This is so weird...

Yeah this is really weird song setting (I thought of those cheery songs akin to Fourth Avenue Cafe for some reason) for RE sequel like this lmao.

Not really weird at all considering this isn't their first collab with Capcom. The tech is really awesome as well and I can't wait to see how well it actually works. 

 

And fuck, it's a new song and it sounds pretty damn good.

they did a bunch of presentations on that photogrammetry technique, good read (with a bunch of mildly unsetting pictures) here

I really like Wing's flap but this song is just meh.
By all accounts I should like this mash-up. I love Resident Evil / Bio Hazard,  like all things L'arc before Kiss and I'm getting into VR development but this song just doesn't seem appropriate for the mood of the project. And not to mention it was probably a shit-ton of development time spent by the capcom people to make this 4 minute VR video. Or rather, how many people from the RE7 development team got pulled aside to work on this thereby distracting from what I hope will be another great game in the RE franchise?

^ it's actually pretty fast, and requires very little artist skill to produce content the way capcom have approached pipeline for REVII

 

idk if they have in house staff working on the PV, or they hired extra cgi artists/marketing team for this.
