Anyone here excited for this? Evil Within 2 thread I guess

No. First game was banal trash. Fuck off shill.

Yes. It was one of the only nice surprises at E3. I've heard Mikami isn't directing it though, so I hope it will still be good

This is the director

he was in charge of the DLC from the first game.

Nah, first game was garbage, tons of scripted sequences and really boring tedious nonsense. Bad game design isn't scary, and I can't understand how Mikami of all people put something this trite out. I tried hard to like it, but it was too bad.

Of course.
Been playing TEW again and on my first AKUMU play through. It wasn't so hard until now on Chapter 6. I have at least died over 50 times. The first floor ain't so bad but down stairs is just hell.

He seems to be blending both the DLC and the main game's gameplay. It's a good decision.

>>380700594
There's nothing wrong scripted sequences. It's only a problem when it affects the gameplay which it doesn't. Do you just parrot shit /v/ says without any thought?

I might pick up Evil Within if they have it for a decent price during the steam sale. How is the PC port?

>>380699561
He looks gay but the Consequence and Assignment made me far more interested in the story than the main game.

I just hope they cut down on the instant death bullshit. And have some more interesting bosses to fight.

>>380701152
>It's only a problem when it affects the gameplay which it doesn't.
Yeah there is, especially in a horror game since it removes all tension and all feeling of agency.
>>380701152
>Do you just parrot shit /v/ says without any thought?
No, that would be you, since you saw this retort on /v/ and just parrot the fuck out of it whenever someone smarter than you states their opinion on something and you have no argument.

Switch edition?

>>380701374
>Yeah there is, especially in a horror game since it removes all tension and all feeling of agency
Pls list one time in the game where it does this and makes you lose "tension" during gameplay.
>No, that would be you, since you saw this retort on /v/ and just parrot the fuck out of it whenever someone smarter than you states their opinion on something and you have no argument.
Nigga are you really doing the whole," I'm smarter than you and that means I invalidate your argument" bit? You need to be an adult to post on 4chan, dude.

Just use flash bolts. Chpt 6 on AKUMU is a piece of cake with those.

>>380702062
>Pls list one time in the game where it does this and makes you lose "tension" during gameplay.
The entire fucking opening.

>wah wah are you really
Says the retard who just went with "uh, I have no argument, so you didn't actually state anything, you're just parroting!" You projecting about age isn't helping matters either since you'd have to be 13 to like Evil Within.

i hope they fix stuff, the first game had some serious flaws, how about not making everything a dream sequence for once? At one point you stop caring because nothing makes sense anyway

>>380702446
>how about not making everything a dream sequence for once
They already confirmed it's all a dream again.

>>380702324
>The entire fucking opening.
You mean the tutorial? Seriously if that's all you got, you're shitposting needs work.
>, I have no argument, so you didn't actually state anything, you're just parroting!"
Noting you said was an actually complaint. Let's look back
>>380700594
>Nah, first game was garbage
This is an opinion.
>tons of scripted sequences
This is not a problem if it doesn't affect the gameplay. It's like complaining about long cutscenes or some shit.
> really boring tedious nonsense.
This is a subjective opinion again.
> Bad game design isn't scary
So is this.
The only thing you actually said that was a complaint with weight was the "scripted sequences", which you have yet to prove is something that actually weights down the gameplay in someway.

What did people like about the first one? I borrowed it from someone and only played the Prologue and then got bored in the first level (the forest). It was super tedious trying to sneak through such a boring environment.

>>380702892
>Noting you said was an actually complaint
Except all the things you listed, and your first retort is meaningless and your second was a lie that was disproven, I'm done reading your retardation and giving you (You)s. I say I hope you're payed for writing this nonsense, but I'd imagine you'd be better about it, and also not waste your time in a place like this where people will either get the better of you like I did or just shitpost at you.

>>380702480
so they learned nothing from the first game? I'm fine with one or two dream sequences inside a game's story, but when the whole thing is a fever dream, it is hard to care at all about anything

If they can make a whole game out of the experience of the first few chapters of the first game, I'll be very happy with it.

>>380701171

Don't sneak then. Outside the Tutorial it's not necessary. I actually think the game is pretty crazy when you go confrontational.

guys I'm jumping into akumu after I finish up my current playthrough, any tips?

when I played through chapter 10 again, I realized that if you keep your gun pointed at laura, she'll go into her teleportation animation and will slowly stalk towards you making it easier to dodge her oneshots. Are there any other ways I can exploit boss/enemy ai?

I am.

Considering the quality of the Kidman DLCs I trust him.

>>380699561

kek during e3 interviews, him and some bethesda were so adamant about mikami's involvement, "h-his fingerprints are totes all over it, trust us guys he's involved!!!"

haven't actually tried kidman's dlc yet, carpenter's voice over is so fucking terrible for that character

>>380705141
If you are having trouble just use arrows. Knowing your spacing helps too. If I remember correctly her arm grab has more trouble hitting you if you run to a certain side of the swing.

