Resident Evil 7 | "Beginning Hour" Demo Out Tonight

Resident Evil 7biohazard is the harrowing homecoming you’ve been waiting for, and it’s coming to PS4 (with the full gameplay experience also available via the included PlayStation VR Mode), Xbox One, and Windows PC (Steam and Windows 10 Store).

Of course, a horror story is only as frightening as its setting, and Resident Evil 7 pays tribute to the franchise’s origins on this front as well. Resident Evil 7 is set after the events of Resident Evil 6, taking place in modern day and revolving around a foreboding, derelict plantation mansion in rural America. Players must explore and survive the horrors within the mysterious, sprawling estate.

Game's out January 24th 2017.

Demo tonight for PS+ users.

A different direction for the franchise, but it looks excellent. Can't wait to take the demo for a spin.

Cool it hopefully will not be just VR but I'm still very excited about that.

Can be played entirely in VR plus a demo tonight? Capcom, slow the flow - we are not worthy.

Can I use this with my Vive? It would be horrible if they made it to a PS4 VR exclusive.

It's not. You can play through the entire game in VR, but it's not forced on the player.

it is coming out on all systems so it can't just be VR

Rather play RE6 than a walking simulator.

Looks like a spiritual successor to Silent Hills.

The whole first-person perspective kind of threw me off, but hopefully they'll make it work out.

That looks nothing like Resident Evil.

@moistcarrot: People said the same thing about Resident Evil 4 and it became known as the best in the series. I welcome this new change.

Please be better than RE6. PLEASE!!!

Sweet!

now to wonder if it'll be just FP

Cool, I'd be curious about the VR though.

I will check this out, of course.

I wanted a resident evil reboot, but honestly this seems more like silent hills.

I'm so very confused about this game. Capcom kept harping on about how it's throw back to older RE games but it looks nothing like RE. It looks like your typical walking / horror simulator.

Looks like they got trailers mixed up and uploaded something for a new horror TV series for the American audience. That surely can't be Resident Evil.

Smh you idiots need to let the VR part go.

Can't be worse than RE6, so whatever.

I'm a bit concerned about this game and RE is my favorite franchise.

First of all, it looks nothing like RE. A RE VR could be good, but it looked too Silent Hill-esque. They should have shown a RE monster or something. It looked supernatural. I never thought it was RE the entire trailer and I'm a huge fan.

Second, they said it would go back to their horror roots, but that's not exactly what the fans wanted. It could have just been a 3rd person shooter with more survival horror elements. It didn't need to become PT.

And horror games in VR are really tough. They can be overwhelming because things are right in your face that even goes beyond real life because you can shield your eyes or look away if you are scared in real life. Horror games on VR may be too extreme for most people so I can see a lot of people passing on this genre. It may be a niche genre if VR becomes popular. We'll see.

And this just shows you there is no pleasing everyone.

I wouldn't go that far. I really enjoyed this conference. I just have my concerns over this game. But I'm hoping for the best.

It bares little resemblence to the name, but I'm still pretty interested in giving this a go. Looking forward to that demo.

Hey, as long as it's nothing like Resident Evil 6. A reboot can only help them at this point, because I know I was never going to buy a Resident Evil game unless they completely changed it up--as they are doing now.

New Protag

New Engine

Full game is in first-person

Game is in "plantation estate"

How can someone play more than 4 hours using a VR headset.

Resident Evil has become a walking simulator.

What a world we live in.

RIP Capcom. They sold out to the fps indie linear horror game crowd. Those are not true horror, just cheap jump scares that can be seen miles away. I could barely tell it was even related to RE until the logo came up. What's next? A Devil may Cry dynasty warriors game?

They have officially destroyed Resident Evil, they ruined it with 4-6, now it is officially dead, nothing of this franchise remains.

RIP

P.S. **** you Capcom.

They couldn't even get the fox engine so the visuals are pretty fucking lame as well when compared to how good PT looked.

I'm hoping Capcom is just hoodwinking us and it's actually going to be a proper resident evil game, not just jump scare bullshit.

It would have helped if they showed at least a licker or hunter, or something. It looked very supernatural.

@Ghost120x: I bet there will be combat. There aren't crazy enough to make it a hiding simulator

You never know with Capcom, man. They are truly in their own class of shittiness.

Uh, this is Capcom. They totally are.

Agreed. I've grown used to it as a RE fan though.

You sure seem to know a lot about this game.

Still better than RE6. :P

Lol

Being such a huge RE fan, I'm so sad right now:(. I hope the RE2 remake will be okay. They should have let the people make the fan remake.

Looks like a walking simulator and "Ashley hide!!!" to me...better have a way to fight back. :P

I welcome this change especially after RE6. I mean everyone was welcoming Silent Hills with open arms even though it was first person. Besides we barely know anything of the game so far. Just calm down and wait for more info.

This isn't resident evil unless I can spinning roundhouse kick a zombie and spout out cheesy one liners.

@Randoggy: You do have eyes and ears? Did you see a hint of resident evil in that trailer? I don't know much, but what I seen so far is not RE. I seen the live stream of the demo (that is still not on psn yet) and it has done nothing to impress me. Another P.T. Knockoff.

Y'know what, during the 2:00 mark of this there looks like there might be combat.

That song is just so good tho.

If they are sticking to their guns on the first person perspective, make a condemned style combat system with melee weapons would be pretty cool.

I'm excited for this resident evil actually looks like a horror game'

cool, but where is the freaking demo?

Thank you based Sony

when can I download it, brehs?

im east coast, crazy shooting state

Well everyone complained about the newer ones not being "horror" enough even though the old ones were never really scary either. RE was never on the same level of horror compared to something like Silent Hill. I guess Capcom took the complaints to heart though and went too far.

I think a horror direction is good but removing any kind of action from the experience is not the role Capcom should be taking.

I really don't want a seven nights at Spencers.
