So what exactly makes this a Resident Evil game?
it's called resident evil
Aren't you talking @bout the unrelated demo?
>>343134387
the title
>>343134387
Didn't find the Umbrella photo I take it? Also, you know, not spoiling the whole story in a demo.
>>343134387
Man I sure am excited for the new outlast game!
>>343134387
>>No returning characters
>>Its better to run away from enemies
>>Ghosts
>>343134387
They say it's a direct sequel to 6 and will still have gunplay + rely on inventory management, so i still have hope.
>>343135243
I'm talking about the trailer along with things the lead designer has stated.
>>343134387
>Its better to run away from enemies
That's pretty common in the older RE games.
>PT does extremely well
>capcom immediately tries to make a game
>slap on the RE title on it despite having no relation to it for max profits
>"h-haha guys the game is completely different"
>>343135734
No. Running AROUND enemies was a common thing in early RE games.
>>343134387
they already said the teaser is not even in the main game, also older RE games were encouraged to ignore enemies in order to save ammo.
>>343135851
Now you're just arguing semantics.
>>343135758
>>despite having no relation to it
>>343134387
Well let's see
>still takes place in the Resident Evil universe, current year
>it's said to tie into where RE6 left off by the end of it
>it still has guns
>it still has herbs
>it still has combat in general
>it's confirmed to take place in a mansion
>it's a horror game
The protagonists were close to being nobodies in RE1 and RE2.
>>343134387
>>Protagonist is a nobody
>>No returning characters
>>Its better to run away from enemies
>it's another contrarian faggot's thread
>>343134387

>it's not even close
>>343135650
So then you know Ghosts are involved.
>>343136246
>>it's said to tie into where RE6 left off by the end of it
Yeah sure, the devs are bullshitting. It takes place in bumfuck nowhere Louisiana so they can run away completely from the RE storyline while still pretending it's not a reboot.
>>343136640
But I liked Outbreak, game was insanely hard.
>>343134387
Nothing at all, this is just a P.T. ripoff.
>>343135851
Oh fuck off
>Silent protag Joe Schmoe runs around a haunted mansion solving puzzles and avoiding enemies as much as possible.
>Only tie in are claims that it takes place in the RE universe
>oh and herbs
>>343134387
Sounds better than another gears of war clone like the last 3 games, so i rather take this leftovers from P.T. that konami probably sold to capcom.
Also running away from enemies always was better in most of the real RE games, because you had to manage your resources that didn't magically drop when you john cena'd zombies.
>>343134387
>>No returning characters
Resident Evil 6 was not a good enough finale for the main cast of characters. Im actually kind of sad this is how the returning cast is retired.
>>343137895
They planned to kill Chris and gave Wesker a son with superpowers. Better leave it as it is, or the next reveal will be that Chris and Leon are Spencer's bastard sons or something like that.
>>343137415
Outbreak was piss easy. File 2...not that was back breaking.
>>343138141
Isnt Wesker confirmed to still be alive? I'm pretty sure he was in Umbrella Chronicles or something like that.
Which is annoying since him being alive completely voids all of Resident Evil 5.
>>343138808
RE5 was just Chris's racist nightmare. He just wanted to kill the darkies senpai
>>343135628
This.
>>343139003
I play Resident Evil 5 whenever im feeling angry towards blacks. It always relieves my stress.
>>343134387
Its the silent hill 4 of resident evil
>>343135650
I killed every enemy in the game and had no issues with ammo.
Why run?
>>343139130
There is even a rumor that there might be immortal enemies in the game, the player can only knock them out for a short time, just like the ghosts in SH4.
They need to run away from what V and VII did to the series.
>>>No returning characters
This is completely necessary if you want it to be an actual horror game.
>>343134387
im pretty hyped.
>>343139707
Source or you're baiting and spreading misinformation.
>>343134387
stopped being Resident Evil since 4

