I think you need to watch a tape fully for it to 'count', I'm basing this off when I earned the achievement for watching every tape, though it's hard to say since the last tape
is unskipable
You can definitely pull the lever without watching the tape, or even picking up the tape.
I'm lost in the beginning and kinda lost interest in continuing the game.
The last thing I did I think was
dunno what to do here, can't find a key or something.
The last thing I did I think was
controlling Mia by watching the video, and that father keeps following me, the grandma is in her room and it's closed,

I recommend RE 5 & 6.
If you like 7 as a whole, then I highly recommend REmake HD, and 0. Both look good and have the good atmosphere, and good pacing.
If you need something more modern then I suggest Revelations 2. If you have a buddy who wants to play an action co op game with you, then RE5. Lastly, RE4 is great, and RE6 is garbage.

This is the first RE game since RE4 that gripped me from beginning to end. Much like DOOM 2016 was a distillation of the essence of Doom 1 & 2 in a modern context, RE7 was a reinterpretation of RE1 in today's conventions and game design methodologies. With that said, it didn't sacrifice what made Resident Evil so compelling in the first place for the sake of mass market appeal (Capcom discovered that the hard way as we all know), yet it feels fresh and vital. It just has so much confidence in what game it wants to be. I just wished there was more of it!
Like in 2016, video games like RE7 are redeeming us from the global horrors of 2017.

Play REmake if you like 7. Play RE4, 5, and 6 if you want more RE and don't care if they play differently. RE4 is still one of the best games ever released.

So yesterday I mustered up the courage to
. It wasn't as bad as I feared it would be.
I yelled and cursed.
So far I've played up to the part where you open
. I was fine with all of that.
It's the jump scares and the anticipation of one potentially about to happen at any moment with something directly in my face that I don't need in my life. Not to say that that isn't kind of fun as well though.

Resident 4 is a masterpiece,but you might a bit sad as many other sequels don't touch it.

I think RE4 is grossly overrated. The second half of the game is not that good, story and characters horrible. Combat is mediocre even for its time.
OK so I beat the game yesterday. Great game. Very fun, beat it on easy and then madhouse.
Ok first things first, the very first. Right after booting up the game I was greeted with a video of a girl talking into the camera and I could not believe how bad the lip syncing was. By that I mean, it's almost nonexistent. For a game released in 2017 how are more people not talking about this. The face models look pretty great, but as soon as they open their mouth it falls apart, it's laughably bad.
Another thing I was disappointed with right away when starting the game. The enemies are so boring. There are only 2 enemies in the entire game? The main walking molded monster(+ claw version) and the molded that walks on all fours. Maybe 3 if I count the bugs. I was so bored with combat very quickly because I was just fighting the same thing over and over. Huge disappointment.
Finally, I really didn't see why this game needed to be 1st person besides the obvious VR. I was always under the impression that the game let you choose 1st person or 3rd person view. All the lame, up in your face jump scares were like the garbage gimmicks that 3D movie makers did when that was new a few years ago. It's so obviously a VR gimmick and something that would never have been in the game if VR wasn't a thing.
It's jarring and blatantly obvious that's the reason it's there.
Other than those things I really enjoyed the game. Am I the only one that thought the game was short?

Remake is the closet you'll get to 7 IMO in terms of atmosphere.
I'd check out the originals too, like 2-CV just to see what a lot of fans fell in love with about the series. 4-6 is where the series turns to straight up action (and it was fun as well).

I'm glad I've replayed 2, a few days before this, it is still the king! Though I couldn't pick between RE1 and the REmake, those follow closely, but as far as I'm concerned, RE7 comes close after them, and easily more of a masterpiece, than RE4 was! (still a masterpiece, but for me not when compared within the franchise)

REmake is one of the rare few Capcom GameCube masterpieces that I haven't touched. I wonder if it's cheap on the Xbox Marketplace...

I really hope they plan on releasing a patch somewhere down the line that lets us skip the opening segment of the game. It's awful and takes around 15 minutes.It'd be nice if we could skip some of the in-game scenes as well, especially the phone calls.
Mind-bogglingly bad shitpost.
It's gone on sale on PS4 plenty of times in the past. I think it's $20 if it's not on sale. Well worth it!

Have played a bit,

)
Sadly, seems my 980Ti have bitten the dust, had to revert to my 680, hopefully RMA goes threw soon.

I think I'd enjoy a multiplayer mode. No real frills, just deathmatch in maybe the main building.
Everyone has walking shoes speed or maybe it's hidden in a pickup box (EMD style).
Item pickups in the environment or maybe in EMD boxes. Everyone exploring the house to power up.
Wouldn't need radar due to innate sound design.
I'm sure many wouldn't be on board for this because it would be DLC on top of having to require PS+ to play a mode in an otherwise singleplayer game.

