Dead to rights
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard looks poised to be a commercial success as well as a critical one. Capcom has announced today that the title has shipped 2.5 million copies for launch, which is a decent figure even if it is less than the rotter Resident Evil 6 managed. We should point out that this number reflects the sum of units that...
Poll Should Resident Evil Remain First-Person for Now?
The million dollar question
For many ardent fans, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard's switch to first-person proved a bigger fright than the game itself – but as reviews proved this week, the change works better than it has any right to. Even those that enjoyed Resident Evil 6 would struggle to argue against the staleness that Capcom's flagship franchise...
Guide Where to Find All 18 Antique Coins in Resident Evil 7
Pelicans in your pocket

We should stress straight away that...
News Resident Evil 7's First DLC Launches Next Week on PS4
Cut content?
Hmmm. While we're champing at the bit for more of the excellent Resident Evil 7, we're not sure how we feel about the first pack being released so early.

News Resident Evil 7 Sharpens Up the Scares on PS4 Pro
Sony's new hardware leveraged to great effect
Resident Evil 7 is a stunning game. Running at a near locked 60 frames-per-second, the release has some ridiculously good lighting, which makes its Louisiana setting sing on the PlayStation 4. But the title's also making use of the PS4 Pro in some pretty positive ways, as this comparison between the two...
Feature Is Resident Evil 7 Any Good with PlayStation VR?
Back to the Kitchen
Resident Evil 7 is something of a rarity: it's a major PlayStation 4 title which can be played in virtual reality from start-to-finish using PlayStation VR. There are very few cut corners here – aside from the pre-rendered cut-scenes which annoyingly play in Cinematic Mode – and Capcom deserves credit for that; at a time when...

News Resident Evil 7 Custom PS4 Controller Has Dummy Fingers for Triggers
You are dead
Vulpe Andrei is a dab hand at console and controller mods, having been behind some of our favourites in the past. But this custom Resident Evil 7 DualShock 4 is a cut above his usual work; the attention to detail is insane. While the pad's ugly by design, we absolutely love some of the touches, like the use of dummy fingers for the...
Feature 5 Crucial Resident Evil 7 Questions Answered
'Cos Capcom ain't sayin' much
Resident Evil 7 releases in less than a week, but questions are still circling Capcom's latest like a bad smell. Can you play the game without PlayStation VR? Is there a co-op mode?

E3 2016 Resident Evil 7 Producer Was Gutted by Silent Hills' Cancellation
"I really loved it"
Resident Evil 7 looks to have taken a little inspiration from P.T., the demo for Silent Hills.

That said, it sounds like everyone at Capcom was a big fan of the concept – and the publisher was sad to see the...
News Could There Be a Secret Ending to Resident Evil 7's Demo?
The finger and the axe
So, we posted our First Impressions of the Resident Evil 7 demo a couple of days ago, and we liked it.

Maybe not. Within the demo,...
