This game is gonna be so good. I wish they'd kept the title Psycho Break for NA though, Evil Within is so generic.
When is it coming out? On a side note it's interesting Sony doesn't seem to have any Japan-centric games ready for the homeland launch.

SMH @ Andy claiming to be a Mikami fan when he hasn't played the fuck out of Vanquish though
Everyone is calling this a POS in the recent round of previews. :japancry
bu bu bu if the main character can't talk how will this have the same feels as Bioshock Infinite and Walking Dead?I'm not saying the game may not be fucked up but that quote is exactly why video game "journalism" is the biggest farce going. Wanna be fucking film critics.
Story. It's all about story. I can tolerate games that don't have great gameplay, as long as the story and aesthetic reel me in. Sadly, the opposite isn't true. Obviously the perfect video game will have both, but I've always felt relatable, well-written characters can more than make up for a number of other deficits.
QuoteSMH @ Andy claiming to be a Mikami fan when he hasn't played the fuck out of Vanquish though
I think this is a little unfair given he named vanquish in his top 5 games of all time once - means it trumped a whole cart load of Nintendo stuff and that's without even playing it! Yeah! I know ! A top 5 game you love buy you never played? SOUNDS CRRRAZZZZYYY!
I am sure this has nothing to do with any announced 3rd party exclusives to any nintendo console that maybe remotely connected and just the quality of youtube videoes pimping the game.
So the PAX "demo" was a guy behind a curtain playing two areas while 40 of us watched. "Spoilers" I guess but since nobody knows WTF this game is really about, that's kinda debatable.spoiler (click to show/hide)First area was a city all fucked up from like, the biggest earthquake ever. Buildings and shit kept falling around the main dude as he walked by. A cool part I felt was an area the looks like a normal alley but then all of a sudden the right wall pushes forward, then it pushes forward again so it's super tight to scale through. Instant claustrophobia. Otherwise it was kind eh with the dude shooting "zombies" (???) with some pretty meh third person shooter controls. Also, side note, the city looked super modern/futuristic but the main dude was wearing clothes from like the 1800s? And had a lantern and crossbow from like the 1800s?? Well, whatever. Demo ended when the dude came up to some water part and got chomped on some unseen fishy that is probably the first boss from RE4.
Second area was MUCH better I felt. Basically some kind of industrial complex with a Pyramid Head knockoff with a square safe for a head. Safe Head could resurrect himself from any safe lying on the ground in the area, and the effect when he does so is pretty chilling. You see the screen crackle red for a bit, then it goes silent and wait, is that him standing over there? OHSHIT IT FUCKING IS! RUN MOTHAFUCKA! Most of the area was the main dude sealing off rooms with comically-sized round vault doors and stopping some poison mist from spraying out of pipes.
There was absolutely no clue given as to:
- Who this guy was
- Where he was in these two areas
- What he was doing
- Why he was doing it
So most of those in the audience left pretty damn confused. I loved it though (even if I was also just as confused.) Probably not on RE4's level but it should be a pretty damn scary horror game, which the world needs more of these days.[close]
I do feel like the western media isn't going to give this a fair shake. The horror IS kind of all over the place (in Mikami I trust (to ramp up effectively), etc.), and the graphics are, well... kinda shitty. So I see a lot of 7-8/10's. But the game will probably be great if you're looking for chilling atmosphere and horror gameplay done right.

