That's false

PT was released before, but the direction of the game, first person and whatnot, was made in pre production of the game, so before PT's release

If something closer was to be inspired, was Condemned

It is true. Do you remember RE7 demo? Even the idea of such demo was inspired by P.T.

I am not saying whole idea of RE7 is completely based on P.T., a lot of different games and movies inspired RE7 (Blair Witch, Texas Chainsaw, P.T. even the original RE), but Capcom definatly got some ideas from P.T.

Also Jordan Amaro, the level designer of P.T./Silent Hills, was responsible for the creation of Resident Evil 7's design and setting. He denies connection, says he barely worked on P.T., but still, barely or not, he worked on both games and brought the ideas with him.

Have you played any Onimusha games, especially the first one? It's survival horror just like RE, but with different combat and mechanics. There's literally puzzles you need to solve just like in RE games even, there's two characters you can play just like in RE and so on. The real and true difference is combat, time period and setting. Onimusha is far more than just straight up action game like DMC for example.

Lay off the drugs.

Literally never heard anybody say Onimusha is survival horror.

Not true at all

Also, Kitchen was the first demo, and even back then the game was in full production. Remember that development starts way before the game hits some form of playing capability

If some guy worked on both, ok. Idea mesh. Sometimes happens, but saying that RE7 has inspirations with PT is not the case

Samurai horror. Onimusha 1 featured fixed camera angles and monsters/demons with a responsive action combat system. It's Resident Evil but with Sword.

So you agree. Guy worked on both, idea mesh, This is already insipration. You also bring Kitchen, which is one more proof.

"Remember that development starts way before the game hits some form of playing capability"

P.T. is 2014, RE7 is 2017. 3 years is more than enough to bring some ideas. More than enough.

It was literally RE in Samurai setting.

Its pretty linear but the first one does follow a survival horror structure but it's more fantastical and less grounded than RE. Swords that shoot out lightning aren't exactly matching a shotgun.
