This pinhole vision flashlight is extremely annoying game design. I stopped playing ZombiU because of it. It is unrealistic and designed for cheap jump scares. (I wonder if the Wiimote or gyro sensor would ever let you wield the flashlight around separately from y-axis movement for a game.) It only reminds me of the lack of peripheral vision in games. Sure it accomplishes increased tension, but it also makes your immersion that of a cone head simulator.
Nothing in the demo looks like Resident Evil at all. This is probably the future of first person games where individuality in games felt through an avatar is totally lost for individuality felt through a viewpoint. It makes sense for them to push the franchise into first person for the purpose of increasing immersion but it's a very boring direction and displeasing to me.
Extra: The guy in vhs footage has some grossly skinny arms.
