Resident Evil 7's Demo Isn't Resident Evil We won’t be surprised to see this being a divisive entry in the franchise. Playing it using PS VR resulted in a much better experience. Our initial impressions based on the first demo for the PS4 without PS VR were far from pleasant. With every previous mainline Resident Evil game being in the third person, it will be interesting to see how this decision shapes up.Įven in first-person, Resident Evil 7 isn’t a wholly uniform experience. A fair thing to do considering previous entries had you punching boulders and gunning down zombies as if you were playing Gears of War.
The reason for this change is to focus on the game’s horror and tension. Taking inspiration from the likes of Outlast, Resident Evil 7 is played entirely in first-person.
