Watch People React to ‘Resident Evil 7’

Published

“The scariest Resident Evil I ever played.”

That’s one of several glowing endorsements Capcom curated from a number of E3 attendees after they had spent some time with the game’s VR demo. You’ll hear it in the video below, along with a brief chat with director Paul W.S. Anderson, who has shaped the direction the film adaptations have taken, for better or worse, since the very beginning. Anderson says he might do a short VR film next year, and after playing the Resident Evil 7 demo — available to download now, for free, on PlayStation 4 — it’s easy to see why.

The Resident Evil 7 demo is an interesting beast. It’s scary, scarier perhaps in its 20 minute-long running-time than the series has been for quite some time. It’s also not immediately identifiable as a Resident Evil game, but that’s probably for the best. You could argue Resident Evil 6 wasn’t either. This franchise is no stranger to the comprehensive reboot. Resident Evil has been remade, rebooted, remastered and reimagined so many times that I have to remind myself not to capitalize the ‘RE’ whenever I mention its latest incarnation.

I’m interested in seeing what you have to say about the demo, if you’ve had the chance to play it. And if you haven’t, it’ll come to other platforms soon.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
