Though Resident Evil 7's VR mode was never mentioned to be coming to any virtual reality headset other than the PlayStation VR system, fine-print wording on a recent promotional shot could suggest the component may eventually be ported to other VR platforms. Advertisements on Facebook for both Resident Evil 7 VR and Batman: Arkham VR can be seen displaying the note 'exclusive to PlayStation VR for 12 months' causing speculation the horror title may eventually sneak onto other VR platforms like the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive in the future.

Keen-eyed NeoGAF user, Jawmuncher, noticed late last night that the Steam Store page for Capcom's upcoming Resident Evil 7 has already received a system requirements list months ahead of release. While the RAM minimum seems to match the recommended spec, it should be noted that these listings are always subject to change before the game's release - and with that still being months away, it's best nobody gets around to building a new rig just yet.
Those who follow the resident evil series have a lot to be excited about these days. A new trailer for the seventh game has been released as well as updates to the demo, the live action movie is receiving it's sixth and final installment in a few months and now there is a trailer for a new CG movie as well!
Capcom has been making waves with Resident Evil 7 as of late. Easily the most different direction the series has taken in years, the VR enabled and somewhat Silent Hill: P.T. inspired new take on Resident Evil is looking set to inject new scares and fear into Capcom's flagship horror franchises. Though PlayStation 4 users have gotten the most out of the latest updates on the game's progress, Capcom confirmed today that they haven't forgotten about PC and Xbox users and pre-order availability for both platforms are fast approaching.
Invader Studios are mostly known for working on Resident Evil 2 Reborn, which was an unofficial remake that got quite a lot of attention on YouTube, although it was shutdown respectfully after Capcom announced that it was working on an official remake for Resident Evil 2. With development now halted, Invader Studios have been able concentrate on its own game - Daymare: 1998. Satoshi Nakai is on board to help design the monsters, who was also the artist on Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil Code Veronica.
I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what Resident Evil 7 is, but I still don’t really know what it’s about. It’s a big budget take on first-person, indie-style horror, similar to what Silent Hills and its Playable Teaser were planning to offer. But how does it fit into the Resident Evil lore? Who do you play as? Thanks to the ESRB rating, there are a few small answers.
Resident Evil 7 got a surprise announcement at E3 this year, along with an immediate demo showing just how much the new title would depart from series conventions. That demo was all original content, sharing nothing with the proper game, but a new Gamescom trailer is showing off a bit of what to expect from the full release in January.
Resident Evil 7 got a surprise announcement at this year’s E3, along with a PlayStation 4-exclusive teaser demo. The game’s shift to first-person as well as the structure of the demo led to obvious comparisons with the cancelled Silent Hills revival PT. But RE7 producer Masachiki Kawata suggests that such parallels are coincidental.
Resident Evil 7 is a very different game compared to the last few Resident Evil games we’ve seen from Capcom. A first-person horror game is not what we’d expect to see from Capcom, let alone as part of their incredibly successful Resident Evil series. Everyone knows how good the Playable Teaser (P.T)/Silent Hills demo from Kojima Productions was, but that game will never see the light of day. Fortunately, we have Resident Evil 7 to save the day. Despite Resident Evil 5 and 6 being the most successful games in Capcom’s history, the developers have decided to go in a completely different direction. Capcom understand people may have questions, to which they have finally supplied answers to in their most recent blog post.
Unlike Microsoft’s E3 press conference where practically everything had been leaked, Sony managed to keep things under wraps for so long, including the reveal of Resident Evil 7. Technically the reveal of Resident Evil 7 was leaked, depending on whether you believed it or not. Resident Evil 7 looks like it’s going to be more horror focused than the last few Resident Evil games. Believe it or not, Resident Evil games actually used to be quite scary, and it seems Capcom are trying to return to those roots. Did the popularity of P.T convince Capcom that horror was the way to go? We will probably never know, though you have to assume it did considering the amount of buzz the game received.
Capcom recently published their sales report for Street Fighter V. In the report, there’s a section about their upcoming games which may include a potential release window for Resident Evil 7. Here’s the exact section: ”In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Company is scheduled to release… ‘Resident Evil Umbrella Corps’ (for PlayStation 4 and PC) of the ‘Resident Evil’ series, which marked its 20th anniversary in March 2016, as warm up to the full-scale offensive planned for the second half of the year.”
Anyone who has played Resident Evil Code: Veronica will remember this classic level: Umbrella’s Antarctic Base. When Umbrella Corps releases this June, players will have the opportunity to go back to the Antarctic Base once more. The Antarctic Base appears to be a rather large level, spanning across three levels of the fractured facility. In the trailer below you may notice some new weapons being used in this build of Umbrella Corps, they have been added to the game alongside this level.
Last year, it was reported that Capcom’s Resident Evil division would be focusing on VR. Given the gold rush for VR content, that should come as no surprise. According to French Resident Evil fansite Biohazard France, the first such game might just be a title called Resident Evil: Bio Terror.
Resident Evil 2 is one of the most beloved games in the franchise. Resident Evil 6 is very much not. But producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi is taking the mixed feedback on the series’ most recent major entry into consideration for how the RE2 remake should progress.
Marza Animation Planet has announced that it will be releasing a new Resident Evil animated film in 2017, which will star series protagonist Leon S. Kennedy. Not much is known about the film, save for the fact that it's being made in collaboration with Italian motorcycle company Ducati Motor Holding (which the brief press release helpfully notes is "famous and popular for its high-performance and stylish design.")
The squad-based shooter that Capcom has tried to cultivate in the Resident Evil franchise has always been a matter of confusion to most gamers. Operation Raccoon City was certainly not well-received, but they nonetheless try to push this new twist either way. The next entry in the genre, Umbrella Corps, has been pinned down for a Summer release.
Capcom has been on a roll with bringing its Resident Evil franchise classics into a new era of gaming.

Capcom is working on a remake for the video game classic Resident Evil 2, which was originally launched on the PlayStation One in 1998. However, the publisher is promising that the update will be made from the ground up, and it won't be a simple high resolution "remaster" of the game.
Resident Evil 0 was released back in 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube and is considered one of the best entries in the series, and in May of this year, Capcom announced that it would be getting an HD remaster. Today, the publisher released some new screenshots from the game.
