That RE7 song in the trailer is pretty disturbing.
Who sings this version of the song?

Yes, but why are you quoting yourself? I quoted myself to emphasize that it wasn't just the marketing, but also that they are releases that cause them to not sell as well. Also, 20 mil? really?

RE7 PS4 Pre-Order Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCPMKmlddk8
I like the song. Wonder if it's the game's main theme or menu theme? It sounds relaxing. Or hell, Save Room?

All of them are horror games, just not all of them are survival horror.
Also dunno how anyone could become physically scared of any RE game cept maybe REmake...you are way too powerful in RE4 (heck I'd say RE2) onwards too really be scared of anything.

So is the
the farthest anyone has gotten?
axe
I agree about motion sickness, it's an unfortunate problem, but that's not a problem isolated to Resident Evil. At all.
It doesn't turn the franchise upside down at all. First person in of itself has no effect on item management, ammo limitations, locked in locations and key-requiring doors, or the strength of horror presentation. All of which is simply down to the skill of the designers.

I found it on the PSN Store by searching Resident Evil and going to the Resident Evil 7 Store page and then going down a couple screens to get to the demo.
only this https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...hour/cid=UP0102-CUSA04772_00-BH70000000DEMO01
but there's no "Try Demo" button on webstore, you have to download it directly from PS4

I had a hard time finding it myself. You need to open the PS Store on your PS4 -> Discovery -> Free -> you should see the RE7 Teaser icon there.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Thats a bit of narrow minded way to think of it, but I agree FPS design has been around for years and while some see it as refreshing I see it as old restricted tat game design best left for low budget titles because amateur devs can't get the camera and collision detection working in 3rd Person its best left for shooters, luckily VR fixes a few of FP's problems but then VR brings it's own limitations too.
Why do you need cover when fighting zombies? You should be running away. Plus,most zombies shouldn't drop ammo. Ammo should be hard to come by.
Yep. If cover based shooters are the future let me stay in the 90s.
i bet the same people would cry again when we would get just another shitty Action Resi.
Also, whats the name in Japan going to be? Biohazard: Resident Evil?

Since surprisingly, no one has done this, here's a Resident Evil 7 trailer analysis. I am taking a look at the interesting parts of both the Sony E3 2016 trailer and Capcom's channel trailer, both of which are actually different. But first, Sony's conference version, as it has a lot more unseen stuff.
First, from Sony's conference trailer. A few things you guys may have missed.
The words fade out, and this forms in orange briefly from KITCHEN:
I don't think that's supposed to be a 7, it definitely looks like a 1. And notably the trailer fades out with this and does the colored orange thing the game's main logo does. Could there potentially be some deeper connection to RE1 than we realize? Or could it mean something else?
Now, most of the trailer is a slightly reworked version of the demo for RE7, but there are a few interesting bits when he inserts the video tape and multiple video feeds play at once:
The Sony conference camera zooms out a bit, and the whole stage reflects different trailer elements, but in this shot we can see some incredibly orange forest (and it seems to be gameplay, someone slowly walks through it slowly), and directly below it some bigger dude approaches what looks like someone laying down on the ground? It's hard to make out, but definitely stuff we have not seen.
NOW, this one is not going to make much sense with a still shot, but makes more sense in motion.
The top-left shows that in some segment of the game, we're going to be playing as a black character, which is cool.
In the middle right, there is a section where you DEFINITELY drive a vehicle. You can see the steering wheel, and then an option for you to smash the window and a car rearview mirror, so there's some sort of vehicle section.
This one took me a while to make out, but in the bottom-right there is some zombie(?) on fire who is jittering around ala Jacob's Ladder style almost like crazy and seems to be able to move super fast.
In the bottom-left, I can hardly make it out but it looks like blood cells going through a vein.
This one has a few interesting shots too. In the bottom left, we have a fatter cop character in what looks like a parking garage who's lights are flashing red and blue from the cop car. He seems to approach us with some hostility, keeping his hand on the holster of his gun.
Now, the middle two to the right are the two point of interests in this trailer. Again, this is hard to tell without motion, but in this shot, we see two similar enemies to the burning one I described. It seems a common enemy in this is a zombie thing that has jittery heads and limbs that can move surprisingly fast. We see a large zombie thing move by fast at the end of a tunnel looking area, and we see a zombie-looking thing mercillesly bashing itself with its jittering limbs against our slower protagonist. I'm finding the fact how FAST these enemies look interesting, since frankly our character seems quite slow. I'm not kidding either, the two in this shot seem like they're at least four times faster than our MC, and since they're the only identifiable enemy I see in the trailer, they may in fact be one of the main enemies in the game. From the blurry perception, they seem like fast Jacob's Ladder Zombies, but one of them looks way too big to be a regular zombie.

