Resident Evil 7

My plan, if getting it Day 1, is to be finished within 2 weeks and get about 70% value of it in trade credit for Nioh coming out in early Feb. Plans change but that's how I'm hoping it plays out anyway. Don't think it will have huge replayability.

You either have a very busy 2 weeks planned, or have a lot of faith the game will be 12+ hours long :P

Ah my gametime has gone down the drain lately. If it was a 10 hour story, I'd be doing well to have it finished in 2 weeks

Sephiroth_dude · 10-01-2017 3:16pm

I've absolutely no interest in playing this but I'll watch someone stream it from start too finish .

I'll stream the shyte out of my playthrough

I can imagine the amount of 'Let's Play' vids of yanks screaming in terror with every jump scare. "Oh My gosh you guys, I'm so scared right now. Like share and subscribe if you want to see me even MOAR scared!"

Played demo while misses watched it. I liked it and she actually liked it too. She was terrified.
I think they really kind of nailed the scary bit and atmosphere.
I got 80eu in one 4 all vouchers and I don't know what to get. I might pick it up, so I can play with misses. First watch the reviews obviously.

Thats the thing, I'm worried alot of effort has gone into making the demo great but the actual game itself will be underwhelming and very very short.. Capcom havent delivered on a resident evil game in over 12 years and im not buying this, oh look how creative we are and how much we have changed the formula :cool:

Unless i hear the game is actually a decent length, I'll hold off on trying it altogether or wait until its at a rock bottom price :pac:

If you're on PC you can preorder it for roughly €30, better than being slammed with +€70 for the console versions.

Actually got Resi 1 vibes off this.

Jim and Burns originally from VideoGamer.com made that live action trailer, represents the demo extremely well. I played the demo twice (once on VR) and I'll definitely be buying it on release and playing it on VR! I crawled through the demo out of sheer fear and tension, so it'll be one long playthrough. :pac:

Seriously class, looks like Capcom recorded a personal video for each of the big media sites.

This is freakin' amazing marketing - personalised in-game type videos. Just really very cool. Rolled my eyes at polygon labelling it "pretty clever/Uh, assuming Capcom actually sends the game."

Agreed thats certainly one of the more uniquely good marketing things I've seen, well played maybe not so crapcom :pac:

EDIT: If you mess around with the bitly address at the end of the video you can see other sites ones, like IGN etc. they are all the same just mention the sites in question.

I wonder if he's actually the voice actor for his character in the demo when he first enters the house for the ghost hunt show , sounds the exact same as him. Also i'd imagine the vcr had a scart connection but none of polygons TV's had one?

Yank TVs don't have scart

So, copies are out in the wild and theres a guy streaming it right now. Beware the spoilers.

Getting good player reviews from the leaked copies, posted on Neogaf. http://67.227.255.239/forum/showthread.php?t=1334287. One guy cleared it in 9 hours 5 minutes, said it's the 2nd best Resi in the franchise behind REmake.

Generic Dreadhead · 16-01-2017 11:24am

I would legitimately rather play a great ~10 game instead of an alright ~20 hour game.

I thank Titanfall 2's campaign for this new approach

Will wait for a price drop though, too rich for my blood atm

madcabbage · 16-01-2017 11:48am

If the atmosphere is great, then I can get over shorter overall lengths of games. I loved all the Resi franchise, this will be no different. Been holding off watching reveals and gameplay trailers, most of them give away to much nowadays. I'm lloking forward to having a go at this.

really looking forward to this, the only poor Re in the series was 6, I gave up quarter way through it. My favorite in the series are 1 remake, 2 and 4. If RE 7 is as good as those 3 then we are in for a very good game.

5 was horrendous, i still dont class RE4 as a resident evil. Deviated far too much from survival horror for me, Leon became Chuck Norris.

I'm still surprised they havent done a REmake evil 2, since it was the best resi evil by far.. I was kind of underwhelmed by REmake evil also, sure it mixed it up a bit but still nowhere as good as RE2.

Generic Dreadhead · 16-01-2017 4:02pm

5 was playable and fairly enjoyable for what it was. It didn't feel like a Resident Evil game, but it played out of as a desent Action-Shooter game.

6 on the other hand was a disjointed f**king mess where missions (or bosses usually) were either too hard or too easy and contained too much busy work and a cluster f**k of a story. And they made the UI worse.... the whole storing method for ammo and health thing was dumb

I've heard 5 really shines in Co-op playthroughs but haven't tried it myself.

Heathen! :pac:

Ah it was a fresh spin on a jaded fixed-camera formula. The only downside is that it spawned the likes of 5 (which was OK) and 6 (terrible).

Resi PT, I mean 7 should take everything back to horror in it's purest form.

It's in development, capcom announced it a while back.

I agree, but i would have preferred it if they didnt make it over actiony, like Leon doing summersaults through windows and round house kicking people at will.. And then the dodgy gun salesman "Not enuff cash" magically appearing everywhere.. Let me find my guns and upgrades on dead cops/soldiers/farmers plz :pac:

Heard there should be a demo of RE2 remake included in RE7. Don't know how true this is.

RE7 physical copies have been leaked/released early and there's no RE2 demo.

True... Actually watched a vid of what would have been resi 4.

I think it's way more atmospheric. And the Slender-like creature is terrifying.

Have it pre ordered from the game collection, wouldn't normally preorder games but pretty excited about this.

Just have to avoid spoilers till next week now. What's the story with the likes of IGN and plenty of other gaming channels making videos like "7 things you NEED to know before playing resident evil 7!" eh no I don't need to know a damn thing about it before I play it thank you very much.
