20 Things We Learned From Gamescom 2016
15. Resident Evil 7 Continues To Be About... Something (Probably)
I'd be all over the hype train for Resident Evil 7 if 1. Capcom hadn't unabashedly ripped off Kojima Productions' Silent Hills teaser, and 2. If the footage revealed so far wasn't just endless exploration, before one obvious jump-scare pops up at the very end.
It's no different for this latest showing either. Near three minutes of nervous breathing as our heroine explores a dilapidated household, only for a ghostly character to appear at the end and shout, "Where do you think you're going?!"
Honestly, considering how naff Resi 6 was, fans really need to see more - especially when what's out there looks more like someone doing a bad version of what was already perfected two years ago, by a demo.
