E3 2011: Resident Evil Revelations screens and trailer

Although it won't be here until next year--RE fans will have to make do with Mercenaries 3D for now--there was some nice new media for Resident Evil Revelations at E3 today. The game continues to demonstrate how graphically powerful the 3DS is, but more interesting to me at least is the shift in gameplay. I was pretty disappointed in RE 5's obnoxious action movie aesthetic so I'm happy to see Revelations return to the horror theme of the early games, while still keeping the controls and atmosphere of RE 4. It's also cool that you pan into first person whenever you aim.
