Efter att ha spelat som benhårda, puckat macho zombieexperter i Resident Evil-serien i flera år nu är det enligt Capcom dags för ändring. I ett blogginlägg på Capcom Unity berättar producent Masachika Kawata och director Kōshi Nakanish att vi inte kommer spela som någon av seriens många kända superhjälteaktiga huvudpersoner i Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, utan en ny, mer ordinär sådan.
"Just to confirm - it isn't an existing character whose eyes you're seeing through. I think one of the places we got in the series up until now is you're kind of playing these superhero characters. They're fully equipped, powerful people who go into these survival horror situations but they're ready for them. They can take it on."
"To bring the horror experience right to the player, we thought now that you're in first person you'll feel like you're there. You can't be looking through the perspective of a macho, hero character because that's not you at home. Or maybe you are macho, I don't know [laughs]. It's sort of a powerless, ordinary person you're playing as."
"We're not really talking in too much detail about who they are right now, but they're an ordinary person stuck in an extraordinary situation. I think that really brings the horror right to the fore. You wonder if this person you're playing as - or you - will be able to cope with this situation. That's a real feeling of helplessness that helps the horror stand out. If you try the demo that's out on [PlayStation 4] for [PlayStation Plus subscribers], you'll see."
Kommer detta betyda att vi inte kommer få quick time events som låter oss flytta berg med våra bara knytnävar? Tiden får utvisa.
