Current Events > Holy shit. Resident 'Welcome to the family son' Evil 7 is now over 4 years old.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Feels like it was only 8 months or so ago that Resident Evil got good again.

Then they followed it up with the excellent RE2make and the pretty good RE3make.

Time flies man. That still feels like a new game to me

Umbrella Corps
RE5
RE6
RE Dead Aim
RE Survivor
Survivor 2
Operation Raccoon City.

And although not "bad" games like Outbreak 2, Gaiden, RE4, Umbrella/Darkside chronicles. While not "bad" are just ok.

RE7 felt like a return to form. It took the decent storytelling of Rev 2 but the atmosphere of the original trilogy mixed in with more modern game design. Inspired by popularity of P.T, they picked up the ball and ran with it.

It was good.

That feels about right. They've released multiple RE games since then

Well 2 is multiple I guess, but seems a little hyperbolic.

Between 2000 and 2004 they released 9 games.

Add a couple of weeks and make that 10

Finished it. Great game except for the total out of place ship level and underwhelming last boss.

I completed the game without firing a single grenade bc I always save the rounds for the final boss :(

2017 was a really good year for games, at least the beginning of the year.

I remember playing RE 7, Yakuza 0, Nioh, and Persona 5 all in a row.

fuck the ship part

Yeah that was weird.

IT wasn't awful, it was just kinda random. Felt like padding.

Some guy beat the entire game without firing a single shot (except the mandatory final boss)

On Hardcore no less.

Just ran away or knifed everyone.

the ship part was pretty weak, but it's my opinion that the facility part of each Resident Evil is usually the worst.

so I'm not gonna criticize RE7 for something that I'd give the other games in the series a pass for.

It's Resident Evil tradition for the second half of the game to devolve into bigger and bigger enemies falling to bigger and bigger guns in metal corridors.

ok?

but in this the boat felt odd and padded

I remember the demo Beginning Hour was so good and mysterious, definitely gave it a haunted house vibe with shit being moved around if you looked away for a moment. Wish theyd kept a bit of that in the full game, but I still loved it. Really wish I could play it in VR.

Nah that was great

Used that setting to it's fullest, then changed up the gameplay before it got dull.

Look at how generic Layers of Fear 1/2 is to see how old POV "As spooky things change around you wooooooooo, odd noises!" gets after hour 2
