Capcom's brand-new Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was unveiled during the PlayStation event at E3 2016. A new installment for the legendary franchise obviously created big waves among fans of the horror/survival franchise, but the team at Capcom truly outdid themselves with RE7: its new RE Engine now delivers photorealistic gameplay in first person! Combine this with the unreal immersion that PlayStation VR provides and we have a perfect recipe for self-induced insomnia.
Resident Evil 7 takes place after the events of Resident Evil 6 and is set in rural America. According to the RE7 press release from Capcom, "Resident Evil 7 embodies the series’ signature gameplay elements of exploration and tense atmosphere that first coined “survival horror” some twenty years ago; meanwhile, a complete refresh of gameplay systems simultaneously propels the survival horror experience to the next level. Terrifying fans at events across the globe last year, the PlayStation VR 'KITCHEN' tech demo was developed utilizing the RE Engine’s VR oriented tools, and is the foundation on which the talented Resident Evil team has crafted the immersive horror experience in Resident Evil 7."
So just how terrifying is the PlayStation VR Kitchen demo? Here's a quick synopsis: you awaken inside a creepy cottage on an old plantation mansion to a phone call. The voice on the other line says: "If you don't get out now, they will kill you."
