Shocked at the negativity in this thread, but the fan base has been divided for a long time now.

Please remember that the last time Resident Evil tried something completely new, we got Resident Evil 4.

Different can be the best thing you ever played. Have faith.

Nah.

 

[HeelPower]

Killing characterization and going first person is too extreme for RE.

Feeling..a bit hollow..

 

[darkslayer101]

Now you know the pain of the old ass fans

I was happy with both classic and over the shoulder but....first person....

Good goooooooood

 

[Mixolydian]

As an X1 owner, please tell me this isn't PS4 exclusive

I'm trying to have faith. The game looks good to me so far.

It's not

 

[TRUE ORDER]

Don't know what to say... need more info

 

[Nemesis_]

This is going to be like Silent Hill 4 where the game started off as something else, will have Resident Evil shoe horned into it, and then won't be anywhere near as good as the games that came before it.

I'd love to be wrong

 

[OricWindstar]

Also, that's a slick logo.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Exactly. At this point they had to go hard on a new concept. People will have RE2 Remake for their classic fix. I think it's a great idea. Especially bringing it into the VR realm.

So what action fans are left with Umbrella Corps?

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Fuck. Yes.

Take a leap, Capcom.

Love it.

 

[Chairhome]

I hope it's not timed on the store. I'm out of town

 

[Insolitus]

I'm still in shock. I did not expect that to be RE7

 

[jrush64]

I have absolutely no words. Like I'm speechless. I don't even know what to think. I should probably just wait for more info.

 

[Apoleptica]

DEMO TONIGHT!? WHERE!?

 

[Mixolydian]

It's not

Thank god. I thought you might have said that earlier.

Phew.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

they've been working on this for four years...

this...

Im just...

can someone explain

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Okay maybe I lied. Hearing a demo is PS+ exclusive on social media. Gotta wait to see I guess.

Ok, not cool if true though.

As someone that hated 6 with gusto I welcome this, I'd rather have them try something new than do what they did in 6

 

[Persona7]

When is the demo going to be available?

 

[The Silver]

So what action fans are left with Umbrella Corps?

Yes, have fun friend.

 

[MUnited83]

It's not exclusive. PC/PS4/XBO.

What about VR support, is it exclusive?

 

[jblank83]

Resident Evil finally completes its metamorphosis to a full on shooter.

Honestly I'd rather this than another hotbutton finisher-fest. Let's see how it is.

 

[Nemesis_]

I was happy with both classic and over the shoulder but....first person....

Like it just becomes every other run of the mill first person jump scare indie horror game now......I really don't know what to think

What about VR support, is it exclusive?

I'd say so.

 

[ubersticky]

So it's a reboot... but it's still continuing as the main series? And it has noboy of the main cast? And it's first person?

How? Why?

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Thank god. I thought you might have said that earlier.

Phew.

I did. I was wrong on that! I was only right about the rest of the game and stuff I've predicted

What about VR support, is it exclusive?

No idea but if that's the case, that's where my source mixed up.

 

[Gurnlei]

So what action fans are left with Umbrella Corps?

They've been porting the three action games to current gen. Better than nothing.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

That was a great reveal.

Edit: I love the speculation lol

 

[Fancy Clown]

they've been working on this for four years...

this...

Im just...

can someone explain

They probably had a dope horror action game and then they saw the popularity of stuff like Outlasr and PT and said fuck it, scrapped the game, and put this together instead

 

[Curufinwe]

Capcom with the tease too subtle for anyone to notice.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Been years since I cared about a RE game but this has completely revitalized my interest in the series. Look amazing.

 

[SparkTR]

After RE6 I think I was done with another third person action game from Capcom. At least this is a departure from that kind of stale formula like RE4 was back in 2004.

 

[depths20XX]

So what action fans are left with Umbrella Corps?

Well we don't really know how much "action" the game will have yet. We haven't seen enough. I also don't get the big uproar considering the last 2 RE games were complete trash.

 

[tomato shrub]

they've been working on this for four years...

this...

Im just...

can someone explain

That's hard to believe. It looks like a kneejerk reaction to P.T. But maybe they've only designed this trailer that way...

 

[spazchicken]

So, why is the video private?

 

[Shauni]

So it's a reboot... but it's still continuing as the main series? And it has noboy of the main cast? And it's first person?

How? Why?

We don't know if it's a reboot. With a title like RE7, it's probably not. I feel like this trailer is maybe going to be end up being very deceiving, like they're baiting us into thinking it's one thing when it's actually something else entirely. Just a gut feeling on my part really.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Capcom with the tease too subtle for anyone to notice.

It wasn't originally RE. It became RE after amazingly positive reactions, IIRC

 

[kc44135]

Well, this is hot garbage. This was my most anticipated game for E3, and it's a P.T clone!? Are you kidding me!? I'm absolutely disgusted by this, and it couldn't be any further from survival horror. I'll give the demo a chance, but if all you do is run and hide from enemies, count me out. That's NOT Resident Evil.

 

[Matty77]

I like More Badass got heavy condemned vibes, almost thought that was what we were going to see.

Hope it plays as well as it looks, definitley the most interested I have been in the series in years.

 

[F0rneus]

Well...this sure as fuck ain't action RE. Jesus that was terrifying.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

giantbomb just said their capcom invite said "regular and vr" versions will be playable fyi

 

[ffdgh]

HEre is a working video link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyyEuueRY6I

Thanks!

Also....what the heck was that? Seems more like silent hill lol.

 

[JayEH]

The fuck is wrong with capcom.

 

[Lakitu]

Looked uninspired IMO and quite bland.

PT nails it so much better.

 

[RedSnake]

No. Their VR demo Kitchen evolved into RE7.

That scares me.

So less than a year in development?

I also noiced the "1" in kitchen so maybe it's a reboot?

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

Also....what the heck was that? Seems more like silent hill lol.

My exact reaction. Doesn't look like resident evil.

 

[Neff]

Shocked at the negativity in this thread, but the fan base has been divided for a long time now.

I'm a huge fan of old/new RE, and I was pumped for any RE tonight, but I didn't see anything in this trailer besides a general sense of mystery and decay which says RE to me.

And making it a niche VR first person game (assuming it is entirely first person)? It sounds a very risky move on Capcom's part. We'll see.

 

[darkslayer101]

.

You are not helping bro..

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

Video is private.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Yeah now that I think back about it, I think the trailer was misdirection.
In the montage you can see the game being third person, and it's clearly labled as RE7, this is not a reboot.

 

[LUXURY]

When does the demo come out? I didn't even see that mentioned on the stream.
