The PlayStation 4 version is playable in using the headset. Plot In 2017, Ethan Winters is drawn to a derelict in Dulvey, by a message from his wife, Mia, who has been presumed dead for three years. He finds Mia imprisoned in the basement of a seemingly abandoned house, but she becomes violent and attacks him, forcing him to kill her.
After receiving a call from a woman named Zoe offering assistance, Ethan is attacked by a revived Mia, who cuts his hand off. Jack, the patriarch of the Baker family, captures Ethan. After Zoe reattaches his hand, Ethan is held captive by Jack, his wife Marguerite, their son Lucas, and an elderly woman who is using a wheelchair and is in a catatonic state. Ethan escapes but is pursued around the house by Jack, who has powerful regenerative abilities. In the basement, Ethan discovers reanimated monsters known as Molded.
Zoe reveals that she is Jack's daughter, and that the family and Mia are infected, but can be cured with a special serum. Ethan makes his way to an old house to retrieve the serum ingredients, kills Marguerite, and has visions of a young girl. Lucas captures Zoe and Mia and forces Ethan to navigate a booby-trapped barn to find them. Ethan chases away Lucas and frees Zoe and Mia. Zoe develops two serum doses, but they are attacked by Jack, now heavily mutated; Ethan kills him using one of the serums.Ethan must choose to cure either Mia or Zoe.
Choosing Zoe leaves Mia heartbroken, despite Ethan's promise to send help. As he and Zoe flee on a boat, Zoe reveals that the Bakers were infected after Mia arrived with a young girl named Eveline when the wreck of a tanker ship washed ashore. Eveline stops their escape by psychically killing Zoe, and Ethan is knocked from the boat by a creature. If Ethan chooses Mia, Zoe gives a bitter farewell to him and Mia. As he and Mia flee on a boat, they come across the crashed tanker, where they are attacked by the creature and knocked from the boat. Mia searches the wrecked ship for Ethan while experiencing visions of Eveline, who refers to Mia as her mother. Eventually, Mia's memory is restored, revealing that she was a covert operative for a corporation that developed Eveline as a.
Mia and agent Alan Droney were to escort Eveline as she was transported aboard the tanker; Eveline escaped containment, killed Alan by infecting him with mold, and sank the ship. She infected Mia in an effort to force her to be her mother. Mia finds Ethan and gives him a vial of Eveline's genetic material.If Ethan cured Mia, she resists Eveline's control long enough to seal Ethan out of the ship; if he cured Zoe, Mia succumbs to Eveline's control and attacks Ethan, forcing him to kill her.
Ethan discovers a hidden laboratory inside an abandoned salt mine. He learns that Eveline is a bio-organic weapon capable of infecting people with a psychotropic mold that gives her control over her victims' minds, resulting in insanity, mutation, and superhuman regenerative abilities. Eveline grew up obsessed with having a family, driving her to infect Mia and the Bakers and lure Ethan. Lucas was immunized against Eveline's control by her creators, The Connections, in exchange for providing observations on her. Using the lab equipment and Eveline's genetic material, Ethan synthesizes a toxin to kill her, and proceeds through tunnels that lead back to the Baker house. He overcomes Eveline's hallucinations, and injects Eveline with the toxin.
She reverts to her other form, the elderly woman in a wheelchair; Eveline has been rapidly aging since escaping. Eveline mutates into a large monster and, aided by the arrival of a military squad led by, Ethan kills her. The squad extracts Ethan (and Mia if she was cured) by helicopter branded with the logo. Not a Hero agent Chris Redfield teams up with the now reformed Umbrella Corporation in order to apprehend Lucas Baker and uncover evidence on the mysterious group that created Eveline, called 'The Connections'. After rescuing Ethan Winters and sending him away on a helicopter, Chris proceeds into Lucas' lab in the salt mine, where he accidentally runs into one of Lucas' traps and has a bomb attached to his left wrist.
Undeterred, Chris continues his pursuit. He tries to rescue several captured Umbrella soldiers, but they are killed by Lucas' traps. Eventually, Lucas decides to activate a timer on Chris' bomb. Chris is forced to freeze the bomb in, disabling it long enough for him to remove it.With the bomb removed, Chris battles his way through more of Lucas' Molded and traps. He then finds his way into a secret Connections research lab, where Lucas had killed all of the Connections researchers and plans to betray the organization. Chris manages to corner and shoot Lucas, which triggers a mutation in his body. Chris battles and eventually kills the mutated Lucas, and also stops him from transferring all of his data on Eveline to the Connections.
With his mission done and Eveline's infection contained, Chris returns to the Umbrella base camp for an urgent call.End of Zoe Following the path in the main game in which Ethan cures Mia instead of Zoe, Zoe wanders into the swamp and is apparently killed by Eveline; however, a pair of Umbrella soldiers find her body and discover she is still alive. They are soon ambushed by Joe Baker, Zoe's uncle. Joe initially believes Umbrella is responsible for Zoe's condition, but a surviving Umbrella soldier claims they have a cure for Zoe stored in a nearby shack. Joe goes to the shack, finding a partial cure, and returns to find the Umbrella soldier killed by a Molded.Joe initially flees with Zoe on a boat to find the Umbrella base but is soon forced to search for the base on foot.
A powerful and seemingly unkillable Molded called the 'Swamp Man' pursues them along the way. Joe and Zoe find the Umbrella base abandoned.
They learn that the cure has been moved to a nearby paddle boat. Joe boards the boat and, after encountering the Swamp Man once again, uncovers a full dose of the cure. The Swamp Man captures Zoe before Joe can administer the cure. Joe gives chase into a heavily infected portion of the swamp and finds Zoe in an abandoned church. Inside, Joe is ambushed by the Swamp Man, who reveals himself to be Jack Baker, Joe's brother. Jack knocks Joe unconscious and throws him into the swamp water to die.Joe eventually washes up near the Baker mansion and finds himself in the midst of a battle between the Molded and Umbrella forces.
He recovers an Umbrella power and enters the mansion, where he successfully kills Jack and administers the cure to Zoe just as Umbrella reinforcements arrive, including Chris Redfield. Chris assures Joe and Zoe that they are there to help, and Zoe is fully cured of her infection. She then receives a phone call from Ethan, and thanks him for keeping his promise to send help for her.Development. Resident Evil 7 debuted the use of the RE Engine in a full-length video game.Following the release of Resident Evil 6, Capcom conducted internal discussions regarding the direction of the next installment. A preliminary version of the game, developed in 2013, featured a more action-oriented gameplay, similar to that of Resident Evil 6.

