SearchThisVideo: Resident Evil Revelations Collection for Switch – Is It Worth It? | RGT 85
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
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
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
Watch video from 15:00 - 18:00

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

Thanks for this review man sat in my video game store watching before I purchase 🙂
Of course I'll pick this up. But about the download thing, could i download it directly unto the microsdxc or do i have to spare space on the original switch memory?
these games are definitely not "buttery smooth"
Great review
Rev 2 suck cause they put in that dinosaur Barry I hate Barry it would've been better if they brought back Steve and he never aged Resident Evil 5 legendary that's the only time I like Chris
I didn't like resident evil 4 exactly same reason
I've beat the 1st revelations but I have no clue how to get to the 2nd game. Can someone tell me how please. I mean its RER collection. So its suppose to have both. Do you have to beat the first one first or what?
Does these games have physical release??? Help
Raid mode on re revelations 2 is so much fun
I brought both for 9.99 each what a steal i haven't played either i back off resident evil after the failure of resident evil 6.
Do you need internet and the SD card to play the first resident evil revelations?
Who is watching this video in 2020, by the recommendations
You're a monster hunter fans, so Imma make you my favourite youtube channel. ✊
Resident evil colections 1
Why are you hating on capcom
I like Rev 1 more, it has the framework of a classic RE game, even if it's more action rather than survival horror
Does RE revelations 1 have split-screen co-op where two people can play on the same switch console with 2 controllers?
What makes me love residents evil revelations THE THIC JILL
Still can't believe revelations was also on 3ds and I beat it. It is the best looking game on 3ds hands down
How do u not like 4!?…
Both are on Sale on Nintendo Shop Online. Not sure if I should get them, anyone playing this on 2020????
I have actually just picked up a copy of both revelations 1 and 2 for my switch luckily caught them on sale for 8 bucks a piece on the e shop for a Halloween sale. I have always been a huge resident evil fan since i was a kid but for some reason never played these 2 games and just to know I get to experience it on the go and at home on the big screen is awesome and watching this review has me pumped even more now to experience these two games!

It's so hard to dodge in this game and it doesn't help that I suck at RE games already.
Don't underestimated Moira Burton.Her crowbar is stronger than there dagger.
I really loved revelations 1 got the 2nd one today for 7$
@RGT 85 are there spiders in revelations ? 😮
People love revilations if re6 was called revilations it would of been loved. Something for everyone like you said