>>380698661
Does the first one play more like REmake or RE4?

>>380706015

RE4 that tries a little harder to be survival horror, but only a little. I'd rather have it as RE5 than the actual RE5 we got.

>>380706015
RE4. With influences of more classic REs like REmake.

>>380706185
>>380706361
Does it implement the survivor horror elements well?

>>380698661
Yeah I am, I just hope the launch of the game isnt cluttered with performance problems this time. Any word on what engine it is running on?

>>380706493

>>380706429
I don't know how something can be a survival horror game when combat is the focus and your character is incredibly capable

Oh no, a scary monster! I guess I'll have to utilize one of the many weapons on my bad ass, grizzled tough guy character, the horror!

>>380698661
No, but I hope whoever is gets a good game (:

>>380706429
It's action horror like RE4 with more horror tone. RE4 drops it's horror atmosphere pretty fast, TEW keeps it but goes more action and then back to something more creepy again. Some people think it makes the game feel inconsistent but not really and works with the context of the game.

>>380706429

I felt it did well for an action horror game. I thought it put a pretty tight lid on resources, though enemies dropping ammo puts a hamper on that to an extent. At least when they did it was some shit like 3 handgun bullets or a shotgun shell. Even so, I found it fun to look over a room, count the ammo on my person and think of how best to tackle a situation with what I had. Wasn't the same as classic survival horror fare but I think it did well in looking back on those conventions and adapting them into an action horror context.

The trailer they released made me care more about sebastion in 5 minutes than the entirety of TEW1 did.

The trailer has some great imagery too.

Like how Sebastion is submerged in that liquid stuff to enter the mental world, him lying in his daughters bed then falling into the bath full of that goo and all of the fire referencing her being burnt to that is great (also shes all charred up)

Great ending too, with the zombies surrounding him, the crows swirling and him waking up in the white water before willfully going back under was fantastic.

Also I like the box art

optimization was shit, camera placement was shit, might as well have been an FPS

no logical sequence of events, you just hop from world to world with no control of it making it feel disjointed, there was no clear tone or clear flow, the game doesnt know if it wants to be horror or action

in RE4, the game is broken up in 3 main parts, the village, castle, and island, it tries to be little scary during the village sometimes, but after that it goes full action

also story was atrocious, horrible pacing and shit conclusion

>no logical sequence of events, you just hop from world to world with no control of it making it feel disjointed,
Not true about "no local" it's makes total sense in context. Also not having control is the point.
>, there was no clear tone or clear flow, the game doesnt know if it wants to be horror or action
I disagree. I feel like it wants to be both. It's like saying RE4 doesn't know what it wants to be just because the island is more action base and village, dog maze and regenarators are more horror base.
>in RE4, the game is broken up in 3 main parts, the village, castle, and island, it tries to be little scary during the village sometimes, but after that it goes full action
No it still tires being horror too and it's segmented throughout the game. Like in the castle with dog maze or having to play as Ashley. Or the island with reappearances of Regenarators.
>also story was atrocious, horrible pacing and shit conclusion
I disagree. But will admit it was poorly told. The story is there but you have to read notes and listen to tapes to help fill in the blanks that are deliberately not there to make the player not understand. Very much like the Souls series.

>>380711971
I've been replaying the game and I just found the picture yesterday after seeing it in another thread.

Go back to your fucking blog.

I liked the first one enough that i might get this one at launch. I thought the point of Inconsistency in first game was because mind is also a mess and there's no real consistency in delving into someone's insanity. But the "hide and seek" level with Ruvik was the shittiest part of the game.

The Evil Within is unironically one of Mikami's biggest casual filters, it's far from perfect but some of the criticisms of it that I've read are baffling.

is that all fixed now? i heard they did patch it up

>>380698661
I know the first game has problems, but it really got me hooked and I'm eager to see what they'll do with the sequel. It took me three playthroughs and multiple threads to figure out what's actually going on in the game, but finding out the sequence of events was satisfying. Hopefully 2 can expand on Seb's backstory and the organisation behind STEM.

>>380698661
Thsi reminds me that I should buy the first game and actually finish it sometime. Seemed okay.

>>380713156
Except I never had those issues and a lot of other players can back that up. Dude sounds like he doesn't know what he's doing. I'm not claiming it's a perfect game, but it's far from being a shit game. I think the biggest issue I had with the game was the one level where you hop into a turret and mow down undead. Thankfully, that lasted a chapter. I think Mikami is a hack, so I'm glad there's a new director.

>>380714145
He's not wrong about the gunplay having issues, but he did a fucking awful job of explaining it even though it's his job. The first shot should not have spread with any weapon.
