Cashing in on the PT hype, Capcom teased a massive change in Resident Evil's gameplay and aesthetic with the demo 'Beginning Hour' and soon enough Resident Evil 7 was released and praised as a return to its horror roots.
Much like PT, Capcom's equivalent takes full advantage of the wide first-person perspective to push the gamer directly into the detailed horror environment. Much like with the early fixed camera-angle games, the player anticipates a nasty threat around every corner. In fact, the game does remarkably well to reference puzzles and locations from the very first Resident Evil title.
Despite all its polish, the seventh title continues the trademark lack of subtlety with the big scary monsters and craaazy redneck family.
Whilst I'd take this over most other standard zombie horror games, it remains far from the subtle psychological horror I enjoy in the likes of Silent Hill.
