How long will it take for /v/ to admit that this was geniunely a good soft-reboot?
What are you talking about? Who says it's bad?
GOTY contender for sure.
i tried it. eh. it lost its charm. i could forgive resi with its retarded moments because u werent meant to take it seriously. this game went down the western fp route and didnt add anything to the genre.
i find fp games boring, so when this reached acclaim i thought it was unique in that regard. nope. literally a first person horror game that doesnt feel like steam early access trash.

>Resident Evil devs be like: Hey, these games like Alien Isolation and Amnesia: The dakr descent seem to be popular now, let's make a Resi game like that.
Resident EVII comes out - people are already sick and tired of the 1000th re-hash of this game-formula. No one cares anymore. It's just the 100th outlast-clone.
>>382422518
more like an indie VR game, bought by Capcom, and repackaged with a Oroborus boss and a 15 seconds sequence to sell it as Resident Evil
>>382422518
NOT A HERO WHEN
>>382423285
Felt like they made the game because of the praise PT got and the outcry it received when it was cancelled. Seemed like a no brainer to cash in on that now longing and disappointed demographic, and it paid off. This got more acclaim and sales than the series has in a long ass time.
Capcom can't even agree on the canon right now. We just had that movie come out, and Chris was still Chris. So either the guy at the end of 7 isn't him at all, or that game isn't canon.
>>382423778
Chris has already looked like 4 different people. How does this change anything? RE7 just has a different artstyle.
>>382424064
>different artstyle
yes, u can find it in any other game that features realistic graphics.
>>382422518
Played 9 times in row. GOTY so far. Still waiting for Routine doe.
I enjoyed it. One of the few horror games I actually finished.
>Playing a clunky FPS made for Consoles and Console VR
>>382423778
Who gives a fuck. Are there autists who actually split hairs over RE canon? There are people who more concerned over whether Chris has been made a bad guy or not than the gameplay content the series will put forth.

????
>>382422518
It's GOTY to me, everything else was shit this year
It tried too hard to be in your face scary desu. The "jumpscares" are cringe worthy and the family doesn't seem scary at all.
It's easily top 5
1. RE4
2. REmake
3. RE3
4. RE VII
5. RE2
>>382425058
It works fine with mouse and keyboard.
>soft-reboot
what meme is this? its clearly a continuation
>play Not A Hero
>no Jack
>it's just Chris hunting down the chucklefuck kid
>no fun allowed
I don't know lads.
I enjoyed RE7 but it progressively gets less and less tense over time.
Jack has an interesting sense of humor and a constant, threatening presence.
Marguerite is always prowling the halls and siccing her bugs on you.
But then Lucas is just not around beyond the TV, and while I rather enjoyed the puzzle segment when you're locked in the room, everything else was just tripwires and enemy waves.
Don't even get me started on the little girl stuff, the boat and etc.
It's a good game, it just feels like a constant decline in quality every few hours.
>>382425925
love resident evil, and genuinely enjoyed RE7, but I wish they just shitcanned the boat section and instead supersized the estate into a classic RE mansion with more mystery and puzzles.
>>382425560
It had like 4 jumpscares. It wasn't trying to be anything other than campy horror. What with Jack hooting and hollering as he chases you, Lucas being a complete fucking asshat and Ethan's quips.
>>382425925
>play not a hero
?????????
>>382426015
Agreed.
The Jack portion of the game was among the finest bits of Resident Evil I've played and having an hour more of that would have been the best.
>>382426118
I'm speaking in hypotheticals because this will take place after RE7.
In case you don't know, it's a free DLC where you play as Chris and hunt down Lucas Baker.
>>382426151
i know i thought you already played it
>>382422518
1st half of the game, yes. The 2nd part is pure garbage.
>>382425362
what? they are boring because there is very little u can do in them aside from pointing and shooting. immersion is the only + u get from fp games.
>>382425784
>Soft reboot
Wolfenstein: The New Order
DOOM 2016
Ninja Gaiden: Black
>Hard reboot
Tomb Raider 2013
DmC: Devil May Cry
The former is a fresh start but keeps the old canon intact, the latter completely restarts everything. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, though one could argue what qualifies as a soft-reboot; but RE7 is pretty obviously exactly that.
>>382423423
It's free dlc, they're going to drag their feet for as long as possible.
>>382422518I'm Redfield.
>>382423285
>it's first person so it must be an Outlast/Amnesia clone
Those games don't even have combat, retard
>>382422518
They should stop calling it Resident Evil. They should have stopped long ago honestly
This is more of your generic Steam horror game
>>382427952
It was actually really good, but honestly, I didn't think they needed the name Resident Evil until >>382427486
>>382422518
Pretty poor soft reboot when you compare it to RE1 and RE4. I'd rank RE7 above RE6 and that's about it.
>>382427952
Most generic Steam horrors don't have combat.
>>382422518
>good
>>382422518
Where is that Redfield DLC
>>382428659
Delayed indefinitely.
I said so once the demo came out which was better than the game which I've still enjoyed. One of the few games I've ever preordered and I didn't regret it one bit.
>This is groovy
>This is not groovy
Never
Faggot
>>382428445
true
I was referring more to the perspective, the atmosphere and level design, the style of the bad guys, all that stuff about it that felt WAY too familiar
>>382428659
They need to write the story where he's a clone or something to deal with the backlash over his redesign.
>>382422518
This game is actually complete garbage.
>not scary
>horrible textures/graphics
>meh gameplay
>>muh super complex shadow puzzles
>horrible voice acting and facial animations
>idiotic dialogue
I waited to buy this because I heard it was shit. Then had the urge for a horror game and picked it up. Haven't felt regret like this in a while.
