People who love the Resident Evil series often can’t accept it taking off into new directions. Resident Evil Revelations might have been a single player experience in the final version, but what happened if it were originally designed differently? What if they meant to take their Resident Evil 3DS debut in a different direction?

Everyone's been anticipating Resident Evil: Revelations to release with a hefty $50 price tag (we reported a few months back that due to the 4GB card size over the standard 2GB, Capcom would be upping the price). That's $10 more than the normal price for a 3DS game, which may have bumped down its priority on some of your game lists. Good news, though - Capcom's announced that despite the larger card, RE: Revelations will now be releasing with $40 price tag, just like most other 3DS new releases. That's pretty good news for your wallet (if you're planning on snagging it on release) just a couple weeks before the game comes out.

Resident Evil: Revelations will be hitting the 3DS in less than a month, and no one has a clue as to what's going on in this game.  There have been rumors of boats, ooze, terrorist attacks, and floating cities.  Today we have three videos which won't explain one damn thing, but they look cool. Enjoy.

Resident Evil: Revelations will receive a free demo from the Nintendo eShop.  We don't know exactly when the demo will be available, but since the game comes out next month, we figure it will be out soon. Capcom’s Christian Svensson mentioned the upcoming demo in the Capcom-Unity forums: “A RE: Revelations demo for NA and Europe is coming... When we have something more concrete to share, you won't be able to miss it on the Capcom-Unity blog."  

Resident Evil is a series that reflects our times; the zombies representing the 21st century obsession with epidemics and the increasing gap between the super-rich and those living in poverty. Another modern global fear is terrorism and the upcoming Resident Evil: Revelation looks ready to reflect this, if its new story trailer is to be believed. Perhaps all these theories are true about Resident Evil - but it could all just be an excuse to go around and shooting cool stuff?

Yesterday there were some troubling stories circulating around the internet concerning the co-op mode of Resident Evil: Revelations.  It was reported that the two player cooperative "Raid Mode" would be unlocked only after the single player campaign was completed.  The single player portion of the game has been reported to take 10 hours to complete.  That's a long time to go without co-op.  It turns out this is not the case.  

While the 3DS has already gotten a dedicated cooperative Resident Evil game, the next Resident Evil game - despite being single player focused - will also offer a co-op mode.  Resident Evil: Revelations will have a cooperative mode for two players called Raid.  On the surface it seems very similar to the co-op found in the Mercenaries mode in previous RE titles, though there's a few unique twists.
