to share our thoughts on the game’s abbreviated form.

來分享我們對遊戲簡略形式的看法。

It’s the demo of Resident Evil: Revelations. And holy crap, what a first impression.

這是《生化危機：啟示》的演示。我的天啊，第一印象真不錯。

The demo picks up with Jill Valentine waking up in a strange yet familiar place. She takes

演示中，吉爾-瓦倫丁在一個陌生而又熟悉的地方醒來。她以

a quick transmission explaining her situation, and then, the game really begins. She finds

快速傳輸解釋她的情況，然後，遊戲真的開始了。她發現

the door exiting the room is locked, so she explores the bathroom to find a tool to open

房間出口的門是鎖著的，所以她探索浴室 找到一個工具來打開。

it. Meanwhile, she hears a thud back in the room. This is awesome.

它。同時，她聽到了砰的一聲回到房間。這是真棒。

The first thing you notice is that the demo is really intended to showcase the core philosophy

首先你會注意到，這個演示其實是為了展示核心理念的

that Capcom insists has fueled the design of Revelations. It plays like a modern Resident

卡普空堅持認為，這為《啟示錄》的設計提供了動力。它的玩法就像現代的《生化

Evil, in terms of its controls and mechanics. But the atmosphere, however...that’s totally

邪惡，就其控制和機制而言。但是，氣氛，但是......那是完全的

old-school Resident Evil. And the demo does a great job showcasing that approach.

老派的《生化危機》。而演示也很好地展示了這種方式。

It’s a really unique kind of design synergy, in that it brings together the franchise’s

這是一種非常獨特的設計合力，因為它將特許經營權的

present and past in a way that elevates both. And to start with the past, this demo is really

現在和過去，以一種提升兩者的方式。而要從過去說起，這個演示真的是

creepy. The action-heavy, hardly even vaguely scary feel of Resident Evil 5 is nowhere to

令人毛骨悚然。生化危機5》的動作重口味，甚至幾乎沒有隱隱約約的恐怖感，但卻無處不在

be found in the Revelations demo. Terrifying beings approach you in a strange, jittery

可在《啟示錄》演示中找到。恐怖的生物以一種奇怪的、顫抖的方式接近你。

stride, your ammunitions are at least relatively low and the music amplifies the tension.

步，你的彈藥至少比較少，音樂也會放大緊張的氣氛。

And if you’re a Resident Evil purist, you’re going to love it.

如果你是生化危機的純粹主義者，你一定會愛上它。

A big part of that creepiness comes from the graphics. Bar none, this demo has the most

這種毛骨悚然的感覺很大一部分來自於畫面。無獨有偶，這個Demo的畫面也是最

impressive graphics to date on the 3DS. Your surroundings are incredibly rich in detail,

迄今為止，3DS上令人印象深刻的圖形。你的周圍環境的細節非常豐富。

and they’re brought to life by visual effects that are just amazing for a portable system.

他們被視覺效果帶到了生活中，對於一個便攜式系統來說，這些視覺效果實在是太驚人了。

This foggy room, in particular, is stunning...and it makes you even more cautious and paranoid.

尤其是這間霧氣繚繞的房間，讓人驚豔......更讓人小心翼翼，疑神疑鬼。

You never know what’s crawling right at your feet.

你永遠不知道什麼東西就在你腳下爬行。

So the game is creepy, the graphics are incredible, but how the does demo actually play? Well

所以，遊戲是令人毛骨悚然的，圖形是令人難以置信的，但如何演示實際發揮？嘛

that’s where modern Resident Evil comes in. If you’ve played Resident Evil 4 or

這就是現代《生化危機》的魅力所在。如果你玩過《生化危機4》或者

5, you’ll be right at home in Revelations. The demo plays with that same third-person,

5，你會在《啟示錄》中找到合適的感覺。演示的玩法同樣是第三人稱。

over-the-shoulder view you’re familiar with, and it also includes the option to shoot from

你所熟悉的肩上視角，它還包括了一個選項，可以從你熟悉的地方拍攝。

a first-person perspective once you draw your weapon. It felt like playing Resident Evil

拔出武器後的第一人稱視角。感覺就像玩《生化危機》一樣

4, had the game been set in the mansion from the original. Not a bad thing at all.

4，如果遊戲設定在原作中的豪宅。也不失為一件好事。

Another interesting note from the demo is that Revelations will have a scanner, much

從演示中還可以看到另一個有趣的地方，那就是《啟示錄》將有一個掃描儀，很有。

like the scan visor from Metroid Prime. Using this uncovers hidden items in each room, and

像Metroid Prime中的掃描面罩。使用這個可以發現每個房間裡的隱藏物品，並且

since ammunition was definitely less abundant in the demo than in modern games in the series,

因為在演示中的彈藥肯定不如現代系列遊戲中的彈藥豐富。

the ability to find extra items seems like a really nice touch for newer fans.

能夠找到額外的項目似乎是一個非常好的觸摸新的球迷。

You can only play the demo 30 times before it self-destructs, but fortunately, the actual

你只能在自毀前玩30次演示，但幸運的是，實際的。

game is just a week away. And if the demo is any indication, it could really be something

遊戲只有一週的時間了。如果演示有任何跡象表明，它可能真的是什麼東西
