Resident Evil VII

The New Resi Proves A Bit Too Gross For Comfort With This Latest Reboot To The Grandaddy Of Horror Games

Survival horror, that old moniker first bandied around 20 years ago with the first Resident Evil, has never felt more appropriate than it does now when playing in first-person with a PSVR strapped to your face. If you’ve been sitting on the fence regarding Sony’s budget-priced headset, this will be the game to convince you of VR’s bright future in encounter-based gaming.

Capcom has previously dabbled with first person viewpoints with the likes of both the Resident Evil: Survivor and Chronicles light-gun spin-off games. A mixed bag to be sure, but this latest instalment seems to hit the nail on the head – as Resident Evil 4 did in 2005 when it switched from the established fixed-camera angles to the over the-shoulder viewpoint most action shooters have since adopted.