The two areas I saw demoed last year at Quakecon werespoiler (click to show/hide)The hospital/asylum that serves as the first location in the game. The main character arrives with another detective to find the police who arrived earlier are all missing or dead. They're soon attacked by some weird guy that can teleport or something, and the main guy wakes up later suspended from the ceiling. He has to get himself down and then avoided by chainsawed by this huge, crazy guy.
The next area was a village in the middle of a forest, which reminded me a lot of the opening area in RE4. The main guy fights off a horde of crazed villagers with various weapons and traps, and then get attacked by some weird monster that climbs up out of a giant pool of blood.[close]
So, yeah, it's kind of hard to tell how it all ties together, but I'm looking forward to seeing how they do it.
I like the shooting gameplay in Shadows of the Damned more than Gears or whatever else is a cover shooter. Game journalism hated the former, so I don't care if they hate this one.Shadow was a pretty good arcadey RE4 like game. In the end, I just think I like over the shoulder games with no cover systems.
At this point I'll take what I can get. This looks like a COOL VIDEO GAME
So who is picking this up?
I am, can't say I've ever been disappointed in a Mikami game.
I am, can't say I've ever been disappointed in a Mikami game.
I haven't. Shadows of the Damned was great.
But like I said, I've got too many games i need to play through, so dropping full price on day one doesn't make sense for me.
I really, really want this to be successful but I don't think that will happen :fbm
I hope we get to see another Destiny-like meltdown on GAF.
I just don't understand why people get excited over Bethesda. With Bungie it was understandable, because Halo. But Bethesda? They've always been shit-tier. I wouldn't put much trust in Mikami either, because that kisama is responsible for a next-gen game that is running at 30 frames per second. Think about that shit.
This doesn't strike me as a (spiritual) sequel to RE4 at all, but we'll see.
Really want this but I know it'll take me half a year to get through it. I fucking love horror films and games but the latter are hell on my nerves. They absolutely drain me. Big part of it is because as far as games go, atmosphere/presentation are more than half the fight for me. So you nail those (which horror stuff tend to go for first) then I'm sold.

RE4 was a long time ago.
And besides, RE4 wasn't perfect. Even when I played it at the time, I was thinking to myself what's up with all these unnecessary cutscenes.
I'm guessing that Mikami yaro went overboard with the cutscenes again, probably even worse. Even Nintendo wasn't immune to this backwards ass industry trend.
This doesn't strike me as a (spiritual) sequel to RE4 at all, but we'll see.
as someone who most likely has mild autism, I can say that I don't think it has anything to do with ruzbehs criminally shitty opinions and general shittiness at literally everything #notallautists
Nevertheless, 30 fps is unacceptable for any next-gen game, no matter the genre or level of action.
It's possible I may have directed some of my disgust of Bethesda towards Mikami-san. Nevertheless, 30 fps is unacceptable for any next-gen game, no matter the genre or level of action.
Yeah it's on my birth certificate.who in the flying fuck cares if a third person action/horror game is 30fps or 60fps.
Anytime there is even the slightest moment of quick action in an otherwise slow moving game, 60 fps would be an enormous improvement. Period. People make it seem like going 60 fps is a huge graphics sacrifice and that's just not the motherfucking case. Super Mario Galaxy is 60 fps on ancient hardware and looks amazing. PS4/X1 are TWO FULL GENERATIONS AHEAD of the Wii. Seems a bit odd to settle for 30 fps.
It's true 30 fps is not as big as an improvement over 60 fps in a slow moving game than in a fast moving game, but an improvement is an improvement. Why are you against progress, Zephyrfate? If that is indeed your real name.
Or maaaaaaaybe... Ruzbeh is just a special fellow. Just saying.
I wonder if this game's environments will be as diverse. I remember Game Informer noting RE4 had some different areas from the wooded area/abandoned houses that dominated the game's coverage before it came out, and seeing them firsthand was pretty fun. The midnight garden, the castle, etc.
First review?
Sounds solid to me!
http://www.videogamer.com/reviews/the_evil_within_review.html
It sags considerably in the middle, unable to match Resi 4's superb pacing and letting some rather uninspired environments get in the way.

