Despite its popularity, Resident Evil has been a series that has gone through a lot of controversy over the years, with many games dividing its fan base. The most notorious titles were Resident Evil 5 and 6, which invested even more heavily in the action part. With the release of Resident Evil 7, Capcom decided to bring the franchise back to its origins, focusing more on the horror side than on the action. However, it looks like we could have been given a very different game. According to insider Dusk Golem, instead of the new protagonist Ethan, Resident Evil 7 was originally going to be more of an action title similar to Resident Evil 6, but featuring Leon and Sherry as the protagonists of the story. The game would take place in Europe in a fictional city inspired by Venice, Italy:

Dodged a bullet. Looks like shit.

 

[ExcitableBoy]

I think they made the right call!

 

[Fake]

The first picture looks like AC:Black Flag?

 

[hinch7]

Looks bad. The RE 7 we got revitalised the series with a soft reboot.. so good call it was scrapped. After 6, RE was in a bad spot.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Looks like AC Revelations lol

 

[adamsapple]

These are fake.

It would have been better than RE7. First person RE games are the worst of the series.

Not many agree with us, but we're right.

See Grubb!!!! This is how a good 3rd party publisher makes good decisions on their AAA games!!!

Shame it was cancelled, it looks better than RE7.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I would like more some cool Silent Hill stuff

 

[Gp1]

It would be a safe bet for Capcom given that the only good part of Resident Evil 6 is Leon's Story.

I loved RE6 and first person games often make me motion sick (RE7 definitely did).

I'd play it.

Do you get motion sick when you drive? I've never encountered someone with this issue so I'm curious.

Not typically. I used to play first person games quite often with no issues, but this started when I was in my mid 40s. Some games are tolerable, others are vomit-inducing for me regardless of the FOV settings. Typically no issues with third person, isometric, 2D, etc.

Shame we didn’t get BOTH (same with the original plan for 8 that had Chris and Rebecca playing an equal role with Ethan) but it is what it is.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Looks ok. I’m sure it had better enemy ideas than just mud monsters.

 

[kunonabi]

Considering how much work Re6 did to repair Leon and how surprisingly well older Sherry turned out I'd have been down.

And considering RE7 goes to shit fairly early I'm sure I'd have enjoyed this more even if some of RE6's problems had lingered.

There's always one....

Guys.

These are fake.

The first image is literally AC Revelations with Leon cropped over Ezio

I have the same issue. It's mostly due to low FOV and/or not high enough framerate

 

[ACESHIGH]

Thank god for RE7!!! Although I think Gears of Evil is going to make a comeback after RE4Make. I have seen folks asking to remake RE5 ffs... once the kids that started gaming with the 360/PS3 take over as the main demographic, its game over any sense of taste in the medium if not a thing already.

[fart town usa]

Lol, I can't tell who is who. I'm assuming that's Leon in the 2nd photo but why is he wearing Claire's outfit from Revelations 2? Any why does Claire (?) in the first image look like Leon.

Thank god Capcom did a complete 180 from RE6, I legit thought the series was dead when I played RE6 on launch day.

[TheUndeadGamer]

Awwwww I wanted to play as Sherry more.

[Syphon Filter]

re7 was a piece of shit walking simulator that ruined the franchise.

 

[A.Romero]

Why people still pay attention to dusk golem?

 

[Revolutionary]

Daily reminder that Dusk Golem is and has always been full of shit

 

[lh032]
