RESIDENT EVIL 7 WON E3 FOR ME

OH. MY. GOD.

Literally everything I wanted from Resident Evil is BACK! Hope there's a SPOOPY mansion to explore AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Glad we're long gone from the series shift that Resi 4 brought

 

[TheRed]

I will buy this for my Vive and proceed to only play 5 minutes because I'm too scared. Glad to support stuff like this being made though!

 

[Sheroking]

That'll never work!

Resident Evil 4 changed the perspective, but has A LOT in common with the other Resident Evil games.

Games like P.T and Outlast share the horror genre, but have far less in common with Resident Evil.

 

[strafer]

Confirmed First Person only.

Nope. I'm out.

Not what I wanted at all.

 

[SargerusBR]

where's the demo??

 

[Astral Dog]

hmmm,
hmmmmm
this does not say much to me, could be as bad as RE6, could be a return to horror, or something else, im assuming they just showed the creepier or more quiet parts to hype up classic fans.

 

[Soyongdori]

So this is going to be another P.T. demo?

 

[Slaythe]

Wait, does that mean no 3rd person mode at all ?!

 

[family_guy]

Looks like Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

 

[Possumowner]

That looked utterly terrifying.Had zero idea it was RE7 up until the name reveal.Superb stuff

 

[Askherserenity]

where's the demo??

Seriously.

 

[TrojanAg]

I'd wager most of the people complaining are those who weren't around to play the first game when it was released

 

[Windforce]

This style (first person horror, like Outlast, PT) just makes me shit my pants. I do not have the nerve to play them. I can play horror in third person - but not in first person.

Guess my favorites will remain the less scary, more action oriented RE5 and RE6.

But I understand this will please many ppl.

 

[ArtHands]

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.

And you can tell all these from just a trailer?

Sorry but nope.

 

[LiK]

where's dat demo

 

[Modsushi]

Really excited to play the demo. In the wake of Resident Evil 6's tepid reception it's good to see the series is seemingly headed in a fresh direction.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Capcom Unity:

Resident Evil 7 is set after the events of Resident Evil 6, taking place in modern day and revolving around a foreboding, derelict plantation mansion in rural America. Players must explore and survive the horrors within the mysterious, sprawling estate.

So, not a new continuity but a completely new vibe, tone, and play style. Interesting.

 

[KZObsessed]

The VR mode looked really good.

 

[MrPressStart]

Nope. I'm out.

Not what I wanted at all.

Artlessly try the demo... You never know.

 

[televator]

It looks glorious! Capcom y-you came back...

 

[GamingOblivion]

Is there a link for this yet?

 

[giancarlo123x]

Need demo!

 

[ViolentP]

This just sold me on VR.

 

[Illucio]

I'm loving the change, I'm even more surprised it's coming out in Fall with VR.

 

[DR2K]

This is breath of fire VI level of trolling.

 

[Seyavesh]

... I'd rather wait for the impressions who played the demo than listen to ya'll guys saying "this isn't RE, RE is action and shit".

why wait for any impressions when you've clearly already made up your mind

anyhow it looks like the RE war as per usual is in full effect so once again i must know:

is this game called biohazard 7: resident evil in japan because that would be the best

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Resident Evil 4 changed the perspective, but has A LOT in common with the other Resident Evil games.

Games like P.T and Outlast share the horror genre, but have far less in common with Resident Evil.

and how do we know that this game shares more with P.T. and Outlast than it does with prior Resident Evils? because of the first person perspective? because a lot of people up in here are jumping to some wild conclusions based on that alone

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Resident Evil was all about its characters. Not this scary horror movie crap as seen on the boxart. I see a lot of people rejoicing it but all they took was P.T and made it into RE. Fuck that.

 

[ZROCOOL]

Capcom hand over the demo!!!

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Holy shite I'm so excited! This looks scary as hell. RE is back!!!

 

[jmdajr]

Woah

 

[mugurumakensei]

Don't say demo out now if the demo ain't out!

 

[Seik]

OK...

OK...

Ok...Where dat demo? WHERE DAT DEMO? D:

 

[Ralemont]

Uhhh. Hm. Guess I'll play the demo and see what I think.

 

[1337Sauce]

I'm loving the change, I'm even more surprised it's coming out in Fall with VR.

It's coming out January 2017?

 

[How About No]

gamersyde http://www.gamersyde.com/news_e3_resident_evil_7_annonce-17993_en.html

When I see this pic I can't imagine anyting but the RE1 door opening sounds, so I'd say this direction is going gud

 

[OrbitalBeard]

OH wait, a demo??? Yes!!!

Just like God of War, I'm loving this change of direction. It's great to see long-running IP go to new places.

 

[Seven Force]

I'll wait and see. Ideally, something along the lines of Revelations 2 with a AAA budget would have happened, but I'm fine with a soft reboot, too.

Figured it was RE as soon as the person acquired the VHS tape. The item icon appearing on the screen just felt so REish.

 

[Gaz_RB]

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

And it's still gonna sell like hot cakes.

I knew when he opened the pot. Classic RE gross shit in a pot.

 

[Soyongdori]

First person Resident Evil game? Well.... that's bold move... can't say I'm that excited about it.

 

[ArgyleReptile]

Confirmed First Person only.

I'll try the demo but I think I'm going to nope out on this one. Hell of a title to experiment on Capcom.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Optimistic for this. Hope it's as close to a reboot as they can make it, new characters and everything. Capcom saw the series was stalling, good on them for chainging it up.

 

[microtransaction]

Looks tight, I haven’t been this interested in a Resident Evil game in a long time. Absolutely looking forward to this. However, I’m not felling the change of perspective at a 100%. Nonetheless, I’m definitely in!

 

[Village]

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.

there is no couple, there is one. There is one bad game.

 

[aBarreras]

I'm loving the change, I'm even more surprised it's coming out in Fall with VR.

January 2017

 

[TheJollyCorner]

RE needs a shake up. This looks great!

Also- love seeing Capcom picking up the ball that was dropped by #FucKonami with the PT influence. Take advantage where Konami failed, Capcom!

 

[The Reloader]

As a fan of the old school RE (and RE4), I'm glad the 5/6 era looks to be dead. Even if it's not old-school gameplay it's still looks much better than what we've gotten in the past 8 years.

 

[Kyonashi]

I'm loving the change, I'm even more surprised it's coming out in Fall with VR.

It's not, it's January 2017. Still a decent timeframe imo.

 

[blame space]

how do you get the demo

 

[F0rneus]

there is no couple, there is one. There is one bad game.

RE5 is still good though
