With a shift to a first-person perspective, Resident Evil 7 looks like a vivid reinvention. What else would you expect from a family that built a morgue in the basement? There’s a cascade of offal in the fridge. Inside the home he finds the Bakers, a hick family who live in squalor. Protagonist Ethan Winters arrives at the gates of a derelict house on the edge of a fetid bayou on the trail of his presumed-dead wife, Mia.

Swampy, buzzing Louisiana is the setting for this, the seventh game, which, thanks to the involvement of the Texan writer Richard Pearsey (Spec Ops: The Line 1979 Revolution) takes its cues not from Hammer Horror but from Truman Capote’s harrowing non-fiction novel In Cold Blood and the 1974 slasher film Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Since then both the locale and the locals have changed, from Resident Evil 4’s sojourn to a dejected Spanish forest to the fifth game’s contentious trip to sweltering African townships.

There, behind creaking doors and sliding oak panels, the answer was a grotesque menagerie of ragged zombies, bloody Doberman hounds and terrifying Homeric snakes. Using the knife in combat can be effective with constant circling of the enemy while swinging and blocking or ducking to avoid taking hits.Who lives in a house like this? It’s a question the Japanese horror series Resident Evil has been asking of its players since 1996, when it first locked us inside an aristocratic mansion on the outskirts of Racoon City, somewhere in the American mid-west. In Jack's 55th Birthday, the Knife is in the Item Box in every stage. In Ethan Must Die, the Knife starts in Ethan's inventory at the start of the game and whenever he respawns. In the Nightmare scenario, the Knife can be crafted for 0 Scrap and the 'Melee Upgrade' Skill will affect this weapon. The knife is exceptionally weak and very short ranged making it less than ideal for fighting enemies even when out of ammo.

While in the Boathouse, Ethan will automatically use the Knife to cut the ropes restraining Mia and Zoe even if it is not in the inventory. The player receives the Knife from the Deputy after walking out of the Laundry Room of the Main House and encountering him.Īfter receiving the knife, the player can interact with the tape to make Ethan cut it to access the garage door switch.
