The thing to the left is from the video Callego posted above, to the right is something that flashes really quickly in the RE7 trailer along with a four above it.

I'm suspicious.

I'm sure they have, but has anyone tried axing the circle? I can't think of a way in which you'd interact with that circle mechanically

 

[AAMARMO]

Found something interesting!!!

Quick video I took to show the axe shadow thing in motion.
Intentional? Glitch? I have no idea. I did a quick run over the whole house and I couldn't find any other times something like this happens so I'm not sure. I might have just missed something.

There also seems to be a cross in the top left corner.

 

[Kazuhira]

You can't drop because the option is grayed/disabled.

I tried with every item.

There is a discard option in the demo, but its not available for use in any scenario anyone has found yet. Seems to be more placeholder.

Oh ok,thanks.

 

[struggler_guts]

just wanting to confirm the photo in the phone room.

I got a trigger click sound after looking at the photo for a while, AFTER I used the phone to get a message when it rang. It allowed me to leave the room without triggering the family man game over screen.

I got out once but he just then got me after I descended the stairs.

Also the wall markings are on the same wall to the right of the phone. Also you can see the outlines of the boards that make up the wall with the O in the shadow so it seems more like a glitch

 

[N.Domixis]

light on phone stopped flashing.

I posted this in the other RE7 thread, but it is kind of related as it's about finding the secrets of the RE7 demo. Someone spotted a BIG HINT that might suggest Resident Evil 7 will come with a demo of REmake 2:

Capcom are going with really interesting clues in this, I will say.

We get a demo if we solve the clues I bet. It will give us a redeem code. Only one person gets to play it.

 

[Ashtrax]

Same here, he then got me on the floor below.

I wonder if there is an office full of people at Capcom thinking "oh shit, the internet is thinking there is something else. Develop something, quick!".

Haha perhaps. Interesting you got caught out on the next floor after leaving. I've made it back to the video room since now trying to look at the stones note to see if there is a click.

 

[TheHolyTurnip]

Had anyone else tried roaming the house after answering the phone call? As long as you go very slowly away from the phone the old man doesn't attack, and continues to not attack as long as you keep moving at a snails pace.

 

[JohnDrake]

light on phone stopped flashing.

I have noticed that too in several streams. In some times it flashes, in others doesn't.

I also don't want to think the symbols on the wall are a glitch.

 

[Boke1879]

Still nothing huh?

 

[How About No]

that's the same wall I dry humped for over an hour last night

Nnf nnf where is it where is it nnf

 

[Callego]

I'm sure they have, but has anyone tried axing the circle? I can't think of a way in which you'd interact with that circle mechanically

I tried and couldn't get any reaction.

All in all, I think the clicking noises are what we should be looking into. I reckon they're like the cries in PT and we need to get all of them, maybe in a specific order.

Game design by Peter Molydeux.

More findings from Reddit:

Morse code has been applied to certain blinks, flashes, drips, sounds, etc. With some interesting results, one of which being a phone number. /u/Kinseb attributed the number's area code to Louisiana.
Another user /u/catface0 changed the time codes on the VHS into coordinates, which also led to Louisiana. People have started looking into events that occurred in Louisian that might match up with the game.

Whoa whoa whoa, that symbol is etched into the back of the shelving in the living room. Top shelf, Left of the hidden passageway.

Is it? It literally flashes in the trailer for a split second. If it is, then it might be worth looking into.

Sweet! Though I'm concerned with how it looks. Maybe we aren't meant to get outside.

 

[Hanmik]

You are forced to be in the kitchen for quite some time in the VHS section. You can't move forward until the big guy is gone. I know you can find the lock pick in that time, but there is still SO much time before you can move on..
Does opening stuff in the kitchen change anything in the future? (besides the unlocked drawer)

 

[Badpsychometry]

I'm sure there has to be an underground facility... Gotta be..

 

[EscapeArtist]

Sweet! Though I'm concerned with how it looks. Maybe we aren't meant to get outside.

This is the first thing I thought, if it looks like that outside I'm assuming you were never meant to go out there.

Sweet, well at least that lets us know that we are not ever supposed to exit the house that way since objects aren't rendered. Finding a secret path out of the house seems like the only solution now, rather than preforming a series of tasks in the right order that allows you to leave.

Maybe after the seven ghost sightings, the ladder will appear back at the basement? Leading to a secret Umbrella facility?

 

[Kinsei]

Sweet! Though I'm concerned with how it looks. Maybe we aren't meant to get outside.

Not via the back door anyway. Or maybe when we really escape it will trigger a CG cutscene.

