[Already Torn]

I like 6 so you're already wrong.

I'm really sorry, but you're wrong. Just look at the new direction they're taking things!

 

[Nemesis_]

where is the fucking demo what is wrong with capcom since when did NOW mean tneidfhdunj

 

[Snaku]

No, man.

No.

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

Can you throw a dumpster fire into a dumpster fire?

 

[Octavia]

Seems like this is becoming a theme with games this E3. Again, I really like what's happening here and would rather see this than a retread on where 6 left us. However, why is this Resident Evil? Why not get rid of that tired story and just make this a new IP?

 

[carlsojo]

Just my two cents as someone who's loved these games since my parents let me rent RE2 on the N64: I loved the horror aspects, and RE4 was my favorite of the series. RE5 wasn't the worst, but it was a step in the wrong direction. 6 was just awful. There are plenty of good action games. Give me a good survival horror game. Give me RE7!

 

[Dominator]

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

It's really not.

 

[RecRoulette]

If PT didn't exist I would be heavily concerned about a first-person only horror game. Really want to try this demo.

 

[RootCause]

Watching vid. I like how it looks.

 

[fritzo]

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.

this works. im getting the demo right now. i got a japan account.

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

In reference to Wesker being dead. MP raid mode characters dont mean a damn thing. I can play as a giant teddy bear in REV2s raid mode.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

This is going to bomb so hard. Don't really know what Capcom is thinking here. This won't sell half of what 5 and 6 did.

That's fine. Trying to chase AAA numbers gave us the shitty RE6.

 

[SmackAttack]

Well if there's one thing I wanted from RE7, it was not look nothing like RE6, and it is certainly clear I got that.

 

[Mariolee]

Is it out yet on NA? I can't find it on the PS Store.

 

[The Silver]

Got bottom page'd so I'll say i again. I don't think this demo will be fully indicative of how RE7 will play beyond them both being 1st person. This demo will be more of a fully realized Kitchen, Capcom wants this to be the P.T to RE7's Silent Hills.

 

[Pooya]

Can't stop laughing. If there wasn't a RE7 mention at the end I would have never believed it. Bold move or crazy move?

It's both, but it's more crazy than bold, I think this is like the most extreme response they could come up with to the reception of RE6 and its reviews, it doesn't make much sense. They think they need to pull off another RE4 like rebooting of the series and that's probably right but not like this, Capcom just doesn't have those creative minds at the top anymore, this feels like oh look people on internet liked P.T., let's do that because we have no idea what we're doing with RE.

 

[baberunisei]

RE in first person only reminds me of the Gun Survivor series. Not good feelings tbh.

 

[Skatterd]

Streams going up on twitch.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Is it out yet on NA? I can't find it on the PS Store.

Not yet.

Expect to see the link pop up here a million times when it is.

 

[Khalid-S]

Capcom should have studied Last of Us more than PT. They didn't need to completely change the whole franchise.

 

[jediyoshi]

No, man.

No.

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

The mechanics deserved a better franchise, it's all a dumpster fire of wasted opportunity.

 

[Teknoman]

What? they have revealed it themselves.

-All first person
-Heavy horror atmosphere
-Gritty photorealism

That is describing Outlast, not RE. The only thing RE about that is what western gamers always clamored on about what they think RE was originally which it actually never was.

Yeah, I was there. I've been here since RE1. Those people who were upset over RE4 were morons.

Then you realize if you axe your first point, you describe REmake.

 

[BurgerDicks]

Best thing to do is make a Mercenaries spinoff to satisfy the ''6" crowd and the mainline RE is pure horror like this trailer showed. Im glad RE is back.

 

[vpance]

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

Resident Evil is finally reborn and rising from the ashes.

This has Huge Bomba written all over it.

Wouldn't be surprised if it actually ends up being a decent experience, but I bet RE8 will be yet another reboot.

 

[Seyavesh]

Can you throw a dumpster fire into a dumpster fire?

it only becomes more powerful with all that garbage fueling the fire

it's like how two wrongs don't make a right

 

[Daingurse]

"She's back."

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

As creepy as shit looked, I was honestly expecting Lisa Trevor to pop up and scare the shit outta me lol.

 

[Koyuga]

I remember when I saw Resident Evil 4 for the first time, the version that we got with all the Ganados and action and stuff, I was pretty upset and wrote the game off for being "too different" and "not resident evil", it seemed like a pretty huge betrayal to what the franchise is supposed to be.

