Yeah, I feel like there has to be something else to the demo, but I'm starting to lose faith. After a full day and multiple regions cracking away at it, everyone has hit the same stump in the road. This thing is either nothing, or Capcom has hidden it in such a completely obtuse and obscure way that there's no way for anyone to actually figure it out. I mean, you have to think about P.T. and how utterly stupid some of the shit was to progress in that, and people cracked that in less than a day. So, something is up. Either there is nothing, or the solution is so beyond abstract that Capcom will just have to show it themselves at some point.

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard announced (PC/XB1/PS4), Jan 2017, PS4 demo out now

I won't rest easy until I see the real game and how it's like RE.
In the meantime, I really don't even feel like downloading this demo.
So that would imply that there is more.
Spoiler thread now, too. Let me know if I messed anything up, will try and fix asap as well as update with info.

All the elements RE is known for means Suplexing is in

Yeah, but maybe it's just a demo they cut right out of the main game, and you'll use that finger in the main game.
?idk? It just feels like if there is a solution for an extra ending, it's super convoluted.
Wouldn't signing up to Ambassador using the Capcom account thing link it to your PSN? Probably clutching here tbh but that wording in the demo is just so strange.

YOOOOOOO After watching the video, getting the axe, doing the fuse, then watching the video again, I turned around and fucking something walked past the door with some creepy music. Scared the shit outta me. I'll upload the video.

People called Romanes they go the house?
I just caught this while downloading the demo, and....wat?
That's extremely odd, unless the first person is meant to be a taste of the VR aspect?
But then again, Capcom's been making weird decisions for a while now.

Yeah, I had the same thing happen to me! Apparently it happens every time.
Yeah, it does to me, too. If the game isn't a proper story demo, and there's no secret to it, then what the bloody fuck is the point of even releasing it? It's not like there's any real story to it either, outside very little bits you get from the videotape. The mechanics in it are super basic, so it's like...what's the point? There's just no sense to it.

The whole game is definitely first person. Unless they're lying to everyone.

The full game will still be first person. But this demo snippet is not included in the main game. It stands alone.
No, not really
They specifically mentioned: exploration, puzzles, item management, health management, and combat. Basically back to the roots, no more "superhero" characters.

So then this game doesn't have everything RE is known for. What a bunch of liars.
Good to hear. I expect RE7 to essentially be a first person take on the older RE1-3/REmake series. So it will take place a single environment with plenty of back tracking, puzzles, and claustrophobic areas, along with a large focus horror and item management. But it will all be in first person with an aesthetic similar to the typical modern horror games.

Ok so... something happened, but it might just be a glitch. I kicked that doll baby thing all the way back to the TV room with the intention of kicking it down the hole in the secret passage. Not too far into the TV room though, the baby just stops moving and will disappear if you go too far into the room. If you go back it reappears, but it won't move anymore. It could be a glitch, but I feel like it might be something since there is ghost stuff in this game.

But...it's still first person correct?

This isn't resident evil. No need to be a fanboy to come to this realization.
Oh and the demo is shit. What the fuck were they thinking?
Seeing as it's all Vr yes I would say so.
Yep. Fully first person. Sorry if you're not happy about that.
I was expecting that. I think the problem was this was called a demo for RE7 and not a teaser. I was expecting to be playing something similar to what was shown on the video tape, not the actual thing shown at sony's conference
Oh.

They do call it a teaser on the console, but I agree. I think the messaging was wrong and made many minds jump to the FPS run and hide survival horror games populating the genre these days. They should've either showed a better look at a later part of the game with the RE elements, or come out with a stronger message that they weren't entirely making that sort of game.

Replaying it right now. Still really enjoying it, though I gotta say I hate the invisible wall in the videotape section.
Edit - sry wrong qoute.
Yeah now I'm really confused. What exactly was Capcom's goal here with whats been showed? Just a VR thing?
Also if the game is set to release in january, wouldn't the timing and E3 stage time better been used to show the actual game?

It says teaser on the start screen.

Technically suplexing is combat in RE, and not a superhero ability.
It's dead like Dino Crisis

Yeah it's really odd and there's definitely too much defense for what isn't a very good representative teaser.

At least we are getting fixed camera angles. Fixed to your head that is.
Back to its roots. LMAO. Capcom you trolls.

Actually, Capcom is the one that jumped the gun releasing a demo to the public that is apparently, after internet sleuthing, not representative of the actual game.
Should've come with a disclaimer, something like "WARNING: This demo contains scenes of extreme coattail riding. *final game won't be simulating walking like it's 2010"
Couldn't agree more.

So now I have a second phone ringing from what appears to be behind a barred off door. Where's that goddamn axe when you need it!?
Edit: Sorry meant to post this in the impressions thread.
Pretty much. I keep a pretty open mind when it comes to RE, but I'd be lying if I said that the teaser left me excited or *really* wanting more.

Looks like you never played the "back to the roots" Resident Evil.
Signed up, went to my page and it say ambassador "no".
They probably thought people would appreciate the horror, exploration etc. after all the bitching and moaning people did about RE6 being an action game.
Thank fuck.
Bless.

Thought the demo was a nice little jaunt. Most I've enjoyed Resi since 4.

As someone who has never been a fan of the Resident Evil games but has seen gameplay of most of the games and has a basic understanding of the series, outside of it being first person, it doesn't look all that different from the early games.
With that being said, I was surprised at all the negativity. I'm assuming it's mainly the first person aspect, because outside of that, it looks like a Resident Evil game.

I can't see similarities between this and the older games. Like, at all. I've played all of them.
