well, they had to get their bioweapon alterations somewhere. it isn't like they cooked it up in a meth lab, or that their particular weird poo poo is natural unlike every other weird poo poo in the setting. even las plagas had to be artificially spread.

Man, it would be the best plot twist ever if they created the X Virus in a meth lab by accident.

Well, there is obviously some sort of umbrella connection, but I hope they are just nuts that happened to stumble into umbrella somehow vs them being some part of a secret experiment or whatever.

The picture of the umbrella helicopter implies Umbrella's spying on them, so that whole accidental virus in their meth lab thing is something I think might be the case.

Yeah they don't seem to be buddy buddy with umbrella by any means. Odds are the mold monster is an umbrella experiment that got loose or Umbrella is spying on them to learn more about the mold monsters.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
My theory is that the bakers are experimental lucid tyrants who can herd, propagate and control lesser bio weapons such as the moulded.

The older male baker is just like the tyrant in resident evil 2 down to the pale skin, freak strength and wall smashing.

They don't realize what's happened to them but their behavior instinctively turned the way it is.

Another very interesting point to note is the true ending - police investigated the house and found zero evidence. They also dismissed the escapee because lsd was planted on him. Whatever is happening, it's being very highly, effectively and professionally covered up. It wasn't the bakers who cleaned that disgusting bathroom up.

Hey Capcom, returning to the series roots is good and all but bad controls is something I had hoped we had left behind.






Seriously though, I think something broke with the install since pressing reset to default gives me a reasonable set of keys, but only in the options menu. During actual play it seems to be a third set of controls where A/W is forward/back and 4/S is left/right. The controller works without any problems. I'll have to verify file integrity later.

It feels like this would have to be a major bullshit conspiracy just to hush up the black helicopter labeled with the umbrella logo flying around. Reporting something like that at this point in the timeline that would have a couple of the usual suspects, and a special forces team to get massacred in advance of them, all over that swamp in a day.

Actually now that I think about it the Bakers definetly have some T-Virus poo poo or something similar going on, because in that video of the boss fight with whats-his-face he gets shot in the head and says something about how "bullets don't hurt him now" or something along those lines and proceeds to become a bullet sponge..

Squatting in a seemingly abandoned country house in rural Kentucky, some hillbillies setting up a meth lab stumble upon a secret basement laboratory chamber.

I'm going to bet that Ethan is an ex-Umbrella employee and the Bakers could possibly be failed experiments getting revenge on Ethan. I say this because I just noticed something in Resident Evil 5.

http://residentevil.wikia.com/wiki/Ethan_W.

The protagonist of Resident Evil 7 is called Ethan Winters. Now normally I'd call this a coincidence, but then I remember Resident Evil 5 namedropped Alex Wesker as well and Revelations 2 was centered around her.

if anyone is getting crashes like myself from the demo, wbacon (capcom dude) just confirmed the demo (and i guess the main game) is getting patched, so yay for dipshits like myself who don't want to upgrade their 6 year old cpu/motherboard/win7 just yet but still throw 8gig of ram and a r9 380 in their rigs because who doesn't love bottlenecks*

Demo Patch
Hi everyone,

We've been monitoring user feedback on the forums and have noted that customers with older CPU models that lack support for SSE4.x are experiencing launch and crashing issues. (e.g., Intel Core2 series, AMD Phenom II and earlier)

While we don't have a specific ETA at this time, the Dev team is looking to address this in an upcoming patch. We'll share more info as we make progress on this front.

Thanks for your patience and please stay tuned for an update.

oh poo poo. then again, didn't this spencer taking him out thing, happen in the 50's or something? re7 ethan could be his son or maybe the same dude but he took a flower turned into some kind of human looking tyrant. like the bakers. hmmmmm.

the pc demo just got datamined and got a whole lot of full game poo poo, weapons, items, other monsters, locations and even the last boss are mentioned. despite capcom saying they were delaying the pc demo to remove stuff to avoid a data mine makes me think alot of this poo poo is misdirection.

if you want to be spoiled check this out https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/5jjcwa/resident_evil_7_demo_data_mine/

the name of the last boss is making me think its full on misdirection. but then again, knowing this series... lastbossALBERT

In the case of Capcom the phrase "never chalk up to cleverness when incompetence can cover" springs to mind, but I also hope it is misdirection.

well, there was a "leak" and some rumours about chris coming back, and also jessica but the leak got deleted from reddit and it was the typical "i work for capcom but they laid everyone off so i'm going to spoil a bunch of poo poo" type bullshit. there is a youtube video somewhere that still has it but i dunno, some of the poo poo from the leak contradicts the data mine too.

I'm finally able to try the demo on my PC, and it doesn't do anything.

Steam says it's launching the demo, that window goes away and nothing else happens. I verified the integrity of my files, and everything seems good. I'm not on a dirt old CPU with no support for SSE4.x either.

Has anyone run into this and fixed it? I don't see anything on the Steam forums.

Edit: Trying to run re7trial.exe manually says that it can't start because MFPlat.DLL is missing? Is that something that should have been installed on the first run of the game?

Edit 2: I guess this error probably has something to do with my computer getting messed up. I don't do anything but Steam and zdoom, so what the gently caress?

I haven't played the demo yet, but just curious if it's known whether this really is the "beginning hour" of the game, this being a portion of the finished game?

Also I saw on the RE wiki for Ethan (unsourced) that the developer Masachika Kawata said Ethan is not who you play in the demo. Is this accurate?

The demo is its own separate mini-story, separate from the main game. Think what P.T. would have been to Silent Hills.

I assumed the character you (Mostly) play as in the demo with Ethan, but I guess we don't actually know that and there's nothing that really identifies who he is.

data mine reveals what might be the first set of dlc and unlocks for finishing the game.

"Details on the first DLC for RE7, the 'four short stories' DLC (not the 2 campaign chapter DLCs). Seems to be a collection of minigame type things. No info in the data about the two later DLCs (probably as they haven't started development yet).

DLC 1-1: A puzzle-focused gameplay chapter where it seems you answer riddles and other types of puzzles. Almost seems entirely puzzle focused.

DLC 1-2: A card game? Apparently some card game you can play either in a story mode way or an endless mode with some type of reward you get. Specifics not clear, but includes mechanics like bluff, and some sort of in-game droppable based on your performance.

DLC 1-3: Wave-Based Survival Mode. seems to have multiple stages, and 10 waves for each map.

DLC 1-4: A proper miniature story chapter with you in a place with Lucas it seems. Also seems to have three endings based on something you do in this chapter."

Unlock Rewards for beating the game

-Cleared Casual
-Cleared Normal
-Cleared Casual or Normal
-Cleared Hard
-Unlocked Destroy Mr EveryWhere
-Unlocked Time Attack
-Unlocked Birthday
-Unlocked Hard
-Unlocked TU2

no idea what any of that is. probably your typical battle mode


hope the card game dlc is like gwent and you play with the molded.
