New details about the Wii U version of Revelations!

Capcom producer, Takenaka, shared a few details about the Wii U version of Resident Evil: Revelations in a recent article:

• The graphics engine was written specifically for the Nintendo Wii U. They did this in order to make the game “fit the hardware”.

• All of the lighting effects and filters have been rebuilt from the ground up, which improves the general quality of the environments.

• Takenaka-san boasted that there are definitely features in the Nintendo Wii U version that are not found on other consoles.

• For instance, the map and inventory is displayed on the GamePad, not the TV. Because of this, there is no need to pause the game to interact with either.

• ‘Off TV Play’ has been confirmed - Allows players to continue playing the game on the GamePad, whenever someone else uses the TV.

• Includes Pro Controller compatibility for those that want to play “old school”.

Producer Takenaka also mentioned something that might help explain the lack of a Vita version:

“With the 3DS game we were able to use the hardware to create a great sense of immersion and atmosphere,” Takenaka-san tells us. “However, we heard from a lot of players who said they wanted to be able to play the game on a big TV screen. We decided to respond to that demand.”

So it seems that from the very start, a portable port wasn’t in the cards. However, with the recent Vita price cut that allowed the system to return to prominence in the Japanese market, the possibility of such a port is not too far-fetched.

So Many Ways To Play Resident Evil

New Interview with Revelations Producer

NowGamer has posted a new interview with Resident Evil: Revelations producer, Masachika Kawata, where he talks about the HD port and other aspects related to the game.

NG: Is Revelations a direct port of the 3DS version?

Kawata: “It’s definitely not just a direct port. Not only have we improved the graphics up to HD standard for home consoles and designed it for 5.1 Surround Sound as well but we’ve fine tuned and retuned the gameplay, made a lot of nips and tucks here and there, so it’s certainly an improved experience.”

When was the decision made to bring it to consoles?

“The decision we made in the wake of the 3DS title and it was in response to the overwhelmingly positive feedback we got from fans and critics alike about the game. We realised that it would be a great idea to bring it to home consoles and expand the reach of the experience.”

On the development side, what do you think did particularly well for Revelations?

“I think we were really able to bring a classic Resident Evil feel to the gameplay. It’s got that kind of same easy to pick up gameplay style. It isn’t a super complicated game system, so I think that’s something that was a very big success with the title. I was also pleased with how we could bring enemies that weren’t zombies but we could bring them to life so effectively on the screen and make them scary. That’s something else I’m particularly proud of.”

 Newer Resident Evil fans will likely have been introduced to the series with Resident Evil 5 and 6. How will they find Revelations in comparison?

“I think players who started off with those titles, depending on what they wanted from 5 and 6 in the first place, they’ll have a different experience with Revelations. If they’re players who wanted to massacre enemies by the dozen, then that’s not something they’re going to be able to experience in Revelations so they may feel a bit disappointed with it.”

 Will Revelations appeals more to those who grew up with the older Resi games?

“I think it will definitely appeal to those kind of gamers. The ones who grew up in the late 90s era of gaming and saw those games come out in real time but our goal wasn’t to take those people, and that’s our target, we appeal to them and we’re done. We certainly had a goal in mind of appealing to people who know the newer Resident Evil 5 and 6 style of games first. We don’t want to ignore those people. So hopefully with the campaign mode and Raid mode elements, we’re going to appeal to both sides of that.”

The Resident Evil series popularized the term survival horror. Is it fair to describe Revelations as survival horror or do you see it as something else now?

“I think Revelations still lives up to the genre survival horror. Although I think we heard from a lot of users that they loved Raid mode and they played it for dozens of hours on end but I think at the same time, that’s not where the package begins and ends with Resident Evil Revelations. It is survival horror in the sense that that’s what the story’s campaign is like in atmosphere but we’re offering so much more than that at the same time.”

Is that why Revelations is set on a cruise ship? Was that an attempt to recapture the mystery of the original’s mansion?

“That’s certainly one of our aims. We don’t want to just borrow or steal an element from an old Resident Evil game and say that it’s still Resident Evil. We’re referencing the original game with the fact that certain parts of the ship will look like certain parts of the mansion. That’s kind of a fan service. You’ll walk into a room, see a staircase and you’ll be reminded of the original games but we can’t just do that and say that’s all we need to do.

The game does have its own atmosphere. I think it’s still true to the series. The game’s been out for a while so I think it’s safe to say without ruining it for people that it’s not all set on a ship. There are other settings. So while I say, we have referenced and kept important the feeling of those older games, the game is Resident Evil to the core.”

What do you see as the future of survival horror?

“Survival horror is a really popular genre but at any given time, there really aren’t that many games or many games on the shelves you can say are survival horror, certainly compared to other genres anyway. So I don’t think it’s in any danger of being overcrowded any time soon and also, as long as we keep working hard at it, we’re not going run out of ideas.

So certainly, speaking for myself, I really want to keep working in the genre and seeing what great content we can create working within the scope of survival horror in the future.”
