History VideoGame / ResidentEvilRevelations

* NeverTrustATrailer: The early trailers both imply that Rachel [[spoiler:is alive and is an important character,]] and that [[spoiler:Chris is the man in the chair. In the game, it's merely a mannequin planted to trick Jill and Parker into getting gassed.]] They also show a figure with a model identical to HUNK; this presumably was a placeholder for a different character.

* TimeBomb: Although there are no genuine ''time bombs'' in the game, [[spoiler:there are two timed segments, both when the Regia Solis satellite prepares to fire at the Zenobia, and to escape the Zenobia before it sinks.]]

* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: At the end of the games, the fates of various characters are revealed, such as [[spoiler:Quint and Keith, Parker, Chris, Jill, O'Brian and Jessica.]]

* RunningGag: [[ResidentEvil2 Chris runs off and a main character]] [[ResidentEvilCodeVeronica ends up getting involved in a biohazard trying to find him.]]

* ShoutOut: Several fans have pointed out that the banner has a quote from [[TheDivineComedy Dante's Inferno]]. [[BilingualBonus 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.
** The Veltro Corporation's name. Again, this is another reference to the Divine Comedy, Veltro is the Italian word for greyhound, their crest has a greyhound on it, and the Greyhound is in the first Canto and is supposed to be good.
** "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." -the Veltro terrorist leader, quoting the third Canto.
** Veltro makes reference to being "messengers from the depths of the Inferno." Inferno is the Italian word for Hell and also the title of the first book (34 Cantos) of the Divine Comedy.
** "I know not who thou art, nor by what mode thou hast come down here by." -The Veltro leader, quoting the thirty-third canto.
* ShoutOutThemeNaming:
** TheDivineComedy:
*** The second Canto of The Inferno has an angel named Rachel.
*** The second Canto also has an angel named Lucia. Lucia sounds quite similar to Luciani. Lucia is described as being the "foe of every cruelty" and Parker Luciani is described as having a one track mind when fighting terrorists.
*** Veltro being a reference to the Greyhound of the first Canto.
*** Farfarello, the invisible Hunter subtype, are named after a type of demon in the story.
** History:
*** The Queen Zenobia: Named after a queen named Zenobia.
**** It also resembles the name Zenobius of Florence, who was said to be able to brought the dead back to life.
*** The Queen Septima: Named after the similar name that both Zenobia and Odaenathus had.
*** The Queen Olethea: Named after Odaenathus.

* TimeBomb: Implied.

* UndyingLoyalty: Jill is dedicated to finding Chris, despite the storm and insane scenario she gets sucked into. (The second trailer.)

* WeaponOfChoice:
** Jill has a pistol, knife, and (in one screenshot) a submachine gun with a bayonet.
** Parker has a pistol, axe, and shotgun.
** Chris has a pistol, knife, and shotgun.
** Jessica has a rifle.
** The Veltro guy has a pistol.
** Keith has Kukris.
** Vester has a pistol.
* WhatTheHellHero: Jill to Chris, who seems to be up to some nefarious plot- hence the YouWontGetAwayWithThis she pulls on him. (The first trailer.)
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: 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.
* XMeetsY: The standard enemy, the Ooze, is described as being like a squid, [[{{Futurama}} Zoidberg]], and/or [[ResidentEvil4 Regenerators or Iron Maidens]] mixed together.

* {{Chiaroscuro}} / UnnaturallyBlueLighting
* ClosedCircle: Jill and Parker are stuck on the ship because the boat that took them out to it blows up.
** Chris and Jessica are brought out to the Queen Zenobia by helicopter. Then the storm hits.
* FriendlySniper: Jessica.
* {{Cthulhumanoid}}: The enemies revealed thus far in the ship portion of the game.

* DeadpanSnarker: Parker.
* DeadWeight: One of the enemies explodes. It's bulbous.

* DullSurprise: Jill veers into this during the second trailer and the fourth trailer.
* EarlyBirdCameo: In the second trailer, Vester shows up for only a few seconds. In the third, Quint and Keith are also only onscreen for a few seconds.
** Also, Kirk the helicopter pilot from the early levels of [[ResidentEvil5 RE5]] [[spoiler:shows up to evacuate Chris and Jill from the sinking Zenobia.]]

* EvilSoundsDeep: Il Veltro.

* ForDoomTheBellTolls: The second trailer has a large bell on the exterior of the ship. The Gamer's Day trailer also has the sound of a disembodied bell. Who it is for [[WildMassGuessing is anyone's guess.]]

* FreezeFrameBonus: If one pauses the second trailer, Parker's watch says that the time is 7:50 when they get on the ship.
** The Gamer's Day trailer has Jessica in her wetsuit, in the casino on the ship, holding a smoking gun and breathing heavily. [[WildMassGuessing Make of it what you will.]]
** During Rachel's extended trailer, if watched carefully during the following scenes where [[spoiler: Rachel is being held up by the neck by an Ooze, and where she is thrown to the window after being bitten, Jill can be seen watching in the background.]]
** In the very spoiler heavy trailer, [[spoiler: Parker and Vester can be seen working together while on the Queen Zenobia. Despite Vester wearing a similar outfit to what he wore during the Terragrigia Panic, Parker is wearing his wetsuit, so that places it during the Queen Zenobia mission.]]

* GasMaskMooks: At least one in each of trailer. They are important characters, though.

