Resident Evil 7 - Discussion

It could be interesting I guess, to see a new "spin" on certain infamous incidents such as the Mansion and Racoon City Incidents. Maybe see them from a different angle, under a different light, but honestly I'd prefer to not mess with the canon.

I was just thinking the other day, maybe since RE7 will be the start of the "third" RE trilogy maybe they'll start with a new storyline? 1-3 was about the disaster at Raccoon City and 4-6 revolved around Las Plagas and Bioterrorism so...what comes next? I know I'm probably in the minority but why not ditch zombies/mind controlled humans and create an all new main enemy? Could it be paranormal? Something like RE4's beta period?

Making it paranormal would probably cause more backlash, but I do think it could be interesting if the zombies/mind controlled humans were gone and we got a game full of monsters (Rev doesn't count, the ooze were still pretty human and the basic type acted pretty much like zombies), maybe a G-Virus outbreak?

Some people would probably complain about that too but zombies are pretty overused now.

One idea I had was maybe have Chris and Jill reunite with the remaining S.T.A.R.S. after they receive an anonymous tip that something happening in a small isolated area is related somehow to the Raccoon City incident. An unknown threat has killed off almost everyone in a small town. Imagine investigating a ghost town in the middle of the night without knowing what horrors lurk in the shadows or around the next corner.

I could imagine this, it could be reminiscent of Resident Evil 1, have everyone split up and look for clues. Then they discovery their main enemy (zombies?!), further exploration leads to new areas, new enemies, and the final revelaiton (bad pun) is revealed. Also, I can imagine at one point having a limited amount of time to save either a survivor, a partner, or yourself.

Exactly. And like the original game you can choose which character you want to play through the story with and see their part of the story through their eyes. As for the soundtrack, I'd like a mixture of 4's and REmake's.

Meh these are ideas will never be a reality.

I do not know what the next game has in store. No matter what it is, I am ready to see some of the main protagonist die off. I would like to see more realism. Not complete realism, just more than we have had in the modern series.

One thing RE should always stay away from is paranormal. RE4 beta was hallucinations, not paranormal, and even then I think it strayed way too much from the scientific side of the series. I would only be okay with paranormal if they rebooted the series completely. The werewolf incident from the comics is enough paranormal for me from this series.

What if the werewolf was just a T-model wolf/dog who infected a normal person?

Except it was literally the classic werewolf, where a man turned into a wolf and back again on the full moon. You could argue that it was all just Jill's imagination in the dark but the dude pretty clearly was a wolf when he attacked her.

But then that would me Jill is a werewolf. I think that we should just be lucky that he wasn't a Saberwulf. We don't need an Ultra Combo-ing Jill in Wolf form.

How would that mean Jill is a werewolf? That line of deduction makes no sense whatsoever.

Usually, when a Werewolf attacks a person, and like zombies, the person will become one.

I never said she was injured. She shot the thing immediately after it jumped at her, after which there was a naked man lying dead on the ground.

Good point. Although, I highly doubt that she was using Silver Bullets, which would mean...!

Depends on the take on the werewolf, though you do have a point.

Considering all the wolves in your signature howling like crazy, I think werewolves in Resident Evil would be awesome, Mass Destruction. But just to make the game more difficult, there should be more werewolves than they are silver bullets, so you have to be extra wary.

Whoever posts here next and doesn't keep this quote going will contract AIDS. It's true.

And a werewolf in RE? Thats so wrong, yet still awesome. But obviously not something I want in RE. Good thing it was only in the comics.

Sh!t just got real. But, maybe the next RE could have a consequence from being attacked from specific enemies too much that could affect the ending...

Do you think RE7 will be released for Xbox 360?  

Considering how far the release still is, it's propably going to be next gen only. And PC, of course.

You never know, though.

I don't know, considering that MGS V The phantom pain will be released on the 360 (and that game has no release date yet) anything can happen. Besides, games like Ground Zeroes and Titanfall look great on xbox 360, of course, both games needed an installation, Titanfall even called it's install "enhanced hd content"

I'm going to merge this topic with RE7 discussion.

Good work. *clap*clap*clap*clap*

Teh Spike would like RE7 to be on 360, but it would be redundant having it available for both 360 AND Xbox One.
