So is it more like the first three RE games, Silent Hill and say Evil Within?

So is it more like the first three RE games, Silent Hill and say Evil Within?
Or is it more of a borefest like Alient Isolation and Outlast?
I'm not sure if I should buy it.

it's a mix between PT and Evil Within

It's more comparable to Alien: Isolation than those other games. The last boss puts the cherry on top of the shit sundae. If you're an RE fan, I'd avoid it.

Its alien/outlast where you walk for 10 minutes while the generic scary music or sound effects go in the background, followed by a jump scare, and pretend its horror/atmospheric

This shit blows. re4/5/6 was how the series shouldve stayed

You are a tool, and you're the reason the franchise was ruined. Stick to dead space or something.

It's like PT, but shittier.

I fucking lost my shit at the cop shovel scene

>implying DS1 isn't a great game
2 was just more of the same, and 3 was barely a horror game at all.

Ive played that trilogy to. Walking around slowly while listening to stock sound effects and waiting till youre automatically grabbed in by a cinematic and pretending like youre actually scared by it is just cringe, no one gets scared of games

Even fucking pewdiepie who made millions doing that act, eventually called it quits and said how fucking stupid these games are. Re4 and 5 will be remembered as the best by non autistics and 6 will be remembered for continuing the over the top insanity the series was going for. Have fun with your oh so spooky walking simulator faggot

>the generic scary music or sound effects go in the background
This is the problem with modern horror games.
Atmosphere
it's always, dark room with little to no music setting up an obvious jumpscare.

Remember being in a bright finely lit room alone with this playing
youtube.com/watch?v=qTGIpfIrlRA
And it was still really scary because of the atmosphere it set?

Just came from playing it for a while.
NOTHING like old RE and SH games.

Haven't played Alien nor Outlast, because I got tired of first person run & hide "horror" games already after Amnesia. But if THIS is how they play... fuck, what the hell happened to this genre??

RE7 so far is a great example why you cannot have oldschool survival horror gameplay in first person view. The sloooow controls do not translate well to first-person view as everything feels clunky as fuck, and if you speed up things too much it would become yet another shooter.

Also what the fuck is up with these graphics? You can't even disable AA for good, and your options literally are "pixelated mess & staircasing, everywhere", or "BLURRY mess everywhere" !

Are there at least puzzles?

"puzzles", as in "use item on target".
It's also linear as fuck.

As soon as it was first shown I figured it was going to be a rushed cash in on the success of the of P.T. and Silent Hills' cancellation.
Was I right?

lmao holy fuck your computer is shit that looks like an xbox 360 game

No puzzles that involve math or outside knowledge. Just point thing at thing a shadowplay.

Welp, looks like I'll be playing something else then.

for real, this looks like a cod zombies loading map screen

So far it really seems so.

That's a mix of medium and High settings. The game really does not look any better.

The aliasing is fucking awful.

Why? Theres your hardcore classic old school resident evil experience :)

Look for keys to put into doors to continue! Im so glad were just...returning to the series roots :)

Not even simple ones like making the the plant killer serum from REmake?

I would really recommend that.
I got CD key for mere 28€, and I'm already feeling ripped off.

So far no. It's literally block-inna-hole tier "puzzling". Rest of the game is wandering in linear hallways, looking at "cool details", watching FP-animations, or running away from something.

I've heard this game is like a 6 hour long episode of a generic slash survivor game
is that true?

>The game really does not look any better.

I can tell you for a fact that on a ps4 pro in 4k with hdr enabled it certainly looks alot more passable than that mess. Just spent a few hours with the game on my brothers ps4 and hopefully my new hard drive will be here in the morning so I can play my pc copy but holy fuck if it looks/runs like that I'm refunding.

>Alien Isolation
>boring

t. assblasted passive aggressive re4 babby

We need to start a petition for Capcom to add a "Resident Eviiilllll" voice line when you start from the main menu. Like seriously who the fuck dropped the ball on that one? Go pull the janitor into a microphone booth and give him 50 bucks to say the line and patch it in.

It was. It was 10 hours too long padded with absolute bullshit that contradicted the very title of the game.

Not at all. I felt it was too short. A bit easy. But i loved every minute.

>I can tell you for a fact that on a ps4 pro in 4k with hdr enabled it certainly looks alot more passable than that mess
bit of extra color depth does not change the fact that the game's very underwhelming looking up close when sitting in front of a PC monitor. It's becoming more and more clear that this shit's designed to be a VR spookfest, not a survival-horror videogame.

