there is nothing to hype this game

Zeldafan643620d ago

Why? They're destroying the franchise. The only reason they're using the Resident Evil name is for brand recognition.

TXIDarkAvenger3620d ago

Same here. It's been a long time since I've been excited for Resident Evil.

@Zel- "The only reason they're using the Resident Evil name is for brand recognition." I take it you haven' actually read what REVII actually is huh?

I would seriously considering actually reading what the creators of the game have been saying ,sounds like you've been getting "comment news" lol

Why don't you first read what they are saying first bud. The teaser is not the full game in cause you haven't heard.

Soooo puzzles, limited ammo and weapons, limited health.....sounds like RE to me bud. Why don't you actually post reasons its not RE as suppose to just saying something vague and with zero reasoning?

It only goes to show just how little you know if you are scared to use examples or elaborate on your post

Zeldafan643620d ago

Yeah they're destroying the franchise.

TRS_Gear3620d ago

Well, nobody outside of the development team has any idea what the final product will actually be like. Does everyone believe that Silent Hills was going to play the exact same as PT? I honestly just think they are trying to pridefully announce that the "horror" element of Resident Evil will finally be back.

_-EDMIX-_3620d ago

When did you play the final thing?

Austin483620d ago (Edited 3620d ago )

Your a idiot u don't even have a good example pure stupidity. @zeldafan64

Hold_It3620d ago (Edited 3620d ago )

So do you feel the same way about Zelda getting voice acting, and taking notes from the Witcher for the new Zelda game? If you don't then you're a huge hypocrite.

Kal-V33620d ago

RE5 and 6 destroyed the franchise. 7 is REinvigorating it. ;P

I can't wait for this game and by the way the trolls can fuck off.

Zeldafan643620d ago

They have no recurring characters returning or the same story. Without it's characters or story how exactly is it Resident Evil?

Hold_It3620d ago

Because PT was exactly what Silent Hills was going to be /s

Austin483620d ago

Your point is? It don't matter if it's different characters that's a good thing we don't need the superheroes all the damn time just get out of here dude u can't explain shit.

TXIDarkAvenger3620d ago

They never said anything about characters NOT returning. Hell, the characters in the demo aren't going to be in the final game.

CorndogBurglar3620d ago (Edited 3620d ago )

So I suppose Mass Effect: Andromeda is not a Mass Effect game then, right? I mean it has no recurring characters and the story is totally different.

See, there's a ton of flaws with your logic.

1. They said there will be guns and combat, but ammo will be very hard to come by. Sounds like oldschool RE to me.

2. There will be herbs for healing. Again, sounds like RE to me.

3. It will be focused more on claustrophobic areas and creepy environments. Again, oldschool RE.

4. Umbrella plays a part in it. There's your recurring theme from previous games that you are so sure won't exist in this game despite being told otherwise and also actually appearing in the demo.

5. It takes place after RE:6.

6. Ghosts. I know that actual supernatural things don't normally exist in RE and it always has a scientific reason behind it, but the devs have stated that while there are supernatural elements in this, it isn't exactly what it seems and there is something else going on. Again, sounds like it will end up having a scientific explanation. Just like oldschool RE.

The only thing keeping this from looking like a Resident Evil game is that it is a first person perspective. If this demo had been in 3rd person view, people like you would be praising the hell out of it. But because its first person, people are freaking out and completely ignoring all of the other elements that totally make this a RE game.

Don't be so close minded. All the RE tropes are there. You just have to read up on it and not make a knee-jerk reaction at one change.

Just ignore this douche @Zeldafan64 he is here to start shit and be a troll.

Zeldafan643619d ago

Are you kidding me? Resident Evil, at least the numbered games, have expanded upon a set storyline with mostly set characters. Sure, they have introduced some new characters, I wouldn't expect anything less but to just throw the entire storyline they have built up over the last 20 years out the window is despicable. Anyone who defends this is not a real Resident Evil fan.

Here is an excerpt from the interview

Is RE7 a reboot?

Nakanishi-san: It’s not a reboot and we’re not throwing away the series’ canonical storyline. It’s the new numbered title in the series and it’s a sequel to the existing mainline series titles. After I say that and you try the demo, you may say “Really?”, because it looks nothing like any of that, but trust me. We need to have a bit of mystery in survival horror, so we’re trying to make you wonder when you play it how could this possibly be connected? That’s part of the appeal.

Would you like to deliver a special message to the fans following the reveal of RE7?

Nakanishi-san: I want to give a reassuring message. I’ve seen from initial reactions of what we’ve put out that people are getting the impression that we’ve taken Resident Evil and turned it into some sort of supernatural, occult, ghost story. I think you can look at the trailer or the demo and get that impression, but don’t worry, we haven’t just thrown out Resident Evil as it exists and turned it into a ghost story. It will all make sense in the end. I know it’s frustrating holding back on what we can show fans, but this is really the best way to let you enjoy the game to the fullest when it finally comes out. We just have a trailer and a demo at this moment, but watch this space in the coming months and we hope you look forward to the game. We’re going to do our best to make the best game we can.

Kawata-san: I’ve been talking with the Capcom R&D group back in Japan, including my boss Mr. [Jun] Takeuchi – fans might know who that is [RE, RE 2, RE 5] – and we really want to be able to bring everything we can and all kinds of experiences to the Resident Evil series going forward. We hope you look forward to and enjoy what we’ve got in store for you with Resident Evil in the future.

Gatsu3620d ago

I'm excited for this and all the whiners should wait for the game to release, before crushing it down.

MoveTheGlow3620d ago

They're going to have to regain some trust in order to come back from that hideous Umbrella Corps thing. We need a sign from Capcom that Resident Evil will no longer chase Western-style games and fail miserably.

I think they already admitted this, though, through the effort to restore the remade RE1 on GC and the admission that it did much better than RE6 with their plans to revive RE2. I think the linchpin of this whole project is how the combat works. If there's no combat, it's more PT than Resi, and it's going to have a hard time standing out among the many indie PT-likes. If they can somehow bring first-person controls back to a slower, more thought-out system of movement with the usual RE suspects (grenade launchers with acid rounds, a shotgun, etc.) being used more conservatively in a survival context, this will work.

Basically, they have the same chance that id did with the new Doom. And when id put out a great single-player game, it spoke for itself. Hopefully they'll do the same here.

Hold_It3620d ago (Edited 3620d ago )

Umbrella Corps was targeted at the ORC crowd. If anything it showed that people who thought they liked ORC and those kind of games clearly didn't. You don't have to worry about them doing anything like that with RE2 Remake and RE7.

Austin483619d ago

Exactly it's all different fan bases I'm in the classic crowd and the new direction of Resident Evil 7 I'm buying both RESIDENT EVIL 7 and Resident Evil 2 remake day one collectors editions!!!!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio27d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing27d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit27d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing27d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
