Resident Evil Revelations takes place between the events of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, starring Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield (with a cast of newcomers) as they try to prevent a new bioterror threat from infecting the oceans with a virus. Reviews weren’t spectacular, but they were certainly positive. The game went a long way towards proving that classic style Resident Evil influences mesh well with more modern, guns-ammo based gameplay. Resident Evil Revelations isn’t a big deal in terms of series canon, of course, but it’s super important nonetheless. Still, if you want another slice of 1080p, old-school-inspired Resident Evil action-with all-DLC-included-from-the-off action- Resident Evil Revelations launches on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Aug. They've also spoken about a Resident Evil II remaster, though fans have been waiting almost two years for that.

Recently, the publisher remastered original Resident Evil, and prequel Resident Evil Zero already available for download. This isn't really new grounds for Capcom though. The game has since been ported to PC and last generation consoles, but finally, Capcom announced it’s also on its way to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in August. In its place, Capcom injected more of that traditional foreboding atmosphere and sense of dread that the original trilogy was known for.

It retained the over-the-shoulder, third-person-shooter controls of modern Resident Evil titles, but set aside the action movie bravado and ridiculousness like Chris Redfield-with arms the size of the Chrysler Building-punching a boulder and shattering it. In 2012, Capcom started to give long-time fans what they craved with Resident Evil Revelations, originally exclusive to the 3DS.