I loved every minute till Chapter 7.
Then I hated almost every minute.

It's if Outlast, PT, and The Evil Within engaged in a threeway.

So it's shit then.
That's what you get for adding sewage to a barrel of wine.

My man all I'm saying is that it looks leaps and bounds better than the screenshot I initially quoted. Like, even in VR mode which significantly decreases the graphics quality, it still looks better than that.. Maybe this is another case of poor PC optimization but I'll will have to wait and see until my hard drive arrives. The demo ran/looked great on my desktop and even my laptop.

Opinions differ my man.

literally only things on Low on that screenshot is the Mesh quality and Shadows. The TAA effect would turn the game into blurry mess, while FXAA and SMAA are not enough to counter the jaggie hell I experience every time I move around. And yes, the rendering resolution is at 100%.

if I had to make educated guesses, the PS4 / VR version disables most dynamic effects.

so this game is kind of like resident evil without the zombies
or enemies
or third person view
or weapons

right?

I've only watched a few minutes of a stream, but it's a rip-off of Outlast and is nothing like any RE game I've ever played.

No.

This more Resident Evil than RE4, 5 and 6.

Debate me.

so this game has more in common with amnesia than resident evil 4?
y/n?

I don't remember RE1-3 being CoD VS hillbilly destruction derbys in a garage.

t. shill

In PSVR it looks like dogshit but the tradeoff is worth it to some people. On a ps4pro with 4khdr it looked very good for a console game even before the day 1 patch.

It's not even fucking Amnesia!

It's literally linear first person walking simulator, where you occasionally use an item to "open" / "activate" a thing to proceed. Sometimes you gotta slooowly walk behind some NPC that blocks your path as well, because muh cinematics.

Then you watch first-person cinematics of people talking or you getting thrown around. Then you occasionally do first-person QTE "combat", and watch more cinematics.

tl;dr: it's fucking disgusting modern cancer.

>It's literally linear first person walking simulator, where you occasionally use an item to "open" / "activate" a thing to proceed. Sometimes you gotta slooowly walk behind some NPC that blocks your path as well, because muh cinematics.

This is how I know you haven't played the game.

I watched 6 minutes on a stream
I saw literally nothing but walking and first person cinematics of people talking to you

user, are you seriously not full of shit? are you for real? RE1 was a spooky survival game where ur always low on bullets, RE4 was like zombie apocalypse where you're rambo, and now RE7 is Gone Home???

even The Seventh Guest had more fucking action sweet jesus

I'm already clocking 95 minutes, mate.
Don't you even try to use that shitty Zenimax "argument" against me.

>user, are you seriously not full of shit?
Yes.
>are you for real?
fuck yes.
>RE1 was a spooky survival game where ur always low on bullets, RE4 was like zombie apocalypse where you're rambo, and now RE7 is Gone Home???
Pretty much yes.
It's a cinematic walking sim, with QTE combat scenes, made for VR babbies.

There's a reason I've avoided the modern horror games, but apparently I landed on worst of the bunch.

>both pictures are from the prologue
Did you actually play more after that? Because the cutscenes take a backseat for a long time. Hell, aside from Jack (sometimes) and that police guy (who dies 1 minute later anyway), you don't interact with anyone in these 3 hours.

They should've probably made it a spinoff instead of a main title but I'm enjoying it so far. The scene with Jack and the car was really fucking funny, this game is absurd.

>is this game RE?
It feels like a different IP with some Resident Evil slapped into it, namely items.

>tfw i got in the car and beat Jack before he went tokyo drift on me

would've let him have it if i'd known

Did you play more than the prologue ?

Yes. Now it turned into literal Amnesia / Outlast wannabe. As in, hide and seek simulator, with ridiculously clearly placed hiding places, in the middle of well lit rooms at that.

Yeah, I'm definitely refunding this crap if I can. I got better use for 30€.

Play more, retard. You get actual combat when you get in the main house, in 25 minutes.

>over hour long shit prologue
Why is this even allowed??

>over hour
What ? it's like 15 minutes

It starts out like Outlast, but really quickly goes straight to Groovy town.

It honestly felt more like Until Dawn than a Resident Evil game

There's a boss fight where you fight mommy with a flamethrower and she shoots bugs out of her vagina, also she crawls on walls

Okay, now I really don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
You get a shotgun and access to the basement early on, where all the Molded are. Jack only appears ONCE during this and it doesn't take long at all to make him lose you.