Then I played it, and it's my favorite game of all time.

This time, I'm excited. Even more so knowing that we have a remake of Resident Evil 2 on the way.

 

[RootCause]

Yeah

Thank you. Saved me $10.
Now we wait.. And wait.

 

[Soyongdori]

In reference to Wesker being dead. MP raid mode characters dont mean a damn thing. I can play as a giant teddy bear in REV2s raid mode.

And they killed off Wesker in first RE game and never showed in RE2 and 3 but came back in Code Veronica. My point is moot.

 

[joe2187]

Best thing to do is make a Mercenaries spinoff to satisfy the ''6" crowd and the mainline RE is pure horror like this trailer showed. Im glad RE is back.

This is what I've been asking for since Mercs 3D man.

Umbrella corps is....eh...but RE5/RE6 Mercs in one package with maps from all the games is my dream game.

 

[Dice]

Then you realize if you axe your first point, you describe REmake.

Wrong.

 

[carlsojo]

This has Huge Bomba written all over it.

Wouldn't be surprised if it actually ends up being a decent experience, but I bet RE8 will be yet another reboot.

This has "selling point for PSVR" written all over it.

 

[RecRoulette]

Seeing on twitter a thing about Capcom hiring a designer that worked on PT (Jordan Amaro) awhile ago. Any way to confirm that? If so. Goddamn.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I'm just baffled that people can't even be remotely interested in ballsy decisions for the Resident Evil and God of War franchises and are already outright dismissing them. That's so simple minded.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

It's really not.

So you have played the game? Please tell me more because that is what it looks like from what they decided to show.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

I....I don't know what I'm feeling. I love that it's finally back to horror, but I also really hate that it's first person.

 

[Kysuke]

This has Huge Bomba written all over it.

Wouldn't be surprised if it actually ends up being a decent experience, but I bet RE8 will be yet another reboot.

RE 1-3= Fixed camera. Far from player
RE 4-6= Third person. Closer to player
RE 7-9= First person? Inside player!

I cracked the code!

 

[TimeEffect]

Have people played the demo yet? Is it spooky? I want to stream it so bad, but I have to sleep

 

[jediyoshi]

There's your inventory

 

[Vamphuntr]

RE inventory with limited space seems in or at least it's in the demo

 

[MMarston]

What? they have revealed it themselves.

-All first person
-Heavy horror atmosphere
-Gritty photorealism

soooo....

 

[TheJollyCorner]

This is going to bomb so hard. Don't really know what Capcom is thinking here. This won't sell half of what 5 and 6 did.

It's absolutely a bold move. Very strange for their flagship title...

For those displeased, at least find comfort in the upcoming RE2make.

 

[RootCause]

RE 1-3= Fixed camera. Far from player
RE 4-6= Third person. Closer to player
RE 7-9= First person? Inside player!

I cracked the code!

Missing Dead Aim, and Survivor. :3

 

[Strider7]

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?!

I'm right there with you man. I'll still get this but, man... What the hell? Totally not what I come to Resident Evil for.

 

[Jeels]

This is coming WAY sooner than I expected. One of many pleasant surprises!

 

[Teknoman]

Wrong.

How so?

 

[Barry Burton]

Resident Evil hasn't been Resident Evil since 2002.

This is at least far more interesting than another game like RE5 or RE6, or the Revelations games. Color me excited!

 

[Theanine3D]

"She's back."

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

Rebecca is said to be appearing in the new CGI film. Maybe she's also in this game. I hope so!

 

[TyrantII]

Seems like this is becoming a theme with games this E3. Again, I really like what's happening here and would rather see this than a retread on where 6 left us. However, why is this Resident Evil? Why not get rid of that tired story and just make this a new IP?

Branding.

You don't throw out a multi-billion dollar movie/game/others brand. You retool it to keep it alive and in mind space.

 

[WhiteWolf]

I really hope this doesn't have a paranormal aspect to it.

 

[joe2187]

And they killed off Wesker in first RE game and never showed in RE2 and 3 until Code Veronica. My point is moot.

Mutated beyond recognition, sinking in a sea of lava. in the heart of an exploding volcano and decapitated by two RPGs.

He's fucking dead.
