We recently interviewed Resident Evil 7 director Koushi Nakanishi and producer Masachika Kawata about the upcoming game and the comparisons that have been drawn between the upcoming Capcom release and PT, the demo for Konami's cancelled Silent Hills game released back in 2014.

When asked if they looked at what Konami did with PT, Nakanishi responded that "we were in development before PT was released" and "already well down the road" in their vision. For example, they had already committed on the first person perspective and the setting, they claim, at the time PT came out.

"We were really surprised when PT came along", he added, saying that he thought Konami may be working on a game for VR as well, given the impressions he got from the demo.

The demo of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard may not be entirely like PT, but does share some similarities in how it encourages players to explore the content and search for alternative endings.
