Resident Evil 7
The 7th Resident Evil
Reply
Demo up on PSN! Very promising.

Played through it last night and it's much more sinister than the slightly camp horror of previous games.

Fingers crossed they keep it creepy for the main game.
I don't mind a mix of jump scares and action but if it's all just jump scares then it can GTFF.
Well this is just a demo thing (in a similar vein to the Silent Hill one) so not fully representative of the finished game.

BOO!
The demo gave me actual honest-to-God goose bumps. Nice! Seems like the kind of game that can only lose from being shoehorned into the Resident Evil franchise.
Very PT-esque, but enjoyable all the same, if really short.

Apparently there are several endings, and I never did find a purpose for that dummy finger.
Ooh, I'll play through again.
One weird thing.

when you play the videotape you find in the chained up cupboard, the cupboard is still chained up. How did the tape get in there?

It was put in then chained up.

Whoever told you there are different endings is talking shit
There are two endings that I've seen.

I've played it through twice and couldn't get anything other than opening the back door

It would be really good if we could get rid of that Dimlie tbh.
To start towards the second ending:

Start the game. Immediately go to the fireplace and pull the handle. Go through the door, you'll find the missing fuse for the fusebox...


(No spoilers for ending, just how to get started.)

Ooh, cheers!
Later, hilarity occurs.

Getting out of the first village and not getting out of the first village?
I've got three endings to this so far.

1)

Went and got the video, watched the video, got the key, went through the door

2)

Opened the fireplace, got the fuse, got the video, watched the video, went upstairs, answered the phone

3)

The difference between the last two isn't huge:

The person on the phone says different stuff
Ah cool. Cheers.
Some other bits - you can unlock that locked drawer:

During the video, look to the left of the fridge for a lockpick.


And (alternate ending spoilers)

You can get back downstairs after answering the phone if you keep your back to a wall.


When we played my buddy saw the ghost on the stairs but I missed it. I though he must of imagined it but he insisted he did and a YouTube search after we finished playing revealed him to be correct. Irritatingly, it didn't occur to me to use the "share" button and take a look at the video.
Also, you can watch the video over and over again if you feel the need.
I saw the ghost on the stairs on my first playthrough. :'(
New stuff! Time to dig it out again.
Some nice fella or gal has put the 10 uber short teaser trailers together in one video.

Here 'tis.



Frankly, I'm excited about all of this. It's so different but so familiar it's surely going to be good, right?
It looks good but I'm bracing myself for pap.

Gutted that the Silent Hill game got canned :(
Got to get it, just to try the VR, even if it is an after thought....
The demo has been updated again with a big new slice of creepiness, and now includes combat. I died. Tomorrow I shall have another go.
Anyone escaped the house after the new update to the demo? You get access to the basement and blammo weapon and stuff.
Got out!

I got the "infected" ending, then got the "true" ending. Went online to see if we'd missed anything and found out there are murders to solve.

After 90 minutes we found one and it was so insanely hard we watched a video of the rest.

I'll do them at some point so I can get the (presumably) "tru dat double tru" ending.
It's out today and is reviewing very well! I'm kinda excited about this one.
Whoop! WHOOOOOOOP!
Has anyone actually seen this in the shops?

Morrisons didn't have it earlier and I'm sure games don't come out in the uk until Thursday. Anyone?
It used to be Friday but that was back in the old days... They get released whenever now don't they?

Anyway, Resident Evil 7 looks awesome! Proper scary.
It's usually Friday because the chart sales tracking runs Friday to Friday, so releasing then means you get all the initial sales in a single week for tracking purposes. For the same reasons, in the US it's Tuesday.

Really big titles that are confident of selling well are sometimes Tuesday here too, to reduce "my friends in America already have it" syndrome.

My boss picked up his copy today (from Game I think). He's tried a few of the PS4 VR games and while he's been impressed with the VR technology itself, he's been waiting for something that felt more than a tech demo. I spoke to him this afternoon and he seems very impressed with it so far.
Excellent. I'll leave my house tomorrow then...BUT ITS STRAIGHT HOME AFTERWARDS.
I've played a couple of hours of this today.

It. Is. Brilliant.

I know we knew it wasn't going to be another Resi 4-6 from the demo, but it's still seriously impressive how much this isn't another Resi game but is still a Resi game.

So far I fucking love it. Don't watch anything, don't read anything, no trailers, no nothing, go in completely blind.

That being said here's a minor and vague spoiler for those who can't resist ruining their games.

The bit in the garage is mind blowing. Weeeeeeee.
In VR this is just next level brilliantness.

All the bollocks about Mario 64 levels of 'paradigm shift' is true.