>>343140620
So what difference does it make?
>>343140942
It's a sequel to the main games
>>343140942
not him, but looks like they're sticking back to their original survival horror roots not some run and gun type of gamepley. idk im excited for this.
>>343140942
That it's a MAIN series game and in every MAIN series game we've always had Chris, Leon or Jill show up.
>>343136246
>First Person VR shooter
>it stars a weak nobody
>It has tons of easily telegraphed jumpscares
>it won't have characters from the other games because they are too strong

This isn't a Resident Evil game. The fact that they are billing this REBOOT as a sequel makes me angry. Fuck Capcom.
>>343140752
better that than Gears of Uncharted lol
>>343141225
READING THIS MAKES ME LESS EXCITED FOR THE GAME
>>343134387
>First person
I can deal with this
>Protagonist is a nobody
And this
>No returning characters
did they say there would be cameos?
>Its better to run away from enemies
Like the first RE games? Plus they said it will have combat
>Ghosts
They said it will also be an actual biohazard, probably hallucination though right?
>>343141218
>bring new cast into RE2
>nobody complains
>bring new cast into RE7 after we had the same characters for almost 20 years, and the characters have a clear "too-old-for-this-shit" shadow looming over them the entirety of the previous installment
>everybody complains
I'm willing to bet 87% of you faggots don't even like video gamesand are voting for Hilary.
>>343141225
After this last halfassed garbage resident evil umbrella game they released and rushed Street Fighter 5 I don't believe a god damn word they say. They are hemorrhaging money. They made this game because PT was well received and they want to make YouTube bait for pewdiepie. This is almost as bad as going full pachinko machine.
>>343134387
It'll have herbs.
There's an Umbrella helicopter photo in the demo.
>>343141225
>First Person VR shooter
This has nothing to do with anything. Do you know how many mechanical forms RE has taken on? The only identifiable thing about the series now is the IP. Going by this argument, nothing after Outbreak is canon RE.
>it stars a weak nobody
What is RE1? RE0? Outbreak? Why is this even bad?
>It has tons of easily telegraphed jumpscares
>you know this for a fact despite not having seen the main game yet
>implying RE1-3 didn't have jumpscares
>it won't have characters from the other games because they are too strong
We don't know who it will have, but every RE game introduces new characters anyway. And this is still not a bad thing.
You are a fucking retard like everyone else bitching about RE7, fuck off dickweed.
>ghosts
this is the only part that doesn't fit
>>343140208
>No returning characters
Then it isn't a fucking sequel. That would be like making a movie called X-men 5: Wolverine's revenge and have it star only characters from the Fantastic Four.
>>343141254
You can fuck right off with that shit RIGHT now.
man fuck this thread, im out. ill just wait for the game. FUCK ALL OF YOUR OPINONS !
>>343141728
But nefarious Umbrella is back! And they're doing secret ghost experiments in the bayous of Louisiana! BOO!
>>Ghosts
The developers already stated that it's not going to be a ghost story.
>>343141838
Thats exactly what 6 was
>>343141630
>RE1 and RE0
>Weak nobodies
RE1 featured trained police personnel, while RE0 had an ex-military convict as one of the mains
>>343141949
actually kinda cool
>>343141728
You're being stupid on purpose.
All the main cast has been fighting BOWs for decades now, they no longer fear them. The elimination of BOWs is just another job to them, so there is no horror.
If you want horror, you give a character that dosent know what the fuck their doing. Boulder-splitting Chris and Goomba-stomping Leon are not the right men for this job.
>>343142038
No, it really wasn't.
>>343141980
It's not hard to make a ghost story without ghosts. Just call them alucinations, or make a character have psychic powers.
>>343142201
Alright, Gears of Uncharted with Zombies.
>>343134387
Not ghosts, they said it's hallucinogens.
basically a handwave to do their own PT but without the covetedness that came with it being lost forever because of Konami
>>343141489
Isn't Spencer explicitly mentioned?
>>343142301

