5 years later, what went wrong?

Always thought about getting this game but also heard the VR version is the best way to experience it. Can anyone confirm?

oh yeah i forgot about that decision, that was bs

Aesthetics, while good in their own regard, don't fit the stylish and steely classic RE flair. But then again they fucked it up already starting with RE 4

VR makes it far more impressive but I wouldn't recommend buying PSVR. If you could borrow it from someone or get it super dirt cheap then sure.

The latter part of the game feels disjointed from the earlier, specifically the ship.

I think there was too much of a lack of enemies and that the game should've ventured a bit more out of the house but into the surrounding area. Maybe there's another house nearby which has succumb to the same thing; or a small town nearby.

I love Jack and the chainsaw fight against him is an amazing setpiece.

They ventured out more in the Zoe DLC. It seems like they didn't have the budget to fill the campaign with more stuff unfortunately.

I'm hoping 8 learns from these mistakes and they make a more open outdoors environment.

Nothing it was great

The DLC was a free update, fag.

>>the boat is a fucking slog
It was the only part of the game that felt like an RE game. Going through multiple floors, grabbing keys and weapon upgrades. But yeah, hiding in the classic from spooky grandpa was better. Fuck off, nu-trash

Chris Redfield looking like that

Almost a year later. That's like waiting a year to watch the last 20 minutes of a movie.

Molded have very little variety. I know they're somewhat an evolution of the Ooze, but those had variety in Revelations.

The game peters out as soon as you start the boat.

Way too much DLC for shit that should have been included in the game. At launch, there was very little replay value unless you wanted to play the game on a harder difficulty.

yeah a botched ending that had was outsourced to some corona company and rushed to shit

The boat itself wadn't the issue.

Doing it twice was.

Also, the game's final boss was dreadful and I don't even believe you can fail it.

Initially, but then Capcom fired that team and hired HexaDrive.

>The game peters out as soon as you start the boat.
Why do you fucking zoomers always say this? I understand you bought it because of twitch bait outlast shit but this part feels like mid game RE games. Actually able to kill enemies at last instead of running from spooky invincible grandpa. Collecting keys and upgrades in your own 3 story contained environment. I loved it.

I'll second what the other guy said. It's great in VR, but PSVR isn't great, not worth how much they're asking for it anyway. I think you would get a much lamer experience if you didn't play it in VR though, so the best thing to do for now is to just wait and see if they will patch in VR support for the steam version, or improve it for PS5 VR. There's no rush to play it until an RE8 gets announced anyways.

It's pretty much up there with HL:A as the only AAA VR experiences. RE7 isn't quite as full fledged since it still uses a normal controller instead of VR controllers, but it's still one of the best VR games available so far.

Abandoned the core RE fanbase for zoomer twitch watching shitheads.

FPBP. It was a solid 7/10. Still a decent game worth playing

See: I didn't mind in the least doing the boat as Mia. Doing it again as Ethan sucked.

>but this part feels like mid game RE games
You mean the worst part of RE games? I agree

This

Was kinda cool coming back to it as a run down piece of crap with sludge every where as opposed to the crisp and clean version as Mia.

It feels like a mediocre RE mid game when you're ready to wrap things up. If you introduce it at the start then that's fine, but this is several hours in and the story is almost done. Then it's time for a shitty flashback to the ship playing as a character many people find fucking annoying and have no reason to care about. It would of been great as part of a DLC package, but in the main game it extends things out just when you want it to start wrapping up.

The game would of been much better served with a more linear trek through the swamp to go back and fuck up the granny than opening a whole new area full of back tracking and the exact same enemies.

we started getting REmakes instead of sequels

The fact they didnt use as a base for RE8 or even remake games.

Great game. Top 5 resident evil. It tried to do something new but respecting the staples such as suspense, exploration, puzzles, etc unlike RE4 which made of RE franchise something that it wasnt. The excuse of resident evil needed something to survive was always a shitty excuse, you didnt need to kill the survival horror aspect to do something new as RE7 proves.

