History Trivia / ResidentEvil7Biohazard

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to [[http://www.pcgamer.com/having-your-hand-chopped-off-in-resident-evil-7-was-almost-much-much-worse/ this article]], the creative team decided early on to have something shocking and gruesome happen to the player character near the start of the game to set the tone. One idea that was floated in the pre-development stages was to have Ethan get ''[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe sliced in half]]'' with a chainsaw, and have to crawl to safety dragging his entrails behind him. This was deemed far too extreme, so they went with Ethan losing a hand via chainsaw instead.

* ScheduleSlip: The free DLC ''Not a Hero'' was intended to be released in Spring 2017, but Capcom creators believed due to the reception the game is receiving from fans, they are trying to make it up to the fans' standards and expectations. Understandable, since the game was well-received and they did not want to disappoint them.

* MarketBasedTitle: Defied. The game combines the Western and Japanese titles, ''Resident Evil'' and ''Biohazard'', to allow it to have one title worldwide. [[note]]Although the names do get switched around if you're in Japan or not.[[/note]]

* TeasingCreator: Capcom have been teasing the fanbase ''mercilessly'' in regards to the Dummy Finger, to the point that even official customer support emails have humorous mentions to it. In the final game, [[spoiler:the Dummy Finger reappears as part of Lucas' Birthday puzzle]].

* {{Jossed}}: The multiple theories as to [[spoiler:Redfield's]] real identity were shot down by director Koushi Nakanishi, [[http://www.denofgeek.com/us/games/resident-evil/262931/capcom-dismisses-fan-theory-regarding-resident-evil-7s-ending who confirmed that he is, indeed,]] the same [[spoiler:Chris Redfield]] we know and love.

* TheOtherDarrin: [[spoiler:Chris Redfield is voiced by David Vaughn instead of Creator/RogerCraigSmith. Assuming that ''is'' Chris Redfield. Averted in the Japanese version, where he's voiced by [[Creator/HirokiTochi his usual actor]].]]

* EasterEgg[=/=]ProductPlacement: In a small bit of ShownTheirWork, the tanker breakroom in Mia's flashback has a bottle of Louisiana hot sauce sitting on one table, which is a real, locally-produced brand that's fairly popular in its namesake state.

* PropRecycling: [[invoked]]While [[JustifiedTrope justified]] given how pointless it would be to waste material just on a demo, much of ''Beginning Hour'' is recycled assets, animations and remixed puzzles from the prologue, set in the kitchen, attic and basement of the Bakers' guest house. Even Jack Baker's [[MemeticMutation classic]] "Welcome to the family, son!" [[TalkToTheFist sucker punch]] is recycled from [[spoiler:his cheap shot on Ethan after you "kill" Mia for the final time. Considering that the demo character canonically escapes before Jack can do anything; Jack technically used it the first time after defeating Mia]].
