PS .: comparisons to handheld version you do not find in my review so.
--- --- PRO
+ The gameplay is, indeed almost Resident Evil-typical, I would say. Running and shooting, and even simultaneously. Yes honest ... At the same time ... and everything also, as always, a bit spongy, as one simply knows of the series so, therefore no downside. Then the familiar green herbs that are here and there around, nibbled, or the various weapons are selected via control pad now and then times. The control is so internalized in a few minutes, because not complicated at all. A cover system or the like are available in "RE: R" by the way not, but the mandatory melee attacks, which are sometimes more and less appropriate or turn out well. Climb over obstacles the way folds again only at predetermined locations via keystroke.
+ Atmospheric can "Revelations" points properly. Because especially the sections in which you control Jill Valentine through the game world respectively the dark ship, remember the feeling her often open at the beginning of the series and inspire mostly through dark narrow corridors, locked doors which can gradually with found keys etc. can, old rooms in the style of a manor house and sometimes smaller puzzles that are scattered everywhere, but also are not particularly demanding. Shocking moments have also also placed the makers.
+ The story is divided into episodes, which in my view provides a fresh narrative. In addition, you get presents for the start of the game or when returning to the campaign always a "story so far" video. What is odd is that even this video flickers across the screen when you're right in the game and a chapter has just finished. Because we all know yet "story so far" because one has experienced the previously happened just now ... aaaaaaber seis Drumm. Unfortunately, the story is not as content of the screamer, but more on that later.
+ The famous ratings from other Resi-parts are again one of the party and motivate or inspire quite at the Games of the renewed areas. At the end of a section, you get so ever before the nose held, how good or bad you were in the covered part, and how fast.
+ You play different characters during the campaign, which is a nice idea as with part 6. Who or what, which is of course not reveal at this point. However, it is not boring in any case with the men and women. In addition, this method is as always a good way to visit different scenarios respectively places without having to create a great relationship.
+ A new toy in inventory is the Genesis scanner with which to scan, among other substances or remains of the enemy or to analyze. Per sample some percentages obtained then always on a counter. Do you have enough stuff analyzed and the percentages driven to 100, ne `s health pill as a reward, with which the life energy can regenerate. Then the fun starts all over again almost until it's raining the next pill. Your encouragement are so pills ... the healthy and happy ... make yipppiiiiiiiii.
+ Weapons can be equipped with upgrades, which can be found throughout the levels in small ammunition boxes. Among them are the usual suspects, such as increased damage or a larger magazine. But unfortunately, you can modify the blunderbuss only at designated chests.
+ The game time is depending on the play roughly around 9-10 hours, which is quite neat.
+ The voice acting is completely in German, which is quite positive.
--- NEUTRAL ---
: Visually, "Revelations" solid. One notices the title clearly porting or the handheld at home, which I consider too. While character models are still quite pretty and lighting effects were attractively integrated into the game world, listen to the latest optical pleasure in many textures and objects decorating the premises, etc. on. These are in fact the most - especially in close-up - quite soggy and stale.
: The story I think is okay, but nothing more. Here and there it has some interesting details, is at times also a bit cluttered. For a Resident Evil but the narrative is sufficient all to keep one at the bar.
The soundscape has both strengths and weaknesses. On the whole, the effects are good and nice is that you can regulate them in the menus down to lift for example the dialogs in the foreground. Unfortunately, these are not always clean and mixed in some places suddenly too quiet.
The German voice actors are quite passable. Is beautiful for example, the lower figures in some scenes their voices and softly talk about what looks very atmospheric. Nevertheless, none of the speakers showered with fame.
: The design of environments / levels ranging from Atmospheric to bland and boring. The interior of the ship, for example, is designed to be great and shines through cold, dark steel, narrow long corridors and nice lighting effects that boost the atmosphere neat. Other sections on the other hand act only as a placeholder-scenes and are designed super dreary and boring.
--- --- CONTRA
- No splitscreen. Who was spoiled by neat part 5 and 6, which has to its possible anticipation of an ordinary coffee-round in the case of "Revelations" Unfortunately rowing back, because there is no split screen. Incomprehensible in my eyes, because most of the time one always sticks to an AI character to the jaw.
