Re: First Impressions: Resident Evil 7 on PS4 Aims to Finish What Silent Hills Started

This is a strange one and I agree with everything ih this thread, a straight up conversion to the psychological horror of Silent Hill is perhaps too far from the Resident Evil that we know and love. However, there are elements of this demo that gave me the Resi warm and fuzzies, as soon as I picked up that finger I felt that old feeling, can't explain it. If you took the opening stretch of REmake, switched perspective to first person and added some camera-reveal jump scares, it wouldn't be a million miles away from Beginning Hour. RE4 dropped the zombies, switched the camera position, changed the setting and upped the action...but kept everything in canon, RE7 could do something similar in terms of mechanical overhaul.
