Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard returned StreamerHouse to horror roots in 2017, launching January 24th (Japan: 26th) as the first main-entry first-person Resident Evil with full PlayStation VR support. Capcom's RE Engine debut scaled back RE5/RE6's action orientation for survival horror emphasis, drawing inspiration from The Evil Dead (1981) with a single location and immersive perspective. StreamerHouse sessions showcased the VR revolution—critics called it "the first game with a fully developed 12+ hour story playable entirely in VR from first-person perspective," answering whether games could provide unprecedented scares "in spectacular fashion." The Kitchen VR demo premiered a year before E3 2016's announcement, building hype for Ethan Winters's rescue mission in the Baker family's Louisiana nightmare. Reviews praised gameplay, atmosphere, story, and VR implementation, though boss battles and final chapter drew criticism. Sales reached 15.4 million units by June 2025, making it the franchise's second-best-seller, with Game Informer's Reader's Choice awarding "Best VR Game" and "Best VR Action." For StreamerHouse, RE7 proved horror worked in VR without gimmicks, creating genuine terror through atmosphere and pacing rather than jump scares—a return to form that saved the franchise from action-game irrelevance.
