I imagine they are going to do that around the time they release the new demo.

When Resident Evil 7 releases in January, a Collector's Edition will be available that includes a dummy finger USB drive, as well as a replica of the Baker mansion.
This GameStop-exclusive bundle is priced at $180. In addition to the game itself, the Collector's Edition includes the aforementioned Baker mansion replica, which stands 8-inches tall, and also serves as music box that has LED effects and plays a sample of Aunt Rhody

Some odd segmentation on that finger, looks more like a fat worm or maggot this way.
EDIT: Also premium packaging would have used real wood or at least properly treated metal. (Like years ago with STALKER, that was a nice little metal box.)
(Hell it looks like a cheap happy-meal but without the carrying handles.)

- Main character is named Ethan, who travels to Dulvey (Louisiana) to look for his missing wife
- RE 7 is not a zombies game anymore. This time is much more focused on psychological horror
- A new type of enemy called "Holoforms"
- They saw 3 different final bosses and really liked them. In one of these boss fights you have to drive a car
- Much more focused on exploration than previous RE games
- Inventory size is limited (e.g. shotgun takes two intentory blocks)
- Manual saving
- You can save as many times as you want, but once you complete the game for the first time, you unlock the "Asylum/Madhouse" difficulty, where saving is limited
- The number of ammo is quite limited, so most of the time you have to run away from enemies. Ethan can also protect himself from enemies attacks by using his arms or by binding down just before he's gonna get hit
- Confirmed weapons so far: knife (first weapon you get access to), handgun, shotgun, magnum, flamethrower and chainsaw
- The members of the Baker family are "bullet sponges", so you will need a huge amount of ammo to kill them. However, they can be stunned after a certain number of shots
- There are A LOT of jumpscares/scary moments
- A certain kind on insect will have a great importance/presence in one section of the game

The psychological bit is surely a mistranslation/misunderstanding/exaggeration. This is still Resident Evil we're talking about - new direction or not.

They should have really not called this RE7.
To me one of the trademarks of the games are zombies. Now that there definately are none, i'm already just thinking meh and will play the game with much lowered expectations.

They didn't say they are gone, they just said they are not the main focus of this game.
Also it's not like zombies where the main focus in the last few games either, we had a lot of weird mutations and other shit none of them where even remotely close to traditional zombies.
Hmm... What I really liked about re series is cheese and atmosphere... somehow both at the same time. And that special style of writing in all old capcom games while exploring.
I dont want outlast

The visceral(tm) direction intrigues me, a-la Redneck Alien Evilation, though I suspect that there might be indeed many scripted events to enhance the booo! factor for the VR, and that would cheapen the experience which is no bueno
They've released some new footage as well ("gameplay"), it doesn't clarify much though:
The article also says they are aiming for a B-movie style, unlike the Hollywood style of the previous games.

Second round of info:
- Ethan wears a watch called "codec", where you can check your health and works as main game interface
- Throughout the game we will find "cages" containing new weapons, health/weapons upgrades, etc. In order to open them, we'll have to collect coins that can be found in different scenarios (they seem to be hidden and difficult to find)
- There'll be a lot of locked doors first time we get into the Baker's house. To open them, we need to find specific keys or single-use lockpicks
- Items boxes are back
- Ethan is not particularly fast (his movement seems to be quite slow), so we have to pay attention to our environment for any enemy signal to start running away as soon as possible
- "Holoforms" are quite similar to Hunters, but slower. To kill them, we'll have to dismember them
- We'll have the option to use "psychostimulants" to find hidden items. However, they are completely optional and their duration is limited
- Puzzles will have a great presence again. However, the ones that they witnessed were quite simple (e.g. rotate an item in front of a source of light to generate a silhouette)
- We'll never see Ethan's face
- The world is filled with collectible VHS tapes that contain different "mini-games". For instance, they found one where Mia has to hide from Marguerite, and if the later finds her, you have to start over again. These tapes bring new mechanics to the table, as well as new story bits
- There are different collectibles besides VSH tapes. In the build they played, the menu indicated the presence of 32 documents, 18 old coins (currency to buy new upgrades) and 20 figures called "Mr. Everywhere", which function is unknown.
- The game seems to be in the final stages of development, as they played a build including Spanish localization
Quote:
Third and final (short) round:
- Technically speaking, the game is not a masterpiece, but the graphics hold really well. The technical aspect they liked the most was the lighting effects
- The presence of HDR is the only technical detail confirmed so far
- There are constant references to the original Resident Evil
Quote:
Heads-up, just a few more tidbits of info:
-The Spanish magazine played the first three hours of RE7, all the screens and info we have from this are from the first three hours of the game.
-The last name of Ethan and Mia is Winters, so Ethan Winters and Mia Winters.
-The beginning area of the game is set at the Baker Plantation and 'around it'. Some 'around' locations include a trailer and a greenhouse.
-They say those who expect this to not feel like Resident Evil will probably be pleasently surprised, it oozes with charm of the series and has a number of moments that may make old-time fans nostalgic.
-Bugs have a big presence in a certain segment of the game involving the knife, they tease.
-The keys of the Baker Family Estate are animal shaped and themed. Lots of going through previous areas and unlocking new areas.
-Apparently references to all entries of the series is huge, there's nods to everything from the original to RE6. You might be surprised how clever some of them are, and the magazine says while they can't say what they are, some of them are glorious.
-There is a section where you need a crank to work a bridge.
-Apparently saving at cassettes is manual or Normal difficulty up, EXCEPT for boss fights where they give you a a auto-save when they show up on Normal (but not Madhouse difficulty).
-Game is said to be around 14-16 hours long.
-Mention that the old woman Camille will sometimes be heard o you see her shadow coming towards you, you turn around and there's nothing there.

