I wouldn't blame you; the console's search function is just that terrible. But it's definitely there, I already downloaded it.

Okay, finished it. That was really something... kinda like P.T.
I got the backdoor key and the demo ended when I tried to leave. Underwhelming tbh. What did I miss?
I don't think I like this new direction. Going full-on horror will affect the sales a lot and is a very bad decision IMO.
This is not Resident Evil but I'm really looking forward to get to know more about the game. I hope the entire game won't be about just roaming around trying to figure out what's going on. I want to kick some ass with a shotgun.

I thought most people loved PT. The only other AAA games company who does horror uses their incredibly versatile franchise to do a game that is like PT and all I see is backlash because it's not exactly like the half dozen other RE games.
Can't wait to try the demo and try to enjoy it for what it is.
I swear, every time this franchise innovates it pisses off some segment of its fans just like Legend of Zelda. They can't win.

Thank god that shit is gone. I had a great time with the action adventure RE4... but i'm pumped RE is going back to survival horror and a new first person view with VR capability. Pants will be shit.
Hmmmm.... it definitely won't
fit on one of those mannequins. And you can't interact with the puppet that drops down when you find that chain cutter thing.

The fact that the house is almost certainly a Family research facility ( I won't say why for spoiler reasons ) means there will be plenty of surviving your way through biohazards in the final game.

I think thats why a lot of us aren't finding it... we're using the web store.
Anyone in the US successfully find and install via the web store?

On console, go to the store and search. Find Resident Evil 7 biohazard deluxe edition. Once you highlight it hit 'X'. You should be on the pre order page for the deluxe edition. Now hit right to highlight the game page. This takes you to the standard edition page. Now hit down 3 times. This should be the demo page.

Edit: I sympathize, at least you still get the full game.
Hmmm. I'm not sure I like the shift to first person (assuming that this is the only camera view), especially if it is done to be better suited for VR (which I still have no interest in, partly because of having chronicly dry eyes).
I liked the tone and atmosphere but do hope that some of the elements from the old games return instead of it being completely (serious and psychological style horror) like P.T. or Outlast.

"All over the place", lol. The series is 20 years old, and there has been two big changes during that time, which makes about one change every ten years. "All over the place"...
Also, I thought everyone loved P.T., yet P.T. was extremely different from classic Silent Hill.
And the camera angles were originally a technical limitation, nothing more.
You can watch the tape as many times as you want during one playthrough. Maybe doing things differently during several tape flashbacks does something? First time I unlocked the drawer for the axe, and second time I didn't, but I still kept my axe. So it probably doesn't change anything...

Sony has always been ultra horrible at store updates, not just that but OS updates and changes.
Can people stop already ? This RE doesn't have anything that made PT so special.

Is anyone elses downloading extremely slowly? PSN games usually download fairly quickly for me but this one is taking forever.
Agreed, they're essentially two different experiments that share a camera perspective.

I think there's no reason that RE can't support both. One set of games for the horror and one set ofr the action. Where 6 messed up is wehre it tried to service all crowds and failed everyone.
Look I love re5 but re4/5 weren't exactly traditional.
Yep, was not available on from Playstation app on my XPERIA...
This is weird that this is a numbered title. Wasn't Resident Evil 6 their best selling RE game or something? I just find it odd they wouldn't continue chasing that 3rd person action game money. I'm pleasantly surprised by the change for sure, I just don't know how this came to be and am very interested in how this pitch went within Capcom.

Download time was still acting up so I decided to delete and re-download the demo again. Seems to be working now. Have no clue why it was acting up late last night. I'll try the demo later tonight
If I remember correctly people were, at that point, tired of the old RE formula and so it was welcomed with open arms when the final RE4 was revealed.
I mean to be fair, that just makes me think why is this even called a Resident Evil? Like yeah definitely money, and if the new game is cool, who fucking cares what the title is right? It's just be nice if Capcom was in a position to make this a new ip.
Because it really doesn't work or flow like Resident Evil, it's fine if game companies actually put some ips down, for good. It's similar to how I felt when they were showing God of War 4, glad Santa Monica isn't making just another God of War, but it still feels like a shame that some of that game is still tied to whatever they need to do to tie it into a game called "God of War".
I do think it's hilarious that we're going to get a crowd that loves Resident Evil 4, but will get mad at this game for changing too much lol

It's pretty freaky. Lots of atmosphere. Not really many jump scares but it's definitely enough to get you scared just off suspense. I really liked the demo.
So far I only got
-punched I'm the face by the door
-punched in the face in the attic/telephone
I BET you can get out of the house!

Being still called RE7, doubt its a reboot. If anything the the demo and what was shown so far is just part of the game, the more actiony stuff I'm sure will still be in the game.
It's all in the name. The names are powerful marketing identities. Selling a new name is much more difficult.
There isn't the tiniest chance that it is supernatural.
The protagonist of the demo is Clancy Javis, a cameraman recently hired by the producer of a shlock paranormal investigation show "Sewer Gators." They investigate a reported haunted house abandoned three years ago by a couple, whose son was reportedly "a bad seed." This is pretty much all the plot there is so far.
Yeah that's all I've got. Someone earlier in the thread was saying they got 3 endings.
Plus that game was a looker on the technical front, a lot of sins are forgiven when people see a pretty game. Plus tone wise it was still in line, in basic trailers, it wasn't until people played it they realized that you felt the survival aspects took a hit.

Especially with the non-subtle references to the family.
