One thing is for certain: you should never delete the demo.

Capcom already confirmed to cease video game development to solely focus on pachislot.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Different logo?!

That's fanmade and old.

 

[Bishop89]

so do we have confirmation yet whether it is First person or not?

I hope the actual game is 3rd person and they just demo'd the VR version

 

[Dezzy]

Because capcom doesn't know how to kill off popular characters.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

No demo on psn that I can find.

It's only up on the Japanese PSN store.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

This should be a Resident Evil spin-off and they are calling it Resident Evil 7. This is my main problem.

Also apparently judging from the posts made a couple pages ago, people had no idea that this was played entirely in first person. There you go. When I made my post, I already saw that it was first person only and it is specifically designed to be a VR experience. Now you guys get it?

I seriously hope they are just joking with this calling this Resident Evil 7.... because otherwise the re-release of the HD remasters doesn't make any sense. What are they aiming for here.

 

[Soyongdori]

So it doesn't matter if it was a prequel.

They didn't try to force him in even there, and the fact is he stayed Dead in 6. There is little reason to assume Capcom will force Wesker when they can have references with characters that are possibly alive.

It matters because there was no reason to bring Wesker back in REV2 when we had another version of Wesker character in the game. Plus he's already a playable character in raid mode.

 

[Dominator]

Downloaded the LEGO Star Wars demo cause that was there and this was not

 

[Slaythe]

Oh shit, it says the whole game is in first person. And that it takes place after 6

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-14-resident-evil-7-announced-for-ps4-and-playstation-vr

Ah. Ah I see.

Well sure as hell won't win me over, bye then.

 

[joe2187]

Looks fantastic....but Resident Evil is dead now, this is a new IP with its name.
Or a reboot with a different direction.

Its not. Direct sequel right afer RE6

He stayed dead in one game. REV2 is a prequel

REV2 was not a prequel. It was directly after RE5. The intro to REV2 even shows them doing relief aid to africa after the events of RE5

 

[RootCause]

Resident Evil Survivor , and Dead aim. The last time we had first person RE games.

 

[N30RYU]

so the demo is only on Japanese PSN store ? Cant the title of the thread be reajusted ? Most confusing / misleading thread in the history of gaf.

for now. should be up in the us and eur stores in hours/minutes tonight

 

[ilMikhail]

Everybody hated that

Not me

 

[Allonym]

If Capcom wanted to revisit their horror roots while retaining their identity, why didn't they look to Dead Space? It is an example of a game that would satisfy all Resident Evil fans- you can satisfy those fans that want horror, inventory management, puzzles and key collecting while still having enough satisfying action to make the gunplay enthusiasts happy. This thing is just emulating and piggybacking off the hype of PT. I wish Capcom had a fucking creative bone in their body and this showing demonstrates that they don't listen to fans. I understand that me saying they should look at DS as inspiration doesn't result in them being creative either but this shouldn't even be called Resident Evil/Biohazard. The early build of RE4 is what they should've gone for if they wanted horror and action that still resembled RE. /rant

 

[Askherserenity]

Capcom please put it up already.

 

[Vilam]

Gives me warm fuzzies that fans of 4-6 can feel the same way about this title as I once did as a big fan of 1-3.

I'm quite interested in playing 7 - at least it sure looks like survival horror, and that counts for a lot in my book.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I just hope they keep the item management and the camp from the early games.

And bring back safe rooms with an ambient Save Theme song. That was one of my favorite aspects of Re1-4. :}

 

[kogasu]

If you log into your Japanese account, just go try uploading a game save and it will offer you two-days free without needing a credit card or anything. You can download the demo.

I love you!!!! I just tried it on my account and I got 2 days free to try on. I don't have a Japanese account though so I still gotta wait. :/

 

[Shauni]

Kinda bummed they're calling it Resident Evil 7. I wish they would have just called it Biohazard.

In any case, it looks amazing and I can't wait to see more.

They aren't going to drop the Resident Evil naming randomly. Way too big. It's even got Resident Evil in the title in the Japanese name now.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Hey Capcom. Sony. Where our demo at

 

[afternoon delight]

RE + Alien Isolation mechanics?

ErectGifOfYourChoosing or Moistpanties.jpeg

 

[Jake2by4]

There is a guy playing right now on Live From Playstation. Just search for Biohazard there and you will find.

seeing it now ugh

 

[Vamphuntr]

You know I think something is up here. Now that I've slowed a bit.

You have RE7 which was converted from Kitchen
You have Remasters coming out
You have Umbrella Corps
You have a canon CG movie coming with Leon, Chris, and Rebecca
You have RE2make coming
You also have the live action movie coming

I feel like Capcom is just going all in. I wouldn't be surprised if we do see another game like RE6. At this point seems they're just trying to fill every hole they can.

The biggest question is why call it 7. I wonder if it was a case of getting screwed over on the phanta Rhei engine and having something cover RE would be better than nothing.

