Bad news first -- these screens are totally lacking in their "puking zombies" quotient. The good news is, they look fantastic, somewhere between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5 quality. Then again, you never can tell with screenshots for a portable. I though Okamiden looked like ass until I finally saw it running on an actual DS. There is a good chance that Resident Evil: Revelations will look even better in real life as well, especially with the 3D turned on.
I just hope they don't overdo it with the "flying into the foreground" stuff for the sake of 3D. Anyone who's ever seen Dr. Tongue's 3D House of Stewardesses can tell you, obvious abuse of the 3D effect can really take you out of the moment, and instead force your mind to notice that you're being pandered to. That shot with Jill flying into the air towards the camera is a bit suspect.
Still, the Resident Evil fan in me can't help but be thrilled with the prospect of Jill and Chris teaming up again. Combine that with puking zombies (again, not shown here, but you can see them in the 3DS trailer) and I'm sold, regardless of the shameless Dr Tongue-ness that may come with them.

Definitely.
On the whole it doesn't look quite as good as the original RE4. Definitely some polygon loss.
Still, not bad for a first gen 3DS game. RE4 looked fantastic, but it was more or less the system's swan song. Devs had more or less learned every trick by then in terms of getting the most out of it by then. Still, there are worse things in life than having a handheld that looks like it's ready made to take on the choice part of the PS2 library.
Can't wait to see where this ties into the story.
If this is any indication the next game should not be a remake.
But rather something to finally tie it all up like we saw with mgs4
you do realize that the 3ds has less than half the resolution of the ps2/gamecube
Not for me! I fucking love that shit! I don't think they do that enough in 3D movies. Now there is a shift towards depth of field but sometime s I actually LIKE bullets flying around me or such things like that. I remember watching Freddie's Dead in the theater and ,while the actual movie was horrible, the 3D effects were great! Aside from the discoloration from the red/blue glasses It looked like things were coming OUT OF the screen! Or Captian EO, or Muppets 3D in Disneyworld! Great stuff that looks like you can actually grab it. I want THAT! Depth of field is nice but I want some pop with my 3D.
I mean, I definitely know how my penis feels about it, but I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Yes, but since its on a smaller screen, it won't really matter.
Mithrot: I think that's the point he's trying to make.
Also @UltorOscariot not at all, this looks AT LEAST on par with RE4 Wii/GC edition. In fact, the only thing graphically I didn't like about RE4 was the 360p resolution. But I guess that's a sacrifice they needed to make so it would run on gamecube.
Also, 3DS has slightly more CPU power than Wii, and a better graphics chip from what I hear.
Now, if they port over RE4 and 5 themselves to 3DS eventually (not just Mercenaries mode), that's when I literally joss my pants in joy.
Also the damn autocomplete on my iPod doesn't allow me to say "jizz"... But yeah, RE4 and RE5 on 3DS would be sick, right? i'm not much of a fan of the iOS version of RE4 (I have it anyway), and a full port, with all the FMV and everything, an actual mobile version of RE4, to 3DS would make me instantly nerdgasm.
