Based on the demo and trailers it isn't scary, isn't fun, and we all know Capcom doesn't have a capable creative director among its staff. Other than the graphics, is there anything that makes this game worth buying?
This is the only RE game that is scary at any level.
> isn't fun
i guess the originals werent fun either because you werent shooting at massive zombie hordes

>I'm glad their taking it in such a radical new direction >It's not that different from RE4 >It's not just a Twitch/Jewtube bait game Get ready to see a lot of these types of responses.
The truth is that the majority of genuine RE fans aren't liking what they're seeing either.
Chase Morales
>This is the only RE [teaser] that is scary Confirmed for never playing the classics. I wouldn't be surprised if your first RE game was 5.
>zombie hordes You're thinking of Dead Rising.
Landon Jones
The direction they seem to be going with both in terms of aesthetics and scares is familiarity. PT and Outlast are key inspirations in terms of gameplay, and Texas Chainsaw and Hills Have Eyes are the foundation of the style.
Julian Jones
A new Resident Evil that isn't 100% action sounds great. The only RE game that was remotely scary as a whole was REmake, this one looks like it's going to be a homage to B horror movies like the original 3 games were.
Gavin Wood
The classics were laughable. Only children would find those scary.
Levi Nguyen
>originals >scary
They never were.
Nolan Roberts
>REmake is the only scary RE Go fuck yourself, kid.
Andrew Cox
I include CV in the classics myself, and that game is scary.
Benjamin Cox
Nope. Not a single RE game is scary. The closest you get to scary is RE7.
Samuel Long
Resident Evil was never scary.
This game isn't scary either but I appreciate them trying to do something new with the franchise even if it just ripping off P.T and Outlast.
Jace Martinez
It is, as a whole. RE2 and 3 have scary parts, but you have so much firepower in both games that the only truly frightening enemies are Willy B., Mr. X, and Nemesis.
2 is probably the scariest of the original games, mostly because the soundtrack is GOAT.
Why don't video games have coherent, effective musical scores anymore?

Brayden Gonzalez
the resident evil games were very scary unfortunately you had to experience them as a fresh new genre and you had to do it back then
Nathan Rodriguez
I did.
Wow the dog jumped through the window guess I should shit myself!
Kayden Phillips
resident evil 2 isnt a scary game and isnt horror huh okay retard
Lincoln Young
>This is the only RE game that is scary at any level. Agreed, 4-6 were not remotely scary, 1-3 were scary as kid but not at all these days
Nathan Clark
I can accept that you could find the other games lacking in horror. However, claiming that 7 is scary or the closest to it is absolute horseshit.
VII is a meme game. It's a rip-off of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with a first person camera and scripted bullshit everywhere you turn.
Elijah Price
Get a room, shitters.
Jordan Fisher
if you expect anyone to take you seriously you should stop being a contrarian faggot and also stop using "meme" at all because to only meme here is you. a memeshitposter
Christian Gutierrez
It isn't and I didn't say it isn't a horror game.
Look dude you played it when you were 7 so you got scared, thats fine. But it isn't scary.
Noah Reed
>brings up that famous scripted jumpscare Really tells you a lot.
Aiden Hill
Nice counterpoints there, dumbass.
Eli Nguyen
>re7 is classic re game and its what a vocal part of the fans wanted found the contrarian meme shitposter
Henry Martin
>1996 RE1 has jumpscares
WOW THAT A CLASSIC! GREATEST SURVIVAL HORROR GAME EVER
>2016 RE7 has jumpscares
WOW WHAT A FUCKING MEMEGAME KYS CAPCOM
>bu-but we are not a bunch of contrarian faggots!!!
Sebastian Young
you still couldnt come up with shit, congrats retard
>making up shit that i didnt even say
retard no. 2
Ryder Bennett
The difference being the amount of them. Also, RE7 is obviously trying to appeal to casual faggots who watch videos/streams of other people playing horror games.
Ryan Diaz
Resident Evil fanbase is retarded. They hate every new game in the series and love the previous one. When Resident Evil 8 will come out people here will praise Resident Evil 7.
Adam Cooper
Ok, that's a shitty analogy. In 1996, a dog jumping through a window or a big guy crashing through a wall was scary. In 2017, the same shit isn't scary because we've seen it 20 billion times in other games and we expect something to jump out at us in a horror game. It's a cliche and it is no longer an effective scare tactic.
Daniel Bell
I came up with to which you responded "meme".
Get fucked.
Adam Young
Do you honestly believe anyone besides Adam Sessler and the entire staff at Polygon/Kotaku praises RE1 as a great, let alone passable, survival horror game?
Gavin Gutierrez
>In 1996, a dog jumping through a window or a big guy crashing through a wall was scary
not it wasnt scary even back then
>In 2017, the same shit isn't scary
please show me the "same shit" in RE7
Nathan Gray
Wow, you're so insightful and observant. I bet you're the first person to ever say that kind of statement too.
Lincoln Howard
That's bullshit. People love 4, thought 5 was a step in the wrong direction but was mostly enjoyable, and didn't enjoy 6 because it completely abandoned the survival horror shit and became a generic TPS.
Adam Wilson
>first person horror game that has WEAPONS It's the only saviour of the dying horror genre which turned into a hide-and-seek galore.
Eli Hernandez

Xavier Wilson
>every RE VII thread attracts blockheaded shit-eaters Just like the game itself.
Robert Barnes
My bad. Meant to put but you already knew that.
Nathan Jenkins
>not it wasnt scary even back then
If you were a kid (which I was), then yes, it was scary the first time it happened. RE2 had a lot more jumpscares and aside from a few standouts (the arms reaching through the boarded up windows and Mr. X breaking down the wall) they weren't scary at all because we had already seen them in the previous game.
Charles Davis
>42 replies >8 posters Nice thread.
Brandon Clark
RE VII marketers are persistent.
Jose Collins
discussion on this site is a lot worse than it is on reddit
Owen Campbell
Assuming this isn't bait, you should go back there.
Parker Campbell
faggots pretend that the latter half of 4, all of 5, 6 and 7 weren't abortions
Mason Diaz
At least 4, 5, and 6 have great costumes and Mercs.
John Clark
4 was a perfect storm. Latter half was fun as fuck.
Easton Hughes
>not action >the only thing that post 3 was good at pandering to nobdies, we'll see how well it does
