SearchThisVideo: Resident Evil Revelations Collection for Switch – Is It Worth It? | RGT 85

Watch video at 00:00

if you watch my Nintendo switch is going

to drain my wallet in November video you

would know that the last game I talked

about was Resident Evil Revelations

collection now this is consisting of

Resident Evil Revelations one and two on

the Nintendo switch and honestly Capcom

has been pretty weird on the Nintendo

switch Capcom has been pretty weird in

general when it comes to games you know

I was around

I'm obviously an older dude I was around

when Mega Man was at its peak Street

Fighter was at its peak Resident Evil

was at its peak and honestly it's kind

of sad for me to see what Capcom has

become and just their poor

decision-making but so far on the switch

they've sort of been doing that same

sort of decision-making a lot of games

have been skipping the platform which is

unfortunate but we did get Ultra Street

Fighter 2 and although that did you know

play on to my nostalgia I still enjoyed

the game a lot because it's one of my

favorite fighting games of all time now

Resident Evil Revelations is a game I'm

very familiar with I originally played

the 3ds version and reviewed it for a

smaller website that I was working for

back in the day and I absolutely loved

the game so I was very excited to see

this collection come to the Nintendo

switch and Capcom hooked up a review

copy of the game consisting of both

Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 for

the Nintendo switch so what are these

games all about how do they run on the

Nintendo switch and is this something

that you should potentially add to your

Nintendo switch library let's find out

and talk about these games and review

them where's the evil revelations 1 & 2

for the Nintendo switch

[Music]

