GOTY. I don't care what you faggots say. Spec Ops had a GOAT story.
>kill zombie
>flashbacks of its family and friends
>DO YOU FEEL LIKE A HERO YET
10/10
>>341448336
So RE7 is officially DOA.
>>341448487
>I don't care what you faggots say
Nah son, no one cares what you say, Spec Ops has arguably the shittiest story ever. Literally Uncharted tier with "le twist".
>>341448594
switch zombies with bows and youve nailed it
>>341448336
He he the one responsible for the game being about GHOSTS now?
Because fuck that fampai
>>341449458
>"Spec Ops has arguably the shittiest story ever." replies one Faggot.
>>341449567
games not about ghosts, though
just wait
>>341449736
>Magical mannequins that follow you around the room
>Ring girl that teleports around the house
>Redneck family man who can teleport behind you, even if your in a room where he couldn't possible sneak up on you, and also walk down a hallway only to completely disappear.
>That blair witch shit with Andre
Yeah, nah. Unless this virus makes you have visions that also show up on a video tape magically, this isn't a bioweapon. That shit is straight up spooks.
>>341450135
its already been stated that the demo is not a narrative representation of the full game
that much is true
>>341450225
Well the house and the ghost girl are literally on the box art of the game, so I think it's fair to say that they're at the very least partially involved with the game's actual plot even if the stuff with the camera crew isn't.
>>341450478
no ones stated that the girl is a ghost
the house is a central theme of the game but its not a ghost house
>>341450635
Protag may just be tripping due to the infection and possibly end up being a villain in the main game
>>341450731
the demo is not a narrative part of the game
all will be revealed sooner or later
Yurop outsource confirmed.
Another Lost Planet 3/DMC: Devil May Cry is on it's way.
Man, what a relieve.
NO BUY.
>>341451023
game is internally made
story is too
but pearsey helped with narrative
>>341450918
It's all first person
>>341451149
no one has ever denied that
>>341450635
She, as well as the other stuff going on, is completely supernatural in origin.
>>341450731
That doesn't explain why the hallucinations show up the other dude's video tape.
>>341450918
No one is arguing that. However, saying that we should ignore the blatant supernatural stuff is still pretty silly. Especially since Capcom has flat out stated:
>The teaser, Nakanishi said through a translator, is intended to give Resident Evil fans a taste of what next year's survival horror game will be. Just don't expect it to be in the main game.
>Resident Evil 7's teaser is "fully representative" of the kind of experience players will get when the game hits PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One in January. But the developers say they didn't want to spoil the game's content, so they created the one-off demo.
The events arn't related to the main plot, but the style, gameplay, and themes (including the ghost shit as indicated by the game's box art) are going to carry over.
>>341448336
You mean that game that is barely worth a fuck but has achieved cult status for being released when the market of TPS's were saturated with nothing but shit?
>>341451123
Any confirmation on this?
>>341448487
No, it didn't. The type of analysis that Spec Ops is parroting from Heart of Darkness inherently does not work in a video game setting, and it sure shows in Spec Ops.
>>341451268
>She, as well as the other stuff going on, is completely supernatural in origin.
b.o.w.
youll see
>That doesn't explain why the hallucinations show up the other dude's video tape.
for demo purposes
>The events arn't related to the main plot, but the style, gameplay, and themes (including the ghost shit as indicated by the game's box art) are going to carry over.
The "ghost" part has a reasoning that resounds with the rest of the series' lore
youll see
>>341448336
"The game wasnt shit I made it shit on purpose!"
fuck that guy
>>341451770
>you'll see
Okay, Capcom.
>>341451770
>b.o.w. youll see
Bio Organic mannequins that move on their own and Bio Organic ghosts
>for demo purposes
I don't see what it being a demo has anything to do with that.
>The "ghost" part has a reasoning that resounds with the rest of the series' lore
No, as I stated above that's just silly even for Resident Evil standards. Especially with this game apparently trying to be more serious in tone.
You sound like a kid with your fingers in your ear going LALALALA to ignore all evidence to the fact that the game is going full Sweet Home/Resident Evil 3.5
>>341452217
when you play the final game
you will see you are wrong
oh yes, you will
archive this thread
>>341451456
Heart of Darkness works fine in videogames. If you think about, Condemned: Criminal Origins is kinda like Heart of Darkness
>>341449458
>Literally Uncharted tier
You don't understand what writing means. Even the Uncharted game with a bad plot still had better written dialogue than most games.
>>341452217
>Inb4 the game ends up actually being a pseudo-remake of Sweet Home, and the Resident Evil series goes full circle.
>>341450135
>nah. Unless this virus makes you have visions that also show up on a video tape magically, this isn't a bioweapon. That shit is straight up spooks.
Or your character is crazy.
>>341452217
It's not like RE hasn't explored ghosts before. 1 was supposed to be ghosts. 3.5 had ghosts and other supernatural shit. It's probably going to be like that, your character is infected with some virus that makes them hallucinate.
>>341452557
Crazy doesn't generally show up on video tapes.
>>341452572
Yeah, and both times they decided against it because it was a bad idea.
>>341452572
also a lot of BOWs throughout the series can turn invsible/camoflage
>>341452736
Crazy does show upif your character is the one viewing the video tapes.
>>341452736
sure it does, you are so crazy you think you are moving around in the video tape and figuring out things that you actually already knew
>>341452736
>Yeah, and both times they decided against it because it was a bad idea.
Not really. Ghosts are scarier to japs anyway, since they actually believe in them.
>>341449458
Uncharted stories are great you filthy nigger.
>>341452572
>Biohazard
>Ghosts aren't biological
No ghosts. I won't allow it.
>>341448336
Wait, what? I thought nips wrote Resident Evil's story and characters?
Oh boy
>Resident evil
>Ghost shit
Pick one
Id rather have them rename the game than make a shitty silent hill alike using one of my favorite titles..
Is Capcom smoking some dank weed?
>>341452868
So we should have yokai in Resident Evil 8 then.
Literally the only thing in this that will be in the full game are the assets and *maybe* the inventory system.
Do you guys think the demo will be out soon on Steam?
>>341452742
Camouflage doesn't explain the mannequins moving on their own when you so much as look away for an instant Condemned style.
>>341453515
No, probably not. I think RE7 is only going to be released on PS4.
>>341448336
Where is Leon? Can you roundhouse kick the zombies? What a shitty game, RE is finished.
>>341453515
No, PC users could just go through the files and uncover the supposed remaining secrets.
Wait, is it western made now?
>>341453684
Nope
>>341453359
story by japan
dialogue by pearsey
>>341453684
WRONG
It's also coming to X-bone and PC, like most of the games at Sony's conference.
>>341453684
Only the Demo was PS4 only
>>341448336
Now I'm interested. I still have some mixed feelings about it being way too reminiscent of other horror games such as Amnesia, Outlast and PT. There isn't really much of RE, but who knows.
first RE I'm interested in since CV
>tfw horror games bore me
>probably won't be able to enjoy it if it's anything like they demo and you are just walking around looking at things like it's fucking Gone Home
Hope the gameplay remains interesting. Plenty of puzzles and enemy encounters to keep things fresh.
I hope the horror comes more from the gameplay rather than the effects on screen like the classics, instead of games like Outlast and what have you, though so far from what I've seen that doesn't seem to be the case.
I'll remain skeptic for now, but I don't hate it as much as when it was first announced now that I've heard it does share a lot of the features the classic RE games had.
>>341453730
You can datamine a console game pretty easily though as far as I'm aware.
It's not like being on console magically encrypts the game.
>>341453731
It's a mix. Though they said the vast majority is still made by Japs.
>>341453845
How is that coordinated? Is the text translated into japanese first? How does he communicate with the japs? Is he in japan?
Why would Capcom even hire him out of every famous writer?
>>341453731
game itself is made in japan
mocap and dialogue in us
that is all you need to know about it
I think this would've received better feedback had Capcom cared enough to actually put a little substance in the demo. In my opinion, this demo was pointless and they should've just stuck with a trailer.
>>341454527
believe it or not
there are people who are bilingual
even trilingual
not monolingual like you english monkeys
>>341453684
confirmed for PC
>>341454624
I guess they really wanted that PT crowd.
>>341453684
>>341454624
BUT MUH PLAYABLE TEASER.
>>341454705
Why are you projecting? I'm not American, and I speak French, Portuguese, Spanish and English.
I seriously doubt Richard speaks japanese.

