Resident Evil: Revelations

Resident Evil: Revelations (バイオハザード：黙示録, Biohazard: Revelations in Japan) is an upcoming title for the Nintendo 3DS announced at E3 2010. Starring original series leads Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, screenshots display hallways reminiscent of the Spencer estates of the original Resident Evil and Resident Evil 5. The game's primary setting Europe, but part of the game will take place aboard a ship in the midst of a storm

Plot details
Set in 2005, Revelations depicts the events shortly after the establishment of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), a counter-terrorism group which Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine have co-founded. The trailer that was released showed the two of them talking to an unidentified prisoner on a luxury cruise ship. The principle setting of the game will be Europe, environments in addition to the ship include a port town and a snowy mountain. Jill and her new partner, Parker Luciani are searching for Chris and his new partner, Jessica, who have reportedly gone missing during a mission. A mysterious masked man will play a large role in the plot, confirmed by Capcom at Comic-Con.

Both Chris and Jill are being led into the same trap, and each chapter will alternate between them.

Development
Initially revealed at the E3 2010 trade show in Los Angeles, Resident Evil: Revelations is being directed by Resident Evil 5 co-designer Koushi Nakanishi and produced by Masachika Kawata and Takayuki Hama. Tsukasa Takenaka, who provided the story background and in-game files for Resident Evil 5, is joining the team as assistant producer. According to Kawata, the title will see a return to the classic exploration and puzzle-solving of earlier series installments, with more emphasis put on horror.

Gameplay Details
A recent trailer, recorded last month during a media presentation of the Nintendo 3DS, shows the gameplay (camera, movement, aiming etc) to be similar to that of Resident Evil 5, but the camera switches to first person view in the use of firearms. Currently, it's unknown if first person view is optional or not.

Jill Valentine is approached by a creature with a resemblance to the Regenerator from Resident Evil 4. Revelations will restore the series' "survival horror" moniker rather than the "survival action" of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5.

Weather reportedly plays a role in the game, a feature that was originally intended for Resident Evil 5. Player skill will be an important factor on determining which events play at certain points in the game, such as how quickly the player can maneuver through the capsized ship. This article confirmed that it will be possible to move and shoot at the same time.
