Resident evil 7

At least, not until the Resident Evil 7 E3 demo. I had plenty of experience with Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and PS VR, and I'd never experienced the dreaded 'VR sickness' that ruined these experiences for some of my peers. That is, until I actually played Resident Evil 7 on PlayStation VR. All of my most nightmarish dreams were coming true. What's more, it would be fully playable in virtual reality on the PlayStation 4. Resident Evil, one of my favorite gaming franchises of all time, was back and it looked as terrifying as ever, even as a first-person shooter. However, when the jump scares were done and the title screen appeared, I couldn't help gasping in surprise - and pure joy. Secondly, the trailer showcased a dilapidated, cockroach-filled house that looked like it would fit in a modern horror title like Amnesia or Outlast, rather than Resident Evil's universe of Raccoon City and the Umbrella Corporation.

To begin with, it was a first-person game, when Resident Evil is famously a third-person perspective series. I didn't recognize Resident Evil 7: Biohazard when Capcom revealed it at E3 2016 with a mysterious teaser trailer.
