You now explore the world from first-person, and the environments are suitably dark and dingy, recapturing the sense of dread and suspense from the earlier games.<\/p>\n<p>The game&#8217;s demo has already been terrifying gamers who&#8217;ve been brave enough to play it, so we&#8217;re excited to see what kind of chilling scares and first-person combat await in the full game when it releases this week.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Resident Evil 7 biohazard - PlayStation Experience 2016: TAPE-3 &quot;Resident Evil&quot; Trailer | PS4, PSVR\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/viyqPAziAaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Yakuza 0<\/h3>\n<p><strong>24 January 2017 (PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yakuza 0 serves as prequel to the fan-beloved beat-&#8217;em-up\u00a0Yakuza series. It tells the origins stories of series main protagonist Kazuma Kiryu and series antagonist Goro Majima. Each man\u2019s story sees them trying to escape an impossible situation: Kiryu trying to prove his innocence after being framed for murder and Majima trying to escape a benevolent prison.<\/p>\n<p>While a prequel, Yakuza 0 enjoys all the advancements the series has made over the years with engaging combat and a multitude of side quests, activities, and mini games. To help deepen the various combat styles Majima and Kiryu can utilise is an intuitive yet complex upgrade system. The narrative is compelling to be sure, but each characters\u2019 main side activity has its own involved narrative to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Yakuza 0 - Battle Systems Trailer | PS4\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HZtj7D-sVcE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">More game releases this week:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/75670-games-you-can-play-this-week-contract-killing-and-careless-carnage.html\/attachment\/pc-platform-tag-2#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-75676\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-75676\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PC-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Tales of Berseria<br \/>\nResident Evil 7<br \/>\nDays of War Steam Early Access<br \/>\nFor Honor closed beta<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/xbox-one-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60361\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60361\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Xbox-One-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nResident Evil 7<br \/>\nFor Honor closed beta<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/ps4-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60358\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60358\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/PS4-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Yakuza 0<br \/>\nResident Evil 7<br \/>\nTales of Berseria<br \/>\nThe Turing Test<br \/>\nFor Honor closed beta<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Article\u00a0courtesy of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/games\/game-releases-23-jan-2017\/\">MenStuff.co.za<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Now read:\u00a0<\/strong><a title=\"Permalink to How to increase the lifespan of your SSD\" href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/hardware\/114696-how-to-increase-the-lifespan-of-your-ssd.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">How to increase the lifespan of your SSD<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s what games are hitting local stores and online retailers this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":114817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11681,4],"tags":[2184,15397,1853,14630,2139,10045,10065,23893,23813],"class_list":["post-114815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","category-playstation","category-xbox","tag-kingdom-hearts","tag-pc","tag-playstation4","tag-releases","tag-resident-evil","tag-resident-evil-7","tag-xbox-one","tag-yakuza","tag-yakuza-0"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114815"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114815\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":114819,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114815\/revisions\/114819"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