>>341454739
>>341454798
Truly, they were the children of summer.
>>341454751
Well, according to these threads, they got 'em.
>tfw this will end up selling gangbusters since it caters to the streamer crowd and all the kids that watch them
>tfw we will never see a proper RE game
RE2 HD is just gonna be Revelations.
>>341454925
The Japanese can also speak English you know. It's a fairly popular language.
>>341454925
just because richard doesnt speak japanese
it doesnt mean capcom employs monolingual japanese only
after all, all their games are eventually released in english (except for online games...)
>>341455073
I don't know. From what I've seen of Kojima and Kamiya, I kinda doubt it.
Am I alone in remembering how awesome the RE4 beta footage was, with the more traditional camera, slower-paced exploration, and the hook man? The gimmick being that Leon is infected, and slowly turning, and so his mind is decaying and he's starting to hallucinate and see shit?
Odds are good they're imping from that build. I for one look forward to it. I severely doubt they'd add genuine mystical elements to Resident Evil.
>>341454937
Their own website confirms: PS4, PS4VR, Xbox One and PC.
>Resident Evil has sucked dick for the last 3 iterations
>People are upset about fucking mannequins turning around
>Lore isn't even raped yet and the kids are out in droves to cry about fucking "GHOSTS" and mannequins
We don't know shit yet, calm down you fucks. It's better than another Resident Evil 6 at any rate
>>341455162
heres a former american capcom producer speaking japanese
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIUUU_Wik0s
as you can see
its possible to translate english to japanese and vice versa in japan
>>341455485
But most of /v/ only played Resident Evil 6.
>>341448336
if it's going to be another meta wank fest into the trash it'll go, meta shit only works for a few times, and then after that it becomes stale and gimmicky.
>>341455561
>talking about how japs can't speak english
>gives me an example of an american speaking japanese as proof that I'm wrong
okay I guess.
>>341455668
Most of /v/ is also a bunch of mongoloid man children, so I refuse to accept anything they say as solid fact, especially about this game. I bet most of the people here weren't even old enough to remember that RE4 had a decent sized shitstorm following it when it was announced, and now its heralded as one of the best in the series. Of all the fan bases that can get mad about their beloved series getting destroyed by greedy companies, it's really not the RE fans that should be whining.
>ITT: THE CURRENT YEAR, GUYS!
>you were the zombie all along
>>341455898
wow
its like, capcom doesnt have any english speakers on staff
like, at all
seriously
theyre all fucking monolingual
all of them are gooks
when you say "good morning" they all go "NANI?????"
and then when you leave and say "goodbye" they say "NANI????"
and then someone comes and says
"GUDDOBAI!"
because he studied english for two weeks during an exchange in canada in high school
and everyone applauds
"OMAE WA ORE NO HIRO DA YO!"
>>341455971
Lot's of people still think RE4 killed the series though, and they were sort of right. I'm willing to bet the majority of people heralding RE4 started the series with that game.
>>341456151
damn, this reading comprehension anon
go get some treatment
>>341451268
I'm genuinely curious, how is it you can say with such definitive confidence that everything is "completely supernatural" in origin? You don't know anything we don't know and what we got didn't indicate anything one way or another. You realize that, at best, you're making an educated guess like the rest of us?
>>341456306
It definitely set it on the path that lead it to what it is now, but I wouldn't say it makes RE4 awful.
>No Zombies.
>No Guns.
>No Suplexs.
>No kicking down doors.
>No exploding Helicopters.
>No Wesker.
RE is dead and done.
>>341456307
I mean, do you really need proof that Japanese people can speak English?
As >>341455078 said. Capcom releases games into English constantly. The language barrier isn't that big of an obstacle for a INTERNATIONAL corporation.
>>341456556
>As >>341455078 said. Capcom releases games into English constantly.
and what does that mean? You do know that games are translated mostly by American/European companies, right? The japs don't do the translations themselves, even though I don't doubt that they have translation companies.
>>341456527
Did it take you 4 games to realize?
>>341456486
Never said that. I love it. But it still did sort of kill the series. Pretty much every game after that was just RE4 but worse.Not sure I will like 7 though since unlike 4, it doesn't seem to have to much gameplay.
Stumbled across this theory. Thoughts?
>I think it isnt from re1 or re2 but another location,look at RE5 and how in some of the notes, Umbrella would test there virus on smaller tribes to see the effects of it, same as re4, so maybe this is from the perspective of that point, the "Family" took the picture and are trying to figure out why that heli keeps watching them, maybe Umbrella is commencing another test on these people to see the outcome of the virus.
