E311 Media | Resident Evil Reveals Revelations on 3DS

Resident Evil: Revelations will not be coming out for a while yet, but that hasn't stopped Capcom from revealing a raft of new screenshots and information. Taking place in 2005, Revelations fills in some of the story between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, with Jill Valentine and new partner Parker Luciani on the hunt for the AWOL Chris Redfield.

Update: Capcom has uploaded the E3 2011 trailer and new gameplay sequences for the forthcoming 3DS game

Life on the sea has rarely been so scary as in Resident Evil: Revelations. In a first for the franchise, players can venture underwater - but there's no escape from the horrors even there. Capcom are promising a return to survival horror, a less action-based entry into the series, with the touch-screen used to add a new slant to puzzles and a more flexible inventory. Enemy weaknesses can also be scanned for with the new Genesis item, and players can switch between first and third person views to suit each situation.