--The Holoforms will be hunter-esque creature but way much slower than them (Possible considering a tier2 level enemy compared to normal zombies without any relation to actual hunters)...Whats more interesting is, that to end them we will have to dismember them. Guns will most likely have no effect on them at all. Hence may be the main reason of why we have flamethrowers, dynamites, grenades and chainsaw.

--Door picture one was kinda confusing, but I assume someone is baiting Ethan to get closer via lantern and unfortunately he needs to go in there to progress further.
"The idea is that humans are the most terrifying creatures of all." says the producers on last page with huge letters, which will probably be the main theme of game.
It should be also mentioned that after probably an 12 months later or so, game may be available for HTC Vive and Oculus but its not clear if that's just a guess of writer because I'm yet to see any statement confirmed.

So if there's no Chris, no Jill, no Wesker, no Umbrella, no glowing orange weak spots and no arsenal of weapons, what is there? Genuinely the best Resident Evil experience I've had in a long time, one where I was scared and challenged, surprised by what I uncovered and intrigued to find out more.
It might look different on the surface, but everything that made classic Resident Evil so great, for me, is present in Resident Evil 7 - uniquely weird puzzles, a foreboding atmosphere, a memorable locale and genuinely intimidating enemies. It isn't action horror or horror entertainment - it's real, classic survival horror.
The series is finally done playing catchup to 4. This is the confident re-imagining we should’ve got two sequels ago. All that matters is that it’s here now and it’s terrifying. If the remaining hours are as consistent as the five I got to play, few games in 2017 will come close to touching it, horror or otherwise.
The four or five hours I’ve seen has actually been one of the best things I’ve played this year, riffing the series’ familiar values off the uncertainty of its newer ideas to create something unpredictable and, above all else, interesting.
Resident Evil VII, based on my time with it, already feels bolder and more confident than recent franchise installments. It feels content to let the level design and atmosphere drive the pacing forward. There were no quick-time events during my demo, and explosions were few and far between.
I can't speak to the quality of the entire game. But as someone who has been waiting for the series to find its way back to its horror roots for years now, I'm excited. It feels as if Capcom might finally remember what made the series great to begin with, and finally knows how to mine that legacy without using it as a crutch.

To me it looks the closest to RE than it's been in over 10 years.

Limited inventory, puzzles, backtracking and so on. "A complete 180" is not.

I rest my case.
I don't know how old you are, but for me the original trilogy, is what Resident Evil is/was all about.
And for every number, they are getting farther and farther away from it.
Classic RE is my life. Who do you think you are talking to?

When you enummerate the aspects like limited inventory, ammunition, puzzles etc., it sounds like classic RE, but I just dont feel any of it. It seems closer to RE4 with an Outlast twist to it, but feels nothing like RE1 to me.
Atleast it doesn't feel like that to me from the videos and trailers, maybe playing the full game is a different experience.
