Gone are the campy heroes, pseudo-sinister villains, and general unintentionally comedic B-grade horror tropes we've come to expect. It's too much of a departure from the series we know and love. However, after playing the demo or Resident Evil 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour as it's called, our only response was an indifferent shrug.
It seems that Capcom's using it as an opportunity to inject some maturity and quite possibly reboot Resident Evil.
There's a new first-person only perspective akin to the likes of Outlast, as well as a more vulnerable protagonist, rather than the third-person action oriented proceedings we're used to. Don't let the name fool you though, it's actually the eleventh instalment in the franchise. Resident Evil 7, or Resident Evil 7: Biohazard as developer Capcom calls it, is the latest entry in the long-running survival horror series.
