The setup: you, as an unnamed, first-person protagonist, awaken in a darkened and decrepit room. I should mention that the demo looks great and runs well too - the tech powering it seems to be extremely efficient. But, thanks to a combination of pure mood and a structure that means much of this stuff spools out according to how you explore rather than playing out linearly, it works bloody well.
RESIDENT EVIL 7 SHOTGUN FULL
It's trope-tastic from the get-go too, and doesn't let up: spooky cabin, fridge full of rotting food, flickering lights, staticky VHS tapes, mannequin's fingers, random animal carcasses, jump scares on the stairs, ruined dolls, something in the basement. was more about weirdness with sporadic moments of nauseating terror, whereas Resi 7 is straight-up horror from the get-go. any more, but in any case I'll note that these similarities don't make the two into copies of each other. Granted, this is somewhat academic given that Silents Hills is canned and it's near impossible to get hold of P.T.

RESIDENT EVIL 7 SHOTGUN PS4
At least, that's the case in the enormously unsettling demo, Resident Evil 7 / Biohazard 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour - much may change in the full game.Ĭomparisons to P.T., the notorious PS4 demo for an ultimately axed Kojima/Del Toro Silent Hills project, have been made, and fairly so. 7's the biggest shake-up yet, ditching the age-old third-person camera in favour of a claustrophobic first-person view, and broadly replacing action with investigation.
RESIDENT EVIL 7 SHOTGUN SERIES
Resident Evil 7 biohazard aka Biohazard 7 resident evil (they're up to something there, no?) also makes it clear-cut that this is a series about reinvention, even if it tends to return to familiar characters and tropes time and again. There could be no more fitting name for its new house of horrors than Resident Evil. With the demo for the upcoming Resident Evil 7, that debate is over. Debate's long raged/wanked on about whether we in the West should really call the Resident Evil series by its Japan-given name, Biohazard.
