also evidently Ethan never found out how bad of a person his wife actually is

Mia's is just a more emotive HUNK. She's a corporate asset, she was paid to do something and she did it. All she was a handler.
If this game wasn't in VR I probably wouldn't care for it at all
But it is so this is a first day buy for me

Damn, thought for sure we would get more today. Unless Capcom drops a random trailer, would have to assume Gamescom
RE7?...
I've always felt RE7 was a mashup of modern or 2000s horror films, RE7 explored more than a single horror-subgenre, which left the game with more than a identity.
This was one of my main things I didn't about the game, and I'm glad RE8 is sticking with one or two themes (I hope so).

It didn't, but as I said on Twitter I should've been more suspicious I hadn't heard anything. I sometimes am not in the know about these things (I don't know Capcom's marketing strategies is something I often say when people ask me for exact dates), but more recently I've gotten more head-ups when things will show a few days in advance.
That said, it truly is a case people won't be waiting long, that much is already known officially, and means people can sit on these details a bit longer.
The two obvious points of reference were Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Evil Dead (and their remakes/sequels). There was that little Saw reference in the birthday segment, but to me it seemed like a pretty pure nod to early slashers and hillbilly horror.
Village seems to be all about gothic horror. Which is cool by itself, but a little disappointing to me because of how much I loved the Baker house and that it was somewhat already explored with 4.
Hopefully Mia isn't actually dead. Even though I am not terribly attached to her, I would still be peeved.
Can confirm pretty much all of this I experienced in the Ambassador playtest with the big exception of the lady merchant, She showed up briefly as a mysterious figure though so they must've fleshed her out in this current demo build. Couldn't combine treasure and there wasn't an upgrade tree either.
The whole Lucas segment is just basically SAW with those traps and mind games. Jack is an obvious one. Eveline is inspired with supernatural horror movies. There are some haunting/ghost elements in the game, especially the video tapes hence Blair Witch Project and it legacy.
Absolutely - but I don't want RE games to be like, maximally scary, haha. None of the old ones were as scary as RE7, unless you were a little kid when you played them.
It's already been leaked you will play as multiple characters.
Really, I didn't know. That''s great. What would be a RE game without switching between different characters and side stories?
I hope Mia's dead, she's part of Umbrella for fuck sake the company known for doing fucked up experiments on innocent people?! Does Raccoon City ring a bell for anyone?
Hate Mia all you want, it is still weak shit to open a game by fridging the protagonist's wife/partner.
Mia dying at the start is a pretty big force for the story. Not to mention one of the few times RE has actually brought back a character and killed them (typically they introduce & kill in the same game).
As of right now with what's known, Mia's death truly does get the story rolling & the secrets surrounding the winters family will be surprising to most players apparently.

Wait is there something in the DLC about this? I thought Umbrella were supposed to be the good guys now and Mia was working for a new evil bioweapon group?
The Umbrella (blue logo) the game presents is a PMC, which had nothing to do with Eveline.
Mia was working for The Connections, which is exactly as you described.
Yeah, that's right. And The Connections worked with Wesker in the past. I hope Village sheds some light on this stuff and brings back the Molded.
Welp, literally any day now we should see our new info. People are noticing that both Capcom and Sony aren't listed for Gamescom. Wonder if Sony has a surprise event this week 🤷‍♂️
