RE7 is the first game to make me stress out while playing it since Dead Space 2. Very few games make me feel uncomfortable while playing them. RE8 is definitely less horror than RE7 was, but it still has its moments.
Well I heard just sum baby part is scary that's it... The rest of the game is cod with werewolves lol
I wouldn't go so far as to relate it to Call of Duty, but it does lean more heavily into action. RE8 was highly inspired by RE4, so think about the way the original RE4 played. RE7 leaned back more into survival horror, where it always feels like your resources are tight. As a result, moving from one location to the next felt like an ordeal, especially with previously visited locations evolving to the spreading infection. That is not to say the stress comes from the gameplay, alone. I found the way the infection behaved and the source of infection in RE7 to be quite disturbing. There is that segment that will "squee" at anything out of the ordinary like the "baby part" in RE8 you're referring to, but that stuff doesn't bother me in the least. Things that feed off our primal fears and make our imagination fill in the gaps have always been more scary, to me.
Mia's transformations thru-out the game was brilliantly creepy af.
I read an interview with the devs of re8 saying they toned it down pre-launch because play testers said it was becoming too scary.
This is the equivalent of WB ordering reshoots of DC movies because of test audiences reactions and survey responses. It worked out for Capcom in the end, but the same reasoning was used for Dying Light 2 and it seemed that more people disliked the toning down of the fear factor than those who liked it.
The beginning of RE7 is my least favorite part, to be honest. It starts well enough, but going into the whole Texas Chainsaw Massacre schtick almost made me put the game up permanently. I eventually went back and pushed through it, and the game got much better afterward.
Yeah, I don't understand why the collective internet is jizzing all over the RE4 remake. It just doesn't seem to have the fun factor, if you know what I mean.
I never liked Re4.. I never got what was so special about it.. It just looked brown like poo and ugly....i played the demo and the game still looks brown and ugly...
Shows 15.99 for me.
I wouldn't judge the first person perspective without playing it for yourself, first. It fits perfectly for both games.
It's not so much judging that it is bad way to play the game, more like a very problematic way to play it for me personally. First person games have the highest probability of causing me nausea and the main reason I am very hesitant to even buy them. It happens in third person games also but very rarely and usually only after 3+ hours of continuous play. FP games on the other hand, if it's a bad one, within 10 minutes I have to stop especially ones that have fixed FOVs that are like around 60 degrees that you can't change like IIRC something like the first Sniper Ghost Warrior or Turok. That's why RE7's move to FP mode basically made me disregard the title for so long.
