That's a 7.

Then I'm going blind... :/

Edit: Don't believe shagg's lies.

EDIT: It's 7AM!

That's why i said "sort of" reboot, it's clear that capcom is trying to radically change the direction, but evidently for some reason capcom just doesn't want(or can't) cut with the past.

Except not really aside from a new perspective and tonal shift from action . It's still going to involve Zombies as piecing together the demo hints at the house being an entrance to a Family research facility not at all unlike RE1's mansion.

 

[jrDev]

I also doubt the game will be anything like this, Capcom wouldn't project 4 millions sales for a walking simulator.

There is no way this sells 4 million the way it is if something doesn't change... :-/

 

[TMC]

Search for resident evil 7 -> game page -> demos is how found it.

Are you finding this on the console store? I can't see this on the web store.

Where are the

[AHA-Lambda]

ok now I got another one by

so that's 2 endings
where is this axe?

 

[yurinka]

In the trailer, it shows "Before Kitchen", and the word Kitchen flashes to "1" in Red letters similar to 7 (or VII) flashes in Red. Seems to me they're saying this is "Before RE1". Could be a soft reboot with dates reset for the modern era?

Press release says "Resident Evil 7 is set after the events of Resident Evil 6"

[the_milkybar_kid]

I feel they'd do well to distance themselves from 7, or VII. Just make it a new thing as Resident Evil.

BIO6 took place four years before this game. It always dazzles me how the games have such large gaps between them, there's a lot of story to fill in between them.

 

[RealityCheque]

I'll be buying. I may be too scared to play it though.

Any word on whether this is part of the existing RE story or are we heading into the reboot-a-tron. I kind of hope it's the latter. This series could be helped by losing some baggage.

The posts right above you. It's a sequel to BIO6.

When you're in the tape look in the gap to the right of the microwave and crouch to grab a lockpick. Use the lockpick on the locked drawer in the kitchen and the axe will be waiting for you once you return to the present.

Yes

 

[2+2=5]

I think this is smart as it gives the people who are not necessarily onboard with this style of game to play it and see how it ties into the overall story.

Edit: Don't believe shagg's lies.

Yeah i also think it's a good idea.

Except not really aside from a new perspective and tonal shift from action . It's still going to involve Zombies as piecing together the demo hints at the house being an entrance to a Family research facility not at all unlike RE1's mansion.

Rebooting and changing direction don't need passing from zombies to aliens or whatever

 

[Daffy Duck]

where is this axe?

Spoiler

Get the video tape, play the sequence and in the kitchen look in the gap by the microwave, open the locked cupboard on the other side of the table, play through the rest of that scene and then back with the main guy go to the kitchen and now there is an axe in the opened drawer.

 

[The Silver]

Same thoughts; one of the ways I can get behind this is if it is basically RE1 in a first person view.

And I will be hugely disappointed if I can't blow up the final boss with an RPG.

With the atmosphere they're going for that's extremely unlikely

Ehhhhhhhh I hope it's as separate from RE6's story as possible.

 

[MikeE21286]

Can someone post a link to the PSN demo? I'm in the US

I couldn't find it on the store last night and still can't and I would like to download it while I'm at work today and play later tonight.

Thanks much in advance.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Huh...

Found the Resident Evil Ambassador thing on ResidentEvil.Net, and when you sign up, you get a link with an ID number with this image.

 

[ChasingComets]

With the atmosphere they're going for that's extremely unlikely

If we we end up having weapons in the game, I don't see why this couldn't happen. It's pretty much a tradition for the series.

 

[Yoshichan]

Trying to avoid spoilers, please, tell me is this available yet in Europe, more specifically Sweden PSN?

 

[old manatee]

They should call it Biohazard in the US this time. It's always been the better name, and at this point the Resident Evil name is sort of synonymous with an endless glut of bad games and movies.

 

[the_milkybar_kid]

BIO6 took place four years before this game. It always dazzles me how the games have such large gaps between them, there's a lot of story to fill in between them.

That's disappointing. The whole story is fucking guff at this point. Would have liked a whole new take on it, personally.

 

[RealityCheque]

The posts right above you. It's a sequel to BIO6.

