Resident Evil: Revelations: Difference between revisions

A ''[[Resident Evil]]'' game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], later released for PC and most consoles (in 2013 and in 2017 as HD versions). It returns to the roots of the series with a larger emphasis on the classic elements of [[Survival Horror]] and tense exploration, whilst still retaining the [[Third -Person Shooter]] gameplay of the newer titles. Set in 2005, the basic premise is that Chris and Jessica Sherawat, another BSAA agent, have gone missing. Jill and Jessica's partner, Parker Luciani, go on board a ship to find them. Unfortunately, things spiral out of control, as almost everyone on the ship is dead and BOWs are running amuck, thanks to a new virus called T-Abyss.

* [[Action Bomb]]: A particular type of enemy that expands when damaged and eventually explodes.

* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: The Veltro terrorist group, {{spoiler|or so it seems.}}

* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Both the trailers and the game itself contains constant references to and quotes from ''[[The Divine Comedy (Literature)|The Divine Comedy]]'', some of which the player will need knowledge of Italian to understand.

* [[Call Back]]:* The fight with the {{spoiler|mutated communications officer}} in the promenade shares many elements (gas canisters, high durability, ect.) with the battles with Verdugo and Uroboros in [[Resident Evil 4|RE4]] and [[Resident Evil 5|RE5]], respectively.

* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: In the early trailers, Vester, Quint and Keith appear before being formally introduced. Also, Kirk the helicopter pilot from the early levels of [[Resident Evil 5|RE5]] {{spoiler|shows up to evacuate Chris and Jill from the sinking Zenobia.}}

* [[Everything Sensor]]: The Genesis Scanner is a multi-purpose tool that can detect hidden items, enemy weak points and handprints, as well as somehow build a composite profile of a virus from a visual scan of infected tissue.

* [[First -Name Basis]]: Many fans may refer to Raymond Vester as "Vester," but Parker only refers to him as "Raymond."

* [[Form -Fitting Wardrobe]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]], in that wetsuits tend to be that way.

* [[Freeze -Frame Bonus]]: Many of the trailers reveal some information, such as the time Jill and Parker arrive on the ship, and {{spoiler|Rachel's death and subsequent mutation.}}

* [[Historical in In-Joke]]: The Queen Zenobia is named after a queen named Zenobia. [[Meaningful Name|Her fate was lost to history, so there are many guesses as to what happened to her.]]

* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Parker

* [[In -Universe Marketing]]: The Queen Zenobia has its' own Facebook page. It also has it's own website.

* [[It Was a Dark Andand Stormy Night]]: Guess what the weather is during the majority of the ship portions.

* [[Not Even Bothering Withwith the Accent]]: Jessica is supposed to be from the European Branch of the BSAA like Parker. Not that you can tell by listening to her speak.

* [[Not -So -Safe Harbor]]: The dreary, trash-strewn, {{spoiler|slug-beast-infested}} Mediterranean coastal village that Jill, Parker and O'Brian visit before setting off for the Zenobia.

* [[One -Hit Kill]]: Surprisingly few for a ''Resident Evil'' game; the only guaranteed [[OHK Os]] are the Scagdeads' sawblades and the underwater beasts in the final chapter eating you if you get too close. And failing the QTE sequence {{spoiler|when mutated Jack Norman grabs Jill by the head.}}

* [[Perma -Stubble]]: Chris and Parker.

* [["Previously On..."]]: Invoked by video montages at the beginning of each Episodes playthrough.

* [[Running Gag]]: [[Resident Evil 2|Chris runs off and a main character]] [[Resident Evil Code: Veronica|ends up getting involved in a biohazard trying to find him.]] Also, Jessica makes references to being owed dinner or a drink from people. {{spoiler|This ends up being a Player Punch after she shoots Parker.}}

* [[Scenery Porn]]: The graphics are at times comparable to ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', thanks to the game using a handheld-based derivative of the same graphics engine, MT Framework.

{{quote| {{spoiler|''"After what she's done to us... how many of our men are dead because of that '''bitch'''?!"''}}}}

* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Parker seems to think that Jill and Chris are together.

* [[Shout -Out]]: The words on the Veltro banner is from [[The Divine Comedy|Dante's Inferno]], [[Bilingual Bonus|in the original Italian.]] Specifically, the line is "Infin che il veltro verra, che la farra morir con doglia." It's from Virgil's description of how the Greyhound will rise up and kill the She-Wolf. Several other quotes are relevant as well, such as "abandon all hope, ye who enter here", "messengers from the depths of the Inferno", and "I know not who thou art, nor by what mode thou hast come down here by". Some of the music near the end of the game also uses the Italian lyrics from Canto III; specifically, the lines are, "Per me si va tra perduta gente" and "Per me si va ne la citta dolente," which are on the gates of Hell.

** Some of the weapons are inspired by movies. The Hydra is a three-barrelled version of Reggie Bannister's quad shotgun in the ''[[Phantasm (Film)|Phantasm]]'' films, and the Pale Rider distinctly resembles [[Batman (Filmfilm)|The Joker's]] telescopic revolver he used to shoot down the Batwing.

* [[Shout -Out Theme Naming]]: To the "[[The Divine Comedy (Literature)|The Divine Comedy]]": Parker Luciani may be named after an angel named Lucia from the book and Veltro's translated name (greyhound) refers to the name of the first Canto. In terms of history: Zenobia is named after an ancient queen, and may also refer to the name Zenobius of Florence, who was said to be able to bring the dead back to life. The various stronger BOWs are named after the Malebranche of the Divine Comedy, specifically Farfarellos, Scarmilglione, Draghignazzo, and Malacoda.

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Is it Rachel or Rachael?

* [[Tyop Onon the Cover]]: The side of the box of the North American release calls the game "''Resident Evil Revel'''aitons'''''".

* [[Viewers Are Geniuses]]: The quote on the banner, the ship being called the [[Historical in In-Joke|Queen Zenobia]], etc...

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Jill and Chris give {{spoiler|O'Brian}} a small dose of this {{spoiler|when his role in the supposed Veltro-ressurrection is revealed.}}

* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: At the end of the game, the fates of various characters are revealed, such as {{spoiler|Quint and Keith, Parker, Chris, Jill, O'Brian and Jessica.}}

* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]]: Subverted. The ship is in the Mediterranean Sea. The place Chris and Jessica are hiking is in Finland. The only problem is that both locations are rather vague and large. Terragrigia also counts.
