Resident Evil 7: Biohazard cover

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is the first game of the Resident Evil series to switch from 3rd-person to fully 1st-person perspective. A complete refresh of gameplay systems simultaneously propels the survival horror experience to another level. It is as much horror as it is survival, boosting up scare elements and minimizing downright shooting action. The game allows use of Sony's PSVR Headset to play in VR mode.

The Sound of Horror Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard establishes a new benchmark for immersive horror through a sophisticated integration of high-fidelity Foley work, automated technical systems, and unconventional musical composition.

  • The audio team created a library of 10,000 original organic textures and vocalizations, utilizing musique concrète instead of traditional melodic scores to build a hyper-realistic horror atmosphere.
  • Development efficiency was achieved through the proprietary RE Engine and Wwise middleware, which utilized automated audio triggers tied to animation and environmental data to reduce manual implementation labor.
  • The audio system employs dynamic sound propagation that reacts to game geometry and an asynchronous, non-blocking architecture to prevent CPU spikes during gameplay.
