Sci-Fi Jubilee My YouTube Channel Resident Evil 7 Biohazard
Thank you so much for checking out my YouTube Channel everyone! Well, after a short break from PS4 while I‘ve been busy with reviewing comics, I’ve now started playing Resident Evil 7 Biohazard. I’m a huge fan of the survival horror genre, especially the Resident Evil game series. Resident Evil 7 brings the series bang up to date for this next gen era of gaming. Set after the events of Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil 7 takes place in a remote mansion in modern day rural America. You play as Ethan Winters who has set out to find his missing wife, Mia, after receiving an email from her, and after travelling to the derelict mansion owned by the deranged Baker family you are plunged into the sinister mystery that lurks within in its walls and grounds in this truly disturbing and realistic horror game.
The game is also played from a first-person-perspective, a first for the Resident Evil series, and it also supports the new Playstation VR MODE. I must admit, I was a little hesitant about the FPS format, as I don’t tend to like FPS style games that much, but I have to say the format suits Resident Evil perfectly. Its brilliantly gruesome and frightening, I don’t have the VR headset, but I should imagine it makes the game even more scary!
This video features the start of the game and my initial look around the house. Its dark, scary, atmospheric stuff! I won’t say much about the storyline of the game because I don’t want to spoil it. Suffice to say, its really, really good, and I think Resident Evil 7 is a real return to form for the series. Hope you enjoy!
Resident Evil 7 embodies all the classic elements of the series that we know and love so well, and then some! I’ve had a great time playing it. I’ll keep posting my Resident Evil 7 gameplay videos on my YouTube Channel as I work my way through the game. Please feel free to like, share, and subscribe if you enjoy them, and thanks once again for all your awesome support for Sci-Fi Jubilee and my YouTube Channel!

How lovely that you post this. It is interesting to see how RE evolved after so many years. Can’t say I like it much, but I don’t think gameplay itself has much to do with it. I think what I do not like anymore is the storytelling. I remember I was very attached to the characters, to the point of obsession (RE is one of my fav games, all time), whilst from RE4 upwards I find the storytelling disappointing to say the least.
Thank you. Yes, I agree, gameplay is a very separate issue. The storylines of the later Resident Evil games haven’t been quite as good. I love the first four games in the series, since then the characters haven’t been as well thought out or respected, with 5 & 6. I’ve still found Resident Evil 7 a refreshing improvement on the last two games. They’ve done something very fresh and different with the story and formant, but there are nods to the past too, and familiar aspect of the gameplay are very much the same. Where I think Resident Evil 7 really excels is with its scares and atmospheric setting, there are some real make you jump moment, and that’s not something I’ve experienced with a Resi Evil game in a long time. Cheers for commenting and sharing your views as well 🙂
I’m eventually going to be picking this up as it seems like a return to form of sorts (I actually wasn’t aware of the first person perspective, sounds interesting) for the franchise after the more action-oriented installments.
The original Resi is and always be one of my absolute favourite video games.
I was a bit hesitant because of the 1st person perspective gameplay, but I’ve been really enjoying Resident Evil 7. Its a big step up for the series, this game has made me jump several times! They’ve done something very new and different with Resi Evil 7, but it sill has all those classic elements, and there are lots of scary set-pieces too. I like the original Resident Evil game as well, but I think Resident Evil 2 is still my favourite – loved that game! Hope you enjoy playing Resident Evil 7 as much as I have when you get a chance to play it 🙂
Yeah Resi 2 was pretty groundbreaking, I loved the fact that you could play through two different scenarios as two different characters. Look forward to checking out Resi 7 somewhere down the line!
Think that’s what made Resi Evil 2 so memorable to play, it was brilliant. Hope you enjoy playing Resident Evil 7 as much as I have, its a great game, lots of jumps and scares!
After watching Scary Game Squad and Markiplier play through the game, I agree with you that the game evokes the older games mechanics. Particularly in the puzzles. It feels like Capcom definitely did their research to develop RE7 into something unique.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. I’ve been having a great time playing Resident Evil 7, its a really scary game. There’s lots in the game for longterm Resi fans and newcomers to enjoy. It really captures the tension and make-you-jump moments of the old games.
I know this is a bit off topic, but did you ever play Alien: Isolation from a few years back. I just played through it recently and thought it was really good.
Hi, yes, I did pay most of Alien Isolation on PS3, thought it was quite good, quite challenging in places as well as I remember. They did a good job there of capturing the tone and style of the Alien film in that game.
I liked this game, but the main plot hole (Mia escorting the little girl Evelyn on the boat and then Evelyn being an old lady in the house only a few years later) ruined the story for me.
I enjoyed playing Resident Evil 7 a lot, which I didn’t expect tbh, as I’m not a fan of FPS style games. The point you made it valid, I would argue though that at this point most had guessed that plot twist anyway, but as an overall survival horror game experience Resi Evil 7 is a real return to form for the series after the 5th and 6th games IMOP.
That’s what I’ve heard. (I haven’t played all of them) but I liked it, and it was interesting and scary for sure. I wouldn’t have been able to play it in VR!
I agree, Resident Evil 7 would be even more scary in VR, not sure I’d dare play the game with that either LOL 🙂
