Answering 3 Big Questions about Resident Evil 7
Twenty years on, and it's hard to say what Resident Evil stands for.
It may have been the series that coined the phrase 'survival horror', but that idea is largely absent from recent instalments. It felt like Resi had lost its way, and identity, focussing more on action and spectacle over suspense and horror.
Resident Evil 7, thankfully, suffers from none of those anxieties. It’s a confident statement of what Resident Evil looks like today – and that’s an intense survival horror experience, with mystery and exploration at its core. And while it may look very different from the rest of the series – shifting setting and perspective – RE7 in fact feels much closer to the 1996 original than any other game in the series.
Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards Is First Man to Play Video Game in Vertical Wind Tunnel
Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards has a new place in the record books as the first person to successfully play a video game in a vertical wind tunnel.
The game in question was Ubisoft's Steep, and the challenge had been arranged by the publisher to "test extreme winter sports fans" by asking them to "play whilst balancing themselves in mid-air".
Edwards rose to fame in the eighties as a Olympic ski-jumper, during which he bested the world record and became Britain's first representative in the sport since 1929. He made headlines earlier this year for being the eponymous subject of a film, Eddie the Eagle, starring Hugh Jackman.
“I couldn’t wait to give it go," said Edwards. "I love a challenge but this was unlike anything that I’d ever tried before. As soon as I started playing, I was determined to glide past that finishing line.”
