Capcom has just announced Resident Evil 7. Resident Evil 7 sets a new course for the Resident Evil series as it leverages its roots and opens the door to a truly terrifying horror experience. Resident Evil 7 will be a first person game in a photorealistic style powered by Capcom’s new RE Engine, and promises to deliver an unprecedented level of immersion that brings the thrilling horror up close and personal.
Set in modern day rural America and taking place after the dramatic events of Resident Evil 6, players experience the terror directly from the first person perspective.
As the press release reads:
“Resident Evil 7 embodies the series’ signature gameplay elements of exploration and tense atmosphere that first coined “survival horror” some twenty years ago; meanwhile, a complete refresh of gameplay systems simultaneously propels the survival horror experience to the next level. Terrifying fans at events across the globe last year, the PlayStation VR “KITCHEN” tech demo was developed utilizing the RE Engine’s VR oriented tools, and is the foundation on which the talented Resident Evil team has crafted the immersive horror experience in Resident Evil 7. Powered by the RE Engine in tandem with industry leading audio and visual technologies, Resident Evil 7 is poised to deliver a disturbingly realistic experience that will define the next era in horror entertainment.”
Resident Evil 7 is scheduled for release on January 24th.

Is it a first person for vr & 3rd person for others?
Yes ,Yes and No, but do not worry about it, CAPCOM finally killed the series!
My only hope for the REmake 2!
“Capcom finally killed the series!”
Erm… I happen to think that it’s a bit late for that.
“Yes ,Yes and No” Grrrrrrrrrr
edit: some comment on facebook says maybe an optional thing beetwen FPS and TPS!
I am holding out for RE2 remake. Its the last hope. This is not Resident Evil, instead some generic indie horror. No charm, no cheese, no sup-flexes this is just no.
atmospheric but taking resident evil and turning it into outlast with vr…that is not what we want.
WTF! im going out of my way to youtube to downvote, thanks capcom!
Music…
I give up.
“Resident Evil 7 sets a new course for the Resident Evil series as it leverages its roots and opens the door to a truly terrifying horror experience.”
I gave up right there. Stopped falling for “return to roots” claims years ago.
Well, it’s coming to Steam, whatever the hell this is.
reminds me of silent hill 4
no its good again and not a gears of war rip off tps
It’s because of VR
Playable RE7 demo coming out tonight I heard!!
It’s already out on PS store.
I see it’s been added but how do i download demo?? I’m a PS+ member, signed in, and the only options are “add to wish list” and “pre-order”. PLEASE HELP!?!?
search resident evil 7, u will get to its game page
Thx, i found out it’s ONLY available to download via PS4 store, cannot download it via PS store website. That was my issue.
It’s kinda short, like PT. But worth the download (2.3gb)
WAIT! Wont there be any zombies and shooting?
People are now instinctively attacking RE series. I’m aware it has had several downfalls, but I trust them on this one and it looks promising. At least they’ve abandoned the TPS action style and that’s a good start.
I wasn’t interested before, but now I am. Glad they are doing something different.
Same. They could of done 3 things.
1-Go back to the roots and make a RE 1 kind of game
2-Go back and make a RE 4 kind of game
3- Make something 100 % new to the RE series.
I’m happy they took the 3 option, and this actually looks and sounds good. Horror games will always be hot with me.
If by different you mean every pc indie horror fps.
After playing the demo, I’m very excited.
Playable Demo.. looks like Silent Hills 😀 I hope it comes out XD
About damn time – This Resident Evil series have been dead for years. Just copy and past run of the mill action. It’s been pretty worthless POS to be frank.
I salute them for going first person and doing something new aka going back to it’s roots!
Best news ever, this can be awesome and one cant stop thinking about Kojima Sans new game with Norman Reedus, that one will most likely be F*CKN awesome!
I am sad. Where is the RE charm, where are the cheesy characters, what about the 3rd person camera! What about the over the top martial arts. This is not RE.
We love franchises for the established gameplay, if you wanted to do something completly different you could have made a new IP instead of using the RE brand name, or atleast a spin off. I hope they don’t mess up the RE2 remake atleast. I don’t want this franchise to turn into another Silent Hill, Megaman or DMC for that matter.
I know right! Damn, we wanted horror as in Resident Evil 1 like. This looks like Outlast or some other indie thing. This sucks. It looks like they developed this garbage for some VR nonsense.
Glad its nothing like RE6.
Shouldn’t be called resident evil.
i think RE was a zombie game
I actually enjoyed playing Demo teaser
Soo RE is now a walking simulator ?
RE games have returning characters to establish a timeline, what else is new?
WTF happened to “survival?” Crapcom turned it to an FPS horror crap? HO-LY SHI*. That’s it, it’s the last straw. Crapcom really doesn’t know how to make games for their fans —__—
