RE5 and RE6 should translate well. RE7... might take some work, but honestly I think the art direction would translate well even if the performance is scaled back.

If RER1 and RER2 sell well, I imagine the rest of the series will follow. It's easy money for Capcom.

 

[FreedomFighter]

IR aiming? Hell yeah! I'm so in!

Not going to triple dip on RER1 since I have it on 3DS and Wii U. So RER2, here I come. $20 is a fair price. Count me in.
