This wasn’t a problem on a Television, but on the smaller screen of the handheld it feels off and unwanted. The main menu suddenly seems bizarrely designed with such tiny text taking up a little space in the upper left corner- and the rest of the screen being essentially nothing at all. The text, the subtitles, the on-screen action, all seem tiny. Nothing has been changed from a design standpoint, the on-screen design is identical to that of it’s beefier console counterparts- designed for a Television set that can range from 19 to 60 inches wide, and almost every element of this design suffers greatly on the handheld. This leads into one of the first problems you’ll notice booting up the game. No enhancements or special exclusives to this version have been made, save for a few new touch-screen controls to make up for the lack of buttons, and motion-sensitive aiming controls. Same story, same levels, same item placement. I won’t be reviewing the content of the Vita version of Rev2, as it’s identical to the other versions of the game. It’s squished and distorted– and the perfect analogy for this port.
Silent Hill: Book of Memories is nothing but the Halo of the Sun glyph, and Minecraft is simply an image of the default hero, Steve.īut Revelations 2… is some highly compressed version of the game’s box art, and it looks terrible. Most games take advantage of this by designing the icons for their games to look simple and cool on this dashboard. The Vita’s main hub menu, where you can find all of your downloaded games, apps and more, has a sleek and Apple-inspired design. The first clue I had that something was off was the dashboard icon for the game.
We never got around to covering it here on Rely, but now that we’re starting a new year, it’s time to change that and get some (very late) official word on our opinion of Capcom’s port of Revelations 2 to the handheld market.
A few months later, Capcom brought the horror-action title to handheld with a release on PlayStation Vita, making it the first new title to be released on one of Sony’s handheld systems, despite the long-awaited (and canceled) Resident Evil: Portable. Lots of little tweaks and changes really made the current gen release the best version to own. The atmosphere and detail was really realized in the current gen version, and the lovely 60fps was a real treat after being locked before. I originally purchased it episode to episode on PlayStation 3 and then upgraded to the retail version on Xbox One later- and the huge leap graphically was awesome. It still hadn’t quite captured that old school RE spirit, but it was easily the closest we’d gotten in years.
I loved Resident Evil Revelations 2 when it released earlier last year.