Some misc observations off the blurry footage, if I spot more, I shall report.

Been answered many times - yes.
This teaser is just like P.T,it's not a 100% representation of what the real game is.
Pretty sure we can fight back in the full game,i asssume they don't want to spoil the game by showing footage.
Think about it,the release date is not that far off and we don't even know who are the main characters(we play as random survivors in this demo by the look of it).
The only thing we know for sure is that it's a first person game because of VR.
Of course,this is my opinion and i could be completely wrong.
Didnt wanted to read all 78 pages - But thanks for the answer

Song is Tell Aunt Rhody, but this cover has been made for the game. Also the lyrics have been changed
This is a teaser and doesn't seem indicative of the final game at all. That said if they decide to go first person with this. I'm all down. Nail atmosphere, make it scary. I could honestly care less if I'm playing as Leon, Jill, Claire or whoever at this point. The story has gotten so big and ridiculous it doesn't even matter anymore.
Besides we have REmake 2 coming. I'll give capcom a shot by taking RE in a different direction.

Surprisingly the reception doesn't seem to be very big. Considering the wait since RE6 for a new RE game.
When RE6 got announced that shit was huge.

People on my twitter are hyped for this, and I even see some RE fans trying to do breakdowns.
E3 just has tons of information coming out. That said I'm shocked this game is coming out in February

Try putting the finger in the microwave, or freezer
I think this demo is very clearly designed to do things: First, and foremost, it's designed to excite the PT crowd. Having Silent Hills ripped away from us left a huge void in the horror-loving crowd; I don't think most that were excited have really fully gotten over it at this point. So to have a demo released during E3 of a Resident Evil that might attempt to claw at that kind of atmosphere is kind a megaton.
Second, it's a tech demo. For real. I mean, when you play it, the first thing you'll notice that is distinctly *unlike* PT is the framerate -- it's 60 fps, maybe higher, which is necessary for VR. But unlike most VR games and demos shown up to this point, it's on a different visual level -- it doesn't have quite the photo-realism sheen that PT had, but it's attempt is actually pretty good, and this means a VR-enabled game that might actually look great. But how do they know unless they test the waters? If people don't complain about the visual fidelity of the game (some will), it will probably make them feel like they made the right choice.
All that said (which is probably stuff you don't want to hear), here's some stuff you probably do want to hear: There is 0 indication in this demo, in my opinion, that this game is going to be the Outlast or Amnesia of Resident Evil. Hell, there's even a
weapon
What we're looking at, I'd imagine, is a game on the scale / size of RE1 -- a large place to explore, underground connections, various smaller houses on a estate, puzzles to solve, and -- yes -- bosses and enemies to kill. You can sprint in the game, and there are various active slots for weapons (and an inventory). I'd expect a typewriter (or something a bit more modern) to return. I'd expect an item box to stash all your stuff. And based on the less-than-witty dialogue in the demo, I'd expect characters that are silly, set against a backdrop of horror that is decidedly not. I have no idea why anyone wouldn't expect any of this based on this demo -- it makes too much sense not to have everything people liked in the original, but in first person, which, while it may take some getting used to, can probably provide a better action-oriented experience in portions of the game than people might expect.
But yes, expect them to actually try and sell the horror angle a bit more. It's going to be a darker game, probably not as funny. Probably the action will be a lot more personal, and less 4 or 5 things headed for you at once. But I'd really wait and see before getting to worried here -- it's still Resident Evil, and that means something more than what is on show in what is arguably a tech demo meant to test the waters in numerous ways. Who knows, maybe there will even be another demo showing off a different side, a more familiar side, of the game.
