That looks familiar.

Those old mansions do look similar, but apparently be an article on it in their upcoming issue releasing on the 15th, and those two images are a teaser: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201609/13115396.html

EDIT: For the new page, I will also quote this:

Made a topic for the upcoming Resident Evil TGS Special Stage Event coming up.

Maybe a bit early, but decided to from the Sony conference and to raise awareness and discussion on the gaming side.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Glad I didn't stay up. Looks like all the good stuff on Saturday.

Is it a safe bet that Ada will be in Vendetta since anything Leon is in Ada is in with Degeneration being the exception?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Is it a safe bet that Ada will be in Vendetta since anything Leon is in Ada is in with Degeneration being the exception?

She might, I wouldn't be surprised if it's smaller than damnation though. Like a phone call, or Leon going "Ada gave me some Intel on this area"

 

[Akiller]

Is it a safe bet that Ada will be in Vendetta since anything Leon is in Ada is in with Degeneration being the exception?

"Ada!"
"Long time no see, Leon"
"What are you doing here?What's happening?"
"Sorry Leon, maybe i'll answer another time"
"Ada, wait!"

 

[strafer]

I hope Ada has those leather pants in the movie.

Looks like some images leaked from the next trailer.

There's a pistol and some other stuff we haven't seen

ehh who is this guy and why would he have these images?

I built a gaming pc for VR and then the kitchen demo deal happened.

You win this round Sony.

 

[Dusk Golem]

I've been watching a currently airing moe anime about this group of girls making a game that's only like, 20-30% actually about games, New Game. The newest episode is about their game being revealed at the "Tokyo Game Expo" (they totally timed the episode to air around now), but this caught my eye and made me giggle:

 

[ResidentDante]

"Ada!"
"Long time no see, Leon"
"What are you doing here?What's happening?"
"Sorry Leon, maybe i'll answer another time"
"Ada, wait!"

Lol, it's like this each time. Ada needs to have the time to sit down for a long chat with Leon. Every single time they meet now Ada's in a hurry.

I hope Ada has those leather pants in the movie.

Yes!

 

[Jawmuncher]

With those ambassador pics, we're definitely getting a demo update.

What's interesting is one of those was mentioned in the rumor video awhile back. So that weapon is possibly the first one we get in the game.

I guess I should go media blackout for RE7, I remember the story for 6 was leaked pretty early and ruined a lot of surprises for me.

I feel like the Famitsu stuff is covering the second demo since two of the images are the same, if not more complete in content, as what we received in the Ambassador email.

Part of my suspicion of that is that someone in one of those screens is supposed to be just in the demo.

 

[TreIII]

Love the models for Leon and Chris in Vendetta.

I guess Chris' slightly updated look makes all the more sense

Spoiler

if he really is going to show up in 7, as well.

Chris with a full beard is gonna be so cool.

Would be the easy character to give an appearance when you think about it. Especially if Dusks detecive thread is on the money and the mansion events spiral into a bigger outbreak. Makes sense for BSAA Chris to show up on the scene.

 

[Stallion Dan]

RE stuff always get leaked and posted openly in the most random of places, good luck.

Biggest BS was Revelations, that actually didn't get a leak, but then about a week before it released some Euro website who reviewed the game openly blew open the twist about Jessica in their review. Hope they got blacklisted for that BS.

 

[strafer]

Bearded Chris?

Im okay with that.

 

[Jawmuncher]

New beginning hour demo hitting Japan today.

 

[JayEH]

Trailer sets a good atmosphere but...still not really seeing the gameplay loop yet. We saw a gun for a couple of seconds but most of the trailer was running. Hopefully the demo shows off what you do.

watched it again. I don't know how I feel. This still doesn't look like RE. Why won't they show the regular enemies? Why are you getting destroyed by one man?

 

[Dusk Golem]

If anyone wants some weird news, a demake of RE1 that's also a crossover is releasing on mobiles very soon.

 

[Jawmuncher]

The new trailer did nothing for me. I'm more of a fan of The lore and action. Right now it's not offering much in those departments

Like I really fucking hate it. I'm all for big changes. But what I have seen and played so far has not caught me. I'm not a big horror fan so that sort of appeal is out the window. On paper and the rumors it sounds great, but whenever I see it I just get disheartened.

