Resident Evil 7 for PC will support HDR and 4K, No Cross Saves for Steam
Japanese developer and publisher Capcom has publicized that the PC version of their anticipated Resident Evil 7 game will support up to 4K resolutions and HDR. Naturally HDR will remain dependent on being connected to a compatible TV or panel, whereas high resolution support could provide additional levels of image quality through the use of super sampling on screens that do not support such resolutions natively. It is said that HDR will complement the immersive experience, better enabling the game to deliver overwhelming fear and ultimate horror.
As previously revealed by Capcom, Resident Evil 7 will also support cross saves between the PC and Xbox One versions of the game, however this will only be possible if you purchase it for PC on the Windows Store. Resident Evil 7 is also available on Steam and this version will not support cross saving. Resident Evil 7 will be available for PC on the 25 January, 2017.
The System Requirements are listed below. Note that Minimum targets 1080p/30fps, and Recommended targets 1080p/60fps. We can only speculate at this stage as to what hardware would be required for 4k/30fps or 4k/60fps.

I'm pretty sure people will be able to beat the game in under 6 to 7 hours unless they integrate some sort of open world or daily quest elements that warrants it.
So, Resident Evil not being open world is only a plus in my book. Resident Evil was never about running around doing stupid quests, it was about horror and immersion.
I've done RE5 and tested RE6 on PC, but i wasn't really positive on the future of the franchise...
Edit : I agree with RejZoR, Open World is really a bad orientation for games. It must serve a purpose (like Minecraft), not way of playing.
That a lot of titles use open world as an excuse to skimp on the story is not an inherent flaw of open world titles. A good title is a combination of many factors.
I think it's the worst of the series because of the open world thing was not used at all. There's no story needed for Racing games, so why put an open world ? Because of the hype !
Sure, Open World isn't the thing that make bad games, but very often, it's not well used, and end up in a boring game. That's why I hate when they are trying to put "Open World" in every sentence about the game.