Neither does everything after Outbreak, did the series stop there for you?
>>343141630
>First person VR shooter
I seem to recall that all the other NUMBERED Resident Evil titles were THIRD PERSON SHOOTERS. Hmm. This is a real thinker.
>>343139707
So it's basically Nemesis without the scripted sections?
>>343142738
RE1-3 were fixed camera angle 3rd person puzzle action games. RE4-6 were over the shoulder action games. These are drastically different, putting them both under the term "third person shooter" is fucking ignorant.
Capcom vaguely said the main cast will return in some way. For all you know that means they will show up in the post game extra mercenaries mode. I could totally see them fucking us like this.
>>343142630
>he gets scared by the same formula over and over again
Grow some balls, man.
>>343134387
It would work better if it was clock tower done by human

corrent me if I'm not wrong, wasn't that all of the REs until 4? with ammo being scarce, you had to be smart enough to choose your fights.....
>>343142738
>all the other NUMBERED Resident Evil titles were THIRD PERSON SHOOTERS
Hey look, another kid who started the series with 4.
God I hope they announce when the trailer for the game comes out and we get a good idea what the real game is. I want to be here for the butthurt. I hope the main character is black God damn the triggering will be amazing.
>>343143056
Yes, but you're sharing a board with people who started at 4.
>it's basically RE1 in first person
>everyone blows their fucking anuses out with "muh outlast" memes
>>343142906
>Shoot in third person.
>Not a third person shooter
Alright Tex.
>>343141728
RE2 had no returning characters.
>>343143193
I guess Dead Rising is a first person shooter too since you can take photos in first person view.
>>343143219Brad, technically.
>>343142062
But in the sense of the story, did anyone who played the game actually knew those guys at first hand? Did anyone knew how important they were outside "you gotta survive and uncover what exactly is fucking happening"?
I mean, I get that you might feel alienated due to no former RE protagonists to play, but that doesn't make it an excuse to critizice the game when RE Outbreak happened.
>>343135758
Some anon said they were working on it when PT got released
>>343141728
>memearrowtexting a supposed fact with no source
>>343143193
Fuck off you stupid kid. Everyone knows that RE4 was a drastic change to the formula. The series has always been evolving.
Which is what RE7 will be, another evolution. Assuming they don't fuck it up, first person is superior to third person anyway.
>>343143219
When you have a mind blowing new IP you can do shit like this since the novelty of the game will make up for the unfamiliarity of the characters. They have been pumping resident evil games for what, 20 years? All they have is resting on their laurels and relying on older characters.
>>343143056
>From memories
Same anon, I have no idea how I even fucked managed to type that, I mean enemies but it seems everyone gets the point
>this is exactly how many people felt when RE4 came out
>but it was ok last time because it had suplexing retards for all the kids with ADHD
>>343143219
>>343143298
Not only that, but one of the main characters had a direct familial relation to one of the first game's main characters, the setting was said past character's work place, and the male main was technically even a co-worker of the aforementioned past character.
>>343143076
No I started the series with Resident Evil. I rented it after bought my Playstation and beat it without a memory card. The games were never horror games. You were scared because you were a child. Resident Evil has always been an action game with horror elements. Resident Evil 4 killed Leon, and replaced him with brown haired Dante, but at least it was still a third person shooter with a somewhat returning character. This game would be fine if the named it Resident Evil VR edition, but not they have the balls to try and say it is a sequel. It's fucking PT except it's shit. Not a Resident Evil game.
>>343143616
You're not a coworker if you never worked before.
RE hasn't been horror since 4, hope this one is.
>>343143591
This is utter bullshit. When RE 4 was announced it was hype central and features the return of fan favorite Leon. They revealed it by showing the villager attacking sequence no one in their right mind can see that and not be hyped as fuck. In comparison we got now muh welcome to the family. No fucking hook as of yet. We will know soon enough if this is an honest effort or a cash bait VR game.
>>343143801
>it was still a third person shooter
RE1-3 and RE4 gameplay had absolutely fucking nothing in common except some RE coats of paint tossed on it.
Having herbs and first aid sprays while a guy who looks like Leon is mercilessly mowing down mobs of enemies does not make it Resident Evil.
>protagonist is a nobody
Sounds just like resident evil to me
>>343143616
>the setting was said past character's work place, and the male main was technically even a co-worker of the aforementioned past character.
I would love to watch a CGI movie about the RPD with Chris, Wesker and Barry investigating the murders in the Arklay mountains. Would be neat senpai.
>>343134387
>demo is unrelated to the final game