so obviously this is two games and

covering two games in one review is

going to lead to a lot of content so

basically the way I'm going to do this

review is first we're going to talk

about revelations one then we're going

to talk about revelations two we're

gonna talk about things I like and

dislike about both games and then come

to a final conclusion so Resident Evil

Revelations 1 originally released back

and I think 2012 on the Nintendo 3ds and

was ported to other platforms eventually

such as the ps3 the Xbox 360 even the

Wii U got a version of it and at that

time Resident Evil was sort of in a funk

for me because I was not a huge fan of

Resident Evil 4 I loved it as an action

game don't get me wrong but as a

survival horror game it just sort of you

know transition to more of an action

orientated game and I sort of missed

that survival horror stuff Resident Evil

5 I just was not a fan of so rather the

Evil Revelations actually resonated with

me really well one of my favorite games

for the 3ds because they managed to

combine both the survival horror genre

that they you know grew up on

essentially with Resident Evil and then

that new action style with really in the

same game and it just made it work well

whether you're playing is Jill who is

more of a survival horror style or Chris

who's definitely a faster praise more

action style more gun heavy style

there's a lot to love about this game so

the basis of the story is Jill go

searching for Chris on this boat but

then we find out that hey this was just

a clever ruse and there's zombie

creature things that are mutating and

Chris isn't on the boat after all he was

Watch video from 03:00 - 6:00

in another place completely so now Chris

has to go after Jill and that's really

the basis of the story I'm not gonna get

too heavy into the story I want you guys

to experience it for yourself because

it's a pretty solid story honestly and

the way where as an evil revelations

work like I said when you're playing is

Jill you're playing as two different

characters throughout the story and it's

sort of broken up into like TV segments

you switch back and forth between the

characters and they're very distinct

gameplay styles jill is definitely more

of an old-school classic Resident Evil

style low ammunition you know tight

corridors tense situations where when

you play as Chris and those characters

it's definitely more high action you

know a lot of gunplay a lot of bullets

flying all over the place and I really

like the way that it breaks up the

gameplay it's really something for

everyone within this game and

that's what makes it really good and

that's what makes it really stand out to

me there is sort of a team mechanic in

this game but they didn't really expand

upon that until Resident Evil

Revelations 2 the whole team mechanic in

this game is essentially you just have

an AI controlled partner who can help

you with basic puzzles and whatnot but

he's just marching to the beat or her

beat of their own drum and they don't

really you don't really have any control

over them or anything so they do help

sometimes but honestly sometimes they

just piss you off because they're like

hey you should probably shoot this enemy

because I'm out of ammo and they just

kind of stand there like an idiot

but honestly Resident Evil Revelations

like I said was one of my favorite 3ds

games and the switch version of this

game is just beautiful it's absolutely

beautiful they really did a great job on

this remaster it looks like it's running

at 1080p 60 frames per second don't

quote me on that I'm not a numbers guy

but it is buttery smooth and a lot of

the textures are now high resolution the

game just looks really good and

considering this game is you know nearly

5 years old if not a little bit older

it's really impressive how much time and

effort they put into this to make it

look as good as it runs and it runs

beautifully there was no framerate

hiccups or anything everything looks

nice and crisp I was really pleased with

how good the game looks both in docked

and in handheld mode handheld mode

honestly pretty much blew my mind it's

one of the best looking games in

handheld mode on the platform very crisp

very smooth there's not really any sort

of loss in graphical fidelity going from

the docked mode to handheld mode which

we do see in some switch games so my

hats off to Capcom for this portal

revelations one it is a phenomenal port

now revelations 1 also has something

called raid mode which is also in

Revelations 2 but raid mode is very

important in these games because it's

the online aspect of the game it's

basically sort of a high-octane shoot

everything and there's missions and

within these missions you can the

quicker you do want you know the quicker

you get through these levels if you

eliminate all the enemies and whatnot

you end up getting additional gun pieces

and you can customize your gun pieces

you customize your character you level

up your character there's unlockable

characters there's tons of stuff to do

in RAID mode and it's really really fun

honestly I used to play RAID mode all

the time on the 3ds I was a very high

level all the levels unlocked I was

trying to unlock all the characters you

could really sink a lot of time into

Revelations one

and that's what I plan on doing because

I want to play the raid mode more

Watch video from 06:00 - 9:00

unfortunately there's not many people

online if any people online I guess not

many people got a review copy of this

game but it did seem like RAID mode

worked well when I played in solo mode

so hopefully the online holds up now

what's nice about the switch version of

this game is that you can play in local

co-op as well both in raid mode so you

could play together

and that's really fun honestly because

local co-op just seems to be sort of a

dying breed nowadays so really nice

addition to the Nintendo switch version

of this game I believe the local co-op

is actually exclusive to the Nintendo

switch version they also included new

minigames there's a new minigame in both

Resident Evil Revelations 1 and

Revelations 2 the revelations 2-1 looks

a lot cooler but I haven't unlocked it

yet it's like a berry in ghouls and

ghosts style thing the Resident Evil

Revelations one thing is just a simple

shooter but you do earn experience

points BP that you can use in the raid

mode version of the game which is the

online component like we just talked

about so honestly a beautiful package a

beautiful package you're gonna get a lot

of gameplay out of Resident Evil

Revelations 1 it looks great sounds

great

runs great and plays great on the

Nintendo switch and it's a great game

you know it's a fantastic game one of my

favorite games on the 3ds and I'm glad

to have it on the Nintendo switch now as

familiar as I was with revelations 1

revelations 2 never played it I don't

know why I never played this game for

whatever reason and I don't know there I

know there was a lot of DLC that came

out with Revelations 2 and maybe that

turned me off a little bit to the game

but I never picked it up on any platform

that it came out of but now it's on this

dual pack so I figured hey you know this

is a perfect time for me to check it out

thankfully all of the DLC is included in

this version of the game so that's

really cool right off the bat you know I

like that aspect now Resident Evil

Revelations 2 feels very different from

Resident Evil Revelations 1 so

revelations 2 has you playing as either

Claire Redfield who is on with Barry

Burton's daughter in some weird thing

where they get like taking over and they

get taken hostage and you're fighting to

get out and then Barry time later goes

in searches for Claire and his daughter

and meets up with this strange little

girl and it's kind of weird but honestly

I got a sort of feeling of the last of

vibe from this game because unlike in

Revelations one where your character can

stand on their own your AI character can

stand on their own your character your

AI character in this game is much weaker

you know the person that Barry's

daughter that's with Claire is very weak

she doesn't want to use any weaponry she