Now, re7 is not without faults. But Id take it any day over RE4 which doesnt deserve a numbered entry. If re4 was another spinoff I wouldnt mind but Code Veronica deserved the number 4 much more.

It didn't do anything new. It copies Amnesia but had to include mainstream elements. Same way RE5 copied Gears of war.

RE is no longer innovative, it's a trend follower which hurt it badly with 6 and got lucky with 7.

It’s nothing like Amnesia you retard. The only similarity is that it’s first person.

1. Re7 is nothing like amnesia but just the first 30 minutes. You can defend yourself properly in re7 and good aiming and fighting skills are rewarded. Again NOTHING like Amnesia.

2. Gear of wars copied RE4.

I've seen this same exact complain and I don't understand it. RE1 was meant to be in first person but was cut due to hardware limitations, if anything RE7 is closer to what the devs wanted to do back then, especially since in terms of level design it feels closer to the originals than anything after 4 was.

DLC was kind of lackluster in comparison to the main game. Also I'm still mad that you can't save Zoe in the main game.

see
The first 30 minutes and unstoppable enemies you're forced to run or hide from. The tapes all play out like indie horror games a few years pre-RE7s release. RE7 was an extremely safe horror game designed to give Capcom a sure fire hit to fund their VR. If RE7 did well they had got VR tech out of it and if it failed it was again VR tech funding they can use else where.

RE4 wasn't the first game of it's type. It copied other shooters of the era too, but Gears style co op isn't from RE4.

I'm not complaining I'm just explaining. RE1's original design was first person but it didn't work. Was tried with the gun survivor series which didn't work too well either. RE used to be spin off city and it's tried most things.

Pretty much all the enemeis are too easy and it loses its edge after the house but it's still good overall

It features my wife so nothing much.

it's been 3 years user

>The first 30 minutes and unstoppable enemies you're forced to run or hide from.
>The first 30 minutes
At least you are admitting you are retarded

Nothing went wrong, it's the best RE to date.
Why didn't you like it OP?

forgettable main character, boring storyline, unbelievably unsatisfying combat, horrible goblin faces, spoopy fps-style.

>main baddie in RE7 was just an evil little girl

This is how you can tell RE7 was written by gaijin.

It was at least twice as good as RE2make.

Gaijin? it's a Jap trope user, not western and one of the writers were indeed Jap. The western influence is in the Texas Chainsaw aesthetic.

They're both great. VR has this dollhouse effect where everything looks super small and it blinks whenever something will happen to you so it's more predictable with the scares. It's also super atmospheric though.

As soon as you leave the Baker estate, it becomes a generic shooter.

It has the same writer as FEAR, which also had an evil little girl.

>5 years

hold up

Most RE titles have an easy and simple final boss fight.

That doesn't render it any less of a Japaneese trope user, it just makes the writer a weeaboo, or desperate to cling to his one claim to fame.

>it copies amnesia

holy shit you're retarded

Everything. This game is boring 5/10 spinoff.

-Have to complete the regular campaign to unlock the really fun difficulties
-Fun escape room/minigame stuff was sold separately as DLC instead of being packaged into the main game via VHS tapes
-Shitty moral choice option out of nowhere just to add 'replay' value
-Horrible lack of monster variety
-All the women are ugly as sin
-Final area/boss are extremely lackluster
-Awkward transition onto the boat, you can tell that the boat segment was originally going to be the starting point of the game before they switched things around to cash in on the success of P.T.

All that said still a 9/10 game that I ended up replaying 3 times. Still, another month or two of polish and less greed with the season pass and RE7 would have been an easy GOTY.

>The fact they didnt use as a base for RE8
Excuse me, what? Source?

Corrupt children is an universal horror trope. They're supposed to be innocent and protected so when one goes bad it hits a primal fear. Only an idiot weeb would believe it's a Japanese only trope when it's been all over the world through out history. A prime example being various exorcism style rights aimed at children
