As a surprise and grand finale, Capcom’s event earlier this week concluded with the release of the next-gen console updates for Resident Evil 7 and the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3. In that sense, today we give you 7 reasons to replay Resident Evil 7 with its next-gen patch, already available on Xbox Series X | S and that offers different graphic configurations so you can adapt the experience to your liking. A horror video game that did not convince many at the time it was announced due to its different approach to the classics of the franchise and that has ended up winning over the vast majority of the fandom.
The beginning of the Ethan Winters story
Unbeknownst to all when RE7 arrived, Ethan Winters has become a beloved character in the Capcom series. His story begins in search of his missing wife Mia and the experiences that he will have to live will make you empathize with him.
A REvolution for the saga
The first-person perspective that put hundreds of fans back so much ended up being a success. The immersion of this point of view added a plus to Resident Evil 7. So much so that the perspective was also inherited by the Village.
classic essence
Despite these substantial changes in the Resident Evil formula, the seventh numbered installment of the saga maintains the essence of the classics. Exploration, small puzzles, backtracking, few enemies, limited ammo. It has everything you are looking for in an RE.
multiple ending
Without going into any more spoilers, Resident Evil 7 has a pivotal decision that paves the way for both of its endings. If you didn’t play both at the time, you may now want to explore the other ending. If you are new to the game, know that you will have to make an important choice.
true terror
Precisely all this sum of elements that we have discussed so far make Resident Evil 7 a truly terrifying experience. Especially in its early stages, it is a game that commands respect and makes you want to be careful and not make any false moves.
characters to remember
The Baker family, Eveline or the aforementioned Ethan and Mia Winters are already Resident Evil history. They may never reach the status of the great emblems of the saga, but it will be difficult to forget the impact they had on a game that arrived with controversy and ended up saving the franchise.