The decision to make the game first-person was made well before VR was considered; VR development started in October 2015, for which a separate team was created.

While Resident Evil 7 had been in development long before, KI7CHEN was seen as an opportunity to evaluate how the RE Engine and its VR capabilities would be received. As a hint to the demo's relation to Resident Evil 7, the logo of KI7CHEN had the letter 'T' designed so that it resembled a '7', but it went largely unnoticed. In the company's Integrated Report of 2015, the Resident Evil development division of Capcom was stated to focus on creating experiences for the VR market, which included the new VR engine and games for the.The game was directed by Koshi Nakanishi, who previously helmed, leading a development team numbering at about 120 staff.

The game's score was composed by Capcom's lead composer Akiyuki Morimoto, Miwako Chinone, and Satoshi Hori, with additional contributions from and Brian D'Oliveira. Its theme song, an arranged version of the traditional American folk song 'Go Tell Aunt Rhody', was written by and performed.

In 's Reader's Choice Best of 2017 Awards, it came in the lead for 'Best VR Game', receiving the award for 'Best VR Action' in their 2017 Action Game of the Year Awards.' S Zack Furniss felt that the primary accomplishment of Resident Evil 7 concerned its pacing, which was praised as 'masterful'. Furniss' apprehensive expectations of how the story would unfold were subverted to his liking, deeming the result a blend similar to the horror and comedy found in The Evil Dead films.
He found a sense of finality in the combat and lauded it for having produced lasting tension. What held more sway, however, was the priority of survival horror, with the management of limited resources meeting a positive response. Furniss considered the to be 'harrowing' and welcomed the consistent surreality of the game. His playthrough with the PlayStation VR inspired unease, unpredictable and ultimately an 'intuitive' experience. Ray Carsillo of EGMNow favored the atmosphere's constant mood of anxiety, which was partly impacted by the interiors of the main setting.
The was also thought to complement this sense of dread, increasing the level of player involvement. He noted the slow narrative build as the game's most substantial achievement, and likened its efficacy to that of earlier games in the series. Like Furniss, Carsillo expressed appreciation for the pacing, and opined that it brought considerable intrigue, accommodating lengthy play sessions.
Playing with the virtual reality headset was 'even more frightening than doing it normally', according to Carsillo, echoing Furniss' view that it made the game more immersive. Writing for Game Informer, Andrew Reiner commended the 'tense, unsettling, overly gory' atmosphere for providing a competent introduction to Resident Evil 7. The Baker house and the nature of exploring it posed significant interest to him, for together, they would present new aspects regarding the occupants and be enhanced by the first-person perspective. Scott Butterworth at enjoyed the narrative overall, valuing its memorable moments and the thematic consistency of the writing. He was impressed with the reliance of atmosphere as opposed to jump scares to heighten the feeling of danger.
Using the Baker family to multifarious ends of gameplay was complimented as a logical extension of the established world; the interactive VHS tapes were approved of for the same reason, said to serve 'beautifully as both a narrative device and a way to break up Ethan's exhausting mission'. On PlayStation VR, Butterworth mentioned that, in its employment, the element of horror appeared more realistic.Leon Hurley, writing for GamesRadar+, was of the opinion that, while the 'gore and guts' were sparingly effective, a number of his most favorite moments had to do with investigating the 'beautifully designed' Baker house. As for the VR, it was dubbed as a terrifying experience 'where the mildewy atmosphere gets into your soul'. 's Dan Ryckert referred to Resident Evil 7 as the reinvigoration of earlier components in the series while at the same time yielding a fresh outlook with a yet-unrivaled story.