>>341456747
capcom japan has a big localization team
it is headed by peter fabiano
if you google him
you see he his in re7 demo
they also seeking new people
if you think you so good, why not apply?
http://www.capcom.co.jp/recruit/mid-career/joboffer.html
>>341456923
I'm no sure what the gameplay intends to aim for, but in the options there is aim assists and stuff, which seems to suggest guns. You can also find an axe to wield in the demo, but no one knows what to do with it yet. The demo is still presumably unsolved
>>341457091
>it is headed by peter fabiano
doesn't sound like a japanese person to me...
>>341457183
yes
because capcom japan
is not all japanese people
you twat
>>341456961
Wouldn't doubt it. I think someone said it's some place in the backwoods of Louisiana? Either they're testing on this family or theres a secret facility that let an outbreak out, and they're just circumstantially watching the effects on the family. The man looks infected too, but someone had the theory that the man's wife is infected, and he brings the meat to feed her. I'd imagine that'd make you a pretty gross fucked up human being at any rate
>>341456421
I have eyes nigga
>>341456747
And how do you contact those corporations? How do they talk with their western subsidiaries and partners?
By having people that know English. They have even said that for every project they have a localization specialist who works alongside the team. It's not a super hard thing to hand the writer some notes translated into English in an email and say, "work within these parameters and this narrative", then email back and forth a bit for changes and what have you.
It's Resident Evil, not a Bioware game.
>>341448336
The demo is so shit it really makes P.T. look like a masterpiece. Kojima managed to make a repeating corridor be interesting and entertaining.
Capcom tries copy it and fails miserably.
>>341457551
By hiring japanese-speaking foreigners.
Japan does it a lot. Even their english teachers are foreigners.
>>341457553
it is because konami had nothing but a corridor, so they were forced to make something
capcom had more than a small house, so they had to contain it
two different philosophies shaping two different games
but of course sheeple are too dumb to see
>>341457553
In what ways? They're both just teasers that are very unrepresentative of jack shit. I'd say that the RE7 demo is at least more interactive than the PT one
>>341457553
Hope they realize this and abandons the "walk and while scary things happen around you" for a more tranditoal survival horror experiences.
If RE7 is basically Remake in first person I'm more than happy, I'm elated. If it's P.T with a inventory it's gonna be shit.
>>341451268
>player character is hallucinating due to infection
>puts in VHS and watches it
>hallucinates things seen in the tape
I played it late as fuck last night but I am fairly certain that was the situation. It's not like you put the tape in and are suddenly not still the player character watching that tape unless I'm mistaken.
I just hope the full game is more RE1: fps edition and less Amnesia: now with added weapons! edition.
>>341448336
>can copy heart of darkness
>watched apocalypse now
wow """"""""""good writing"""""""""""""....I'm breathless..............I sure feel ashamed for my deeds and words...
>>341458058
And you can't hallucinate what you see on the TV?
I mean, presumably it's some Umbrella tier drugs so it's not like it's just your average,"I just saw that vase move hallucination".
>>341458352
You didn't do either of those things, did you, anon?
>>341457948
>If RE7 is basically Remake in first person I'm more than happy
Fucking this. Just give me this and some tie-ins with the others games and I'm good to go. I'm cool with a new, less secret agent character.
>>341458373
That's my point. A hallucinating person can watch something and hallucinate what they are watching. Reply was in response to
>That doesn't explain why the hallucinations show up the other dude's video tape.
>>341458573
Oh wow. I massively misread that post.
Not sure what happened there.
>>341458573
Maybe the tapes are actually blank?
>>341458794
That would be kinda neat.
>>341448336
Spec Ops had writers?
>>341458794
Then I'd say it rips off SH2 and its letter from Mary that's just a blank piece of paper.
>>341459124
Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk! You are so funny!
>>341459229
>Capcom
>ripping anyone off
I thought that was obvious after the trailer and demo?
So what's the twist?
>No Leon, you are the zombies
>>341459471
>No, Leon, Ada is phone
>>341448336
Why would a Japanese game dev hire someone who doesn't speak Japanese as a writer?
>>341459756
Because their main demographics with this game are westerners?
They are pretty much doing a game for twitch streamers to play so they can market it for them.

