Well so far with the demo, screenshots and gameplay vids, the way I see it, Capcom aren't lying after they said RE 7 would return to survival horror and RE roots. Also remember Dr. Serkan Toto's last minute tweet about
"clean slate" leak/rumor before RE 7 E3 reveal? it was pretty accurate.
Nowadays leaks that turned out to be legit are becoming a common thing especially in the social media and all that, they're pretty fun to read. For instance No Man's Sky was legit leaked, Xbox one slim was all over the internet before the official announcement, now there is already PS4 Slim unboxing video, iPhone 7, etc. So I wouldn't say that the Reddit leak in the previous page is completely hoax, it could be
partially true though but of course I could be wrong, again we'll see. I'm just stoked for this game.