>>343143830
Hence the operative word 'technically', Doofus.
>not a single character in RE7 has been introduced yet
>"WHERE'S MUH LEON N CHRIS"
>>343134387
>it's better to run away from enemies
That's a staple of survival horror games you retard
>>343144158
>that appearance is in the Mercenaries VR extra mode
>>343144137
They need to just make an RE1 CGI movie with the canon ending in it already.
>>343143801
>You were scared because you were a child
Bull SHIT nigger. Plenty of adults that played it were scared too, because it was one of the first popular entries into 3D. You are talking out of your asshole here.
Are you fucking aware at all that RE7 is taking place in a mansion? Are you aware that it'll have combat, with guns, and herbs? We don't know shit about it yet — but going by what we've heard, how the fuck does that not sound like Resident Evil to you?
Did you not fucking dream of playing a first person RE1 when you first played it in the 90s (assuming you aren't lying like a bitch)? Well I fucking did. Anyone seriously invested in it did. Hell, forget first person, I wanted to be in it. I wanted it to be real, that's why I play video games in the first place. First person is way better at capturing that feeling. RE should have been first person way sooner than now.
>>343144006
Exactly this, I don't get how these so called "fans" of the series don't see this. They have been action games since RE4.
>>343144282
>pressing this hard to shitpost
>>343144158
>>demo is unrelated to the final game
They just said that part specifically won't be the in the game. The "escape from the house" section, the house itself and family man could very well return, he appears in so many parts of the trailer that i believe he is plays a big role in the main game.
>>director has said in multiple interviews that some OG RE characters will make an appearance.
He said the opposite actually and it was the director himself who said this:
>And when I asked would we see any familiar faces – Chris, Jill, Leon – or the nefarious Umbrella Corp?
"Basically no. It’s a whole new set of characters and situations," said Kawata, who has worked on the franchise since 2005's Resident Evil 4. But he did say, "There could be some interesting surprises in store as well." So expect there to be some easter eggs in there at least.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/06/15/e3-2016-13-things-you-should-know-about-resident-evil-7
>>343143485
Freudian slip perhaps?
I literally cannot function knowing that none of the characters are returning. GOD DAMMIT THIS WAS REBECCA'S TIME TO SHINE. This game should have been about Rebecca and what she has been doing, not about some noname fuckface wandering around one room for 5 hours. Capcom is dead to me, they've been dead to me ever since they forgot about Rebecca.
>>343143801
>Resident Evil 4 killed Leon
He's a government agent 6+ years after Resident Evil 2 took place, it's called character progression ya dummy.
We don't know shit about RE7's plot or characters yet, so all we have now is assumptions to go off of. 1st person perspective with traditional gameplay could work really well for a modern Resident Evil.
>>343144575
Rebecca Billy reunion when
>>343134387
>First person
Why is this a problem? I personally like first person because it helps with immersion. Interviewers state they want horror to make it come-back as main the main focus.
>Protagonist is a nobody
Again, this help with immersion, as stated in numerous interiews. They wanted the playble character to be more relatable to the player, and helps with the sense of fear in comparrison to playing RE reoccuring characters who are bad-asses.
>No returning characters
They said they won't be makng a return as playable characters, but in the Capcom Unity stream, they stated that they might ake a comeback as cameos.
>Its better to run away from enemies
Says who? Also this could be said for some of the enemies throughout the series, especially RE1.
>Ghosts
Already confirmed that there is more to the demo. Ghosts are probably a red herring.
>>343144282
>Mercenaries VR
>>343144575

