THE EVIL WITHIN is the real deal! (UK Demo impressions)
- Thread starter symphonask
- Start date
That's a step in the right direction. I feel like I'm missing out for not having picked it up yet, Everybody recommends it, even my closest friends who aren't really into games. Word of mouth is super postitive on this one.
My backlog is too big :/

You're beautiful and everyone loves you.
There's some good news about loading times:
-TGS build load times upon death were reduced compared to earlier showings
-According to GameWatch, the load times are even more reduced in the gold master/review version
-For those still hesitating which version to get: PS4 load times are significantly reduced compared to PS3 (same for X360/XboxOne).
The complete install of 40GB is only possible on PS4/XboxOne compared to the 7GB mandatory install on PS3. Also, bd-drives read more data faster than a dvd
TLDR: if you can't upgrade your PC, next-gen versions are the way to go for the best TEW playthrough. Not only the graphics are improved, but the load times are a lot better

A lot of this game screams RE4.
Not a bad thing like you said.
I wonder if people will dock it for that in reviews.
So they are going forward with those supreme PC requirements.
I'd say it's sensational journo news, you should start a thread about it
No demo coming before or after the game's release.
Pete Hines is a really cool dude for answering that.

Do you think that Mikami will make another horror game after this? Or is he going to make an action game with his team?

I think it depends on how well Evil Within will be received.
Do we know how this game is running on the PS4? I am thinking about getting it on the PS4 instead of PC to play it on my TV. Not gonna do it if it looks/runs like shit though.
Would love to hear the opinions of someone who watched or played it on PS4 because I am trying not to watch any gameplay videos to go in completely fresh.
edit: just saw xpliskin's post, that answers my question I guess.

Supposedly this is going to be the last game Mikami directs. Part of his mission for Tango is to give aspiring young directors a shot.
Yeah, I'll get it for PS4, when I have a PS4. My PC has handled everything admirably so far, but 4GB VRAM sounds a bit steep. PS4 version should be good, though.
Damn, thanks for the heads up.

That's what they claim, although I'm not seeing it yet, personally.
Buy ZombiU and Lone Survivor if you haven't already. Best of the genre in the last couple of years.

Damn that sucks. Never read YouTube comments. Ever.
It looks more like Action Horror I agree. But previews have been saying there isn't a ton of ammo so there's that at least.

Is he from the press?
He's the marketing manager for Bethesda I believe.

Marketing manager for Bethesda, the word "marketing" most likely shivers me more.

Well I hope I will not be disappointed then, 3 weeks and we can test it our selves.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
2000+ posts. The hype is real, GAF.
I'd rather games take inspiration from RE4 than the AAA games they usually do.

Why is "complained" in quotes?
Honestly I feel TEW will be a toned down RE4. With more survival than actual horror.
I don't think it'll reach Remake or recent indie horror games in terms of actual helplessness/dread/horror.
EDIT:
It's pretty obvious, but OK.
As in "I die a lot when I try my own game" or "Playing the game I'm working on is very tense".
I can't draw that, sorry :/
Novum_Veritas

I somehow feel the same from the videos and game play I saw, I hope the horror parts will be decent then. Survival can be also a good thing, it rises the tension.
If it is, I might get it on PC, if not I'll wait until I have a PS4

Yea, if the game honestly doesn't run on 90% of PCs this game is toast.
I say that as someone fully vested in a day one purchase.

This game came out of nowhere for me but it looks to be exactly what we'e been missing. And it looks like it's coming out at the best time with the onslaught of games coming out in November.
Anyone know of any offers or discounts for this game for pre-order? Need something to completely convince me to jump in

PSN has it for 10% off.

Depends on how you take it. If you love horror, then this is amazing news.
I'm super excited they're making something like this, but bullies are bullies.
I might need to go to the mall before it comes out
and get a makeover.

Curious why toned down? I feel the horror aspects already surpass what RE 4 horror was there.(at least from enemy design and locations I've seen so far) But I guess it depends on what exactly your referring to. If I get this before launch, Ill probably shit bricks on film.

Yeah, it's like the ears were cleaned out and a train is screaming down the tunnel. There's no need to belittle the hype we're already trying to establish here.
It is not toast, because if it is great i am sure a lot of people will be buying it on consoles and think its great.
But if the PC version is an absolute mess and doesnt work right on so many machines that people consider high end as of just last year, and even this year, they are going to have a real problem as they have been pre-selling it for a long time now.
There will be people unaware that their 1500-2000$ beefy pcs cant run it and wont know it till release day. It is a necessity at this point they have the proper game settings to allow these people playable framerates in the 25-30 fps region.