It's always been a licensing issue. They wanted to use it for the very first game, but there is already a (shitty) band in the US named Biohazard.
>>341461252
Another sunchild.
>>341449567
>He he the one responsible for the game being about GHOSTS now?
From what i've seen, there is only creatures, at least in the demo.
The thing that walks in the corridor is clearly some sort of zombie and the woman in the basement is obviously an experiment.
>"We've got to nuke the city to stop the infestation, it's the only way! Press the button or we're doomed!"
>Press button
>Nuke city
>"THERE WAS A REFUGEE CAMP ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN WHY'D YOU DO THAT YOU MONSTER"
>it ain't me starts playing
>>341461658
There's also the Ringu-esque ghost woman that shows up briefly several times then disappears in a flash on the tape, as well as the mannequins which move around on their own throughout the course of the demo.
Also, the "zombie" man apparently has the ability to teleport.
>people actually think this is ghosts when Umbrella a company with a real history of using creepy places as a front for their labs to develop viruses that mutate people into monsters, is flying overhead in a chopper observing everything that goes down
Test subject
Every zombie is gonna be like the Scagdead from Revelations.
>>341461818
I love this meme.
>>341449458
>uncharted has bad stories.
It may be a bit cliche, but those characters can keep me far more interested than a lot of games.
Is there any refutation that the ghost woman and unexplained happenings are hallucinations brought on by infection? Every 20 replies, someone has to mention
>muhh ghosts
>>341462092
I guess the mannequins which magically move on their own are test subject too :^)
They must be stealth BOWs
>>341462092
This is a series where a guy controlled a leech army by singing like a girl not sure why teleporting is somehow too much
>>341462472
Or the infected are teleporting and doing it themselves to play with their food.