Holy shit that settles it. This is totally not resident evil. This is totally a cash grab to get at the PT outlast crowd. Worse off they have the balls to make this a mainline title. Holy shit this game is going to cause a lot of drama.
>>343144575
But Rebecca's in the next CG movie.
>>343144892
Not exactly, because it was a gamecube exclusive
After it overperformed there, Capcom decided to cash in and port it to the PS2 against Mikami's wishes, then it was ported to PC, Wii, PS3, 360, mobile..
>>343144864
>they stated that they might ake a comeback as cameos.
As easter eggs. Kinda like the helicopter picture.
>>343144965
>Jon Snow's dead, he's not coming back
Holy shit that settles it.
>>343144892
Anon technically any game ever made is "cash bait" if you want to got that route.
>>343144771
Billy got eaten by dogs before he even got out of Raccoon Forest.
Rebecca fell down the same hole Carlos, Bruce and all the other forgettable RE side characters did.
>>343144864
Anon, don't bother. You're trying to raise points against kids that don't give a damn about immersion. They just want to fit in.
>>343144450
For sure the house is gonna play a central part. You have to look at it this way, the game isn't releasing until 2017. they just announced it and whatever they say about the game NOW is going to be very vague and misleading. the "there could be some interesting surprises in store" is probably the only shred of honesty in that entire interview kek
>>343145079
>after a million resident evil games all of a sudden they are going to go full Kojima and ruse us
Let it go anon chapter 3 will never come out
>>343144938
The REmake bombed that's why they had to make 4 so actiony.
so is family man not gonna be in the base game?
i want to know more about the man behind the family and why he's welcomed me to be his son
>>343142630
>believes that every RE games are the same
>>343138808
Wesker gets brought back to life in Umbrella Corps.
>>343145310
There was heavy backlash over the tank controls in the REmake, and Zero was already past the point of no return
RE4 needed the reboot to keep the series alive and relevent
>>343145310
It bombed because it was released on the gamecube
>>343145540
Another point to make, the RE movies also played a role in shaping RE4 to its current form
>>343145540
It flopped because it was Gamecube exclusive not because of tank controls.
>>343145276
They chose Louisiana to stray far away from any big conspiracies, so this rules out any of the main heroes returning. The director said he loves horror movies from the 80's in secluded locations where you can't call for help. So the story will probably be focused only in that specific location in Louisiana. He also said his plan is to make the "best B-movie horror ever made, so the story will probably be very low profile and serious.
>>343145896
I don't get it if they wanted to make a k-k-krazy resident evil game just make one with Alice rather than turning Leon into Dante.
>>343145908
When you release a game as a console exclusive on a platform that's new to Resident Evil (outside of 2 on N64 and Gaiden), you of course don't have multiplatform + name recognition expectations
>>343146026
Do you realize how much backlash that would have caused in the mid-2000's?
It'd be a lot more of a shitstorm than people crying now about RE being 1st person.
>>343145987
Still don't think anything tops RE4 being influenced and even ALMOST WHOLESALE TAKING SCENES from the film Dagon.
>>343145310
>>343145540
REmake and RE4 sold roughly similar numbers on Gamecube. It wasn't until the PS2 release that RE4's numbers made any significant gains.
>>343143376
Yeah i don't think anyone actually believes that.
I JUST WANT BILLY BACK

>>343146763
Folk were already intolerable enough with the "What game is Alice in? Why isn't she in the REmake?" conversations, actually inserting the character into the game would have just ruined the series as a whole.
Alice is just Paul Anderson's fantasy character anyway.
>>343146961
Read this dumbass characters aren't coming back.
>>343144450
>>343146961
I don't think that's what he was saying. More like because it's such a low key location and scenario, the main cast, who are now all global war heroes, wouldn't be found in an area like this.
Which is good, as much I like the RE cast, they were focusing too much on pandering to the crowd that only latches onto the games because of the characters and waifus.
So did we figure out how to beat the demo yet?
>>343147172

>And when I asked would we see any familiar faces – Chris, Jill, Leon – or the nefarious Umbrella Corp?
>"Basically no. It’s a whole new set of characters and situations,"

I love that kind of atmosphere. That was a big influence on us choosing the Southern United States setting for the game. It feels so helpless and isolated."
Soft reboot confirmed.
>>343145987
Alaska would have been a better pick. It's secluded from the rest of America. It's cold as fuck up there which would have made it interesting since you would need to survive the environment along with monsters, different varity of monsters to face. Setting it in the south you'll just run into alligators, snakes, zombied libcucks, niggers, spics which is ok but they'll demonized whites too which is not cool because whites are cool people and not racist compared to niggers and spics who just want to get on welfare and ooga booga and chimp out all day.