Fair enough. Haven't played since RE5 so the overall story isn't particularly valuable to me. Still think it would be fine to just reboot the whole thing at this point.

 

[oldsnakeonline]

Is the demo out on US store? I can't find it.

 

[Alfrays]

Downloaded the demo, played it two times.
First person view
silent protagonist(or that doesn't talk too much)
no sensed scary stuff

Spoiler

like the manikin that appears behind you without any reason

jump scares(or something that tries to be a jump scare).
Uninstalled the demo.

This is no Resident Evil. Pass

 

[FtHTiny]

Trying to avoid spoilers, please, tell me is this available yet in Europe, more specifically Sweden PSN?

it´s available in austria.

 

[Voorhees]

Did they take it off the PSN store? I can get to the page, but it will only let me Add to my Wishlist, there's no option to download it. And yes I am a PS+ member.

 

[ktroopa]

2 questions please

1. How long is the demo?
2. How many jump scares, i need to have enough spare pants ready

Thanks

And are you actually implying jump scares weren't a part of resident evil?

1. If you run through it it´s only 10 minutes or even shorter.
2. Depends how you play but there aren´t many.

 

[The Silver]

You'll have weapons, you probably aren't going to get a fucking rocket launcher for the cheesy action/b horror movie finish. If there is a rocket launcher it probably won't be used like you think it will.

 

[SilverArrow20XX]

Jesus. Just woke up and it's STILL not out? If it is I can't find it.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

I'm cautiously looking forward to this. I think knowing that we have REmake 2 on the way helps soften the knee-jerk reaction to this being an FPS.

 

[FtHTiny]

Jesus. Just woke up and it's STILL not out? If it is I can't find it.

You need PS+, it should be under Demos. (atleast in Austria it is)

If you go by what the game wants you to think is its natural progression its

1.

Spoiler

15 mins

2.

Spoiler

4 or 5

However, it seems like there is way more to this demo than what we think, so no one really knows what the final playtime or scare tally is.

 

[Amadeusz]

Any info about possible PC demo out there?

Googled, couldn't find anything.

 

[ChasingComets]

How else will it be used then, if not to blow something up?

I mean it's not like I need it to be in or anything; I just think keeping that nod to the series in there would be a nice touch.

 

[Alfrays]

the inventory doesn't save the mess they did with all the rest.

It's a different kind of jump scare, nothing that belongs to the series.

 

[Psamtik. Death's Demise]

Resident Evil's been a bit on the silly side from the very beginning - let's not forget the shark, the building-sized plant, or the bee puzzle - and it's always been action-heavy. The last thing I want is for the series to suddenly start chasing Amnesia, Outlast, or (god help us) P.T.

 

[Kevin Atomic]

Currently seems a little weird that this is a RE title (and in Japan will it be called Biohazard Biohazard?). But, it is awesome to see something like P.T coming from a large studio and I hope this is just pure scary fun. Definitely ready for more.

 

[Kinsei]

There aren't that many jump scares (two maybe three total?). The game tries to scare you via the atmosphere rather than just jumping out and yelling boo. I personally felt that it was very effective (I played it at 4AM in total darkness with headphones on) but naturally your mileage may vary.

 

[Sayad]

There is a weapon in the demo and there is aim assist in the options. It's not a "walking simulator", the demo just happens to be before you get a gun.

I know about the weapon(more like a tool, so far), demo isn't representative of the final game is what I'm saying.

 

[shanafan]

Jesus. Just woke up and it's STILL not out? If it is I can't find it.

I believe for right now for NA, it's only available on the console's store itself.

 

[RevenWolf]

I'm impressed you've gotten access to the full game and seen everything that's wrong!

Also how are just how are they different?

Really lots of the groundwork and ui could easily lend itself to a REmake style gameplay.

 

[Baloonatic]

Whatever the secret to these items is must be really obtuse, still don't think anyone has figured it out.

 

[Dusk Golem]

If you spawn the mannequin by the stairs, it will change the phone convo. That's the trigger. Spawn it,.and you get the memories line. Do not, and you get the choices line.

 

[Ricker]

Yes

Where on the console,just checked cant find it...

Guess I will use the search thing...

 

[Scotia]

I'm streaming the demo now:
