This Resident Evil 7 easter egg is a cool nod back to a classic title

Resident Evil 7 demo contains a nice throwback to a classic title in the series.

suli123453637d ago

Nasty game, although i saw it coming, 1 2 and 3 were epic, 4 was playable, 5 was becoming shit and 6 was pure shit, this doesnt even begin do describe what shitty shit is. Fps resi game omg, shameful

KyRo3637d ago

I wouldn't call it sh*t but it's certainly not RE. I respect that Capcom is finally taking it back to its horror roots but it has nothing in common with RE other than the theme.

I think I'm wrong but I'm hoping this teaser is just that, a teaser for the setting and horror elements. Apprently Silent Hills was going to be nothing like PT plays but would have the same mental/warped/creepy atomosphere etc.

The RE7 Teaser is graphically below par compared to PT, the graphics had some graphical issues here and there too. Even if this is how RE7 does pan out it will still be a hell of a lot better than RE6 regardless.

suli123453637d ago

Capcom said the game will support VR, the fact that its not even 3rd person is such a bad idea. But who knows, maybe its 3rd person vr like that game insomniac games released

KyRo3636d ago

@Suli just because it's VR it doesn't need to be first person. Quite a few third person games are planning to use VR too.

suli123453636d ago

@KyRo its confirmed to be fps. Go read about it

ryuuzakibjorn3637d ago

I think it's a fantastic new direction and was great fun to play.

suli123453636d ago

Shows how shitty your taste in gaming is

Theparanerds3635d ago

I enjoyed it as well. For those saying this isn't Resident Evil. Resident Evil hasn't been Resident Evil since Veronica

TXIDarkAvenger3636d ago (Edited 3636d ago )

The full RE7 isn't even out yet so what do you know?

The previous Silent Hill games were 3rd person and no one blinked an eye when Silent Hills/PT was in first person. I for one welcome the change. Maybe first person is too scary for you?

suli123453636d ago

Too scary for me? I that played outlast with nose canceling headphones on in the dark alone at home? I live for these things, but this is pure crap sorry

we4203636d ago (Edited 3636d ago )

You do realize that this isn't the first fps RE right?

suli123453636d ago

I've played fps resi on ps1 many years ago and it was beyond shit and a failure of a game, besides this game is gonna fall even more than 6 jst wait and see

Theparanerds3635d ago

@suli12345 you're just an angry lil' guy aren't ya

experiencing an horror game without being stuck on a flat screen is going to be super immersive and much more scarier than playing a game on a screen. Not saying we should ditch classic on screen horror games, but I think we'll actually feel the fear this time around.

Maybe some prefer a less scary game and more survival features, but I prefer a scary one :)

TXIDarkAvenger3636d ago (Edited 3636d ago )

Oh and this. Possible nod to including RE2 remake demo in RE7.

Game came out in 2017 . I expect the newer console to at least match or be better than the older ones .

Snookies1290d ago (Edited 90d ago )

It's still a great looking game though. Just because it came out years ago doesn't mean it's not demanding. I just started playing it on PC and with maxed out graphics. It really holds up well to current games.

Stevonidas90d ago

PS4 PSU = 250 watts (base model)
PS5 PSU = 220 watts
Switch 2 = 22 watts (docked)

Crazy efficiency from Switch 2.

Deathdeliverer90d ago

I don’t know who keeps posting this guy. The switch does NOT match the PS5 performance. Please put digital foundry vids instead. It beats series S visually. The beginning of the video shows the car hood example. The upscaler is pixelated as hell on switch but smooth, but less detailed on PS4 and not even on PS5s league. That’s the upscaler trying to make 540p look higher res. I really don’t understand the reasoning for the gas lighting.

Neonridr89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

what are you even talking about? where do you get 540p? The game is rendering at 1080p and then upscaling to 4k on the TV.

are you somehow confusing this analysis with Requiem?

repsahj89d ago

Even if it comes from 240p, I don't have a problem with it. What matters is the end result. RE7, 8, and 9 are very detailed on the Switch 2 in docked and handheld mode.

Neonridr89d ago

it says on the video 4k from a base 1080p. Where do you get 540p from?

Benjaminkno88d ago

He’s referring to “native” output and ignoring the upscaling. 90% of these nintendon’ts clamored for a “better performing switch” only to pretend it’s not what they asked for. If they were to play this game without seeing hair, they couldn’t tell the difference.

Neonridr87d ago

@Benjaminkno - I think this person is thinking of Requiem, which was using a base 540p. Clearly they can't read.

Resident Evil 7 Flops On Mobile; Sells Less Than 2000 iOS Units

Well at least there are games like angry birds or clash of clans for mobile gamers :-)

Cacabunga682d ago

Good it flopped.. they must have realized that the target audience is totally different

ABizzel1681d ago

This is a win for gaming even if it’s not an ideal experience on iPhone yet:

1. It’s a huge step forward for mobile gaming showing in the next 2 - 4 years this will be a solid 720p@30fps experience for AA / AAA PS4-PS5 quality games on a device we carry with us everywhere.

2. It’s a huge step forward for Apple gaming in general which has been underwhelming for years running NATIVELY and flawlessly on any M2 / M3 / M4 iPad and MacBook. At worst 900p@60fps Medium-High Settings + Metal on the M2 iPad, 1440p@60 - 80fps Max settings on the M3 Pro Max which is equivalent to a RTX 4060 / RX 6700XT, so slightly above console settings…..but in a $3000 - $4000 laptop (Apple and they’re ridiculous prices).

3. But most important for all of us, it shows what the future of mobile platforms like the Switch 2 will be capable of and ports like RE7, RE Village, and RE4 Remake should be lined up for the Switch 2, optimized even more for mobile PC like SteamDeck / ROG, and eventually Android based platforms.

OtterX682d ago

Who the hell would want to play this on a phone?

ABizzel1681d ago

The iPhone version won’t be good for another 2 years (iPhone 18) or so when they have their next fabrication node (2nm), so they can hopefully improve the CPU cores (AA/AAA games will need 3 or 4 performance cores instead of 2), add 2 more GPU cores, and improve memory bandwidth with LPDDR6.

Then it should be a stable 720p - 900p resolution, @ locked 30fps, Medium-High Settings, with better Type-C out for larger displays.

KwietStorm_BLM682d ago

Apple users ain't gamers. I don't know whether this push with "metal" was just to say they did it and it's possible to run modern games, or if Capcom just said hey more units is better, but either way this shouldn't be all that surprising.

ChasterMies682d ago

You say that but everyime I’m waiting for one of my kids’ events to start, I see an audience full of kids playing games on phones. No Nintendos. Just phones. Lots of Minecraft. Lots of Clash of Clans style games.

jwillj2k4682d ago

Roblox as well. Gigantic mega platform. Kids can’t get enough of it. Sony/Nintendo would be wise to integrate more with their platform as kids get older.

KwietStorm_BLM681d ago

Playing clash of clans doesn't make you a *gamer.* Most mobile games are designed to literally be time wasters and money pits. They're for casuals who don't actually have a gaming platform. Kids on phones today is just a symptom of the modern era. Doesn't mean gaming is what they're really into, as proven by those sales numbers.

Goodguy01682d ago (Edited 682d ago )

Mobile gamers only want simple games and gachas. Nobody wants to pay up front for a mobile game, you have to hide it behind micro transactions lol.

Androids hardware is so fragmented

Sgt_Slaughter682d ago (Edited 682d ago )

But has enough models that outpace the iPhone that it would be a much better showcase of how AAA games could run on mobile. Not to mention the entire east Asian mobile market.