>>343147097
Not him, but some of the original cast will come back. They'll just be called by different names. You know, like how the devs said in Arkham Knight that Jason Todd isn't in the game.

Re4 sold twice what remake did.
So wait... This entire game takes place in a fucking small home...?
What was capcom smoking
>>343134387
nothing, it isnt. same shit as 4
>>343148737
It's already confirmed a new mansion, anon.
>>343148737
Takes place in a plantation, there will be a big house too. In the E3 trailer there is even a driving scene, so the place will be at least mildly big.
>>343149248
>Platation
Oh boy, I can't wait for the libtard social commentary of this game where the blacks dindu nuffin and the whites are all evil.

Another thing that isn't Resident Evil at all.

I think swamp is a nice setting for horror. The swamp at night can be pretty creepy.
Also there are those voodoo dolls in the demo, the voodoo dolls are right in front of the door where the player can hear a growling. Which means someone(family man?) put those voodoo dolls there to keep the creature in the basement locked up with hoodoo.
So i have a feeling in the main game there will a be a mixture between the hoodoo beliefs with the scientific Umbrella experiments. Like the people were experimented by Umbrella, but locals think it was hoodoo, so there is literally a cult spreading the Umbrella virus thinking it's hoodoo.
I LOVE CHINESE GERBILS

why don't they just make clocktower/haunting grounds then?
>>343134387
>>First person
This might not be a bad thing at all.
>>Protagonist is a nobody
I've been wanting a new character for a long time. Thing about RE protagonists is that they're way too powerful for their situations. Having a new character who can't do all the shit regular RE characters can might be a good thing.
>>No returning characters
Do we even know that?
>>Its better to run away from enemies
This was always a tactic in the old games, though if combat isn't a big deal in final game, I will be disappointed.
>>Ghosts
Is this shit even confirmed?
I'm not too crazy about the new direction, if they're really going for the modern indie horror sort of thing, but a lot of those 'problems' aren't really problems at all.

I actually think they chose Louisiana specifically for the hoodoo stuff.
>>343135758
but they were working on it before PT or at the same time
and one of the RE7 devs left capcom an went to konami to work on PT
this has been confirmed

There are actually a few active practitioners of the voudou religion. It's actually fairly interesting.
>>343151613
Oh shit, that's interesting as fuck.
>>343151916
Reason i believe that is because zombies originate from voodoo folklore.
When i saw the voodoo dolls in the demo i instantly made the connection with the voodoo zombies from Haitian folklore.
>Everyone knows the fictional zombies, but fewer know the facts about zombies. To many people, both in Haiti and elsewhere, zombies are very real. They are not a joke; they are something to be taken seriously. Belief in magic and witchcraft is widespread throughout Haiti and the Caribbean, often in the form of religions such as voodoo and santeria.
>Haitian zombies were said to be people brought back from the dead (and sometimes controlled) through magical means by voodoo priests called bokors or houngan. Sometimes the zombification was done as punishment (striking fear in those who believed that they could be abused even after death), but often the zombies were said to have been used as slave labor on farms and sugarcane plantations. In 1980, one mentally ill man even claimed to have been held captive as a zombie worker for two decades, though he could not lead investigators to where he had worked, and his story was never verified.

I rmemeber reading this some time ago
It was only after the George Romero "Living Dead" movies that the term "zombie" changed from a vodoo controlled person to a flesh eating monster in the eyes of audiences
>>343152536
>Reason i believe that is because zombies originate from voodoo folklore.
Well yeah, that's what I was getting at. I was going to make that connection in my post, but I assumed that most people knew that already.
And since voodoo has its origins in the religious beliefs of medieval-era West African peoples, there's a reason why RE5 was set in west Africa as well. Fun fact.
Capcom actually does their research, it's pretty interesting.
I haven't played Outlast, is the demo more like that or PT? If they were going for the PT vibe they fucked up pretty badly in the lack of small details, to say nothing of the invisible wall.
>>343152945
Outlast is a running simulator

