yep, I can now reliably get
him by getting the fuse triggering the phone but not entering the room, get the axe, play the video again and get the key when you exit you will see him
PSN conference on youtube minute 1 hour 4 minutes mark.
That's what I'm making my friends watch
Thanks, good idea. Just did this.

Yeah, it's a bit disappointing. But the demo is pretty promising even if it's identity is really nothing like previous games. People seem to be whittling away more of the demo and discovering the ties to the story and the lore which I think might soothe the "pain" (for lack of a better word) that the fans are feeling.
I really do think that's Ada Wong's voice. If they ever carried a character over in a soft reboot I always thought it would be her.
I doubt the fans of RE123CV are jumping for joy either. If you really think this is the same brand of horror / the same brand of game as any of the stuff we've ever played in the series gone by (barring Survivor, and even then that's a stretch) then I think you need to visit a neurologist.
I'll give you Resident Evil 1 because of the setting and the critical path but the campy horror was amped all the way up for 2 and 3 and this game is clearly not concerned with being camp

Thank god the RE6 combat is gone. I hated it. Move it to Umbrella Corps or whatever
The fact that they didn't is abhorrent.

It straight up doesn't make sense they didn't leverage RE6 for that really.

even though i'm disappointed by the demo, i still think this is much better than WWE:RE6
so after years and years fans have been asking for Resident evil to go back to horror and when they finally did it(not right though but still) now the "fans" wants RE7 to be like that garbage WWE:RE6 ?? wtf people
reminds me of what happened with Cod, everyone wanted it to change and when it finally changed after years of copy pasting, they hated it and wanted it to go back like before

I finished the demo. No idea what to expect. Its good that its going back to survival horror.
Is there a different ending if I had the axe at the end?
This game reminds me so much of Silent Hill haha.

He always does that after you get the key.
A story in the same series that features new characters in new locations is a really low-bar definition for "reboot."

What's funny is PT was actually very different from classic Silent Hill.
Main thing I liked about classic Resi was the adventure game side of it, exploring a creepy mansion, examining objects, solving puzzles etc. That was something that got lost from 4 onward and at the very least is back with 7 even if its not very similar to classic RE aside from that.
Still not sold though as I'm not huge fan of first person.

I know who you are. Who are you? You have the power to choose but the outcome of that choice may not be what you expect
Disagree. Nothing? Really?
Felt to me like it is bringing back some of the exploration/puzzles/level design from older RE.
There is a lot that's different, no doubt, but to say it's nothing like the older REs is...a lie.

Have people not played Outlast?
This reminds me of Outlast more than any other game, LOL.

Yeah and I felt that way about PT too. I thought that what they offered were great experiences but neither were really suitable or congruent with what the previous games in the series offered.
This reminds me of when people praise Revelations 2 for having puzzles but all you do is pick up an item and go use it somewhere else. Like it is the lowest standard for a "puzzle" I can think of.
This is my issue, I wish Outlast would remain it's own thing.
It's like Capcom want to make Clock Tower 5 instead of Resident Evil 7 - though I'll admit that call is a bit too premature.
No fucking around for batteries so it's automatically better.
Is the demo not available for US yet?

Not if the entire series had always the same characters and the new game is completely different gameplay and direction-wise

I personally think that there had to be some sort of middle ground between the RE4-6 trilogy style of action gameplay and the PT/Amnesia/Outlast style of survival gameplay that RE7 seems to be aping. I think that's what these people (me included) were actually hoping for.
My judgement is reserved until I see more of the game (and the supposed combat), but I'll find it very hard to get behind RE7 if they are absolutely focused on a run-and-hide style of gameplay.

Agree. 7 may not be an exact successor to the originals but it is a survival horror, something that the series hasn't been since 4.
4 was a good game, but there are plenty of good third person shooters out there and very few good survival horrors, losing one to the other was so unnecessary and I'm glad that is being reversed.
Clearly this will be streamed to high heaven and a major selling point for VR so I think Capcom are likely to be rewarded with very good sales figures for this move, and hopefully that bodes well for survival horror long term.
Unlike Outlast this will probably have guns though. I can't imaging them doing RE without combat.
I am into this. I love horror games and was sad PT is not going to be a thing, This is going to scratch that itch. I have no issue with this being attached to RE, because I thought RE6 was trash and more int hat direction would not have interested me at all.

No "PSVR" in the thread title?
This is a PSVR system seller.

Agreed in a lot of ways. 4 is a great game, but it just didn't feel like Resident Evil to me back when I played it.
Well, I was hoping for something like REmake, I was expecting something like RE6 and what we got is entirely different. I think it's great that they take the franchise into a different direction and it's definitely better than getting another RE6, but sadly I really don't like to play in first person, so the game probably won't be for me.
Not if the entire series had always the same characters and the new game is completely different gameplay and direction-wise
Ark Thompson and Bruce McGivern say hello.
We also have no idea who this game's protagonists are. The documentary crew may just be introductory characters for a prologue.
I can see it being like this: you get a gun at some point, but bullets are scarce. And, to kill the a zombie/infected thing it will probably take a good 4-5 shots.
Creepy big house setting, main characters who don't know what's going on, focus on exploration and not in "shoot everything in the face" like RE4 onwards, horror being the actual focus of the game instead of some expendable backdrop to come up with weird monsters to shoot at, etc.
RE 4, 5 and 6 are pure shooters, and while I liked 4 and 5 (6 is an aberration) I more than welcome this change. There are plenty of shooters out there anyways.
I hope hit detection and enemy reaction are top-notch in order to sell the illusion in VR.

Resident evil has sucked and I'm glad this is something new.
