Wasnt the Spark Shot very good against the walking plant monsters (which you encountered like 3 times total) ?

*edit* I'm thinking of Leon's equivilent which was the flamethrower

It's actually not that bad against either Birken boss on the tram/elevator thing to the lab (at least in Claire A, can't recall how good it is in Claire B). Which is good, since you get it right before that. Otherwise, leave it on the corpse unless you're just hurting for ammo. It *might* be good against Dog-Birken or Mr. X, but I haven't actually carried it that far, because usually when I'm done with the boss fight the thing's at like 20-40% ammo and thus I don't want to waste two item slots on like four to eight shots.

flamethrower suuucks + it brings down your rank,watch as the evolved lickers just slice the gently caress out of you as the flamethrower gives them a gentle back massage.

God i hope they do a new game + and let you carry over the super shotgun :pray:

Very rude of Leon there. Fat Zombie just wanted a candy bar from the machine.

Heh, that part where Leon shortens some dead guy's legs. Also the face just before that.

Edit: Suplexes and roundhouses probably aren't back but the good old "knock down and knife" sure is.

Double Edit: Defensive weapons it looks like? The fat zombie grabbed Leon, he stabbed it, and the knife stayed in the zombie.

Triple Edit: lol instead of everything being locked up because the Chief deliberately sabotaged the station it looks like at least some of the weapons and ammo will be locked off because some jackass pried the number keys off a keypad for a joke

It's a joke. About how some people are extremely quick to judge a game in the dumbest fashion. Specifically by assuming the focus on a specific thing in game media means it's the only thing in the game.

Specifically a joke at how this thread was full of people going "looks like a lovely Outlast clone" from E3 2016 until right before RE7 came out.

Not that I mind, but are some of those assets straight out of RE7? That fuse box and the part where Leon cuts throught ducttape seemed awfully familiar.

One of the lockers has a knife in it, they're like the self-defense daggers from REmake apparently

It looks like there might be persistent damage on the characters? After the guy playing gets owned by zombies and almost dies, Leon has a bite mark on his neck when he's talking to Marvin, which he didn't have when he entered the station.

Is anyone else pumped about the deluxe edition "Original soundtrack swap" feature? I loved the RE2 OST.

Also, has any outlet confirmed what "gameplay modes from the original game" means? Is it really fixed camera, or is this perhaps referring to the hunk/tofu modes.

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
If they're starting the story earlier than the original by showing how Leon and Claire entered Raccoon City despite the military blockades, maybe we'll finally answer a question that has plagued Resident Evil fans for 20 years.

The only way to get the good ending is the no damage run, otherwise your character gets infected and dies during the credits :v:

Makes sense because RE7 was the first foray with the excellent new RE engine which now powers RE2make and DMC5.

Here's some more demo gameplay, the same area but without stage presenters talking over it, and a player that completely no sells loud noises and enemies that are obviously right behind them. The knife counter attack isn't exactly like REmake, instead of a consumable item it's your ordinary combat knife and once you use it you can't get it back until you've killed the enemy.

As spooky as the game looks, I love that they're making sure to keep some of the camp in there too. Leon getting mad and calling random zombie assholes is great. :allears:

Its obv. the reason was so late to his job on his first day. He had to go out of his way to make sure to pick up his custom police uniform from some far off tailor.

A somewhat original take on the knife, neat.

Gunpowder is back. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, wasn't really a fan of it in 3.

One of those zombies in the first area had some weird red growths on it. Return of Crimson heads?
