Ok, so it's coming to Xbox and PC. Nice.

Not really happy that it's first-person.

 

[MikeE21286]

Can't find the demo on PSN

 

[L4DANathan]

Did....did I just see a trailer for a new RE that was both creepy and looked really good? Tonight has been so odd.

 

[Interfectum]

Looks better than the shitty RE5 and 6. I'll take it!

 

[komplanen]

I hope this inherits literally 0% of the shit RE became after RE2.

 

[JunkoEve]

Who are the main playable characters? Have they released that info yet?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I'm going to keep believing this is all just misdirection.

You play though tape-1 and it turns back to familiar things, there's no way the 7 title makes sense otherwise.

 

[KarmaCow]

Like God of War, it's weird that these aren't new games. It's half a step away already.

 

[erlim]

Makes sense, you have like legendary military guys like Leon, Chris, Jill, Claire, Barry, etc, then normal guys and gals who are probably totally overwhelmed in the world, which could be really really scary.

 

[Soyongdori]

Nope. Confirmed to take place after RE6.

Where?

 

[joe2187]

People were so fucking excited when P.T. was revealed to be silent hills.

Maybe Capcom should have went full P.T. and revealed it at the end of the Demo.

 

[Theanine3D]

Also, the newspaper close-up... are we gonna be dealing with ghosts now? Zombies seemingly gone? It says, "Ghosts sighted in bayou." Very interesting.

I really hope not. What I've always liked about RE was that the enemies were grounded at least remotely in reality. BOW's are just animals or people infected with a virus. Nothing supernatural about that. I'll be disappointed if they finally moved away from that.

 

[wild wild rice]

I love that this is set in a single location again.

 

[iBlue]

Did they just say there is going to be a Demo of it TONIGHT??!?

 

[Tabarin]

Only the demo is first person or the game will be too?

 

[Blimblim]

[GwyndolinCinder]

Not up on UK?

 

[GavinGT]

Aren't they going to have to downgrade those visuals in VR mode?

 

[UltimaPooh]

where can I get the demo tho

This.

 

[Kyzer]

best reveal of E3!

 

[ViolentP]

The fact that it's FIRST PERSON. Just no. It's not about that they went back to horror... it's this FPS bullshit. Get out.

This entirely new reboot is bullshit and yet it's still called RE7? How the fuck?

No old characters?
No multiplayer?
Mercenaries?
Anything related to RE at all? Inventory, herbs etc

It's a brand new game slapped on with the RE title on it.

Sorry but nope.

P.T. was what the future of horror games should have been. Props to Capcom for putting a big name behind a project like this. If it doesn't work, go back to the old formula. No harm, no foul. Besides, it's not like this game will be the one to break the stellar Resident Evil track record.

 

[blankempathy]

We didn't play the same games then. The RE5 and 6 I played had limited inventory slots, and forced to carefully consider what you needed to bring with you. It was absolutely still a part to thasoe games, even if ammo was more plentiful. Also, they still had combat, something the series has had from the very first entry. Now that seems to have all been thrown out the window for a P.T. clone. Hope I'm wrong. Guess we'll see soon.

To be fair most of my re6 playthrough item management consisted of me throwing out an abundance of rifle ammo because you could only carry so much per slot and they just gave you a ton of it. Anyways I agree with your assessment of the games. Also wanted to add that we played as characters who while being out of their element, were still trained individuals. I hope we don't play as joe everybody who needs to point out when to be scared by reacting to everything that happens. I guess we'll just have to see.

But Resident evil was never purely a horror game. It was survival horror where the player had to fight their way out of an impossible situation with a sense or urgency.

 

[Neiteio]

What

the

fuck

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Looks very scary which is good thing but first person point of view in RE.... I'm not sure about that.

Seriously what is wrong with you people have been crying out for a single player horror game for years and we finally got it.

 

[RangerBAD]

So it's VR only?

 

[Jack The Nipper]

thats the way to do it, in the trailer the atmosphere was some of the most realistic Ive ever seen in a game, time to see how that plays oout

 

[NoizyChild]

Resident Evil 7 is set after the events of Resident Evil 6, taking place in modern day and revolving around a foreboding, derelict plantation mansion in rural America. Players must explore and survive the horrors within the mysterious, sprawling estate.

Looks like RE7 is going to take place in the South.

I feel ya. I'm legit heartbroken right now. I was watching E3 just for this game, and it couldn't be further from what I wanted.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Where?

Capcom PR:

Resident Evil 7 is set after the events of Resident Evil 6, taking place in modern day and revolving around a foreboding, derelict plantation mansion in rural America.

 

[GodParticle]

Really weird that it's apparently a numbered sequel. Looks interesting, but nothing like RE

 

[Huge Succeeded]

So it's VR only?

no.

 

[down 2 orth]

They definitely took the right notes from the P.T. playbook. Now to find that demo...

 

[Future PhaZe]

RE7 Vive

 

[Sammy Samusu]

and PC on January 24

DESTOY ME

 

[RPGCrazied]

Please tell me its not first person only. I know they were showing off the VR gameplay, but surely its just for that.

 

[Replicant]

Where and when? And boxed version too please!

 

[strafer]

only first person? pass.

 

[Skab]

So it's VR only?

No.

Giantbomb mentioned they have an appointment with Capcom tomorrow and that it would be there in both "VR and standard" versions

 

[Neiteio]

Nothing about this looks even remotely RE-related

 

[Namikaze]

Wow, so it takes place after RE6 and isn't a complete reboot of the series. Wonder what happened to Chris/Jill/Ada/Leon etc.

 

[SmackAttack]

Is this only in VR?

Is this only first-person?

Is this only on PS4?

What IS this?

I'm entirely confused.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

REALLY hope it isn't all first person or this is some sort of spin off.

 

[Wallach]

I'm pretty stoked for this. But I also couldn't give a shit about RE5 or 6 so a new direction sounds up my alley. Being fully playable in VR seals the deal.

 

[antitrop]

This reveal blew my fucking mind.

From RE6 to this, I can't believe this is a thing that has actually happened.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Did they just say there is going to be a Demo of it TONIGHT??!?

Yes. Playable demo tonight on PS4.

So it's VR only?

No.

 

[Manu]

I hope this inherits literally 0% of the shit RE became after RE2.

Damn, RE hipsters get worse with time. Soon RE1 is gonna be the only "true" RE game.

 

[SDBurton]

So it's VR only?

There's a demo coming out soon, so I doubt it. :lol

 

[Luigiv]

A bit late (didn't want to break from the stream) but this was my reaction:

 

[brandonh83]

This is crazy. I'm more intrigued about this than I've been since RE4. I realize many are going ape about the first person view and this and that, but this taking place after RE6 and looking more intimate, isolated... I mean, we didn't really see the brunt of the gameplay and the focus is clearly on horror. I've enjoyed the gameplay of the past few, sure, but again I'm super intrigued by what they're doing here. Hyped. Cannot wait to see more.