From what's been shown so far: an urban area with a hospital, an abandoned factory, a rural village, and an old mansion. I don't recall offhand if any more than that has been shown.
There's a satisfaction to combat that feels distinctly Mikami - every encounter is a test, a potential last stand, and it takes true skill to come out alive. Choices have to be made - do you use the various tricks and traps against your enemy, or break them down into ammo for your multi-purpose bow? It's up to you, which makes combat so much fun.Yes!
I still haven't even finished vanquish or shadows of the damned, despite loving what I played of them, because I am a bad person. really should play thru those instead of spending $60 on this, right guys? RIGHT?
But he never said he didn't have the time.What possible reason could you have for not finishing the most amazing three/four game of last gen?
It's bad enough that Bethesda even knows it. Alongside my review copy of the game was a note asking that reviewers play on the Casual difficulty setting, not the standard Survival setting (I went with the standard, by the way). Not only that, but each copy came with a sealed envelope containing advice and obscure tips for every single level of the game.
I'm on chapter 3. This game seems like it feels bad that RE4 let you engage in, you know, action and for the early part of it seems to be giving you a preponderance of, "haw haw, here's this crazy, scary, gross situation that you can't get out of through direct conflict!" Of course, this game does stealth as well as any game ever (read: tolerably at best, but not something you want to base a whole game around) so that sort of thing is wearing thin... and it's still early in the game. I hope that there are opportunities for more action as the game progresses; if not this will NOT be a game I enjoy overall.
The atmosphere is nailed, though. They got that right. Shit is downright creepy from the get go basically.
Graphics- so, this game is not the prettiest thing ever to look at. And my pc is a damn sight more powerful than either of the "next gen" home consoles, so yeah... lighting/shadows etc is done well and contributes to the mood in a positive manner. Pretty much everything else is kind of an eyesore to look at (not a compliment) and the game has pretty bad anti-aliasing issues. (Even though Bethesda just published it, STILL. I mean, STILL. You would swear they were responsible.)
Not sure where this is gonna end up for me overall tbh.

Wow! It comes with a full colored manual. That Bethesda money!
Just hooked up my new PS3 and it's DLing The Evil Within now. Mostly painless process.
Using my Wii U's HDMI cable right now since Sony's too cheap to include one with the system. A lot of the UI text seems weirdly aliased, too. Especially the keyboard.

Just played the intro , pretty cool.Yep, a good old manual complete with character profiles. That was a surprise.
Animations are janky and budget, atmosphere is there.
Cant wait to see more.
Letterboxing is weird, makes it feel more claustrophobic but also annoying.Wow! It comes with a full colored manual. That Bethesda money!
Wut? Where?
I got like 3 pages :/

There's more combat in Chapters 3 and 4, but I think it says a lot that when I had to fight the boss in Chapter 3, my first inclination was to try to trick him into destroying the obstacle that was blocking my progress rather than, you know, try to kill him.
Game is fun but I'm pretty sure my review score is gonna be "I wish I had paid $20 less for this, still worth playing tho"
Forced stealth for the entire first chapter is... bleh. I think I died around 20 times in the first chapter. :lol But I'm also getting used to the Dual Shock for the first time, and I'm on the higher difficulty setting.
How can you even die more then once in chapter 1, smh. (Casual lol)
It's a pretty solid game so far, though I'm playing on the lowest difficulty setting so some of the frustrating things may not really be a factor here. Basically, it reminds me of when I played RE4 back in the day, just without the same level of polish that you got from an established development team with tons of experience working together. I hope it sells well enough for Bethesda to keep bankrolling them.
I didn't notice the keys right away in CH 1, so I probably died a good 10 times too
:fbm
Plus I'm playing via composite because the PS3 uses fucking HDCP encryption meaning I can't stream over HDMI.
Very good to hear. Bottle aiming is not so good since the marker goes through the zombie's head and doesn't stop on them indicating the bottle will hit them.
I also prefer when everything carries over between difficulties and chapter selects like DMC.
Is survivor the hardest mode?
Apparently I fucked up not interacting with something in chapter 3 which brings up keys to collect and use in the mirror place. Ah well, game's great and I'll just be sure to do that on the 2nd playthrough.
There will be some pow pow, himu. There will be.
So I wouldn't shit on pow pow just yet.
You're supposed to use stealth to deal with most of the enemies in chapter 2 since you're still really low on resources (or you could try to lure them through the traps and burn them). The first two chapters are very different from the rest of the game. Once you get the rest of the weapons it starts to place more emphasis on action, though not as much as RE4+. You'll still be low on resources compared to just about any other TPS, but I like having to manage all of my ammo and think about how I should approach each encounter.
Yeah in chapter 2 you're basically supposed to run away. You can take em out too if you want. I don't see how you think you tricked the game.
So far it seems like a tremendous evolution on what was brought to the table in past Mikami horror games. I'm not understanding the disappointment of Chapter 1 and 2 from earlier in this thread as it's the literally the exact thing the game was advertised to be. :bow :rejoice Horror with choices and not just bang bang :piss2 :bow2 Positive, BUY THIS GAME.
so what system should i get this for? does it look noticeably worse on last-gen consoles?
Bebpo this does not have Silent Hill storytelling. The similarities are that they're psychological horror at best.
The closest aspect to Silent Hill is mainly simply the tone and how the game story is absorbed. The game story isn't really people talking and telling you the story like in a resident evil game. It's more about reading stuff and the game hinting at and setting things up.
Personally I really like the approach in Evil within with that stuff. I haven't finished the game yet though so I can't comment on if it falters on that aspect as it reaches the conclusion.
also, story us straight up retardo, read some spoilers and lulz

