Resident Evil 7 Rundown: A Glimpse Of Combat And Puzzles

Capcom recently released a series of Resident Evil 7 videos that show some of the game's mechanics and design elements. The eight teasers provide a cohesive whole about what kinds of old tricks Capcom is employing in its new take on the series. Below is a rundown of the videos from oldest to most recent courtesy of Eurogamer:

The World of Resident Evil 7: Vol 1 - Mysterious Caller A mysterious woman on the phone says "you really shouldn't have come here." The World of Resident Evil 7: Vol 2 - Shotgun In The Box It's literally what the title says. It's a shotgun inside a box.

The World of Resident Evil 7: Vol 3 - Recorder Instead of typewriters, players can save their progress at tape recorders. scour. The World of Resident Evil 7: Vol 4 - Stock Up Similar to Resident Evil 4, you can smash crates for goods like ammo.

The World of Resident Evil 7: Vol 5 - Survival Many expect that the classic Resi herbs would return, but this would be the first time to see them in action. Yes, you can still combine them. However, this time, you should combine a green herb with chem fluid for first aid spray, which is somehow a different recipe than oldhats will be used to.

The World of Resident Evil 7: Vol 6 - Immortal The most combat in Resident Evil 7 is seen here. It shows the player as it shoots a foe, supposedly killing them. However, in a Resident Evil game, several dead creatures don't stay down for long. The World of Resident Evil 7: Vol 7 - A Closer Look The teaser shows the player's ability to rotate objects. The video's sound effects also hint that you may have to shake things loose from containers.

The World of Resident Evil 7: Vol 8 - Imagination Here, a glimpse of the game's puzzle mechanic is shown as the player flips through their inventory consisting of strange objects such as a straw doll, circuit board, switchblade, and yellow balloon. Each object's shadow is also in front of a really creepy painting of a spider that reflects the classic mix-and-match key-and-lock puzzles the series is famous for. Meanwhile, IGN describes Resident Evil 7 as the harrowing homecoming of this survivor horror franchise that is due on January 24 for PS4 and PC.