The main antagonists bore substantial weight to Ryckert's cause for worry, and gave way to thrills when prompted to flee them. He viewed the first-person perspective as 'bold', and attributed to the PlayStation VR, an earnest addition to the 'scare factor'. Chloi Rad of endorsed the pervading tone of eeriness in the game, owed entirely to the plantation, which she thought was 'one of the creepiest single settings since the '. Also, she observed that the game world gave off a robust with unwavering exploration.
To her, the Baker family were the most compelling of the characters because of the consequent emotional strain felt in their presence. Andy Kelly at began his review, writing, 'It's a return to the atmospheric, slow-burning horror of the original'. He disagreed with Ryckert's assessment that the first-person was a bold reinvention, instead praising it for being 'classic Resident Evil through and through'. Kelly saw the regular state of vulnerability he was faced within the game as one of its greatest strengths, giving credit to the visuals and audio for adding to the 'rumbling sense of dread'. He considered flashbacks via VHS tapes to be one of his favorite features.
Polygon 's Philip Kollar applauded Resident Evil 7 's return to form, declaring that 'no Resident Evil game since the first has done as good a job as RE7 at making me feel scared and helpless'.Conversely, Furniss observed the boss fight and ending as disappointing. He also cited issues with the PlayStation VR, including the prospect of sacrificing graphics for improved aim and immersion, as the resolution would decrease while in virtual reality. Carsillo disliked the inventory system because its restricted capacity left weaponry and ammunition with the same amount of space as other items critical to story progression. The lack of character development for the protagonist Ethan Winters was disparaged as well, with Reiner stating that the plot suffered flaws of inconsistency from this approach. Also subject to criticism was the required body movements while in seated VR mode, which were described as stomach-churning. Butterworth felt a loss of excitement by the end, blaming the repetition of certain assignments to be carried out. He faulted enemies for exerting less of a threat than was preferred in the given difficulty level.
Unlike with other platforms, Butterworth detected inferior visual performance on the Xbox One with degraded colors and textures. Hurley expressed disapproval of the decision one comes across near the end of the game, calling into question its relevance by arguing that it could be quickly resolved in the event of regret. Rad criticized Resident Evil 7 for its dependence on 'overplayed tropes about rural America' which would eventually resemble a cartoon, and the puzzles were appraised as the sole shortcoming of the setting.
Kollar accused boss battles of interrupting the inherent suspense.The game won the Gold Prize, User's Choice Prizes, and the PlayStation VR Special Award at the PlayStation Awards. It was also nominated for 'Best Setting' in PC Gamer 's 2017 Game of the Year Awards, and won the award for 'Best VR Game' in Destructoid 's Game of the Year Awards 2017. It also won the People's Choice Award for 'Best VR Experience' for which it was a runner-up in IGN 's Best of 2017 Awards; its other nominations were for 'Best Xbox One Game', 'Best PlayStation 4 Game', 'Best Action/Adventure Game', and 'Best Graphics'.

Hello, I have a problem with Resident Evil 7 and I didn’t find any thread talking about it.The game is working fine, even with highest settings.
But after sometime of playing (10-15min), the game freezes for about one minute. The sound continues and then the game comes back, but the subtitles are late since they kind of “catch up” with the video.I stopped playing it after defeating Mia attacking us with a chainsaw (in the very beginning) because I want to fix this before I can continue. The long freeze breaks the immersion.I have a GTX 980, i7 4790K CPU 4.00GHz and PC benchmarking tool said my PC was working perfectly etc.I’ve tried all the fixes I could find so far aka: setting all graphics to low and remove everything, changing resolution, fullscreen, borderless, anti-aliasing all of them, vsync off, AO to SSAO, etc, etc.Still no change.I also tried to remove “Banned” DLC, install the game on SSD drive, run as administrator.I’m a bit desperate here. Any help appreciated.
