Okay,
okay. I might seem overreacting to some, I know. It could be either I’m
overreacting, or I just happen to be an overly appreciative creature of these
things. I don’t know about others and their uncanny gaming viewpoints, but I
played the demo with my younger brother and sister, and I did release a barrage
of disturbing reactions.
I
think I have a lot to say about Resident Evil 7, and in order to organize my thoughts
I wanted to break them down into these three key points:
It’s different.
I’m
sure I pretty much speak for the RE nation when I say that this new game is
waaaay D I F F E R E N T from all the Resident Evil games before. It’s the
first main series to be played from a first-person perspective. This alone
makes a huge difference, hence generating its distinction amongst the other RE
games.
It’s
setting definitely feels different. My brother was telling me, game’s scenery
has WWE’s Wyatt Family-feel to it, which I totally agree with him on. It does
remind me of the Wyatts and their uncanniness. Developers also say not to
expect a “gun fest”, which obviously is gonna give another freshness (others
might like it, others probably won’t).
It’s such a tease..
A
lot of teaseeee! But unlike an ‘actual tease’ that has nothing more than people
leading others on and on to nothing, this kind of tease strikes me as one where
you know you’re looking forward to something. It’s the tease-type that you just
feel has a lot packed for you. You know by the end of your gaming journey,
you’ll find yourself a bag of treasure.
It
is said that the presence of both
the “Resident Evil” and “Biohazard” in the title of the game for the first time, was indeed, a
conscious choice…and in fact, is a ‘clue’ to what’s behind the game’s plot.
It’s like an old wrinkled paper folded unequally that looks like it’s seen all
the wars this world has waged – you’re just gonna want to UNFOLD IT.
It’s scary!
There
really are jump scares from this new hot stuff! Legit jump scares to me and my siblings, might not be the case to
others, but come on… just… just try to wrap your brain around the idea that
this new game is chilling! As I’ve mentioned, it did remind me and my siblings
of the Wyatt’s – it’s indeed eerie.
Imagine
playing the demo and your main protagonist (which you’re playing) is walking
around an abandoned, dilapidated, unnerving house. You touch one thing,
something is moving. You take this object, something seems amiss, and now you’ve
caused trouble. It’s so scary, that when you hear some kind of feet screeching,
it’s almost as if you hear it around YOUR house and not from the game anymore!
Downright scary. Definitely recommend playing it with a group of friends!
All
in all, basing from the demo play, I think Resident Evil 7 will be awesome. It
looks new. While we may miss the old school RE themes, the zombies, gun fest,
and even though the fact that there will not be any returning characters makes
me sad, I still greatly appreciate Capcom’s work. Despite the many changes they
have gone through the years, they were still able to offer something even MUCH
NEWER to the table. I think it’s a good job – might be too early to say since
the full game hasn’t come out yet, but yeah, let’s see!
Welcome
to the family, BOYS AND GIRLS!