>What ? it's like 15 minutes
Nope. I was already at 90 minute mark before finding that stupid bitch. Didn't help that the game was literally cant-see-shit dark at first, and it had nothing to do with my Gamma settings. Apparently some of those fancier effects literally turn the game pitch black at times.

If it is even remotely as bad as that chainsaw fight, I'm done.

I'm seriously lacking any interest towards the game.
It's so goddamn predictable, literally generic as hell. Adding guns to a walking simulator does not exactly make it "better".

The fact that the game's "stealthing" shit, which I'd rather live completely without, boils down to crouching behind a chest-high makeshift wall of rubbish, is also just baffling.

So yeah... another schizophrenic AAA fuck up. They just keep piling this decade.
This crap doesn't know if it wants to be TP, Condemned, Resident Evil, or a fucking Blair Witch- kind movie.

>Nope. I was already at 90 minute mark before finding that stupid bitch
Then you're fucking reatrded. This guy finished the prologue in 30 minutes on Madhouse difficulty. It's not even a speedrun either.

>Nope. I was already at 90 minute mark before finding that stupid bitch
wew lad
>actual retard plays resident evil 7

> Adding guns to a walking simulator does not exactly make it "better"

Then how is it a """"walking simulator"""""

Because it's FPS ?


>The fact that the game's "stealthing" shit, which I'd rather live completely without, boils down to crouching behind a chest-high makeshift wall of rubbish, is also just baffling.
that stops like 1 hour into the game

In fact you don't have to hide at all, just run

you know, just like in resident evil

>So yeah... another schizophrenic AAA fuck up

From what I'm reading it's not the game that's fucking up, that's for sure

>If it is even remotely as bad as that chainsaw fight, I'm done

that was a boss fight, fucktard

If I wasn't already getting this game as soon as I get off work this post would have sold me a copy.

I havent played resident evil since RE2 on PS1

how much has changed and will I like RE7 if I liked RE2?

Im glad i watched a midnight stream, game was short on hardest difficulty and doesnt really connect to re overall. Ill grab it at sub $10. I do like the evil within callouts and the pt hallway/bathroom area

>It's literally linear first person walking simulator, where you occasionally use an item to "open" / "activate" a thing to proceed. Sometimes you gotta slooowly walk behind some NPC that blocks your path as well, because muh cinematics.

Wow.

People just wouldn't lie on the internet, would they?

shit's terrifying

youtube.com/watch?v=p7GBOb5ntfk

Good for him.

>How is this a walking sim? Because it's FPS ?
No, because that's literally what it, and so many "horror" games nowadays are.

>you know, just like in resident evil
You have apparently never played any of the classic RE games.

yeah, and it was fucking awful.

Go play it yourself if you don't believe me.
I'm now clocking 114 minutes, and I'm fucking refunding while I still can.

Its got the spooks without shitty controls.
Molded are zombies in a sense, but not the shambling corpse type because after 20 years Umbrella realized they're not good BOWs.

Its short like MOST RE games are for people with functioning brains, but it does take from The Evil Within a lot. If you didn't like that you wont like this.

>Go play it yourself if you don't believe me.

Amazon shipped early. Been playing it for 3 days now.

You are so full of shit, your eyes are brown.

>how much has changed and will I like RE7 if I liked RE2?
No. It's literally an Outlast clone, made for VR.

>Its got the spooks without shitty controls.
yeah, some infected not-zombie character groaning at your face while indicator saying "PRESS KEY TO NOT DIE!" keeps blinking on your screen are sooo totally good "spooks".

And fuck you, the OG games literally played better than this shit.

I had the game for like 4 days and you're absolutely retarded

Explain how it's a walking simulator

>yeah, some infected not-zombie character groaning at your face while indicator saying "PRESS KEY TO NOT DIE!"

Are we playing the same game or are you still stuck on the prologue

Watched two hours on a stream, for the entire chapter the guy walks around and something happens every 10-15 minutes. After story happens game resumes and instead of letting you progress you have to go all the way around to get a can to open the door to proceed. This game is wasting your time. It's a walking simulator where you shoot some Groots every now and then.

More like you're part of the cancer, and thus enjoy eating shit.

>walk around in an empty environment
>pick up mundane items to "check" them
>cutscene
>use item A on object 1 to unlock new thing / area
>explore more empty places, watch more cinematics
>QTE BOSSGFIGHT TIME

Apparently some shills gonna shill no matter what. Or Capcom really has not read the basics of good game design in a while, if 2 hours long "prologue", with "completely different" gameplay according to you, is somehow acceptable.