only uses a crowbar

the little girl uses a brick so it's

really a big difference from revelations

one I'm not quite sure if I like it

better but it is different and you know

like I said I got some last of us vibes

especially playing asbury with the

little girl and whatnot and another

major change from revelations one is now

you can switch between the characters

and you'll have to do that in order to

solve certain puzzles and whatnot it

does feel a little bit tacked on

honestly but it's okay in my opinion you

know it gets the job done and the story

seems interesting enough I didn't like

Watch video from 09:00 - 12:00

that we sort of revisited the same sort

of areas with both characters I would

have liked to have seen different set

pieces for the individual characters

like we saw in Revelations one but

revelations 2 seems ok one thing worth

noting is the control scheme from

revelations 1 to Revelations 2 is a bit

different so if you're switching back

and forth between the two games it can't

be a little bit annoying revelations 2

though I did like it it's definitely a

different style it's definitely a

different field now as far as graphical

graphics are concerned with this game it

does not look as good as revelations 1

in my opinion they went with sort of a

different art style maybe a little bit

more realistic and this game does not

run at 60 frames per second I don't

believe it looks more like 30 frames per

second to me once again don't quote me

on this I'm just going off my eye I'm

not a numbers guy but I definitely think

revelations 1 looks cleaner that's not

to say revelations 2 looks bad it's just

sort of different and it's a little bit

slower paced it feels like with all of

the characters whereas in Revelations 1

you had those two distinct feelings

revelations 2 not so much Claire does

have that sort of survival horror feel

to her but it's definitely not as

prevalent as it was in the first game

now once again the game has raid mode in

it which is another important aspect of

the game and once again there was like

nobody online but raid mode in this game

does feel good once again it doesn't

look as good as revelations one of my

pain

but it's definitely playable and I'm

definitely interested to see you know

how this is expanded upon because the

weapon system seems a little bit

different it seems a little bit more

in-depth it seems like there's more

stuff to unlock in this version of raid

mode and everything that you do in the

single-player is then accessible in the

raid mode as well with BP and whatnot so

honestly it's a good-looking game you

know not as good as the first game in my

opinion but it looks good enough

it looks fine running on handheld mode

once again not as good as revelations 1

but still pretty solid I'll have some

footage of it on the screen now there's

a couple things about Revelations 2 that

I didn't like um I felt that the

difficulty was kind of all over the

place and the game wasn't very clear

sometimes about where I needed to go and

whatnot but the biggest problem I had

with it honestly was the fact that when

you're injured the screen sort of does

this red thing and it just kind of

pulsates and it's really annoying

in Revelations 1 the screen just goes

kind of red when you're injured and you

know it disturbs your vision but it's

not that like annoying sort of thing

it's kind of like oh I'm hurt I need to

get some health whereas Revelations 2

isn't like that I'm like dude chill out

with this you're giving me a seizure

here and there's a lot of changes from

Revelations 2 from 1 to 2 that I just I

just felt like you know it felt a bit

unnecessary I think if they would went

with the same sort of path that

revelations one had revelations 2 would

have been a better game because of it

I'm not saying that revelations 2 is a

bad game I just think it's nowhere near

as good as the first game in the series

which is kind of strange to me because

you would have think that would have

just built upon that groundwork I think

the story is a little bit better in

Revelations 2 there's definitely some

Watch video from 12:00 - 15:00

cool twists and turns and like I said

the dichotomy between Barry and little

girl and Claire and Barry's daughter is

very interesting it's not like they're

on an even playing field there's

definitely you know a weaker character

that you sort of have to take care of

and you learn about their backstory in

this place where the eclair and Barry's

daughter would keep captive and it's

just really interesting I really like

the story in the game but I just wish

that they would have taken the gameplay

from revelations 1 and just sort of

improved upon it instead of switching it

up a bit now as far as is this game

worth picking up yeah I mean ok if you

get the physical version of the game

it's the

the cart contains revelations one and

you have to download revelations -

revelations - is a hefty download it's

like 23 or 24 gigs but that's 40 bucks

now you can buy these games individually

as well on the Nintendo switches each

shop they're $19.99 a piece and honestly

if at the very least if you've never

played a Revelations game I think you

should download revelations 1 it's a

phenomenal game there's so much fun to

be had and it's just a very very

impressive package on the Nintendo

switch now if you decide to go the

physical route you're gonna have a good

time with both games the only reason I

would say not to buy revelations this

dual pack is if you're very familiar

with it although it does contain all the

DLC although there are motion controls

in the game as well which they didn't

really talk about because you guys know

I'm not huge on motion controls but they

seem to be done really well I gambled

with them a bit in Revelations 1 and

there are switch exclusive minigames and

local co-op if you're you know familiar

with both of these games and you've

played them sort of recently and you

pick them up on another platform there's

not much different to see here there's

nothing really unique about this aside

from the ability to play it anywhere on

the go I guess now if you're not

familiar with both of these games it's

definitely smart to pick up this pack

it's 40 bucks you're getting a ton of

content the online stuff is insane

there's so much stuff to unlock there's

so much stuff to do so much stuff to see

you're gonna have tons of stuff to do

and the fact that there's a lot of

throwbacks the old Resident Evil stuff

and mentions two old Resident Evil stuff

and old Resident Evil characters that

you can use in raid mode really makes it

fun for me you're gonna have a ton of

fun in RAID mode it's definitely a very

solid experience at the very least like

I said you owe it to yourself to play

Revelations 1 if you're a resident evil

fan you might as well pick up both of

the games because honestly I've been

having a blast with this I can't wait to

play some raid mode online and you know

just explore the raid mode more

especially revelations 2 I'm pretty

familiar with the raid mode in

Revelations 1 Revelations 2 I want to

see what all sorts of unlockables I can

get because I haven't been able to play

enough of it so yeah you know very solid

stuff here from Capcom I can't believe

I'm saying that

but Capcom did a good job with these

games and it's very it's very nice to

see these games on the Nintendo switch

it's definitely a game that should be on

your radar you know for 40 bucks you're

getting 2 games and a ton of content so

that's all I really got to say

these games it's definitely a solid

investment in my opinion at the very

least make sure you check out

revelations one because that's just one

of the best Resident Evil games of all

time in my humble opinion so let me know

if you plan on picking up this

compilation in the comment section down

below

if you're familiar with these games if

you played them on other platforms what

you thought about these games I know the

general consensus is that revelations 2

is weaker than revelations 1 and I will

totally agree with that but I think

revelations 2 is decent but definitely

not as good as revelations 1 thank you
