Resident Evil 7 Announced + Demo now Available

Resident Evil 7 was announced during the E3 conference and it has quite the twist. Last year IRB GAMER had the opportunity to play Kitchen, who would’ve thought it was an intro for Capcom’s biggest horror title to date, Resident Evil?

On the PlayStation Store, gamers can download the demo entitled “Beginning Hour” and experience Resident Evil for the first time ever in first person. Similar to Hideo Kojima’s masterpiece P.T., can you make it out of the demo alive?

Here are the available features in the seventh installment:

FEATURES:

 Opening the doors to a new era of horror – The next major entry in the renowned Resident Evil series makes a dramatic new shift as it comes to next generation consoles, Windows PC and PlayStation VR

 Returning to the series’ roots – Resident Evil 7 biohazard will deliver an experience reminiscent of the series’ signature gameplay including exploration, puzzles and a realistic tense atmosphere for players to encounter but will offer a complete refresh of the gameplay systems to propel the survival horror experience to the next level

 Immersive, visceral horror – A new shift for the series to first person view brings the terrifying horror directly up close and personal; PSVR compatibility heightens the chilling experience even more.

Built from the ground up on the RE Engine – Capcom’s brand new VR compatible development engine works in tandem with industry leading audio and visual technologies to create a disturbingly photorealistic experience for an unprecedented level of immersion

 Step inside the plantation now on PlayStation Plus – The standalone teaser demo “Beginning Hour” can be downloaded now by PlayStation Plus subscribers, delivering players a taste of what they can expect from Resident Evil 7 biohazard when it releases in January next year
