Capcom: Enemies in Resident Evil 7 Aren't Just Fodder, They're Almost Always Stronger Than You

Capcom is taking a significant difference with Resident Evil seven: Biohazard, that'south for sure. Dave noticed that again in the new demo he played at Gamescom 2022.

However, just a couple weeks ago producer Masachika Kawata confirmed that combat volition definitely be in the total game as it's a trademark feature of the franchise. Today nosotros got a few more details nearly combat in Resident Evil seven from managing director Kōshi Nakanishi (who besides produced Resident Evil Revelations), via an interview with PC Gamer.

Enemies are not just fodder, easily destroyed or easily stopped. They're almost ever stronger than you, and that kind of adds to the horror chemical element, similar, 'How practice I defeat this thing? How do I get away from it?' [Nosotros've] put a lot of effort into creating that interaction between the player and the enemies.

It would seem like there will be fewer only stronger enemies than in past Resident Evil games. Nakanishi also clarified what is information technology that makes this new entry a truthful Resident Evil title, despite all the changes.

When I start played Resident Evil back in the day, what I thought was really entertaining nigh it was the fact yous took on the role of this character who'south at present famous but you didn't know at the time, like Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine. Yous know there are zombies here, but why are at that place zombies here? Where am I supposed to get? I have no ammo. Am I even going to survive this? Making it through that survival horror experience to me was fun. And and then one of the driving factors of this was to go dorsum to that experience and brand sure that anything that supports that experience from the previous Resident Evils, for example, the inventory, is carried over. Those things that don't back up that experience are left by the wayside.

Resident Evil seven: Biohazard is going to be available for PC, PlayStation iv and Xbox I on January 24th, 2022. The game volition also be fully playable in VR mode for owners of PlayStation VR.
