CAPCOM has released three gameplay videos that tease some of the new horrors that await in their upcoming survival horror game
"Resident Evil VII biohazard". Also, there's a streaming gameplay video released by
TheRelaxingEnd via YouTube that plays through
"Resident Evil 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour", which is 90 minutes of pure terror.
"Beginning Hour" is not a part of the final game, but it's a great introduction to what the game will be like.
This will be the first game in the franchise to feature a first-person perspective, and the action is set in modern day rural America, four years after the events of
"Resident Evil 6". The protagonist, Ethan Winers, is a civilian, which severely limits the combat options we would all hope to have in a deadly situation such as this. While searching for his wife, Ethan comes across the derelict plantation mansion that belongs to the Baker family. The videos focus on some of the hide-and-seek games that players will have to endure inside the house of the deranged Baker family, and the atmosphere is quite disturbing, to say the least.
"Resident Evil VII biohazard" will be released on January 24th for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The PlayStation 4 version will be playable in VR using the PlayStation VR headset.
