It's going to be very hard to read , or does that not matter?
Here's transparent white font.
Thanks! Might be better for me to go with the transparent white font though. Brain bit is more clashing than I thought it would be.

Only a few more hours until we get more impressions! Having played it, I really like reading what other people think. It's one of those games where everyone probably experiences it differently.

Alright I'm off to target so when I get back it's TEW purchasing time 
Come on son! Absorbing two hits to the face aint no sponge. And these are undead monsters. Regular village folk in re4 would take multiple hits to the face too. No one complained about it.
Pistol probably isnt upgraded also.

We have very decent youtube footage of the PC version. It looks like it runs well.
The general sentiment is that if your PC ran Wolfenstein well then it should handle this no problem. Since both run on idTech5.

2 Headshots and that still keeps coming, Im sure there is an explanation here like the postol is weak non leveled or something because that is dangerously close to being bulletsponge.
I think it's just weak. Been awhile since RE4, but I don't think the villagers went down in 1 or 2 headshots all the time. At least not at first.

I've been replaying RE4 lately and yes headshots with a pistol do NOT indeed kill immediatly. Plus that would be boring imo. Now close range shotgun blast, even at entry level has a higher chance of blowing the head off, but that makes sense now doesn't it. Also is it just me, or does it seem like their is a HUGE variety in The Haunted enemies?

Here is another gif of someone playing on Casual difficulty. Notice both enemies go down in one shot. The enemy in that previous gif might be a slightly stronger type? EDIT: Also what Dusk said below.

Where you have to shoot enemies for headshots and general other weakpoints have extremely small hit boxes in Evil Within, plus Sebastian's aim is a bit unsteady when on lower upgrade levels related to aim, recoil, and the like. You sort of have to shoot them square in the head, or else they'll just loose chunks of their face. Shoot them square in the brain!
Also enemies will keep on coming back to life (though different time frames of when they may come back up, could be immediately or a few minutes later) unless you get a headshot, a stealth kill, or burn the body.

Ok Gaf you win! Can someone "TEW" my avatar please?
Also, can someone make my current avatar and the new one transparent, if that's not too much to ask?

Also those who are hoping shotguns are overpowered will be both happy and disappointed. The shotgun felt fucking awesome in Evil Within, it had the right animations, enemy reaction, oomph and power to it, but it's not a win-all weapon. With a shotgun, I found the spread in Evil Within to be extremely important. The shotgun has a wide spread when you shoot. Hitting them with some of the spread will damage them and may blow some chunks of skin off, but I found didn't usually stun them. You can get a headshot with the shotgun, but you have to basically directly shoot them right in the head super close up to get all the spread right into the skull.
What I found a much more valuable asset with the shotgun was to let them be fairly close (but not too close), and then shoot them in the chest. Get all the shot spread right into that bosom. It'll knock the enemy back down onto the floor with satisfying impact. Now, they'll get right back up in two seconds, but if you're quick and prepared you can quickly run up to them and throw a match so they'll burn (they'll still burn even if getting up as long as you threw the match in time).
Shotgun shells were very limited in the demo, though.

I did this a couple of times. It's super satisfying. And yes, the shotgun in this game feels phenomenal.

I showed some gameplay to my roommate and she got so hyped that she decided to buy a PS4. She likes games and horror stuff, but she thinks it looks awesome enough to buy a new console for. Maybe with some good marketing they can sell this thing. I think it's because it just looks so... no bullshit, it's a horror game. Not an action-sorta-horror-at-times who am I affair but a straight up, fucked up looking game. And with its October release people will be more in the mood for that sort of thing. This is going to be a fantastic Halloween title.
Makes sense, also is not like he unloaded an entire clip tho, I said "dangerously close" but not bulletsponge still
But is funny how with 2 headshots didn't killed it but one to the torse did the job XD
EDIT:
That big ass gif tho, that must be an leveled pistol, notice how the brains goes flying deliciously?
That's what Im talking about baby!!

There are a lot of people psyched u[ for this game here. I'm amazed this game has amassed such a devoted following.
I gotta preorder this soon. I wonder where from. Any special offers being given from Gamestop or Best Buy?

One of the best things about Dead Space. Taking the frustration out after a tough fight.

Speaking of atypical games to buy consoles for: I bought a Xbox 360 back in 07 for Too Human lol (still like that game).
