It's Christmas and chocolate coins left strewn about give a small boost to health, the drawback being you need to manually remove the foil wrapper with a two-thumb touchpad gesture.

 

[Archpath1]

A coin! = money = transactions =

We have to buy medicine with our own damn money

Lol idk

Spoiler

We must finger more

[ffejeromdiks]

I should mention the RE7 director at E3 said the Merchant was in Spain, but teased there may be other odd things in RE7 as a cryptic hint.

Exact quote:

I was so incredibly disappointed that there wasn't an African garb version of the Merchant in RE5, the idea that the guy is globetrotting and relentlessly stalking anti-bioweapon agents in order to sell them black market goods at a high price tickles me.

 

[Gurish]

What is it with the finger people keep mentioning? maybe I suffer from a black out but I played and finished RE1 (including remake)- RE5 and I don't remember any finger.

RE7 demo

 

[darkslayer101]

He will return.

a variation of the merchant...hmmm

 

[hermitpurple]

Wow, they actually admitted that RE4 takes place in Spain, not RURAL EUROPE

 

[DVCY201]

Where my Red, Yellow, and Blue Herbs at? Capcom, gotta listen harder!

 

[mikeyvids]

Coin. Micro transactions,play to win confirmed. /s

Merchant's back or coin=save stamp/typewriter

 

[DedValve]

Vending machines now replace typewriters. They will also at time simply eat your coin and not save.

Truly evil.

 

[Courage]

He will return.

And he'll take 2 hours to deliver the herbs after you text him.

 

[Whompa02]

The coin = zenny that you can get with real money

use zenny to spend for extra herbs and other COOL bonuses to defeat your foes!

a new era of microtransactions. Thank you Capcom /s

or a telephone booth...

 

[Kazuhira]

So the herbs can be used:

-as powder
-as spray
-as pills

and now as syrup? And they just heal any wound no matter how they're applied or consumed.

Why were Umbrella even making bioweapons? They must've made billions from these herbs.

Cool observation,i hope they bring back the blue ones too(CVX was the last game with that type of herb)
Maybe a new status like bleeding,i remember that the enemies in dino crisis were able to follow your blood trail.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Damn it, I wanted finger.

Herbs look good. There is no way anyone hypes Microtransactions, the coins have to be something else.

 

[Mindman]

They have herbs, now please, please... have safe rooms with soothing atmospheric music!

 

[Wishmaster92]

Over here stranja

 

[F0rneus]

Really hoping that if there's currency, it's used at an actual vendor. Like the Merchant's American cousin.

 

[Kowashitai]

or a telephone booth...

And right after you save you get Welcomed to the Family.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Gimme dat economy system, strange-ah'

 

[The Praiseworthy]

The game is out in 5 months.... We need to have a look at the actual game, not healing hearbs -_-

 

[clockworkinyou]

Coin represents micro-transactions to heal yourself.

Next level Capcom.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Fright Money?

 

[Kowashitai]

Fright Money?

Umbrella Bucks.

 

[TabooV]

Should have had the finger instead of a coin.

Right? hahaha

 

[Dusk Golem]

They have herbs, now please, please... have safe rooms with soothing atmospheric music!

When you pre-order RE7, you get a PSN theme. The PS4 theme notably has a tranquil track, not confirmed what the song is for in RE7, but some suspect it might be a safe room theme (could just be main hall or something though.)

Well at least there will be some odd things. Lol. I'm really looking forward to how this turns out. I really hope it's creepy.

Yeah true we need to see more of the game...there were like just few seconds of stuff outisde the demo in the E3 trailer, im hoping for something new at gamescom. I wonder if they going to keep the main character hidden until we play the game

 

[Spieler Eins]

Please no merchant.

 

[Gurish]

RE7 demo

Oh, didn't play it cause my Plus expired, thanks.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I expect them to. Since the main character is probably where the heaviest tie to the series is. He's probably someone's family or friend from the bigget cast.

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

I got a feeling we'll get a part 2 of the demo next month. Gameplay trailer at TGS as well.

 

[MCN]

Hm, coins...revival/restart tokens?

Buy herbs with microtransactions!

 

[Kowashitai]

I kind of hope they keep us in the dark about as much as possible. I'd like some resolution to the demo because they have said it separate from the main game, but I think keeping the surprise of what RE7 actually is is something Capcom should do. Show off creepy environments and enemies but not in depth gameplay.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Please no merchant.

Why not?

 

[Spieler Eins]

Why not?

It defeats the point of survival horror, unless used highly sporadically.

 

[Dusk Golem]

It defeats the point of survival horror, unless used highly sporadically.

It depends, like most things, on execution. WhiteDay I consider one of the scariest horror games I've played, and in the title you collect coins to use on vending machines to get healing items.

(of course, in WhiteDay you can be attacked while using said vending machines.)

 

[Fury451]

The Herbs are back!

Spoiler

Well of course they are

But they never left?

Wow, my bad, my sarcasm meter is busted.