Yeah I had the same question in my mind. Why call it 7? Because it will be loosely linked to the hot mess that were the previous entries story wise? I wouldn't be surprised if we do get a 6-2 at some point. I really hate the game but considering it sold a ton and the final movie at the end of 6 implied we would see more Jake I'm a bit puzzled it never happened.

Really bold move by Capcom. Hopefully it's good.

 

[mrmickfran]

I can't think of any other first-person Japanese shooters.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Looks great, kudos to Capcom for trying something different.

 

[III-V]

Its been awhile since I was excited for RE. VR is going to be insane.

 

[RootCause]

I love you!!!! I just tried it on my account and I got 2 days free to try on. I don't have a Japanese account though so I still gotta wait. :/

U tried on a NA account?

 

[Mr Swine]

I don't know what to think about the new Resident Evil. So far this looks rather like a new franchise than a RE game :/

 

[Compsiox]

WHERE IS MY DEMO

 

[Beth Cyra]

It matters because there was no reason to bring Wesker back in REV2 when we had another version of Wesker character in the game.

It was multiplayer RPG mode that had nothing to do with the story.......this argument might be the most nonsensical thing I've ever seen as a way to tear down a game or the companies ability to not fuck it up.

 

[Soyongdori]

REV2 was not a prequel. It was directly after RE5. The intro to REV2 even shows them doing relief aid to africa after the events of RE5

REV2 came out after RE6, hence it's a prequel.

 

[dragonzdogma]

American made or Japanese?

 

[LapinAgile]

What're ya buyin'? This game.... oh man this is just what the series needed that trailer blew me away. Now to wait for the demo.....

 

[jett]

Where is my over the top third person action game?!?!?!? I want the sequel to this:

Save the Outlast shit for a spin off. I really hope it is just a misleading trailer.

No, man.

No.

That awful crap should be a spinoff. And then said spinoff should be thrown into a dumpster fire.

 

[AdaWong]

"She's back."

Who is she? Jill, Rebecca and Sheva are the only main female characters that haven't been playable recently.

 

[Devilinthiscity]

Title has a '7' in it. Why will you thought its a reboot?

For one, it looked nothing like the previous installments. Also, none of the cast from the previous games made an appearance. Hell, no one knew it was RE until the end of the trailer. I just thought it was something new in the same universe but didn't directly follow anything that happened after 6. Hopefully none of the plot points from 6 make it into this.

 

[Daingurse]

With all due respect, glad this stuff is Deader than a Crimson Head.

Resident Evil is finally reborn and rising from the ashes.

Dino Crisis should pick up this torch, since Dino Crisis 2 was the prototype for all that shit anyway. God was that game fun.

I definitely find this to be interesting looking. Not sure how I feel about it as a Resident Evil game, but I'll have to play it first. Will totally check the demo out. I still think Umbrella will be responsible for everything in this one too, hahaha.

 

[Kid Ska]

And bring back safe rooms with an ambient Save Theme song. That was one of my favorite aspects of Re1-4. :}

Probably the most comforting music in all of video games

 

[Alfrays]

i'm a big fan of RE, i have all the games, the 2 CG movies, the books, the mangas … and now i'll pass 7. They made it a first person game ... what the hell capcom?!

 

[kogasu]

U tried on a NA account?

Yeah

 

[Jake2by4]

Guys check out live from playstation. Someone is playing now

 

[Seyavesh]

seriously i can't stop laughing at biohazard 7: resident evil

 

[DarkLordMalik]

so do we have confirmation yet whether it is First person or not?

I hope the actual game is 3rd person and they just demo'd the VR version

Love seeing posts like this because I am now realizing people still don't get it. The game is designed for VR and still in first person.

Capcom's attempt to cash on P.T and a huge slap to the fans of Resident Evil.

 

[jediyoshi]

Who said it is?

Why be under the expectation that a character is going to show up if it didn't occur in literally the last mainline game? What's the buffer period you need to stop being tired of something they already stopped doing?

 

[kitschykitty]

And bring back safe rooms with an ambient Save Theme song. That was one of my favorite aspects of Re1-4. :}

I'd actually really like that in VR, as a way to know it's ok to take your guard down.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Soo... is it out?

 

[Beth Cyra]

"She's back."

Who is she? Jill, Rebecca and Sheva are the only main female characters that haven't been playable recently.

Jill was pretty recent as she was in Rev 1.

 

[Team Alucard]

This is going to bomb so hard. Don't really know what Capcom is thinking here, especially considering RE6 didn't meet their expectations. This won't sell half of what 5 and 6 did.

Seems like they threw in the towel on making a competitive action game and are just using this change of direction as a justification to radically lower the series' budget.

 

[Relique]

Someone is streaming this from Japan
https://www.twitch.tv/narumi23

I didn't want to create a thread

 

[Ridley327]

They aren't going to drop the Resident Evil naming randomly. Way too big. It's even got Resident Evil in the title in the Japanese name now.

Can they even legally use the Biohazard name outside of Japan? I was under the impression that the band of the same name took umbrage with it.
