Hey everyone, this is Dusk Golem aka AestheticGamer. I have posted on NeoGAF since 2011, and have decided to resign. I have enjoyed posting about horror games here for years, but I no longer wish to support the site and will be leaving for good. I will still be around the internet, I go by AestheticGamer on YouTube, I make games on Steam as Yai Gameworks, and I plan to go by Dusk Golem on other forums. I'll be joining an off-set of the GAF community leaving to try other ventures like ResetEra (Official Twitter for that here: https://twitter.com/reseteraforum ). I hope some of you who read this may consider it, and I plan to try to expose more people to horror games in the years to come. Just not here.

I hope you all are having a good day, and know I always loved the community, and in the end it's the community I'm going to stick with, not the site itself. If you want to follow me, my official Twitter is here: https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1
 
In my veins. All of it. Every bit of it. You're doing this forum a great service with this game (and a shit ton of other horror games), Dusk.
 
FREE DLC? From Capcom?
What world am I living in? This is pretty amazing. I won't buy the game at launch, but definitely some time after the Switch released. And I will enjoy it. Greatly.

I am a sucker for any title that reads (character MUST DIE!)

Ie Commander Keen 3 : Keen must Die!

It just tickles me just right.

Free DLC is Chris stepping in, punching giant boulders to dust and thus making VII canon. And the fans will cry "Oh no, he is NOT A HERO in this game, please no!"... XD

(due to how GAF links to the site, just refresh the page when it tells you access is forbidden.)

So Resident Evil 7 releases in a week, and Capcom have unveiled more on their DLC plans for RE7.

There will be four pieces of DLC for RE7 that will release throughout 2017. Three of the pieces of DLC are for the Season Pass for $29.99, or can be bought separately for a bit more, and the fourth piece of DLC (and first one releasing) will be released for free for all owners of RE7 in May.

The free piece of DLC for Resident Evil 7 is titled, "Not A Hero". It will release again in May. The full details are being kept under wraps, but Capcom says it doesn't star Ethan, his story is wrapped up in RE7, but another character which tells a side story that helps fill in some of the blanks in RE7's plot. Says it will give a "different taste" of gameplay style compared to the main game and is linked to how Ethan escapes in the main game. it's confirmed to be an additional gameplay chapter of RE7, though. A free expansion.

The following DLC will also release through 2017 for those who purchase the Season Pass/Deluxe Edition, all DLC is confirmed to release before the end of 2017:



And of course, the free DLC releasing in May, "Not A Hero", which is an additional story episode as well, and is not part of the Season Pass but free for everyone.

That's pretty cool. I always like when DLC tries to provide something different from the main game (e.g. Lost in Nightmares from RE5). It does seem like there's a lot of content in that season pass too, so I might just have to buy it.

I was wondering if pre-ordering the deluxe edition was a good idea, but seeing this I think I did the right thing.

Now to finish RE6 before 7 hits!
 
Yeah if the game is as good as it looks I'm in for that season pass. So far I can't get enough of what I've seen from RE7 and it sounds like they're trying to mix things up a bit with each DLC release. Also free DLC always butters me up, probably the easiest way to my heart.

I'm excited for RE7. I've just started playing 4 again later. Hoping to play 5 and 6 before 7 comes out to get all caught up.

Hmm, that's going to be hard unless you have a shitton of free time. I have finished 1 of 4 RE6 campaigns and I'm not sure I'm gonna make it before 7 lol

Mmmmm...
There's a pic leaked, in said pic, of a man that some says is
"Mr. C"
, others,
"Mr. D"
. I bet we gonna play as him.

Why you say that HK? Well, "Not a hero", "Different Gameplay Experience", "B side of the story to fill the blank". Clearly looks like the classic RE side story where you play as a character full of weapons, fighting through hordes of enemies. And the only character that fits the description, it's him.

Almost here and so far I have been able to dodge spoilers outside of some 10 min gameplay released a few months ago or so. Finished RE2 Claire B route yesterday and damn it was fun (once again). I didn't remember a lot of it since that's the run I've only played once before (almost always gone Leon B instead).

Heads-up, a bit more detail about the Season Pass DLC.

In the Banned Footage stuff, the first two are 'unique gameplay scenarios', and the last one listed (Ethan Must Die and Jack's 55th Birthday) are in fact, new gameplay modes.

Updating the OP with the info.

I just hope they aren't trying to troll us by disguising game modes as story DLCs , but i'm sure it wont be worse than that Moira horde mode in Rev 2 rotfl.

Man we get

RE7 and Final Chapter in January,
a seemingly interesting DLC and Vendetta the cg movie in May.

Pretty good, REmake 2 teaser at E3 or TGS and it will be a pretty awesome year.

God I'm already enticed by what the first free and final DLC will be - weirdly enough its because there's literally zero details about them and the game isn't even out yet!!

Next week is going to be so good!!
