The Evil Within

(1/3) > >>

TheEvilDog:
For those who haven't heard about it, The Evil Within is the first game from Tango Gamesworks, and the latest game from Shinji Mikami, who is most famously responsible for the Resident Evil series.
Details about the game are a little scarce at the moment, but it seems that the player will take on the role of Detective Sebastian who rushes to a mass murder with his partner and finds a mysterious force waiting for them. What follows after is supposed to take players through fear and madness as they try to determine what is going on.
The trailer, a live action video, was released on the 19th of April and is one of the genuinely scariest trailers I have ever seen. You can check it out here, but be warned, it is somewhat disturbing
Game is due out in 2014.
I'm looking forward to it.

Destructoid has a preview article up on the gameplay that has been shown off, and while the initial trailer didn't do a lot for me, the confirmation that they've got the horror aspect (They're not sure about the survival half of that) nailed down spikes my interest a bit.

TheEvilDog:
I think once they announced that Shinji Mikami was going to be behind, I knew they had the horror down pat.
The only thing that kind of puts me about the game is the apparent Saw elements, mainly because I can't stand torture films.
But still, looking forward to the game.

ackblom12:
If the saw elements are more in the nature of the first film and not the sequels or shit like Hostel, it could work pretty well. I'd still like to see more before I decide if I care much though.

TheEvilDog:
Oddly enough, I've never been a big fan of gore in games. Its not being squeamish, but I've always thought that its not horror that have swimming pools of blood, its disgust, which is something else entirely. Real horror is not what you see, but what you don't see, the quick glimpse, the hidden sound, all that.

But you're right, need to wait and see what else they have lined up for the game.