/v/'s overwhelmingly shit taste does.
>>343151418
Flying B.O.W.s were still consistent with the lore of the series. They were just mutated creatures. The plagas and viruses always create enemies that are physically mutated animals and humans. This ghost shit makes no sense at all.
>>343153675
>le re6 is bad meme
still more RE than this thing is

I wasn't scared at all during Resident Evil. I was pissed when I made it to the gas room and died and had to start the game over. I've NEVER wanted Resident Evil to be first person. EVER. I still don't. I don't like first person games. They mostly make me feel motion sickness, and I never feel the 'immersion' that is supposed to come with it. I don't like playing games as a mute protagonist either. I liked Resident Evil enough to buy it and nearly all the other games in the series. Resident Evil: Survivor is the ONLY game in my entire life that I opened up and played that I returned to a store. They had a policy of not taking open electronics, but I got a full fucking refund. This game should be a side game, but Capcom are using the 7 to get people to buy this shit. I play Resident Evil for the silly B movie characters and cool monsters. They've already confirmed that super powered characters won't be returning to the game, because they need you to feel scared. So then why call it a sequel? What's Jake doing right now? Where is Sheva and Helena? Where's Rebecca and Billy? MIA. All because Capcom had to chase after the ghost of P.T. They can call it whatever they want, but it doesn't change the fact that it is a shallow copy of P.T. P.T. was a demo with excellent execution of tension. Their version falls flat because they fail to understand why P.T. was a success.

How is RE6 not bad?

So? RE went from third person fixed camera to third person over the shoulder

And zombies originally weren't even all that unintelligent. Beholden to their master, sure, but not actually mindless.
It wasn't until Romero redefined zombies that they become brainless creatures running on instinct.
>>343154618
Tank controls aren't even that hard to grasp and actually improve fixed-camera perspective games.
All you really need to know is that 'up' moves your character forward in the direction they're facing, left and right turn them in those directions relative to the character, and 'back' makes them back up. And back + run makes your character do a quick-turn not that hard to grasp.
>>343138808
Umbrella chronicles took place i believe 2 years before Africa
>>343154562
RE6 removed its horror feel and replaced it with action from a Expendables movie
Also more of the same doesn't necessarily mean its good, like trying to copy the spark of RE4
RE5 was dogshit too, get your head out of your ass

This is good though. Leon and pals need a break for a game anyways.

The point of REmake was to save ammo and try to avoid/survive encounters, what's your point?
>ghosts
I'm pretty sure it's an easter egg reference from the writer
You know, the F.E.A.R. guy? Who wrote F.E.A.R.?
And if not, it's more than likely just a B.O.W.
>>343145246
No it looks like most of the people that are upset are so, because the want a proper Resident Evil. Stop it with your fucking elitism.

RE7 was in development before PT was ever a thing.
>>343155619
Yes you are right, and then they threw a near eighty-percent complete Resident Evil 7 in the garbage after seeing the hype for P.T. They even got one of the people that worked on P.T. to work on this. There is a reason all of the Capcom community managers are different people now.
>>343156484
Wow. It's been a while since the last time I read such bullshit.
No offense Senpai, I'm sorry if it was rude, but please...
>>343134387
I've never played a resident evil aside from I think 5 or 6; some muscular dude and a Lara croft looking chick in Africa killing negro zombies and a chainsaw guy later. I played a demo of one awhile back too; never really cared for the gameplay. Have to stop to shoot, that retarded laser aiming, and the clunky melee just isn't my thing. A first person hiding from scary ass zombies, better to run than kill game sounds pretty rad to me. Dying light has that somewhat but even still with the ninja skills and weapon upgrades there's not a whole lot of danger or feeling of helplessness. I will keep my eye on this new game because it sounds more up my alley than the games I played; maybe some kind anon can recommend the "good" resident evils to play. Didn't they do a remake of the original, how's that?
>>343135758
Well, PT was free.
New re is a VR title
go deal
