The Baker Family Looks Seriously Weird
While I am a little bummed that there don’t seem to be any zombies aside from the mold monsters, the Baker family is extremely interesting. So far, Jack Baker has been the most prominent villain in all of the promotional material we’ve seen for Resident Evil 7. He’s presented as an unrelenting force that never ceases to stalk you in the house, and he certainly evokes some nostalgic Nemesis feels in the sense that you can never quite predict when he’s going to pop out of nowhere and give you a really bad time.
And we haven’t even met the rest of family yet. We know Jack likes stalking you with an axe and superhuman strength, the resident grandma has a penchant for man-eating bugs, but we haven’t really seen what the other family members are capable of just yet. However, the Baker family as a collective unit has certainly done a lot to portray themselves as a very violent and brutal family that players will have to contend with on their own. If handled right, they could very well become some of the most terrifying villains or enemies we’ve seen in the Resident Evil series.
