10 Intense Video Game Horror Chase Sequences
4. Jack Baker - Resident Evil 7
In light of Resident Evil 3 remake's recent announcement, I'm of the opinion that Jack Baker serves somewhat as a preliminary experiment on the developer's part.
Like Nemesis before him, Mr Baker isn't just a one-and-done boss battle, but a persistent force that'll hound Ethan through the family's quaint little plantation until he's either subdued for the umpteenth time or succeeded in his attempt to lodge a fire axe in the poor sod's skull. The former outcome is preferable, of course, but even if you succeed, the patriarch will come back again. And Again. And Again. Always when you least expect it, too, the bugger.
Truth be told, Resident Evil 7 - the triumphant risk on Capcom's behalf that it ultimately turned out to be - lost a great deal of its scare factor once Jack bit the bullet for good, but those first few hours? Pure, unbridled terror.
