maskedmaniac Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Yeah it had online gameplay, but I enjoyed the single player mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepy Bro Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 7 is really good. I think you need to play it before coming to a judgement. 7 has nailed that 'Resident Evil' gameplay that's been missing for so long. Good to know, I didn't get a chance to play RE7 this weekend... on a side note, at least all of the painting in our living room and kitchen has been finished. So there's that.

CROSS-Out Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 So without spoilers, how is 7 guys? Are the jumps very jump-scare like? And how prevalent is the combat in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdon Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I watched a review and while I normally don't take reviews too seriously, gamingbolt on youtube gave it a 9 out of 10. It's the only one I've watched. I'm trying not to see too much. I think the combat is pretty prominent the further you go. All I know for sure is, I can't wait to play this tomorrow.

Ernez Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 So I've watched a tiny bit of 7 and I don't mind it. I kinda like the horror aspect but you also get into the characters. That's kinda new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spamming Nooblet Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 To those of you playing RE7 with VR (im not), good luck people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Rayne Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Well, I'm pretty disappointed so far. The game is very easy. Puzzles and progression are much more linear and straight-forward (in comparison to past RE games), and overcoming/avoiding enemies requires little strategy or thought. There's almost no sense of dread, and the game really stocks you up on supplies. It's basically 'RE for dummies'. Unfortunately, it's exactly what I expected it to be: mediocre, at best.

Gamevolt Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm curious how different this game will be when I play it on the TV. First run is currently on VR and it's pretty cool. Definitely adds to the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdon Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'm only a couple hours in but so far it's pretty fun. It's definitely different but still has a lot of the old Resident Evil feel. Also amazing news. You can find gunpowder and chemical fluid and make ammo. Even enhanced ammo. Love RE 3 for that reason alone, so to have at least a taste of that feature in the game is pretty cool. Also the Bakers seem like interesting bad guys. Even though it reminds me of Texas Chainsaw Massacre a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda got that feeling when I saw the camera angle for the game. First person view kinda limits the overall action of a game and simplifies it some. Basically just cuts off half of the overall world in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liontamer* Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 This is clearly a Resident Evil game. The game captures the feel of the original with concepts such as ammo conservation, manual saving, item box, and item management; and with how the objectives are designed. You'll be required to find various keys and to revisit certain locations in order to unlock different doors. However, it is not a total return to its roots. It brings forth a lot of new concepts, and that's not a bad thing at all. Resident Evil has been known to evolve with time with new ideas.I'm pretty sure that games like Outlast and Alien have had a huge influence on the direction of RE7. The whole hide and seek element of the game is something we haven't seen in any RE game before, but it works. The puzzles are basically non-existent, and they require little thinking, which sucks. I wish that the game was more challenging. Some boss fights have felt awkward or easy so far. Maybe there should have been a harder difficulty to select when you're starting the game.

Pretty sure you unlock a madhouse difficulty when you beat it. Some of the fights haven't been too easy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished the game today playing on Playstation VR and I think Resident Evil 7 is the game that proves when used right VR is not a gimmick and can have a bright future.

liontamer* Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 With the success of RE7, we might be looking at the resurgence of survival horror, a genre that has been in obscurity for more than a decade, and I couldn't be happier.

In any case, I hope we see a sequel to Alien at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The genre was practically dead until it came out and after that, we've seen it start to finally build again.
