Minds were collectively blown when Sony aired a trailer for a new VR survival horror game that turned out to be the semi-reboot of Resident Evil, albeit still retaining the Resident Evil 7 title.

The brief gameplay footage showed off some absolutely beautiful graphics and an extremely atmospheric, tense tone, in which the player attempts to escape from a dingy old farmhouse.

The gameplay went down a treat and falls in line with prior rumours that Capcom were preparing an extremely radical reinvention of the Resident Evil franchise.

Plus, there's not too long to wait for it with a January 24 release date, and the opening hour is already available as a downloadable demo. Capcom, way to completely upend expectations for the series.
