3DS demos are go

[Jarrod]

Yay, 3DS demos finally.

First up are Resident Evil: Revelations and the new Cooking Mama. Metal Gear and others coming sometime soon.

Revelations is good.

The end.

Hell mode in Revelations is neat. You unlock it by completing the normal difficulty. I like that it doesn't just make enemies harder, but revises encounters and item placement, introducing a different weapon and making enemies spawn in new locations (and more of them in general). Different ammo distribution too.

Its funny actually. As cool as hell is, I think it works best when you've already played the game on normal. Though the "oh fuck" moments are generated anyway, when you have expectations of enemy encounters only to have the game throw something completely different at you it makes for tense, surprising gameplay, as you end up fighting with your memory and planning.

Downloaded and played. A nice fun, 10 min romp, although despite Nintendo finally embracing the whole online aspect of gaming, a demo that only has 30 plays? I know it's a non issue, especially since the 3DS isn't really promoted as a console to be shared around, but it still strikes me as a little strange.

As for the game, it's pretty enough, the controls work well and offer your standard customisable settings (although I'd rather reload using A instead of herb spam). Plugged in my headphones and the sound is great. Standard RE4 onwards fare, but the 3D effect adds virtually nothing to the game. The standard settings are so weak, you're better off leaving the slider down and saving some battery, and changing the depth settings makes it so bloody strong, it becomes even worse than Pilotwings.

I'll definitely get it as I was curious about the game. Props to Nintendo for finally releasing demos. Now whether to order online for a cheap price (and get it 2 weeks to a month late) or just buy it from a store. Strange yet again, the PAL releases are earlier than the US.

1088 blocks of space is required.

Demo is as awful as I expected. Shit controls, abysmal framerate (even worse in cutscenes) and drab graphics (hello grass pop-in). A redundant overpriced game.

Shame to hear it's not too good, but I'll give it a crack. Any excuse to fire up the 3DS for a few minutes. After getting 3 again in the HD collection, I probably wouldn't be looking at buying it again on another platform regardless of how good it turned out.

I thought it was good. I've never played MGS3 before and while it does have some framerate issues, the other "issues" aren't really issue to me because I have nothing to compare it to.

And the controls are fine with CCP. Just turn it on in the options.

I'm still smitten by Revelations though. Raid mode is brilliant.

EDIT: I did find something incredibly retarded. The 3D effect disables itself while aiming down the sights. So your eyes will have to constantly adjust while aiming in stealth. I know why they did it, but this will just make me play the game entirely without 3D.

Snake has one eye! He can't see in 3D
