It is straight up "Resident Evil 7 biohazard," slated for a January 2017 release, VR compatible, first person game. A link to a demo was briefly up but taken down so expect that soon-ish.

e: And by soon-ish I mean probably this week, maybe in 24 hours?

That trailer gives off a very supernatural vibe and that feels like a noticeable departure for Resident Evil's whole evil science gone amok feel. I mean, that trailer didn't seem bad by any means (except for maybe the song which seemed out of place) but it overall it came across more like Evil Within or that Resident Evil 3.5 thing.

Man I cannot believe this is happening. I am 29 years old. I grew up with Silent Hill 1, Resident Evil, Fatal Frame, and others. When I view the first video and the gameplay trailer, I cannot help but feel like this is what we have all been waiting for. I am not the type to go on game message boards to argue or even discuss topics like this but when I see what we've been given... God drat, I am glad I preordered a PSVR a few months back.

I read a rumor that Resident Evil 2 Remastered has been put on the backburner in order to push RE7 out and that it's unlikely to land before 2018. That's the true horror.

That RE7 demo doesn't look too hot. It's got all the atmosphere of a crappy Unity horror game.

I'd be all for a more horror adventure game RE, but how it is now is just a load of nothin'. Somebody get the RE7 crew to play Scratches and have them learn from that.

I sincerely doubt that because Kojima seems like the guy who wants to make sure the gameplay in each game is fine tuned to perfection, even with his love for cinema.

Also prior to the reveal he said his next game will be an action game.

I'm kinda worried that all the faults with Konami's treatment of Kojima that they probably also had a focusing effect on him by setting strict deadlines and curbing his excesses. As an independent, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see Death Stranding until the PS5.

i dunno, i watched it and i thought it was alright, felt like P.T.-lite and I'm okay with that

the "playing as the cameraman" thing when watching VHS tapes is pretty cool too

i'm more curious about how this ties into RE timelines; an ex-sub newscaster demoted to cheap-thrill horror show host doesn't seem like it'd fit in normalcy in the same world that had zombie / BOW attacks in major metropolitan cities unless, you know, things got better (admittedly i don't remember much about 6 after the big battle at the end of leon's arc so idk if things "got better" or not). also definitely some paranormal poo poo going on, ghost girls appearing on tapes are not things i'd expect from resident "complete global saturation" evil

Or the atmosphere and overall organisation at Konami was so toxic that Kojima had to fight every inch to get the game developed at all.

I wouldn't be suprised if all the pachinko plans, mistreatment of employees was the real reason, rather than Kojima's lack of direction.

If it's in the same universe as past RE games, I can see them bullshitting something like a psychic effect caused by a mutated Wesker to explain the ghosts.

I do think it would be neat to have a Resident Evil game that focuses on someone without the action movie superpowers of prior protagonists, who has to scramble for guns and is majorly threatened by even a single zombie.

Kojima is apparently the kind of guy to cut the ending of a game and yet fill the game with easter eggs and chicken hats so... yeah. Not sure about that.

I just hope that his perfectionism doesn't get the better of him and cause him to pull a Star Citizen, starting off with lots of talent and money and trying for so much that they make nothing. I don't think he -will-, but we don't really know for sure

Required by his programming!
i'm pretty sure even kojima himself has made an offhanded comment or two about how he benefits from having someone sanity check his ideas so a fair bit of his success on striking out on his own will revolve around the quality of his inner circle. but that's not a surprise - really, one of the chief reasons inXile has generally done so well while Obsidian has had such a checked past is because inXile's entire executive team has a wonderful blend of ambition, shrewdness, and practicality while Obsidian's executive team lets the company get talked into things like Metacritic scores determining their loving pay.

kojima will need a team of people that can tell him 'hideo, that's loving stupid, let's try x instead' or 'hideo, that costs too much, we will need to do our expense planning more intelligently by doing y' and be taken seriously. that is a very rare thing in all businesses, not just video games, and it's the thing most of the 'great man failures' in gaming haven't had. nobody's an island but everyone in a leadership position is more or less expected to be.

It's Kojima, his art director, producer, and his personal assistant. Being a private independent company it's hard to say what the management is like but it's safe to assume he has final say on all manners.

However, being a private independent company (and not a subsidiary of Konami) means that he's not playing with house money anymore. If Sony is funding this game they're going to check in regularly.

It's old, but the interview where Shinji Mikami, Hideo Kojima, and Suda 51 all sit in a circle chatting was a really good one, and contains a lot of less-filtered information.

It had already aged badly when it was new, but it's also one of the most unique horror games ever made. Just keep a guide handy.
Blood Curse is a much more linear and straightforward game, yeah.

Promo materials go as far as they can without openly mentioning System Shock.


I'm over black oil as an antagonist in anything, and while the eye thing's an effective visual flair it's ripped more or less entirely from Prometheus (there's a lot of Prometheus in it, honestly), beggars can't be choosers.

Arkane Studios are making it and they're basically the guys when it comes to dedicated immersive sim (it's being developed alongside Dishonored 2) but the other notable thing is that Video Game Story Guy Chris Avellone has been working on it too, so.

I kinda wish that we were still getting the space bounty hunting game that Prey 2 was supposed to be. Though I am vaguely interested by that trailer.