Fucking this.
This is the entire game so far.

if 1/3 of the whole game is wasted on that, then it's the same as waste of player's time and money. At least old RE games got to the point straight away.

>2 hours long "prologue"

lmao play RE6

>2 hours
>Literally saying "I suck at video games"

no, I won't.
You fuckers should instead play REmake and RE2.

>2 hour long prologue
That is enough for me to discard your whole post.
How can anyone be this fucking bad at vidya?

holy fuck dude quit video games

Just searched "Dio laughing for almost 20 eons" on youtube and found this youtube.com/watch?v=IV-8g7wfxNs

Enjoy.

yo hol up

Resident Evil is now a first person walking simulator with a VR gimmick?

No, it's first person REmake

they'll tell you the game is worth the walking after an hour or so.

It;s more like Alien: Isolation but with less sneaking and more shooting.+Gaiden

>an hour

KEK

>re4/5/6 was how the series shouldve stayed
This is when newer generations start playing games during the cinematic era.

something about a card

How can a game have this fucking terrible design? That's what I'd ask.

Doesn't matter if it's ""supposed"" to be 30 minutes or 90 minutes; I take my games slowly, examine, look at and analyze things at peace on my own pace. I did screw up with the fireplace and hidden switch, because I seriously couldn't see what the fuck was going on in my screen before I turned off those fancy skin effects and changed the color-mode, but other than that, the game was nothing but walking and waiting and watching cinematics.

No. You stop making shit games, Capcom.

Yes.

this shit is nothing like REmake.

anyone else noticed they stopped all the "this is the final RE game" marketing? because it doesn't feel like 7 is going to be the final RE game.

>Two DLC packs will be available soon (for free if you get the Deluxe Edition of the game or its season pass). PlayStation 4 users actually get first dibs on these. The first pack, Banned Footage Volume 1, will debut on PlayStation 4 on January 31st, and on all other platforms on February 21st. For $9.99 you’ll get two pieces of playable “banned footage” and a new mode. The first piece of footage is called “Bedroom,” and it sees you locked in a (wait for it) bedroom as you try to escape from Marguerite Baker. The second piece is called “Nightmare,” which sees you trying to survive against hordes of enemies until morning. The extra mode is “Ethan Must Die,” and it’s described as a “tough-as-nails mode separate from the tapes and story of the main game” that doesn’t support VR.

>Then we have the second pack, Banned Footage Volume 2. This content pack will be released first on PlayStation 4 on February 14th, and on all other platforms on February 21st for $14.99. This will include two more pieces of playable tapes and a new mode. The first tape is called “21,” and it pits you in a deadly scenario at the hands of Lucas Baker where you have to “gamble life and limb.” The second tape is called “Daughters,” and it will show you the Baker family before all the craziness of the main game. Lastly, we have the new mode, titled “Jack’s 55th Birthday.” This is a more comedic type of experience that will have you actually feed Jack on his birthday as you race against the clock (this mode is entirely separate from the main storyline).

this sounds amazing, but why the fuck wasn't it just included in the game in the first place

welp, seems like you can't refund games obtained outside of Steam, so I'm stuck with this buyer's remorse for now.

Can anyone even tell me if there's a way to stop cutscenes and their VA audio from being a good 5-10 seconds off sync all the time? Everything works fine in-game otherwise.

Every minute after the moment you get the flamethrower was a waste of time and should've been removed

There's a day 1 patch coming sooner or later to fix the audio/lip synching

You know why.

Even RE:Gaiden and Gun Survivor are better games than this crap.

>because it doesn't feel like 7 is going to be the final RE game.
well duh!
REmake 2 is still in the works, among other things. This crap's literally Capcom's desperate attempt to cash on the (already vaporizing) interest towards VR and the canceled TP / Silent Hills hype.

>There's a day 1 patch coming sooner or later to fix the audio/lip synching
then it's not day 1, since that day is now.

>Even RE:Gaiden and Gun Survivor are better games than this crap.
My nigga. Kids be like "OMG this the 1st FPS RE gaem! :DD", all while forgetting about GS and Dead Aim, which were awesome.

>re4/5/6 was how the series shouldve stayed

people who have finished the game seemed really positive on it.
and Sup Forums hates it.
must mean it's GOTY.
