E3 10: Resident Evil on 3DS sure looks pretty photo

Okay, so maybe "pretty" isn't the word you'd use to describe a Resident Evil title. But hey, you have to admit, it's looking good. Screenshots from the newest Resident Evil don't reveal much about the title, but it looks promising, and at least it's a more serious entry for the new handheld, compared to most of Nintendo's more lighthearted games.

According to Cubed3 forums, Capcom's newest title in the series, Resident Evil Revelations, includes such favorites as Chris Redfield, and what appears to be his younger sister, Claire. The Website also speculates that the game may be set somewhere around the time of Resident Evil 5, though that remains to be confirmed.

I'm all up for some zombie hunting on the new system, and I can't wait to see what the 3DS is going to be able to pull off visually. And of course, the addition of the new PSP-esque analog stick seems perfect for an entry like this. Maybe we should have known something like this survival horror title would have been in the pipeline. Either way, this announcement is certainly piquing my interest in the 3DS, and I might just have to sell a little more of my soul to Nintendo and put out the cash for this one.

So, Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS, what say ye?

It looks extremely impressive indeed. Can't wait to play survival horror games in 3D.

An RE4/5 style game on 3DS would make me very happy. Also, if those are the in-game graphics I am very impressed.

You are a new face (I think). Welcome to this place. I think.

The game and others do look great. I hope these turn out as well as they sound.

Hey guys. Figured I wouldn't waste time in the post introducing myself, as I know everyone's eager to get their E3 news. I'm Crystal (obviously), and I'm an intern over at Japanator. I'm currently helping out Dtoid while the E3 load is heavy. That, and I love the vidya.

Looks awesome and according to Joystiqs hands-on the visuals of RE:Revelations are more in line with RE5 than RE4, so that's encouraging to hear. Obviously the graphics aren't going to be at 360/PS4 level, but its pretty damn close, from what we have seen so far. Definitely a step up from Wii and it leaves the PSP in the dust!

People probably are rather jealous of you doubly, for not only being at E3, but you're an intern at Japanator, and you're posting front-page news.

Okay, triply-so. But still! Welcome to the site and junk. :P

This looks pretty damn good for a DS game but where's my PSP RE they promised us?!
I gotta admit, the 3DS is looking pretty sweet. I owned a DS for a few months and played the thing a total of like 3 hours. It just wasn't for me. All I played was Tetris and Viewtiful Joe. Not that the games were bad just not great enough to steal my time from my other consoles. 3DS is looking mighty sharp though. I'm gonna watch out for this thing.

@KdWthThegldnarm

You realize the 3ds is the next generation of handhelds from nintendo and not a different version like the dsi right?

Anyway, those are some really impressive graphics, especially when you consider that this is a launch title.

It's about time for some more Claire action. All I hear is "Jill sandwich" this and "master of unlockpicking" that. Claire went to the coldest place on earth, and kicked ass. Case closed.

Also, this looks awesome.

Looks amazing, too bad 3DS is a ways off from actually being in my hands :'(
I'm still waiting on that rumored Wii spinoff with minimal on-railsness I heard about in April...

There is some other random sites that have a close up of the Girl's face. And in it you can clearly tell it is Jill and not Claire. It pretty much looks like RE5 DLC Jill without the hat.

You're a filthy liar. Those are pre-rendered screen shots for in game cut scenes. This is promotional material. I want "real" screens.

Oh my EFFING GOD! Yeah that is totally jill, but i think it's probably long before RE5 because she has shorter hair. Also why is she pointing a gun at Chris?!

is it me or do those look like cut scene shots, not actual game play? or is the 3ds up to par with the wii/ps2?

because when i saw some of the other 3ds games they didnt look nearly as good as this.

Call me skeptical but I need to see some real footage of someone actually playing these games to make a call. It just seems so unreal.

@fetusmilk WHY are you saying wii and ps2 in the same sentence????? If gamecube was more powerful than ps2 (see: RE4 comparison), and wii is twice as powerful as gamecube, there should be no comparison of wii to ps2.
But it definitely looks as good as, if not better, than wii- an amazing achievement for a handheld.
BTW is the rumor true that the screen is HD - capable on the 3DS?
(for those of you who use HD and better graphics interchangeably, HD just means it has a much higher number of pixels than standard def...)

I was at E3 yesterday and got to see this, MGS, and Kid Icarus. Believe it. Words just can't really describe how good this looks. Though the Ridge Racer demo I played did look like two Wii's duct-taped together, I don't blame the 3DS for that.
