Morgane Toulemonde / @ Gala _ Morgane Community Manager for Resident Evil at CAPCOM UK
First of all : Congratulations on the release of Resident Evil 7 ! Are you happy with how well the game has been received ?
Thank you very much ! Overall , I ’ m really happy with the reception the community has had to Resident Evil 7 . The feedback has been very positive and people really like the new direction the game has taken . They have also really taken to the new set of characters that you discover along the way .
There was a lot of anticipation for this game from fans and to have them embrace Resident Evil 7 the way they have has been fantastic to see and makes me very happy ! It was so hard to keep everything secret , knowing how great this game was looking and how it still had all the things people love about the Resident Evil series in it . But now that it ’ s out and I can see fans enjoying themselves , the wait was totally worth it .
What ’ s your favourite part of the game ?
My favourite part of the game is definitely the puzzle room that Lucas Baker traps you in . I absolutely love him . From the very moment you are introduced to him in the video he plays for you , right up to having to escape the room , he toys with you in such an evil and twisted way which makes him all the more compelling as a character . Plus , the puzzles themselves are quite tough so you really have to think if you want to escape alive ! You can see more of his evil side in the Banned Footage Volume 2 game “ 21 ”. He ’ s insane !
When did you become the Resident Evil community manager ? What drew you to the job ?
I started at Capcom Europe in April last year . Not long before we unveiled Resident Evil 7 at E3 . I ’ d been made aware of the game on my first day and I was totally blown away ! I was so happy to be part of it .
In all honesty , I was never a huge fan of horror games because I ’ m such a scaredy cat ! When I was 8 , my cousins used to wake me up at night and drag me in front of the TV to watch the first zombie cutscenes that you encounter in the original RE . And of course I had a lot of nightmares because of it !
