Previous reports stated that game producer Masachika Kawata and Capcom planning a new demo for "Resident Evil 7" and would like to release it on other gaming formats. Capcom will have the game be a PS VR exclusive throughout 2017 as they will not have any plans to port the sequel to other video game platforms for the time being.
However, there is still a possibility that the game will be available to other VR gear headsets as the exclusivity window of "Resident Evil 7" to the PS VR is only 12 months, and after that gamers will experience it using the Oculus Rift and Vive VR gears soon.
While the exact details of the new demo are unknown, Kawata teased gamers will experience other aspects of "Resident Evil 7". Unfortunately, the sequel will not have any online mode content as he wanted the sequel to have the best horror experience by playing it alone.
There is also new save system changes depend on the difficulty settings of "Resident Evil 7", but there will be auto-saves throughout the gameplay.
Kawata explained that "Resident Evil 7" is a linear experience, meaning not that there is only one way through, rather it takes place in a linear timeline and divided into chapters.
There will also be rooms to act as manual save points in the sequel, but depending on the difficulty settings that the gamers choose, the saving system also varies. If they choose a harder difficulty, the saving system will not be "nice" to them.
"Resident Evil 7" will launch on Jan. 14, 2017 for the PS4, PS VR, Xbox One and PC platforms.
