Capcom refuses to rest until you can play every version of Resident Evil on the PlayStation 4, and… Y’know, we were going to finish this sentence with something snarky, but we suppose there are worse things the publisher could do with its time. Resident Evil: Revelations (the 3DS one, not its superior successor) is the latest title to get the port treatment, and it’s shaping up nicely.
Okay, okay, so it’s not on par with, say, Resident Evil 7 in the visuals department – but you’ve got to remember that this title started life on a freakin’ handheld. With that in mind, we reckon this conversion looks pretty decent. It’s just a shame the game itself can feel a bit dated – we gave the PlayStation 3 version a 6/10 all the way back in 2013.
The PS4 edition’s due out on 31st August in Japan, and while no Western dates have been announced just yet, you should probably expect them roughly around the same time. There’s some talk that this version may feature additional content, too, which we’re sure double-dippers will appreciate. New content or not, though, are you willing to revisit the Queen Zenobia?

Did you guys get my email about this subject?
This is one of my favorite games in the series. I will gladly pick it up for PS4.
Nah, I already have it on 3 or 4 other systems, no need to buy it again. Wasn't one of my favorites.
I'm genuinely surprised the line "there are worse things the publisher could be doing with it's time" didn't have a hyperlink embedded pointing to one of the many articles criticizing Square Enix
It still amazes me how good this game looked on the 3DS. Primitive tech, 240p screen, but Capcom came out with something that could have been mistaken for a PS3 game.
@RedMageLanakyn Missed opportunity!
I have it on 3DS with the misspelled Revelations on the side cover. Lol. Loved this game on 3DS. I never really gave any console version a shot.
Looks good to me. I enjoyed Revelations on the PS3, so I'll probably get this.
um the superior successor? the first one was better.
@manu0 Nah, disagree. Neither's amazing, mind.
This looks surprisingly okay, given it's originally came out on 3DS
@get2sammyb Thanks for reminding me that this exists.
Now I can sell off my near mint PS3 copy, I guess.
@get2sammyb disagree, the 2nd one is fantastic!
Game looked bloody brilliant in stereoscopic.
The best bit was the characters could do some hilarious dance moves mid fight. Forgettable story unfortunately.
Is this gonna be a download or a physical release?
@get2sammyb any idea if it will have a retail release or is download only.
@JaredJ
Same, it has its issues but it's one of the better modern RE games. If the PS4 version gets new content it'll be a must-buy especially since it will likely be pretty cheap.
@LieutenantFatman what resident evil doesn't have a forgettable story
i did not played it at all
but it looks bad
any way i enjoyed RE7 and i am waiting for the remake of RE2
that was a real masterpiece
Never played the Revelations games. Will probably never get round to it.
I've never played this but it's currently £5.82 in the Capcom sale on the 3ds so I'll get that instead.
@RoyalGuard looked it up both
I think this was always meant to be played on 3DS. Even the Wii U version felt a bit off and I didn't even finish it. Don't mind it being on every freaking platform though I just prefer the original which blew my mind to be honest.
I played the previous console port and I ended up traded it in as I thought it was much better on 3DS.
I quite enjoyed the first one on the 3DS and can't say the second one is any better. I'd still much prefer some version of Resident Evil 2 and 3 though
this is my favorite Resident Evil game but since I already played on 3ds and PS3 not playing it again
Loved it on the 3ds and WiiU. I'll triple dip of the ps4. Or, god forbid, the Switch?
I need some extra content to get me to go for it.
I've just started playing this on the 3ds and it's actually pretty good. It looks great on Ninty's little handheld too.
@Flaming_Kaiser Thanks!
