LOL, at the overreactions.

We've seen a tiny trailer and that's it.

Seriously. I'm really surprised at some of the reactions.

 

[Village]

Series needed a shot in the arm, the whole action movie angle it had going ran thin with RE6.

I'm very interested in this.

Re sells... very very well.

And then they released two better re games after re6 and the reason it was two instead of one is because the first one sold so well they ported it to everything and made it a secondary franchise in re.

RE didn't need a shot in shit. You notice how they mentioned this is canon, that's the " If we fuck this up, we got chris in a cage duel wielding ak's ready to go ham on some undead"

 

[Dr.Thunder]

So it is first person. So bummed right now. No matter how good it end's up being it's just not Resident Evil....

 

[God Dayumm]

If they go back to their horror roots it will be time for me to get a console

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Looked amazing!

This isn't VR exclusive, right? Sorry, I missed some parts of the presentation.

Edit - Looks like it's not.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Wonder what Shinji Mikami is thinking?

Now there's no competition for Evil Within 2

 

[eXistor]

I hope it's all new characters and go away from the clusterfuck that RE has become as much as possible. References to past events is all I want. Super intrigued by the game btw, I think it looks cool as hell.

 

[mozfan12]

Nice to see its coming sooner than expected. I thought it would be holiday 2017.

 

[Theanine3D]

How did you determine all that from what we've seen?

Yeah I don't get it, we've seen so little of it, yet people are already assuming there will be no combat, and that none of the existing cast will be returning.

I'll be extremely shocked if none of the past characters make an appearance. There's no way they're throwing them out completely.

Also, Revelations 2 spoilers

Spoiler

The little girl on the boxart - could that be Wesker-possessed Natalia? If that IS her then there you have it, characters from past games ARE returning.

 

[TrojanAg]

I love this new direction for the series. This game alone convinced me to keep my PSVR preorder

 

[Sheroking]

Honestly, the biohazard subtitle is kind of lame. Everything else is awesome. I'm excited to see Resident Evil change course so dramatically.

What?

Biohazard is the Japanese name for Resident Evil. It's just Resident Evil 7.

 

[//ARCANUM]

First person with a demo link gets a high five pls k thx

 

[yanipheonu]

Gaf, I'm gonna need immediate warning when this is up! Got some guys here waiting to give the demo a go.

 

[BakedTanooki]

Where is the demo? US store only?
I from Germany here.

 

[Kaldea]

Day fucking one. I want to be freaked out by an RE game again, even if this feels more like Silent Hill than Resident Evil.

 

[AzureFlame]

This should have been a spinoff, I'm in a shock state that this is RE7.

 

[Demoskinos]

GET THAT LINK UP IN HERRRRE

 

[Fardeen]

i thought it was a silent hill game

 

[Deacan]

Is it a reboot?

Resident Evil really could do with a clean sweep.

 

[aBarreras]

well, umbrella corps it is!, i mean, if you wanted to slap the Resident Evil name capcom could have make this a spin-off

 

[Megatron]

Wonder if the Demo will be on PS4 only?

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Yeah, so let's just take 20 years of consistent evolution and throw it out, turn everything on it's head.

That'll never work!

 

[Nothing1016]

Is it first person only or is first person for the VR

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Don't say it is out now, when it is not out.

 

[WordAssassin]

The fact that it's FIRST PERSON. Just no. It's not about that they went back to horror... it's this FPS bullshit. Get out.

This entirely new reboot is bullshit and yet it's still called RE7? How the fuck?

No old characters?
No multiplayer?
Mercenaries?
Anything related to RE at all? Inventory, herbs etc

It's a brand new game slapped on with the RE title on it.

Sorry but nope.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ANY OF THIS?!?

Holy shit this is the most insane I've ever seen GAF I think. Did everyone take crazy pills? It's a fucking teaser to set the location and mood and reveal the new first person perspective, at least wait until the demo is out before you make wild baseless bullshit up like no other characters or ties to Resident Evil or missing gameplay elements Jesus effing Christ

 

[Coda]

Anyone know when the demo goes live?

I think it took a bold step for Capcom to make RE in this way so I'm excited to see how they take the gameplay with this look and feel.

 

[ricelord]

Where is the demo? US store only?
I from Germany here.

In US, not even up yet

 

[RPGCrazied]

Confirmed First Person only.

You serious right now? Lame.

I'll get it after a price drop or 2.

 

[F0rneus]

People should keep in mind that there's RE2 coming to satisfy "that" itch. This is the glorious kick in the ass Resident Evil needed. It's the second coming of P.T.

 

[Sohaim]

PS+ here and i cant find the demo anywhere....

 

[goldsoundz]

I haven't cared much for Resident Evil since 4. Something drastic needed to be done, and I'm pleased they're riding the coattail of PT.

 

[eXistor]

So it is first person. So bummed right now. No matter how good it end's up being it's just not Resident Evil....

Why not? By your logic RE4 is also not RE. This looks to be the most RE since 1.

 

[Conflict NZ]

LOL @ the people complaining this isn't "real" resident evil. At this point "real" resident evil is pretty much weaboo anime shit. This looks amazing and a great evolution for the series. I hope it doesn't reference anything at all and acts basically like a reboot.

 

[depths20XX]

So many overreactions from this trailer. You can't tell anything about the combat, inventory management, characters, story, etc.

This series has always changed things up through the years. Look at the last couple terrible games in the mainline series. Not to mention all the offshoots.

I'll admit the title may seem a bit weird at the moment labeling it as VII but let's calm down and admit the series needed something new.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

I'll wait for gameplay. It's a trailer that shows nothing and might not even reflect the actual tone of the game.

 

[Gaz_RB]

First person with a demo link gets a high five pls k thx

2 high fives.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Nice!

 

[Mooreberg]

This is the big software surprise for me at E3. People had been wondering about this, but zero leaks. And I'm glad they are taking a 180 away from RE5 and RE6. Smaller games like SOMA have been eating their horror lunch for years.

 

[16BitNova]

Demo after the show. It's after the show, wheres the Demo?

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Where the hell is the demo?

 

[Nirolak]

Well, this was a good way to lower Resident Evil's budget by 80%.

 

[Riposte]

I'm utterly confused about the "exclusive" part. It's obviously not exclusive to PS4, but is the VR component only available on PS4?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Can a mod please put "CAN BE PLAYED WITHOUT FUCKING VR" in the thread title please?

It seems so many are still confused for some reason.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

HOW DO YOU KNOW ANY OF THIS?!?

seriously these reactions are a goddamn trainwreck

 

[Shauni]

Is it a reboot?

Resident Evil really could do with a clean sweep.

Nope, the official PR mentioned it takes place after RE6. They aren't going to call a reboot RE7.

 

[Compsiox]

LINK TO DEMO?

 

[Tadpole]

What?

Biohazard is the Japanese name for Resident Evil. It's just Resident Evil 7.

Oh... I didn't know that. I guess not so lame then

 

[redhood56]

This is going to be dope in VR. It looked really cool.

 

[The Silver]

LOL, at the overreactions.

We've seen a tiny trailer and that's it.

some gamers only know two modes, unreasonably overhhype or negatively overreact.


the people who just don't like first person games in general are fine though, not much you can do about that, beyond that we don't know shit about this game.

 

[deletethis123]

Why does it say download now but I can't find it anywhere?
