  • Resident Evil 7 Announced - Coming January 24, 2017 with PSVR Support

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]6159[/ATTACH]
    Capcom made a surprise reveal tonight during Sony's E3 2016 conference. They announced Resident Evil as you've never really seen it before. Resident Evil 7 biohazard looks to go back to its horror roots, much to the relief of many. The game will be out on January 24, 2017 for the PC, XB1, and PS4. If you get it on the PlayStation 4, there will be PlayStation VR support included.
    In the classic Resident Evil games of yesteryear, players braced for fear in the first-person via the creepy door-opening scenes, and Resident Evil 7 ramps up that tension with an immersive first-person view and a photorealistic graphical style.

    Capcom is able to achieve a shocking degree of visual fidelity thanks to the new proprietary in-house RE Engine that includes VR oriented tools. Last year’s “KITCHEN” tech demo for PlayStation VR was in fact built on this new engine as well. With the RE Engine plus industry leading audio and visual technologies, you experience every abhorrent detail up close and personal in Resident Evil 7. Playing the game in the PlayStation VR Mode escalates the unsettling feeling of presence to a level that horror fans have never experienced. That’s right, the full gameplay experience is available in the included PlayStation VR Mode from beginning to end. No Resident Evil you’ve ever survived could prepare you for this.

    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.

    Capcom says that there is a demo available right now for the PlayStation 4. It's called Resident Evil 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour, but it doesn't seem to be live on PSN just yet. We'll hopefully see it going up soon because I, for one, am quite eager to give it a go.

      This looks to be a breath of fresh air for the franchise, bringing back the horror to the survival horror games that set up RE for success. I can't wait to see more.

      But as someone who doesn't play horror games and loved RE4/5/6, i'll be watching someone else play it on youtube.
      For the sake of the franchise and Capcom i hope there isn't a lot of people like me in this situation.

    Ranking the Resident Evil Games
    by Major 0
    For years, Resident Evil has dominated the survival horror genre. Heck, they are often credited with creating the genre in the first place. The first Resident Evil came out back in 1996 and once it did, the gaming industry was forever changed.

    In the 25 years since, developer Capcom released a fair number of new entries to the franchise, including some spin-offs, and even a couple of remakes. Today, we will take a look at the best of the mainline franchise releases and determine which...

    Critical Consensus: Alone in the Dark
    by Shawn Zipay
    Fails to live up to others in the genre this franchise helped to create.

    The Alone in the Dark reboot was just released today and it seems like the reviews have placed it firmly in the realm of being merely ok but with some serious shortcomings. This release from Pieces Interactive and THQ Nordic currently sits at a 62% critical average on OpenCritic, with only 42% of reviewers recommending this new release.

    Interestingly, the actual scores for this game range everywhere...