* GunAccessories: Bayonets (first trailer) and custom gun parts.
* HatShop: Jessica wears an ushanka (Russian fur cap) and Chris wears a knit wool cap. [[JustifiedTrope They're hiking though a mountain during a snowstorm.]]
** Jessica's FBC uniform also has a hat.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Quint and Keith

* ICanStillFight: Vester says this at one point.
* ImprobableHairstyle: Raymond Vester and Rachel, in particular. Rachel's hair covers both her eyes. It's subverted for Vester, since that hairstyle is entirely possible if one has hair dye and their hair is thick and curly, but people act like it's anime-esque.

* ItWasADarkAndStormyNight: Guess what the weather has always been shown as being for this game?

* KillSat

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The exchange with Keith and Quint at the computer in the Gamer's Day trailer.
* {{Leitmotif}}: There's a main melody interwoven throughout most of the trailers.
** There's also tracks that act as leitmotifs for specific characters, including Raymond, Rachel, and O'Brian.
* MeaningfulName:
** Il Veltro ("Greyhound" in Italian)
** The Queen Zenobia
** Terragrigia ("Grey Earth" in Italian)
** The Ooze
** Rachel
* MexicanStandoff: In the first trailer, Chris and Jill are pointing guns at each other. Jill's also pointing a gun at the guy who's tied up. Since the later games focus on UsefulNotes/GunSafety, that implies ''they are ready to kill each other.''

* NeverTrustATrailer: The first trailer implies that it's Chris in the chair. It's revealed at the end of the trailer that it's really a guy with an English accent.
** The second trailer implies that Chris and Jessica are on the ship. Then it's revealed they ''may'' be hiking on snowy mountains when the BSAA loses contact with them, not the ship.
** The fourth trailer (the one that focuses on Rachel), seems to imply both that Rachel is alive (Jill saying "I found a survivor") and that Rachel is dead (Parker saying "Who was she" instead of "Who is she"). It is later revealed in the extended version of the trailer that, yes, she is dead. [[spoiler:More info reveals that she becomes a monster.]]
* NiceHat: Chris gets a stocking cap and Jessica gets a fur hat.

* OddNameOut: Rachel's the only character without a surname and the Veltro guy (referred to as Il Veltro in the Gamer's Day trailer) is not given a name.
* OminousLatinChanting: The extended fourth trailer, when showing that Rachel is dead and the Veltro guy has Chris tied to a chair, has ominous chanting in the background.

->"Where are you, Chris?" -Jill Valentine
->"We are Veltro, vengeful messengers from the depths of the Inferno!" -Veltro leader

A ''ResidentEvil'' game for the {{Nintendo 3DS}}. It apparently promises to return to the roots of the series in lieu of the ThirdPersonShooter genre it later shifted to. 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. Their tugboat that brought them there gets blown up...

* AbsoluteCleavage: Rachel

* AnAxeToGrind: Parker
* BackFromTheDead: The Veltro corporation as of 2005.

* BayonetYa

* BilingualBonus: The second trailer has a banner with red wording on it. It is a quote from the original [[TheDivineComedy Dante's Inferno]], which is in Italian.
* BlindingBangs: Rachel. Not the best choice of hairstyle, given the [[ZombieApocalypse current situation]]...

* CaptainObvious: "I'm fine, but something's not right here." -Jill, after being placed in a random bedroom, waking up, and fighting several of the squidlike creatures.
* ChainsawGood: Inverted

* ColdSniper/ FriendlySniper: Jessica is one of the two, though it's hard to determine which before the game comes out. (Unlike the other new characters, she doesn't really get a snippet explaining her personality type.)

* BaitAndSwitchCredits: The first trailer implies that it's Chris in the chair. It's revealed at the end of the trailer that it's really a guy with an English accent.
** The second trailer implies that Chris and Jessica are on the ship. Then it's revealed they ''may'' be hiking on snowy mountains when the BSAA loses contact with them, not the ship.
** The fourth trailer (the one that focuses on Rachel), seems to imply both that Rachel is alive (Jill saying "I found a survivor") and that Rachel is dead (Parker saying "Who was she" instead of "Who is she"). It is later revealed in the extended version of the trailer that, yes, she is dead. [[spoiler:More info reveals that she becomes a monster.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: If the trailer is to be believed, [[spoiler: Parker Luciani does this to make sure Chris and Jill get out of the ship before everything on the inside collapses around them and the ship sinks.]]

* MsFanservice: Rachel

* WildMassGuessing: It's currently spawning quite a few wild fan theories.
* WordOfGod: One interview says that the gas mask guy in the trailer is very important. Turns out he's the presumed leader of a terrorist group named Veltro.

* DeadpanSnarker: Parker

* ImprobableHairstyle: Raymond Vester and Rachel, in particular. Rachel's hair covers both her eyes.

* InvisibleMonsters: Invisible Hunters in Quint and Keith's portion of the game.

* ShoutOut: Several fans have pointed out that the banner has a quote from [[TheDivineComedy Dante's Inferno]]. [[BilingualBonus In the original Italian.]] Specifically, the line is "Infin che il veltro verra, che la farra morir con doglia."

** "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." -the Veltro terrorist leader

* TakeThatScrappy: Rachel, who was pretty much disliked from her introduction, [[DroppedABridgeOnHim is quickly killed off]] in a trailer, just as Jill enters the scene.
