Resident Evil 7

Fuck, when are they going to announce RE7 ? I've had enough of waiting. I want to see what this game looks like

RE6 was released in October 2012, and here we are, more than 3 years later, still waiting for an official announcement of RE7. That is unprecedented.

...and most appreciated.

Perhaps, it could be an indication that CAPCOM is doing something right for a change? After all, the pattern is set for a new era (1/2/3 = Era 1, 4/5/6 = Era 2)

RE7 in my opinion should be original. In other words have the main character be a new one rather than using existing ones. Also lets go back to the roots rather than some parasite. Hopefully REmaster and 0master will motivate Capcom to use similar mechanics for 7.

I don't mind who is the main character of RE7, but I guess it will be Jill Valentine. I wouldn't even be surprised if Chris is part of it, too.

That's right. My guess is that they cancelled several versions of the game like with RE4 at the time. But damn, 3 years without any sign of that game.
Perhaps they needed more time to get used to the new engine for the PS4 and One aswell ? Or they tried something new and couldn't make it right somehow ?(like open-world for instance ?)

With the high priority Capcom are giving these remasters I wouldn't be surprised if we see RE2make BEFORE RE7.

Not to gloat, but I called it lol. I forgot I had said this a few weeks before it was announced.

And speaking of RE2 I wonder if Capcom are focusing most of their attention on that rather than RE7. I mean, it was announced 6 months ago, so surely we'll be seeing a update on that before RE7 is announced. At this point I just can't see them randomly announcing 7 before the next E3, especially since they will probably be busy promoting Zero next year.

I overheard the typical talk of 'returning to Survival Horror roots'... Yeah, we'll see about that. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... well, you can't get fooled again.

June 13, 2016 – At the Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) E3 press conference today, Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, announced Resident Evil™ 7 biohazard, the next major entry in the renowned Resident Evil™ series. Resident Evil 7 sets a new course for the Resident Evil series as it leverages its roots and opens the door to a truly terrifying horror experience. A dramatic new shift for the series to first person view in a photorealistic style powered by Capcom’s new RE Engine, Resident Evil 7 delivers an unprecedented level of immersion that brings the thrilling horror up close and personal. Resident Evil 7 is scheduled for release on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system (the full gameplay experience will also be available via the included PlayStation®VR mode), Xbox One and Windows PC (Steam and Windows 10 store) across North America and Europe on January 24, 2017.

Set in modern day rural America and taking place after the dramatic events of Resident Evil® 6, players experience the terror directly from the first person perspective. The Resident Evil® 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour demo, also announced today, portrays events leading up to the main game and ties directly into the impactful PlayStation VR “KITCHEN” tech demo first shown at E3 2015. In the new teaser demo, the player awakens inside a dilapidated cottage on an ominous plantation mansion. Can they make it out alive?

Resident Evil 7 embodies the series’ signature gameplay elements of exploration and tense atmosphere that first coined “survival horror” some twenty years ago; meanwhile, a complete refresh of gameplay systems simultaneously propels the survival horror experience to the next level. Terrifying fans at events across the globe last year, the PlayStation VR “KITCHEN” tech demo was developed utilizing the RE Engine’s VR oriented tools, and is the foundation on which the talented Resident Evil team has crafted the immersive horror experience in Resident Evil 7. Powered by the RE Engine in tandem with industry leading audio and visual technologies, Resident Evil 7 is poised to deliver a disturbingly realistic experience that will define the next era in horror entertainment.

PlayStation®Plus subscribers can now download the standalone teaser demo for PlayStation 4 called Resident Evil 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour and will have first access before it is available on other platforms at a later date. Players can get a taste of what they can expect from Resident Evil 7 with a sampling of the nail-biting exploration and terrifying atmosphere the game will offer when it releases early next year. Attendees of E3 will be able to try out a demo on either PlayStation 4 or PlayStation VR at the Capcom booth in South Hall #2023 or try the PlayStation VR demo at the Sony booth in West Hall #4522 and #4144.

That surprise reveal trailer was pretty great admittedly.

I liked the atmosphere and graphics, seems it'll be interesting at the least.

First person = not touching ever

[Drake]

Why? Horror in first person works, as seen with the system shock series, call of Cthulhu: dark corners of the earth, condemned series, and mods of the half-life series. To write off this game just because it has changed its perspective is baffling, at least give it till some gameplay from tgs until then.
