So that's that. Pretty much what I expected, which is good. I didn't die, but I don't think I got that far either. It's not the sort of game that's worth rushing through on a first try, because a big part of it is building atmosphere to make you cautious. I tend to walk around until I know an area is clear.

I almost got killed in the first part because I was swinging wildly with my aim, but actually it wasn't too difficult to pop the Zs in the head after that, when you've got more distance to work with.

Most of all it's damn tense. The sound effects. Lack of light. But also how it plays on your knowledge of the original to keep you guessing. I was expecting
Edit: Still can't justify buying immediately though, as I've got other stuff to get through.

Maybe not a day one. In for a chalice for sure.

I wonder how much of that section will be different in the real game.

Normal version digitally pre ordered. Looked at the Delux but the only attractive thing was the original soundtrack swap option.

I’m saving this up for me and my daughter to play through.  Not even touched the demo and I’m going in blind.

Same here.  This demo took me back to playing RE1 on the PSX as a teen, thoroughly exploring safe-ish rooms to the point of procrastination, putting off the next unexplored corridor!

Have really high hopes for this.  Have gone the pre order.

I liked it when he told a zombie to fuck off.

Finally started Resident Evil 7 last night. Got about an hour in, up to the part where
Genuinely quite creepy so far much like the demo, looking forward to playing it more.

What's the general vibe on it from you all?

Overall, I loved it. There are some bits that are less excellent than the rest, but they don't detract from the overall experience for me.

I bounced right off it.
Saw through the atmosphere to see game mechanics and it ruined it.

From what I played there is very little threat. Checkpoints were abundant. Things seemed very scripted and linear, to the point there were parts where i couldnt attack anyway so knew I was on a walking SIM until attack buttons were unlocked.

Mostly I couldn't have cared less about the character I was playing. Dumb fuck shouldn't be in creepy house.

Haha.
Yeah but when it's a film it's passive. I quite enjoy calling them a dumb fuck. I don't want to be the dumb fuck. (Get enough of that in real ilfe)

Generally in games there is normally a better reason why they are there, or more accurately in this, why they didn't ring the police.

7 is ace until it becomes more Resi then its merely great.  Bosses are fucking shit and a waste of time and space though.  Really poor - all of them but then I hate all bosses.

Grabbed by the Ghoulies has a better setup than Resi 7.

It's a rare one that I didn't like while also being a bit gutted that I didn't. I really thought I would enjoy it.
Oh well.

I really liked 7 but then I'm no Resi nut. 4 is the first one I really played and I haven't played much of the others.

I did play a smidge of the new demo. Didn't want to see too much. Dang it is impressive though. I'll definitely be getting it. The fact it is 60fps on the BoneX is awesome too considering the graphics are so good, makes a big difference.
