What would you consider a return to RE 1-3?Fixed camera angles?Third person view?Because one of the reasons that I loved RE 7 so much it because it felt like the earlier games.I mean, it needs improving, as a higher focus on puzzles(specially item based puzzles), and a bit more backtracking in the sense that RE 1 had you retracing your steps every so often to unlock a room that was previously unlocked(RE 7 was kind of light in this), but otherwise RE 7 feels much like the classic RE.

The style that made Resi 1-3 does include the camera angles and the general third person view, but it also contains visuals that didn't follow through the series (because we get people quitting here and there for nearly any studio out there, in doing so you lose some of that talent that made said game).

I know that some explain what they want out there from Resi, but to me R7 doesn't feel like R 1-3, but it feels more like a modern merge of Outlast meets Resi and well, we have Outlast and Resi for those respective experiences. 

Look at Code V, it had plenty of backtracking, creepy and eerie music, insane characters and a focus on the undead and a Virus. With 7 you didn't really catch on about the Virus until later on.

To some RE 7 is going to feel like an absolute exact return to roots, but for others (myself included) it doesn't feel the same. It just feels different, like it could have been a new IP and I'd easily accept it as a new IP.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