Ok yeah just saw your stream.
You can still highlight the grayed out options (Load and Retry).
I can see instances where the UI state for those options could remain greyed out, but the input events being enabled temporarily/having different conditional branching depending on certain game states/flags/criteria.

I do not have the demo, but figured I'd toss it out there (its more than likely load/retry are red herrings).

Could be, but i'm quite sure i've heard them when idle too.

It is important to note to the people suggesting there may not be any more to this that Resident Evil 7 is being worked on by one of the PT developers, and the PT solution was meant to take far longer than it did and is very cryptic when you think about it. Someone just stumbled onto it by mistake and we were able to brute force it through trial and error.

PT did require a bit of outside thinking to get the name Jerith, correct? I believe it was a bible passage that the game only hinted at, having previously just given us the letter J. We have references to the bible here too with the dash against the stones note. I know 1137 (the fake company name from PT) and the trees on the loading screen were clues too, i really feel we're going to think outside the box on this one. Its why the Simyplgon company logo on the side of the microwave in game sticks out to me, though i've been shot down for suggesting it.

Yeah. Maybe you trigger something that changes the time of day or something?

 

[SomedayTheFire]

or it loads in when you trigger it. believe

 

[SneakersSO]

Could someone link me to the phone call quotes? There is something about them I want to check out.

 

[Jake2by4]

or it loads in when you trigger it. believe

Nope capcom having them themselves a good o laugh

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Im really starting to believe there is nothing.
Only Kojima creates a carnival of this level and I really doubt Capcom went that far.

I'm starting to think so too.

I'm over here comparing scratches on shelving to symbols in a trailer.

We'll see...

 

[Meesh]

I saw the trailer and would love to try the demo but sadly I don't have a ps4 yet
Anyways, this thing looks dark and terrifying as fuck, looking forward to reading more impressions.

 

[Diablos]

Demo was not satisfying to say the least.

Although on the other hand the secrets scattered throughout might warrant another playthrough.

 

[RootCause]

Maybe Kinsei's right, there's another way out, or the textures didn't load because they're using a glitch to get outside.

I still think we're missing something with the finger, and axe.

 

[Twookie]

love when the community bands together like this to complete hard puzzles like PT and this game!

now, I haven't actually played the demo myself

Spoiler

i don't have the balls to do so

but what does clicking the touchpad do? could you use that to type out the morse code by any chance?

 

[Kinsei]

Im really starting to believe there is nothing.

Me too. It feels like any developments just add more questions instead of answering anything. I think Capcom is fucking with us.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Those were my thoughts last night to be honest.

 

[jacob armitage]

I don't know, as we've mentioned quite a few times PT was meant to take far longer to solve, and we know from capcom that the demo is a unique portion of the game. I really feel like there is more to this, and like PT's solution required some very outside the box solutions (that we unfortunately found by mistake). Given that one of the PT designers worked on this too, its likely they took precaution to make sure we wouldn't stumble on it the same way.

 

[struggler_guts]

Me too. It feels like any developments just add more questions instead of answering anything. I think Capcom is fucking with us.

But then what's the point of the finger and the axe? And the sequence breaking to get the fuse and the second ending? There is definitely more I can feel it in me bones!

 

[Brohan]

I've found what looks like an up arrow carved into the bookshelf in the room that you start in. Don't know if anyone else has found that yet? Upper right corner i believe. Need to aim your flashlight at it for it to be visible.

 

[tesqui]

You guys think RE2 remake will be in first person like this? I wonder if there using the same engine for both games.

 

[ZAMtendo]

So I've destroyed the three mannequins and I'm roaming the house after answering the phone and fam man doesn't seem to be coming after me. The mannequin in the telephone room respawns even if I destroy it with the axe! It's respawned at least twice now. Now sure if this means anything. Also I've watched the video twice.

One more thing: the options > 'retry' feature is always grayed out...is it only useable if you get caught by fam man?

 

[Piers]

Sweet! Though I'm concerned with how it looks. Maybe we aren't meant to get outside.

I very much doubt you're suppose to.

I was thinking the same thing. Scroll up to post 1118.

shouldn't but who knows.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

That arrow is also on the shelf by the door, so I think it's just an accidental arrow.

 

[Lyte Edge]

I think it will be third person...that way there's something for the people who may not want to play this and/or want something more like the older titles as well.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

That arrow is also on the shelf by the door, so I think it's just an accidental arrow.

Yeah, probably just a repeat texture.


Back to square one!

Edit: maybe there are 7 of them. HA!

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Absolutely not. REmake2 is being made specifically to appease classic fans of RE2.

I could see it powered by the same engine, though it may just be Unreal 4 like Street Fighter was.
