Industry insider ‘Dusk Golem’ has shared some details and screenshots for the early versions of Resident Evil 7. According to Dusk Golem, Resident Evil 7 was originally meant to have a third-person perspective, and feature Leon S. Kennedy and Sherry.

Resident Evil 7 would have a similar gameplay to the previous Resident Evil games. The game would take place in a city, loosely inspired by Venice. Furthermore, it would have “Choice” moments where time slowed down and you’d have a period to make a choice of some kind. Not only that, but it had a water-based BOW focus.
To be honest, I’m quite happy with how Resident Evil 7 turned out. While it didn’t have any of our favourite characters, it was a great game. It also brought back the series to a more “horror” style.
Anyway, it’s really cool witnessing screenshots from older/canceled Resident Evil projects. And, if you are die-hard fans of the series, I’m sure you’ll appreciate these screenshots.
Enjoy!

This probably would have been better than what we ended up getting.
Seeing as RE5 removed horror altogether and RE6 was steaming pile of dog sh*t that was RE only in name, I doubt that very much. RE7 revitalized the franchise and put it back on gaming map.
By being painfully boring? I enjoyed RE5 and RE6 significantly more than RE7, even with broken game mechanics and bugs/glitches in RE5 and RE6. Granted I don’t like horror games in general (with only 1 exception), as they tend to be far too boring to be enjoyable.
It sounds like Resident Evil just isn’t for you.
If you don’t like horror games, why are you even here giving opinions about horror games?
This place is turning into psych ward more and more very day.
condemned criminal origins is a way better horror game then resident evil.
You obviously never enjoyed a Resident Evil game.
I enjoyed Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 6. To be fair, I’ve only played RE5 and RE6 co-op, and probably would have been bored playing them solo.
I agree that this playing like those 2 previous games would have made it awful, but RE7 wasn’t much better as a survival horror game.
Painfully linear and with godawful enemy variety.
only game better than resident evil 5 in the series was 0.
Instead we got 1st person rubbish on rails. But those hardcore fps gamers will hype anything as long as it’s on 1st person they think it’s, “immersive”. Put sh*t on a stick in 1st person and they’d be immersed in that as well.
Cool story bro.
Good to know you enjoy story. Buy my book. It’s called, “Butthurt”.
I can’t handle this much cringe
Why do you always sound like you haven’t interacted with other humans before?
>”Choice” moments where time slowed down & you’d have a period to make a choice of some kind (TellTale inspired)
Did this nooblet not play the original Resident Evil 3?
Would have preferred this. 7 had like 2 enemy types and 8 was slightly better but no horror or anything memorable.
A Resident Evil game naturally feels better in 3rd-person…that’s how it was originally made to be and should’ve always stayed that way.
90 percent of all third person games suck dirty a*s.
Better environment than the swamps in the actual game.
Oh hey, look at that RE7 could have been an actual Resident Evil game . Oh well…
Honestly glad they didn’t go with this. It looks way to close to how Silent Hill Downpour was.
The fact is that the series NEEDED something to revitalize it. 7 was just the shot in the arm needed after the frankly awful 6. Things had gotten stale.
resident evil 6 3rd best game in the series. 0, 5, and then 6 in that order.
No.
yes:)
Looks so much better than what we got.
This was beautiful Admin. Thank you for your reflections.
Inspired by Telltale?! I.e. interactive movies made to appeal to fake gamer journalists? Jesus, sounds like we dodged a massive bullet here. Coming right off RE6 trying to chase the CoD dudebro market it might’ve been killing blow for the franchise. Going back to series basics with the RE7 that we got was definitely the right decision.
You’re absolutely right. The series had been coasting on “same old same old” after RE4’s massive success, with the same over the shoulder view, same aiming mechanics- basically doing what Capcom really loves to do with a lot of it’s franchises, ESPECIALLY Mega Man. The series NEEDED something new. Something groundbreaking to pull it back from the dudebro chasm it was dangerously close to leaking off. 7 was that change.
7 didn’t really turn the series into an FPS- with the exception of one sequence near the end, the game really was much more visceral, more focused and far more deeply inner than the series had been in a long time. The view was refreshing in many ways, because it really pulled you into the gameplay. I was actually a little disappointed in fact when Shadows of Rose was *only* in third person, because the game didn’t truly feel so immersive to me. The entire time you had a Rose on the screen, she kinda blocked what I was actually trying to look at. I kept wishing there was a way to really look at everything without a chunk of the screen always dedicated to the player character.
I do wonder if they’ll let you toggle between the two viewpoints with 4’s remake. Let players have the best of both worlds.
wolf among us was f*king great though.
Doesn’t surprise me. He also shared fake patch notes for Dead Space Remake.
LOL at all the people who were shouting “OMG this [trash Ubisoft game] looked so much better than REVII!1!”
