here are some adivces to help everyone in the game, don't worry they are not major spoilers but i'll tag them anyway
don't try to shoot jack when he follows you through the house, it's a waste of resources
try to avoid the insects until you get a flamethrower
always try to shoot at the head of the weird looking enemies because their bodies are bullet sponges and sometimes it's best to just run past them, and always close the door when they are behind you because they can't open the door, so use this to your advantage
don't use all you liquid chemical stuff on herbs or potions, you can make strong bullets with them

Does HDR work on the pc release even without a GPU that has hdmi 2.0 ports (kind of like how the OG ps4 supports HDR)?

This game is a great step in the right direction for horror fans.

I really enjoyed all the boss fights. There not as crazy as some prior boss fights but really like the more down to earth approach to battles, sans the final boss which I can't even say felt like a boss. Doh. Sweet to see though.

Yeah I liked the boss fights as well.
Fantastic game. It's a 9/10 for me. REmake is a 10 of course.
This is great to hear. Minus the final boss.

Plus the one boss fight I won't mention, scared the ever loving shit out of me.

Can anyone confirm whether gamestop's 9 pm release is for pro members only? I'm not pro and while I'm willing to pay 12 more dollar,s I dont think I'm willing to pay like 30
Seems to be for pro members. Thats what the email they sent me said.
arghhhhhh trying to avoid gameplay footage but I want to watch this :|
It's going to be very interesting to see what they do with this.
I hope it's not just action bang bang, would be awesome if it was it's own little mini story.
Sigh, I wish I hadn't already completed the game, I want more!

It's mostly spoiler free. Nothing shown past opening hours or so sans one little area but nothing is spoiled hardly. Really can watch easy knowing. I'm sure other can confirm too.

Pretty hyped for tomorrow. It's definitely the most excited I've been for a new RE game in a while. Haven't gotten one on release since Revelaitons and haven't really been this pumped since before RE5.
I've also managed to stay fairly in-the-dark on RE7 too. I've tried to stay away from most news/media on the game for a few months now. I like having the feeling of not knowing a whole lot going in.
To those who have played it, what's the recommended difficulty? Is it worthwhile to start on Madhouse? Or is Normal enough of a challenge for a first-time playthrough?

Normal is easier than Remake, but not super easy.
Madhouse is unlocked after you beat it.
I did a comparison between PS4 and PS4 Pro for those interested... There's... Not much difference.

Just got done finishing the game for a second time, again on normal, and a good few hours shorter. I got a different ending!
My initial (and lengthy) reaction to the game is here, but I think it deserves a new appraisal after being more familiar with the game and getting into a more efficient, relaxed comfort zone with it.
Two major things stand out on a second run. Firstly, the game is actually even smaller and shorter than I thought it was, but it clicks. It works as a fast game, just like the originals, and it's paced very well, which surprised me. That said, I do wish there was more to it, and I'm hoping the DLC delivers something substantial. If it had another area the size and scale of the Baker estate or the
it would be perfect.
Secondly, Capcom have crafted themselves a nifty little FPS shooter. Unlike my rather inept first run, I found myself utilising weapons like a pro, and saving myself a ton of heartache in the process. My second run ended with a hilarious amount of spare ammo/health, so I think I'm ready for Madhouse mode now. Weapon and character movement has a very elegant flow to it, and while it's still sometimes a gamble, running past enemies is a legit and often highly recommended strategy, just as it's always been.
I really like this game. I actually want to jump straight back in and try another run and see how I can improve on my performance. To me, that's the sign of a great RE title.
To summarise:
+ Amazing visuals and sound design
+ Fantastic, old-school RE environment design- locked doors, keys, puzzles, backtracking, shortcuts, all that stuff
+ Inventory management is crucial
+ Great combat
+ Legit scary, even without VR, potentially terrifying with it
+ Bosses aren't quite the usual RE highlights, but are fun nonetheless
- Too short
- Too few enemy types
- Anorexic ties to the RE universe
- Story itself and characters are underwhelming

I'm not sure if I should play on VR, I was hospitalised last week for a heart condition. How are the scares?
Edit: two weeks ago.

8, 10, and 12 seem to be the average. My first run took me 8.5 and was rather surprised as I felt I was taking my time. That said it felt perfectly fine at the length I had. It will depend on getting stuck or lost really. Also I'm not sure retries count on your overall time.

So glad it's a hit. I loved the demo. For anyone who played the demo, did we ever find out what the

2 hours in this game and I need a break; they were right about the doors thing, it really puts you on the edge the whole time. And I was definitely not expecting the game to be so visceral either; the whole prologue section was one heck of an eye opener.
I need some hints on the early part:

How the fuck do you reattach your leg when Daddy Baker chops it off; I went through this 3 times without figuring out, and ended up clearing that part by triggering the alternate method of getting into the hatch.
Holy fuck, that smash through the wall scared the shit out of me.

Hoping this has glorious 21:9 support that was not available in the demo!

Madhouse basically adopts the ink ribbon system. You have to find save items and they're limited. On the normal difficulty, can manually save as many times as you like, or you can continue at the point you died, or you can reset and go back to the save.
Madhouse apparently also moves items and enemies around.
