'cause even though it takes a while, it eventually does start to feel like a resident evil game about 3 hours in (the first 3 hours feel like a padded indie horror game with a budget) with large sprawling houses to explore, boss fights in claustrophobic environments, gun battles with stupidly resilient enemies...
and the only thing keeping it from feeling resident evil at the point is the stupid first person view, if this was 3 person, or better yet fixed camera, i'd be all over this shit
I hear the same thing from most people, it will feel like a RE game after awhile, the boss battle are based on luck and ammo are limited, Its hard in a good way.
BUT the 1st person view bothers me so damn much, I am wishing crapcom will make a RE7 3rd person edition. xD
It even has clunky controls to stress you out in dire situations, just like classic RE.
Imo the first person camera doesnt hinder the game in the slightest, its just a more modern take on the fixed camera since I doubt many modern gamers would buy a game with tank controls and fixed cameras only the niche hardcore RE purists.
