It looks good, problem is until the logo there was absolutely nothing about it that stood out from most other horror games. I actually thought it was some indie game like Outlast 2.

Unexpected. Great reveal.
Anyone know the song used?

I dunno. It's very easy to pick out consistent, specific traits across the entire 20 year, 20+ game franchise.
And most of them are suddenly, seemingly gone in this game, replaced by a whole bunch of clichéd first person horror game staples.
I'm gonna wait for the demo before throwing tantrums, but it doesn't look good for RE.
He'll probably love it. He likes first person games a lot.
Does kind of feel like that right now.

I'm sure that tech demo is literally all that will be in this game.

Maybe people should stop jumping to conclusions before we've even seen what the gameplay is. Fucking hell.
Hey, they said "after the show".

apparently some gaffers already know that there's zero combat, all you do is slowly walk around, no inventory, and has no other modes, all that from a teaser.

Lol i haven't had time to see the reaction to the change. So positive, negative? I am thrilled it's VR.

People being sensible on the internet? Nah.
I need to know the answer to this question.
This is literally Resident Evil in name only. RE is all about that fight or flight and the sense of urgency, that is where the horror originated.
This might as well be called Outlast: Mansion
Yeah, I'm getting really worried about RE2 REmake now. Capcom has no idea what Survival Horror is anymore, and it depresses the hell out of me.

This looked fantastic
But also like Capcom panicked with the franchise and used a PT inspired VR demo as a placeholder for the series. If this doesn't have the RE cast, it's just bizarre and misses the point. Since it is set after RE6, hope it really continues the story in the direction fans actually were asking for

When you say something is "available now", it should be available now. If not, they could've said tomorrow.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Halfway through the game Ada shows up
I don't think going fp horror will help their sales at all! They have established RE as some coop action for several years now, it will be interesting to see how much of that audience transfers over. Looking at games like Alien Isolation for example, I don't see it doing very well even with RE title.
People wanted horror back but probably not like this and more like Revelations 2 for example but better. I like how Capcom is taking a huge risk on their biggest and like only valuable remaining IP though but I'm not sure if this was the right direction.

The boxart reminds me of Lisa Trevor and the spencer estate.There is probably a lot of dark secrets to this mansion. Classic RE was about protagonists going down that rabbit hole too. I'm more worried how the gameplay will end up or if there will even be a game here or some interactive movie.
We want our Tyrants! Jk.
Dunno, but I really want to see a crazed chainsaw wielding maniac come after me in vr. :3

Not feeling it. Not exactly a real innovation in the genre either. First person run away games are old hat now. Will hold out and see if there is more to it.

That's the scary crap horror movie stuff from the time Resident Evil came out.

Not the biggest FPS horror fan (at least in the style of Outlast) but just like Alien: Isolation my interest in the franchise is enough for me to give this a shot. Looking forward to trying the demo tomorrow.
But that reveal was perfect. Had no idea at first, figured the games was called VII and that was it until the rest of the logo faded in.

You haven't even seen what the gameplay is...

If there's ghosts in this game I'm done
I would rather play 4 5 and maybe 6 if you convinced me any day of the week than the first 3.
Yeah, I'm reserving judgment here but what we've seen so far AT LEAST strongly implies something about the game.
I don't think it's unfair to express reservations based on what we saw, even if we aren't completely sure.

I'm glad people that don't like Resident Evil games finally have a Resident Evil game they want to play.
I will say this. I've been incredibly sour on RE, starting with RE5, RE HD and excepted. But the reveal teaser is so good. It gives me shivers, something I never expected I would ever say about an RE game. Not even RE4, one of my favorite games of all time.
The game as a whole doesn't necessarily excite me. But man, that trailer.

Well we have no idea what you do. So I guess we find out when we get the demo. I sure hope it's still RE. Guns, monsters, herbs

I was initially disappointed because I thought it was VR only. I didn't get any real Resident Evil vibes from the trailer but I'll reserve judgement until I see more of it. I do hope the entire thing isn't in first person though.
It it were just that I'd be on-board.
But it seems like "people liked P.T, let's do P.T". I don't think you could look at the trailer and think it was an original concept.
I hope it's a fantastic game but I just feel like they're oversteering into the "make players scared" direction. People want gameplay with tension. Resource management and zombies - that's Resident Evil. Creepy shadow figured children isn't.
Ah well. I hope it's good.

I don't mind first person horror games, but I vastly prefer third person survival horror. I'm willing to see how well Capcom does in this perspective. Hopefully my preferences will be satiated with Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil Revelations 3, and The Evil Within 2.