- The amount of presented opponents often enough loose to a whole city down to roll. Because in felt every room, every corridor and every corner is an enemy ... or sometimes two or three. That can really nervous sometimes, probably does not need to be emphasized. Because it is 90% only busy to collect ammunition to fail because of the stupid evasive maneuvers, to feed or herbal pills and occasionally to shoot at enemies and sometimes these to throw bombs. Also annoying: Sometimes outweighs the action or. Shooting percentage so strong that any built-up atmosphere by dozens of enemy masses and the resulting skirmishes, is nipped in the bud.
- Speaking of evasive maneuvers. So seriously, who has since this please Quark devised. First, the comic pros and Back-Moves fold almost never, and secondly they are, if they fold times, even totally useless, lurking For example, if in front and behind an opponent, which is often the case.
- The ammunition are distributed absolutely unbalanced. The Here and imported ammunition shortage in the Jill-sections, for example, is indeed quite a welcome means to something like tension and possibly even generate a little hectic. But it's really cool when I need to pump scarce ten shot from the gun in one of the many enemies so that he falls over, but may result in only 30 balls with me? Well, you can top up a little by upgrading its stock over the course of the season though, but one could make the whole more balanced. For this you will in other characters with ammunition to ges ******* and must be much again formally even lie, because you may carry very little lead.
- The design of the female characters is mostly just embarrassing. So for all their love, but what one in "Revelations" is at times peppered in deep Dekollete`s around our ears, beats in my eyes a bit over the traces. Why must Jill her super duper mega crass battledress for example have a cut to the navel? So you can breathe better? Does it serve the camouflage? Maybe the distraction? Hmm, so I do not know. Or even a great example: The first female "member of the ship's crew" as it is called so beautiful Jill what she finds at the beginning of their mission. The lady who is dressed in a skin-tight suit and located in a pool of blood, no more pieces, which is quite a shame if you look at times more precisely what happens inevitably at the sight stirs. Because what one since leaps out are not about disturbing bloody images. No, there are two things plump and a section in which loose an entire BOW would find space. MUST BE SOWAS? In addition, the model for swimwear should be virtually all female characters in this game ore than turn rivet in such a scenario with ner gun in hand BOW`s. I mean, nothing against beautiful women in videogames, absolutely not. But only ies with partly 130/60/90 moderation? That takes care of the female characters in this game, just all credibility and makes them available only as a way: Your könnts probably imagine.
- The AI partner is usually ne real Dumpfbacke and as useful as a flashlight without batteries. The shots from the AI-gun, provided the Dödel can sometimes be carried away to shoot, show little or no effect. But at least go the companion not to the ground, so that you can fully concentrate on yourself. However, one does not go himself on his knees. Means that if the life energy to end layer in the shaft. Syringes that you may be administered by your partner in dicey situations a spice or peers, and, do not exist here. This can then frusten pretty now and then.
- Meaningless action sequences such as (ATTENTION SMALL SPOILER): Chris rushes in a section at the beginning of the trip a smaller abyss down injured, somewhere on his carcass and remains prompt sitting on the butt. In addition, the good is also attacked by a million enthusiastic dogs, against which one must defend itself. Is this then managed Chris however is not on. NEEEEIN, it must only hasten his foolhardy, 45Kg-heavy model partner to help him and "help up" so that finally everything is okay again a second later. Hmm ...
- Weak opponents Design: Everything that creeps into this creepy fun through the area and flies has absolutely not hit me personally from the stool. No horror, no disgust, nothing repulsive and often also quite monotonous. Yes, some of the figures are even ridiculous failed a bit in the optics. So you realize very clearly, the thing here is from 16th
- The camera sticks again much too close to the back of the character, with the result that it can be quite confusing from time to time.
- No idea why, but the game is packed with thousands loading screens. Annoying, mood-killer, incomprehensible.
- True to the series: Extremely annoying bosses who usually just eat and nervous only time.
--- OTHERS ---
- The RAID mode is quite nice and offers variety to the campaign.
- Online-MP
CONCLUSION:
"Resident Evil: Revelations' has its moments and certainly also has some good points, such as the sometimes pleasant atmosphere of Urtitel, but which is not always noticeable. In addition, there are smaller collection tasks, some nice puzzles and the narrow arms Tuning. The narrative style is also quite acceptable, just as the German VO. However, "Revelations" also neatly fades meat broken the bone, such as Strunz stupid AI allies that pesky (Boss) opponent, the unbalanced ammunition distribution, no specific injury at enemy hits, a weak monster design and many loading screens which any mood do. Here to give my humble opinion so the Pro`s and Contra`s the jack in hand, hence 3 stars.
