At last, Capcom has made reference to the existence of Resident Evil 7!

 

Dengeki Playstation's 600th issue included a Q&A with a few game industry dudes, and among them was Resident Evil producer Masachika Kawata.

 

Details are sparse, but when asked, "And what about Resident Evil 7?"

>>Kawata replied, "We’re currently not at a state to talk about it… but please stay tuned."

 

Prior to that question, he was asked why RE isn't scary worth a shit anymore: "They say that the Resident Evil series is losing its horror touch. What are your thoughts on this?"

>>Kawata replied,"Since there’s been more spinoff titles, I can see how it can be perceived in such a way. And of course I believe that we should produce titles that bring out the horror. I’m thinking about it and also preparing for it."

 

Sure, let's blame it on all the spinoffs, homeboy... spinoffs like Resident Evil 4, onward.
 

Well, here's to hoping that we'll see a return to survival horror in Resident Evil 7. I'm honestly down with the action-oriented RE games as long as they push the story with my beloved characters further along, but it'd be nice to see a slower-paced, survival-horror-based Resident Evil again.

Hope to hear an announcement by Halloween. However I doubt that'll happen. If we're lucky, E3 2016, probably for a March 2017 release date

Fix'd. RE4 still had a good share of creepy and scary moments to it, imo, especially in the earlier parts of the game when you first arrive in the village of the damned.

I agree, that 4 had more scary parts than 5 (being the least-scary one), but RE4 turned the series into an action game with more ammo than you can carry. Having virtually infinite ammo to blast away every baddie that comes your at you has a way of diminishing much of the fear factor. The only truly scary part of that game was the prison section with the Regenerators hidden away. That "village of the damned" intro was fun, tense, and novel, but it wasn't scary.

Oh fucking shit... they revealed this game tonight, and... NOT good. I just heard that the main character is not going to be a Resident Evil hero, but rather a nameless person, or at least somebody who does not have a name right now, so that it feels like you, the player, are the main character... FUCK! HOW THE FUCK IS THIS ALLOWED TO BE CALLED A NUMBERED RESIDENT EVIL GAME?!

Oh, so THIS is the real thread...damn, and here I thought I nanja'd Prime to be first, only to have him dupe me with the better thread. I guess GOTY 2017 needs 3 threads to contain our excitement

So last night I livestreamed my initial playthrough of this demo. It was a lot shorter than I expected, and both the menus and the PR released on this demo were misleading, leading me to believe that there'd be more to it. The menus have button options for attacking, and the PR mentions that they don't "want to spoil" anything... though honestly I don't know what there is to spoil here... aside, potentially, from the protagonist/avatar's name, which might be Clancy. Oh, and the name/general identification of at least one of the enemies (hillbilly something-or-other).

 

The demo ends, and you can hear me audibly disappointed in its brevity and abrupt ending. After that, I play again, wondering if there's a sort of "New Game+" mode. I find some new items the 2nd time around, but can't figure out where they go, and conclude that they're useless. After completing the demo twice, I call it a night and close out the stream.

 

So, here's the complete Resident EVIl™ Demo played through twice by yours truly:

Lots of great info in this interview, including that the switch to 1st person came before the decision to hop on to the VR bandwagon, it's a new cast of characters, and development has been going on since 2014. Herbs are back, and instead of mowing down zombie hordes, going back the its roots of RE1 are far more likely with fewer enemies that all are fought differently.
