Resident Evil: Revelations, the 3DS-based return to the series' survival horror roots, will cost $50 at launch, rather than the usual $40. A mere 10 bucks, not a huge problem, especially once you read the explanation given to Kotaku.
"Resident Evil Revelations is an all new Resident Evil title with over 20 hours of gameplay, and cutscenes beautifully rendered in fear-inducing 3D," a Capcom spokesperson told me in an e-mailed statement. "A true console experience on a handheld device, Resident Evil Revelations is an epic title that offers both a single-player campaign for that classic survival horror gaming experience, and an additional RAID mode that can be played cooperatively or single player. To handle all of that data Resident Evil Revelations requires a 4GB cartridge, resulting in a higher price point."
My worry here is that they may be opening up seperate price points, a worrying thought. If every developer that thinks their game has enough content to warrant the extra $10 increases the price, it won't be long before every game that comes out will cost the increased amount, especially further on in the consoles lifecycle when more and more developers are using the 4GB cards.
