Resident Evil 7 Story Recap

by



It’s been a few years since Resident Evil 7, so with Resident Evil Village is nearly here, let’s recap what went down in the Baker house all those years ago with Ethan and Mia Winters.

Check out our complete Resident Evil timeline explained here: https://youtu.be/QkPgowr-T9g

Resident Evil Village is nearly here, which means big spooky times with Lady Dimitrescu. However, it’s been a few years since Resident Evil 7, and while RE Village isn’t called 8, it’s something of a direct sequel, as it’s the return of 7’s protagonist Ethan Winters. And not to forget series veteran Chris Redfield, who also had a guest appearance at the end of the last installment.

In this video, Kurt Indovina recaps the events of Resident Evil 7, from Ethan’s search for his wife Mia, to escaping the grips of the Baker family, and also, most strangely, its two endings–only one of which is canonical to Resident Evil Village.

Where Resident Evil 7 returned to its more traditional roots of survival horror, Village seems to be taking a lot of inspiration from one of the franchises most iconic installments: Resident Evil 4. Look no further than the addition of a merchant, tetris-like inventory management, and a European-style village to draw comparisons. Still, there are many questions left to be answered: like, what is the importance of Ethan and Mia’s child who has been taken? Why does Chris Redfield suddenly appear to be a villain? And how much alone time will Ethan get to have with Lady Dimitrescu? May 7 couldn’t come soon enough.

  7. RE7 is such a departure form the previous games, but it put the series back on track, ironically. I'm excited for RE8, despite all the lust for tall Vampire lady. I have a feeling Capcom is going to turn all the sex appeal on its head, and make her truly horrifying on a both psychological & physical level. At least, that's my hope since it looks like they're setting up the fans for something subversive.

  21. Another excellent video from GameSpot with of course Kurt Indovina. Dude, you're killing it 🙂 I love the presentation all around and the nice touches of jokes here and there in particular. BTW, looking damn handsome and swanky in that photo 😉

  22. So despite owning the game for years I've never beaten it. why you ask? I have this obsession with playing a game for 4-5 hours. Then not playing it for a while. And when I do play it again, if its been a few weeks I usually restart the game from the beginning, why? I don't know. I know there's no reason to restart the game, I just do. Don't ask my why. I need to be on my strange obsessions or something. Anyways, with Resi 8 coming out on may 7th I guess I should finally beat resi 7, even though I don't think its a direct prequel to 8, it might be idk. I know it has the same main character and Chris Redfield, but other then that I don't know if 8 is a sequel.
