Resident evil 7

I wonder if there will be herbs and other healing items incorporated...

*gasps in Spanish*

I'm not convinced yet. I appreciate the return to horror after the backlash against 5&6 (Though I honestly feel like the Revelations games showed Capcom still knew how to blend action and horror like 4 did to be honest). The first person view is seriously going to be a sticking point for me. Now I'm not INHERENTLY against a first person perspective, after all the Metroid Prime games were absolutely fantastic and showed that you could take something and faithfully transfer it to a first person perspective, but I cannot shake the feeling that they are trying to bank on the void PT left in people, as well as the overwhelming success of other first-person horror games like Amnesia.

I need to see more than atmosphere trailers. I need to see things that really help make this feel like Resident Evil. I'm not expecting the protagonist to have secretly been Leon all along, but tossing green herbs and a photo with the Umbrella Logo on it into what looks like a standard, if effective, first person horror game isnt going to cut it for me.

If nothing else I'm still excited for the Resident Evil 2 REmake.

So RE7 in VR is game changing for me. Such a cool experience, the basement area genuinely shook me the first time.

I don't know if anyone's really been following this but it's worth noting how positive the press has been by what they've played : With only a few days till release it's worth getting HYPED



Here's where I get you on board with it, with a plethora of 4-5 hour impressions, and videos.





"The series is finally done playing catchup to 4. This is the confident re-imagining we should’ve got two sequels ago. All that matters is that it’s here now and it’s terrifying. If the remaining hours are as consistent as the five I got to play, few games in 2017 will come close to touching it, horror or otherwise." - PC GAMER ( link below )

"What I’ve played so far has been encouragingly strong, to the point where this could easily stand alone without the Resident Evil name as a great horror game. The fact that it still can with that name attached (and its connotations of a melon-biceped Chris Redfield fighting bone dinosaurs) probably says more. The four or five hours I’ve seen has actually been one of the best things I’ve played this year, riffing the series’ familiar values off the uncertainty of its newer ideas to create something unpredictable and, above all else, interesting." - GamesRadar

"Resident Evil 7 displays both confidence and humility – a tricky blend to achieve. It hasn’t stubbornly ignored successful trends that have fuelled modern horror games – like the widespread shift to first-person – nor has it simply mind its own reservoir of images and characters to create new terrors. For the first time in years, the series has looked outside of itself and this has resulted in a meaningful evolution of the series. But this isn’t a departure, far from it; this is a homecoming. Resident Evil 7 breaks its recent traditions in order to better serve the original design. Once again, you’re alone in a sprawling gothic house, surrounded by terrible things, and you have to survive. It feels at once both old and new, familiar and unknown, and – for the first time in years – like the most interesting and exciting horror game around." - IGN

"It might look different on the surface, but everything that made classic Resident Evil so great, for me, is present in Resident Evil 7 - uniquely weird puzzles, a foreboding atmosphere, a memorable locale and genuinely intimidating enemies. It isn't action horror or horror entertainment - it's real, classic survival horror." - Eurogamer