New update allows for toggling between 30 and 60 FPS and for disable the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
So.... $20 sale or bust?

I would probably pay $40 for it.
Temper your expectations, though- unless you're absolutely shitbonkers, this is no RE4, and has a lot of really dumb design choices, despite what the Himumus of the world may say.

I don't really have any expectations. I'm not expecting RE4. I don't listen to Himu's hyperbole filled posts.
Scratch that- just traded this in ($43!) and picked up Diablo III instead.
Maybe I'll give it another chance when it gets cheap.

I don't know if you'd like it. It's a game that hates you and is meant to feel oppressive and constantly frustrating. It laughs in your face and even the end game statistics show DEATH COUNT: ____ with a smile at how much they made you die and sit through the loading screen.
There's a good game in there, with some great stuff, but it's not a "lets have some fun!" game. I still have a couple of chapters left, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone outside hardcore gamers or survival game fans (where oppressive gaming = fun)
It's really pretty though, and the combat can be damn satisfying. Probably give it like a 7.5/10
There's a good game in there, with some great stuff, but it's not a "lets have some fun!" game.
you ever play siren or amnesia, bebpo? the way himu and you were describing this makes it sound familiar to those games, in that it is extremely tense and will easily punish you with death when you fuck up. I fucking love those games, so I really hope evil within is similar. I'm picking it up regardless whenever it has a price drop.
as does the fact the game is divided into levels that have a stage clear screen. Such an odd choice.
In all fairness that is 10 years ago.
Overall The Evil Within really feels like the game you would expect the guy who made Resident Evil 4 to make after RE4
I played 10 minutes of the intro and was throw back at the fact that a quarter of my TV was dedicated to black bars.
The Evil Within is also available on PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, where you’re stuck with your black bars. Since there’s plenty going on in that blocked off screen real estate, it’s hard to believe the bars aren’t there for performance reasons.:-\
where?
Finally started playing this.
What in the fuck were they thinking with the camera so zoomed in? You can't see shit in this game.
I wish it did'nt run like shit on the PS4. Kind of the reason I haven't played through it.
You sure? Theres a bunch of switches to shoot in that sequence. Check out a YouTube if you're stuck?
Yeah it's basically a chase sequence where you go through half a dozen rooms. Definitely watch a Youtube if you're stuck.
If you're talking about the small furnace room that quickly fills with fire, theres a brown valve switch on the roof you need to shoot. It can be hard to spot.
