We know it&#8217;s a VR-compatible first-person horror game, and have seen a few gameplay pieces, but that&#8217;s about it.<\/p>\n<p>Does it tie into the pre-existing\u00a0Resident Evil world? Do you ever get to use any weapons? And are there even zombies?<\/p>\n<p>The gameplay videos up until now haven&#8217;t suggested so, but the game&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.esrb.org\/ratings\/Synopsis.aspx?Certificate=34575&amp;Title=Resident+Evil+7\" target=\"_blank\">ESRB rating<\/a> <\/strong>has just appeared\u00a0on the Internet and provided us with some insight into the game &#8211; and it looks like Capcom has been playing its\u00a0cards close to its\u00a0chest.<\/p>\n<p>According to the description, players will get to use pistols, shotguns, flamethrowers, explosives and chainsaws &#8220;to kill mutant creatures&#8221;, with the ESRB going into detail on some of the gory sequences depicted during the game&#8217;s cutscenes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As players progress through the story, cutscenes can depict instances of gore and intense acts of violence,&#8221; it says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A character&#8217;s arm dismembered by a chainsaw; a man&#8217;s leg taken off at the knee with a shovel; a character impaled through the face with a shovel. Some areas also depict mutilated corpses with exposed organs\/viscera.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Combat is accompanied by &#8220;realistic gunfire&#8221;, the description adds, along with &#8220;screams of pain&#8221; and &#8220;exaggerated blood-splatter effects&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Looks like we&#8217;ll be getting a much more Resident Evil-ish game than we initially thought, albeit from a new perspective.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the new information provided by the ESRB rating, Capcom showcased some of its tech featured in the next RE instalment, including\u00a0photogrammetry, a practice in which people and objects are photographed from several angles then reproduced digitally as a 3D model.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.neogaf.com\/forum\/showthread.php?t=1270590&amp;page=1\"