Hoping the updated demo quells some of this dissapoinemt. Still looking forward to the game, but it kills me that nothing they have shown has excited Me. Right now the biggest excitement is from the rumors the game has.

The dinner scene being a big example. That is exciting a lot of people. Did absolutely nothing for me. Outside of telling us how their virus might work. A big part is I just don't see the RE series as scary. I felt it's a took its used but not it's sole identity.

But apparently I'm wrong in that, since the majority of posts on gaming are scary = RE is back.

I think a big factor is that at this point RE and MGS are the only series in gaming i care about. With MGS limping along, I would hate to become uninterested in the future of RE. Especially one where I'm told I'm wrong for liking the games I like, and not being a "real fan" because of them.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I always forget about this place.

The VR aspect of this is so hyping me up. Its clearly made from the ground up for VR. Its going to be the scariest game I ever play easily.

As for the gameplay lets hope we see it in action at TGS. I hope its back to its roots, lots of inventory management and getting from one place to another by the skin of you teeth.

i feel similar. Don't really want to post anything in gaming because I know I will get jumped on lol. I don't really get the posts of people saying it's time to eat crow when I did not see any combat in that trailer except for you shooting an invincible enemy.

So much for me going media blackout but I also agree. I normally love horror games above anything else but not in first person and I feel like we lost awesome gameplay.

I'll make a thread tomorrow to the likes of "what Is re to you and why can't all re fans just get along".

Not gonna bother with gaming side atm. Since it'll turn into Old vs New again.

Which is tiring. You would think horror fans would be more humble after the length theywaited for a new game.

I never recalled action fans talking much shit as classic fans did back in the day in all of the RE action threads. It doesn't help when so many posts are just "that was scary RE is back'. Like damn I wish my standards for a RE game were that low.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Like, I'm even more confused now. The music cues, lighting, and camera angles tell me I'm supposed to be tense and afraid. The dialogue and execution of story is utterly goofy, though.

 

[Jawmuncher]

To me the marketing is really making things evident that capcom is trying to go for everyone who got off the boat with 5 and or 6.

When you look at the reactions it's more than apparent. I figure they guess that those who liked 5 and 6 are big fans that they'll buy 7 regardless.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

edit: I'm being a grump.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Because it isn't the usual utterly goofy dialogue and execution?

Seemed just a tad exaggerated and stereotype driven, but otherwise seemed to be aiming for a better goal than the majority of the series in that department. We're also lacking a lot of context, so it felt a bit bizarre with how Mrs Baker went off.

It's the writer of Spec Ops the Line, so it should turn out fine as long as you're okay with RE not hanging onto the tradition of terrible VA work and lines. Which it could possibly still have.


Edit: On a lore note, do you think the Plantation may tie into any of the founders/leaders of Umbrella? Historically those gents (and ladies down the line) screwed over family and colleagues left and right on their climb to power and discovery.

I think the high sales numbers of RE6 practically guarantee that Capcom will be doing another game like it someday. They're just not going to make it a mainline game anymore.

I just wish they'd announce that third unannounced game already. Saturday might be the day.

Maybe the reason they haven't announced it yet is because it actually is an action game and they don't want all the longtime fans to stop praising them right now for finally going back to horror with RE7. I saw all the whining after both ORC and Umbrella Corps were unveiled and later released, a LOT of fans can't handle that a spinoff plays differently, even though that's what they're fucking supposed to do lmao.

 

[JayEH]

Well this marketing isn't working with me. I gave the game a chance at gamescom and another chance at TGS. It's apparent the game isn't for me at this point. Will play it eventually so I can have a proper opinion but not on day 1.

Of course RE has always been goofy. I'm confused because that trailer gave me a completely different vibe from the first two trailers. It's intentionally goofy to the point I'm not sure what response they were trying to illicit. "Welcome to the family", the guy throwing food, "not again", the "son of a bitch" outburst was so incongruous with the first half of the trailer which used generic epic music which itself is campy at this point because it's so overused. This is Revelations 2 level of camp. But the first two trailers outside of a single line lacked this and maybe some of the stuff from the news crew in the demo. Hence why I'm confused at the marketing.

Edit: but apparently gaming side is loving it and find is scary?