>:^)
I want the underaged to leave.
>tfw hunters, lickers and tyrants have been replaced by mannequins, hallucinations and dirty hillbillies
>>341448336
so this is pretty much an american made game right?
man this sucks. I don´t know why but Japanese games just have more of a unique and special flare to it.
maybe because they are so raw and take so long nowadays.
I´m not really interested in the new direction that they are taking the series. I´m however looking forward to RE 2 remake

The thing is that P.T. is misteryous.
The RE7 demo is just a literal walking simulator.
>>341457886
>In what ways? They're both just teasers that are very unrepresentative of jack shit. I'd say that the RE7 demo is at least more interactive than the PT one
I meant in what they achieve. To this day P.T. still has triggers that people don't even know how to activate them.
In RE7 demo, you walk around, grab the bolt cutter, open the closet, watch some tape, find a secret passage, spoopy zombie walks past the doorway and disappears, then you get punched in the face by a redneck. And it's the same thing every single time.
>>341457948
>If RE7 is basically Remake in first person I'm more than happy
The house is too small for that. So i'm actually wondering what the hell are they planning.
The house is in the boxart, so it is part of the story and/or the game itself. It might just be a backstory, but we know it's related to RE because of the picture of the helicopter with the Umbrella logo.
>>341463124
This absurdity was reached a while ago I think

>>341464094
The teaser was referred to by the devs as a "one-off" demo so its fairly possible that it isn't related at all in the final release. I think it was meant to capture the experience that the game is going to bring, while not bringing forth any narrative information.
>>341464208
He doesn't summon them by singing it was just a weird intro Jesus Christ

Wait a minute, are people actually MAD that Japs are outsourcing their writing to people with a decent grasp on the English language?
Japan's English writing skill is like their Achilles Heel.
Okay fucks how i make the armor key usable?
Had a thought about the trailer and demo. Umbrella might be using the abandoned houses around the Arklay Mountains on the outskirts of Raccoon City(which is now a giant crater) as a testing ground for a new virus.

But yeah, the VR focused gameplay and spoopy environments just for the sake of spoopy is just bad overall. RE has always been scientific stuff even if it got way too silly.

This version of RE7 will get cancelled and turned into the new Devil May Cry.

Chris, Jill, Claire, and Leon were great characters for what RE is/was. Give a new writer control of them and send them off correctly, and restart with new characters. Just dumping characters for a reboot is risky as shit, not as risky as rebooting the characters themselves mind you, but still not typically indicative of a series that is doing well.
I was hoping that they'd go the route of the original Dead Space, horror/monster shooting with a superb atmosphere. But instead Capcom does it again with a fucking VR game. Amazing.
