I really hope people love this game, I honestly believe it is blowing away people minds of how intense and "new" this is from the series in some ways.
For the people who do not intend to buy the game, do yourself a favor and watch a stream on Twitch...such a great game to just even watch.

It IS an Outlast clone with some unnecessary gimmicks like weapons, item management, puzzle solving and item crafting.

Trust me. Madhouse is intended for your second playthrough. Normal is quite tough anyway from my experience. Madhouse is for people that already know the game.

Are there a lot of jumpscares in this game? I'm interested in watching a playthrough but I'm also a huge coward.

While the game is more based around an unsettling atmosphere, I won't lie to you. There's definitely a few moments.

People called Romanes they go the house?
There's a hint in the bedroom on a note, but if you want more info....
Go look at the other clocks in the house - either the one you take the pendulum from, or the other one you put it onto
Also, finished a normal playthrough - not a bad time, by any stretch of the imagination. Ethan's terrible walk/run speed was probably the worst offender in getting me killed.
Either that, or the enemies still having RE4-style 'dodge' unnatural moments which make you waste ammo.
Still, there's a good chunk of content to go forward from here with, should Capcom wanna pursue it.

Did you
run into the hallway and close the door? She slices through the door, it's awesome. Doesn't seem scripted either, since I didn't have to go into the hallway

Are the VHS sections on console awful looking too? Maybe someone has a screenshot at hand? It looks bad on PC.
There probably is.

Ethan having some kind of back-dash would help, that's for sure.

and the limited enemy variety. 2? 3?

This is always the best way to do things if you can convince fans to turn up regardless, and still manage to interest casual crowds.
Still only halfway through (i guess), there's really no other new enemy later in the game?
The fuck? D:

Ok so I've gotten to..the second tape?
Playing in VR and It's good, not scary its very tame but it's definitely good.
But
So far
Also beginning game spoilers, it's very annoying that

Only thing that's disappointing me about the game is
the lame way you get your endings. Just a lame button-prompt choice. Was hoping for something a bit more interesting like usage of the tapes or time in which you completed a certain task. Ya know like RE1's endings.
I guess we'll never get another RE game that has as much ending stuff as RE1 does :/

You crushed my dream.
During the boss fight? I didn't even think of that.
I stayed in the attic. It was cool using the wooden pillars as cover and shooting her while she slices them up.
I'm not even half way through but I'm considering it at this point only just behind RE2 and Remake in terms of my favourite RE's.
And I loved 4 and 3 to a lesser extent.
Anecdotal: I've been non committed to games in the last six months. I've bought games on PSN sales regularly and my backlog has accumulated. I've not been completing games barely let alone 100%'ing them.
This - has my undivided attention, I will complete and likely go again with Madhouse

Hey, you asked.
So for those who have played and completed both, what is better The Evil Within or this? I guess I'm curious since TEW was in a way supposed to harkin back to RE4 and such and while RE7 isn't harking so much back to RE4 as much as RE1. Which do you guys feel is the better 'proper' Resident Evil? (Ignoring the fact that RE7 is RE... If that makes sense?)

Alright, I just got welcomed to the family and got the pocket knife. Taking a short break.
I'm having real issues remembering L3 is sprint. I'll quick turn to get away from Jack, and then...
SLOWLY WALK AWAY. I feel like an idiot every time.

Yeah like I said I like it, and it has some RE elements but there's definitely something lost which just makes it this whole different game.
If you wanna play Resident Evil then go play REmake, because it's not here.
But it is good game so far.

Only one thing would've made this game the perfect RE to me anyway
Classic Zombiesi can't fuckin stand the Revelation style enemies
I feel
that's going to be done with Resident Evil 8. Clearly this was a game testing the waters with the new mechanics and isolated setup so it was perfect to contain some things and expand further if the game is a success.
My ideal dream for the next installment with this style is to be set into a Town/small city urban environment and have the classic T-variation enemies returning; Lickers, Hunters, Zombies/Crimson Heads. All this hidden within the buildings and a varied time cycle and you're a survivor trying to survive the hell hole of Umbrellas doings.

Played the first hour or so while the rest is still downloading. So good. Bit scary and tense too. I'm gonna love this.

As a fan of TEW I still think RE7 trumps it in terms of going back to survival horror and even atmosphere, and TEW had some great atmosphere already.

Oh my gosh, that's what these enemies remind me of. I still like these a lot more than the ones in Rev1 though. These have much better movement and the fact you can dismember them is really cool.

It's a different game on madhouse. There are new upgrade paths, item/enemy location are different, more coins, new weapons...
RE7 definetly feels more consistent. The Evil Within was an everything and the kitchen sink approach to horror. Little bit of everything. RE has a vision and sticks to it for the most part.

I'm having some micro stutters on the PC version on borderless windowed, 1920x1080, 59.94hz refresh rate, v-sync off, normal method rendering, 1 resolution scaling, texture filtering very high, mesh quality very high, AA is on FXAA+TAA, motion blur on, depth of field on, shadow quality very high, dynamic shadows on, cache on, ambient occlusion SSAO (variable), bloom on, volumetric lighting quality on high.
How should I fix this? I7-6700k, GTX970, 16 gigs of RAM.

So you're saying you want the RE2 of this game.
For those who have the game, which describes it better:
1. A game whose primary purpose is giving the player the spooks, sacrificing its gameplay in service of that goal
2. A game whose primary purpose is giving the player a satisfying gameplay loop, sacrificing its spooks in service of that goal (RE4/5)
RE4 is one of my favorite games of all time, but the horror games I've tried, even highly regarded ones, don't really stick with me (SH2 has a great story though). I played the RE7 demo and it seems like it's firmly in the "gameplay serves horror" camp, but the OP says it's balanced?
So I guess my question is, does the gameplay stand on its own as being interesting/engaging even if the horror aspect doesn't do much for me?

I can only answer for myself and the answer is definitely no.
I'm actually in this thread because I've been trying to convince myself to buy this despite my negativity for it just because I need something to tide me over until Nioh comes out. The way the demo was handled and the general weirdness in terms of marketing left a bad taste in my mouth and I somehow still have a hard time understanding how it's apparently this enjoyable yet was total shit in the demo.
I know I'm in the minority with that but you asked haha.
PS: I also can't stand Alien Isolation though which a ton of people in the RE7 have been praising alongside their positive impressions of the game, that's not helping for me.
