I should really stay out of these threads lol... spoiling myself at this point.

With chainsaws.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the game, but expecting it to be more action-oriented horror, like RE4. Hopefully I'm wrong, and it's more survival horror.

That would be a bit of a relief for me. I want Mikami not shying away from good action mechanics.

 

[Eurocult]

totally guessing here. I was hoping for a March release, but since we haven't heard anything yet, maybe June or August? I doubt they'd want to compete with the heavy hitters in the fall.

From the looks of it, you won't see this game being released in the near future

My money is on fall/winter, the best months to release horror games as well

 

[Ser Goje]

So we should be expecting a Gameplay video soon right? E3 maybe?

October.

The covered wagons seem a little out of time...

 

[Anung]

I need this inside me.

Mikami <3

 

[Nemesis_]

I had no idea that was even on the cards. Is it still the case? Makes me think of Innsmouth from Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, which was an amazing unsettling horror game.

I'd like to see this set in just one claustrophobic location, but I did get vibes at the end of one of the early trailers that the setting might be pretty large, as the guy looks out over an enormous unnatural gorge cutting him off from escape.

Dusk Golem has been doing a fantastic "trace" of all the work done for this game, a lot of the concept art seemed to point to a kind of dilapidated seaside village, and that the team did a lot of research on

insects or something

for the enemy designs.

 

[AuthenticM]

They need to put a release date on this game and start marketing it, or it'll be another Shadows of the Damned.

 

[Hindle]

I can't wait to see the monster variety for this. A big reason why RE 4 still hasn't been matched is the sheer amount of creatures and scenarios the game throws at the gamer.

 

[Nemesis_]

Do we think this will be getting a release before May? I need to start getting the OT together T_T

You... probably have a while

 

[EternalDarko]

Half way between Last of us and 're4. My hype levels are reaching maximum!

Yep, exactly what I thought. Can't wait to see more of the game.

When is this coming out?

 

[Pyrokai]

Does anyone know why Shinji Mikami is working on this at a developer not named Platinum Games? This confuses me a lot. What's the story behind this?

 

[Ahasverus]

He will redeem the industty, again. MikaGod indeed.

I'm sure someone can explain better, but technically Vanquish was developed by his own studio too, contracted by Platinum. They disbanded, he relocated and founded a new one (Tango).

 

[XPE]

Given the scale they are going for in some of those pics I would be surprised if that game comes out in 2014, hope I'm wrong tho

 

[iMorphball]

Awesome. I was ready to believe the game would take place in a single location. These other places look intriguing.

The best part about RE4 was that it had intriguing areas that hadn't really been explored before.

Looking forward to this

 

[FloweryMarston]

The evil within is probably my most anticipated game this year alongside MGSV, and smash and DK, love me some nintendo games.

also, have you guys seen this video?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akDQ7fxXSUg

i laughed so hard when mikami said "that didn't scare me".

 

[zoukka]

lol some of those are straight rips from TLOU.

 

[inm8num2]

Really like the atmosphere in that concept art.

yep, fucking tango gameworks

 

[RustyNails]

Looks very Tlou-ey, and that is a good thing.

 

[Dusk Golem]

The Last of Us comparisons are understandable, but I will point out all concept art here was drawn 2-3 months before TLOU came out.

 

[FloweryMarston]

yeah, and it looks like some of these scenarios are more paranoid visions from sebastian(the protagonist) rather than an apocalyptic setting.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

The Last of Us comparisons are understandable, but I will point out all concept art here was drawn 2-3 months before TLOU came out.

And there wasn't enough material of TLoU to draw inspiration from 2-3 months before release? I mean, I'm totally cool with it, but come on.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Why hate the look? I don't care what it looks like as long as its a great standalone title.

 

[E92 M3]

Would have preferred if the game took place solely in the asylum, but still excited due to the lineage behind this title.

 

[Phreak47]

Oh wow, I didn't notice this in this image until I saw it was labeled "spike trap".

Look above him! Uh oh.

Many of these images are very TLOU-esque, and that can't be a bad thing.

 

[Hindle]

lol some of those are straight rips from TLOU.

The game has been in development for close to 5 years. The concept art is usually drawn first as well, making it impossible for Mikami to be influenced. If anything The Road is a major influence on both games.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Oh hell no, after seeing the artwork and all the different locations i'm even more hyped now.

oh my god, this makes me think.... the death scenes in this game are going to be gnarly

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Give me the brutal death scenes from RE4.

 

[E92 M3]

Oh hell no, after seeing the artwork and all the different locations i'm even more hyped now.

It's just my personal opinion. I respect the artwork, but have always enjoyed the tighter confines that an asylum would bring.

 

[KingK]

How the fuck did I not know about this game until last night? I remember hearing about job postings for "Mikami horror game" like 2 or 3 years ago now that I think about it, but I had no idea it had a name and was announced. This looks incredible. Resident Evil 4 is one of favorite games of all time, top 5 easily. This instantly became my most anticipated game.

 

[mark1982]

I'm definitely glad to see different environments in the concept art.

 

[Phreak47]

It's just my personal opinion. I respect the artwork, but have always enjoyed the tighter confines that an asylum would bring.

I see the ideal balance as 80% confined areas, with the larger sandbox areas sprinkled around to give you brief breaks from the stress.

 

[Azric]

Nice to see some outside locations. Didn't expect that after the trailer. Looks comparable to TLoU in some of those images for sure. That's a good thing duh. Definitely looking to buy this.

 

[Alo81]

Is this coming to PC?

...

Awesome, sold.

 

[HEALTH_DISCO]

Reminds me of Carpenter's "In The Mouth Of Madness"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PFcOeM_Usk

 

[Mona]

Well, now this game has my attention.

 

[Phreak47]

Is this coming to PC?

...

Awesome, sold.

PC and PS4 will be shizzle.

As for my wish for about 20% open areas vs. 80% confined, they could throw in some holy-shit-epic moments in those open areas as well. I wouldn't complain.

2014 is the return of classic SH w/ sparkly new gen bonus. We've got this, Dying Light, and I'm also really looking forward to Alien: Isolation after watching that trailer on Gamersyde.

Love that 1979 retro-future look they're going with. Total SH like the original movie.

That makes me believe there are similar evasion QTEs as in RE4. Hopefully not.

according to jason bergman, senior producer of bethesda, the game will be QTE-free. the evil within twitter page even retweeted that.

Phew! RE4's QTEs were more annoying than usual due to their trial and error method.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Since the games is using mega-textures (can you use id tech 5 without them?) would it use like 40 GB or something?

 

[FloweryMarston]

i never really minded them, but they were never the best part of the game. the trial and error method i always thought it added tension to the game, which was great, but frustrating

 

[javac]

I forget. Is this for next gen systems? Looks interesting.

 

[Melchiah]

I usually don't either, but in RE4 the time limit was far too strict.