Going by Capcom MP shenanigans in RE5&6. The mode would probably be horribly broken with a certain weapon or tactic. Capcom doesn't seem able to grasp MP well unless it's coop when it comes to these sorts of games.
With that said a Outbreak style game mode made with the areas could be interesting. Needing multiple people to solve puzzles and beat bosses.
If you like Resident Evil 7 then you definitely want to play the Resident Evil 1 remake. They are pretty similar games in every way (except perspective).
1 and 4 are the best in the series aside from 7, so they're great places to start.
The best version of RE1 is the Director's Cut version, which is only available on PSone. The PSN store has the Director's Cut: Dual Shock Edition, which has embarrassing music. It's good, but janky, being a 3D 1996 game.
Otherwise, you could play the remake of RE1 that you'll notice most people call REmake. It's available on Gamecube, 360, PS3, PS4, X1 and PC (Steam). It's generally regarded as the better game and best way to play Resident Evil 1.
The PS2 version of Resident Evil 4 is the worst possible one, but it's still a good game. I could go into what's wrong with the PS2 version if you're adamant about that version. Since you've played RE7, I would assume you would have access to a better version of RE4. RE4 was released on Gamecube, PS2, Wii, 360, PS3, PS4, X1, and PC. There is some nuance when deciding what the best version of this game is, but for all practical purposes, the X1/PS4/PC versions are the best versions most accessible. They run at 60fps and have updated textures and all of the side content and balancing revisions.
So,what happens with the items inside those locked boxes during the tape version of the ship? Let's say i don't pick them,will i be able to collect them when i have to play as Mia in the present?
I think it's better to open the boxes and leave the contents so i can use them later,if possible.

What the hell? : /
Combat was mediocre even for its time? The combat is still better than a lot of games today!
For real. I think to this day that it has GOAT TPS gunplay. Some people can't get over the move/shoot limitation even though it's intentional and the focal point of enemy/encounter design.

Are there any differences inside the tapes in Madhouse mode?
It's funny because RE4 was the first with this kind of gameplay,how can it be worse than others when it was the only one of its kind? lol

I think you're right. Though you can get materials to open them later as well, it's just more annoying.
I too wish the game had a multiplayer mode. So much you can do in the enviornments. Would make a great party game.

Does REmake play like RE4? BRACE YOURSELF I actually really hated the combat and controls in RE4, and even refunded it due to this as I couldn't enjoy the game because of how clunky it felt (the story was gripping me though and I wanted to play it I just couldn't get past the controls). I much prefer how RE6 handled, it felt more natural and just what I'm used to, although I didn't feel it was the best game in general, mostly due to it being way too long and full of filler. I absolutely adored RE7 and I kinda want to fill my boots with more RE but there's no point getting REmake if it'll suffer from the same issue as RE4 (at least for me).

Yeah if you think RE4 is clunky and couldn't get past that then I don't think you'll enjoy REmake at all, even with the new control method.

Balls, I actually just remembered I have REmake on PS4 as it was free awhile back but I don't have PS+ active as I rarely use the console so I can't test it out without adding a month (unless 48 hour trial codes are still a thing?).
EDIT: Settings > Data Management > Auto Upload > Activate 2 day trial. Can be done once per account, 7 times per PS4. I'll try the REmake now, if I like it I'll buy it on PC for that sweet, sweet 60fps.
Not even slightly, lol. The controls are even clunkier, but the focus of the game isn't on combat, but exploration.

The Bakers wander with AI around a set area they patrol, there was some scripted scenes but more often than not they work dynamically (some scenes that even seem scripted aren't as scripted as you might think).
You really should consider giving RE4 another chance, man. You're missing out on one of the best games ever made. The game is perfectly balanced and designed around it's control scheme, and there's never really an instance where you need to strafe or move and shoot. In part what makes the game so incredible is it's encounter design, which is designed around the tank controls, and would fall apart without them. Beyond that, it's just so good, dude.
As for REmake, the HD remaster has both classic tank controls and an alternate control scheme where you simply move in the direction you push the stick. It might make the game more enjoyable for you, but I think it's very poorly implemented. It doesn't play nice with the fixed camera angles, constantly leading to you getting to you getting turned around during scene transitions (this is why the tank controls were implemented in the first place), and the enemy AI wasn't designed to be able to keep up with a character that can turn on a dime. You can literally run circles around the enemies, and the combat just feels broken as a result. The last thing I would want to do is to turn someone away from REmake (another all-time classic), but if you're really that averse to playing with tank controls, I'm not honestly sure I would recommend it. They're part and parcel to REmake's core design, unfortunately.
I could use a battle arena type mode. I liked the combat and how up close it felt. If I could get something with more ammo and enemies I'd be good.
Cracking open the
and then firing
home felt good. Love the smoke trail on the end of the gun too.
Madhouse kind of scaring me off. Watched a vid and it took 20 something shots to bring down (sorta big spoiler)

honestly? it most likely isn't. Game has very few locales, intense asset reuse, an extreme lack of enemy models and what not. Plus it had to be made in a way that would ensure it could maintain 60fps on a base ps4. Wouldnt be surprised if, when we get info on its budget, it is drastically inferior to however much capcom spent on resi6. Or resi5.
A visual tour de force this game was most certainly not designed to be.
I still enjoyed it a lot tho
I think that's one of the hardest fights on Madhouse. Once you get past that, it's not so bad!
I'll tell you guys one thing that really unnerved me.
It was the
fight. I hate
Add in the fact that
Great boss fight.
It was the
Margie boss
spider ladies and that greenhouse fight was tense as shit.
her visual design was disgusting and the fact that she was birthing big ass kill mosquitos and eeewwwwwww.
Great boss fight.
That's encouraging! Ah well, maybe I will give it a shot down the road.

It's fairly easy once you know how to set up an attack you can block entirely. It's just keeping distance pretty much. As goonie said, it's pretty much the gate for that mode.
Didn't do much blocking on normal. Have to step up my arm game.
Yeah if you block the fight becomes way easier.
I would argue the following section
where you evade Jack
if you get caught it's basically game over with no way to defend yourself and no way to outrun him.