 

[derFeef]

You guys think they ditch coop for RE7 completely or make an entirely seperate and different mode (Mercs)?

 

[kogasu]

Still not sure how to feel about the game as a whole. I'm hype to play the demo and get more of a feel for the game but the trailer did very little. It was literally just straight up going for like a mid-2000s horror movie trailer with gameplay segments. We asked for some action, they gave it and it was... unsatisfying. "Here's a gun *bang bang*" and that's it. Still find myself interested to see how it turns out.

I've only seen disturbing used in regards to the behavior and someone somehow finding Lucas' mutilation too much despite that we see nothing more than some red spritz. Some are also setting up their expectations based on Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Only thing folks seemed to actually call scary was Mr. Baker attempting to earn that X title. If even that.

Anyway, I'm hoping Saturday gives a solid picture on the tone of the game. I'm not finding it as discordant and understand how they are progressing the reveal, but it's time to dispense with the hiding of basic gameplay with the game 3 months out with very few major opportunities to show it off remaining.

I hope there's something there on the side, but I'm already preparing for the side story stuff to be the extent. I'm even doubting we'll have much in the way of endgame unlocks.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I do agree that if capcom has any action titles planned they probably are going to stay mum as to not hurt RE7. As was mentioned all of the complaints they would get just over spin-offs said a lot. Since I still say it's the horror fans who were always more mad than action fans. Action fans weren't going in REmake hd announced threads going "terrible", while that was the case with RE6 HD.

Right now it does feel like they want to appeal to those who have been made at the lack of horror for so long. Since in my eyes, action fans are the easiest to please and in general seem to be more accepting of change. I don't see too many fans of 4-6 being overly negative on 7. Most are still gonna give it a go and are still getting all the info..

However I don't completely blame horror fans. Since capcom caused this divide and never tried for the longest to appeal to both camps. Since you're never gonna make everyone happy with one game. Horror fans and action fans imo dont want a half measures like the Revelations series. Play to the strengths of either style and just make separate games for each side of the fanbase.

that chris redfield in the Vendetta movie is not very good.

It's not super discordant, it just took me by surprise.

I mean, at this point, it's kind of obvious that combat is highly secondary. From the footage we saw there was a weapon on screen for four seconds and any time the gun was fired, there was no hit reaction despite being shot in the chest.

that chris redfield in the Vendetta movie is not very good.

Yeah, it's super rough.

In the defense of classic fans, it's kinda been 14 years since they got a mainline game that pleases them. On the other hand, you're right, action fans don't actively thread shit either.

I'll give this game a go when it comes out despite all of my grumping. This style of game simply isn't preferred for me, though.

I just hope Roger Craig Smith is voicing Chris.

He wears his RE5 outfit though.

If you put him in a different outfit and didn't tell me he was Chris, I would never have guessed.

But Dusk Golem pointed out in the other thread that it might be a flashback of some sorts because there was a picture of a "normal" looking Chris.

Still doesn't look like the Chris from RE5 or 6.

 

[Caffeine]

ye chris looks younger leon looks the same

 

[Lightning Count]

I am in the mood for a co-op run of RE5 on the PS4 if anyone wants to join me. More than happy to play along with new players, I know the game from memory

PSN is LightningCamaro - send me and FR if you're interested, add RE5 in the title of the message and I will accept.

Spoiler

Would be the easy character to give an appearance when you think about it. Especially if Dusks detecive thread is on the money and the mansion events spiral into a bigger outbreak. Makes sense for BSAA Chris to show up on the scene.

Yeah, and it would set an appropriate tone.

Spoiler

Incidents about "ghosts" in the bayou and people disappearing aren't enough to really garner the BSAA's attention. But by the time things come to a head in RE7's plot, the BSAA will, of course, be acting reactionary and to the point where it's already almost too late.

But hey, at least Chris will likely be there to welcome Ethan to yet another "family", the BSAA, after all is said and done. We all know Ethan is going to be yet another superhero by the time this is over.

Also:

Spoiler

preemptively calling that Lucas Baker isn't all that bad. He's a twisted sumbitch, still, but I'm willing to bet, based on how his father and mother treat him, that's he's probably the only who could possibly end up on your side. Now, whether he actually lives to the end in any endings is another thing...
