Resident Evil 7 (PC) Trailer
Resident Evil is a genre all on its own. Part action, part first person adventure, and all survival horror, 7 upped the ante with a new first-person view that makes gameplay visceral and gritty.
Ethan (that’s you) has been summoned to the dilapidated Dulvey Plantation by his wife. With run down shacks and hillbilly cannibals, this resident evil reminds me more of Texas Chainsaw Massacre than Romero’s zombies. The rooms are packed with reminders of the NPC’s humanity in the form of old trophies, discarded photographs, and the clutter that surrounds any lived-in space. This makes the game, and the characters, far more intimate if not slightly cartoonish.
There are parts of the game where the reliance on southern American stereotypes lends the Bakers an almost Hatfield vs. McCoy feeling. The end of the game explains how (and why) the Bakers are the way they are which makes the exaggeration excusable and even worth it.
The game mechanics are pure Resident evil though with limited inventory space and the box system to manage it all. This is all that I love about Resident Evil with a new setting and new challenges.
The setting has changed but it's not any less scary
Stay out of the basement!
