Dude just look up video footage... it looks terrible and ultra low budget haha.

I actually really enjoyed Operation Raccoon City. It was hella campy and mediocre, but I thought it was a lot of fun. Umbrella Corps is the one that I was really disappointed with. It had a LOT of potential, but they tired to turn it into a third person dude-bro shooter. Had they done the online matching like Killing Floor or Mass Effect 3 and had it mainly based around waves of zombies, it would have been WAY better IMO.

^I agree.

I also think Umbrella Corps would have been better in first person rather than third.

And I don't know how it is now, but at launch Umbrella Corps was completely fucked if you wanted to play w/ mouse and keyboard. Huge disappointment, that game.

I'm with noise, something about appreciating games other people hate. Lol

So the footage seems like they made it more shooter which I want but are the various game modes to try that are offline? I don't mind the budget feel or how different it is from a RE game so that's cool.
If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

Sorry guys, I was thinking of Umbrella Corps... please look that one up, because I have no idea how someone could defend it. :lol:

Operation Raccoon City looks fine in comparison.

RE 7 reminds me of Until Dawn in that it's a real joy to watch other people play it. I watched a couple guys on youtube freaking out as one of them was trying to beat Nightmare mode as things got more and more hectic. Then I watched someone play Ethan Must Die mode. After his first death, he returned to the spot where he died and was surprised to find a little angel statue there, which made me

I'm impressed at how much more adult RE 7 feels compared to recent entries too. It feels more grounded in reality, and I love hearing people drop F bombs and talk like normal people would.

Hmmm, interesting...


What I've seen of it so far seems interesting but I haven't seen how it all plays out yet.

Man, the DLC for this game is some of the most disturbing shit I've seen in an RE game

Poor Clancy, he's been through some serious shit. A lot of DLC just focuses on the hell he's been through. 21 Survival Mode is fucked up. Seriously. I mean, it's tame by horror movie standards, but I've not seen such effed up stuff in RE before

Like I said, Umbrella Corps was almost good. But they were like "Guys, we almost made a good game! Let's make it suck!"
