The Evil Within 2

>>388659490
How about link to the gameplay if you want some discussion going.

Post the link, dipshit. I actually liked the first one.

Post the fucking link or I'm gonna wait for this to 404 and make a proper thread. Dear God if this is the evil within fan base. Get me off this train I'm not having fun anymore.

No black bars is a plus.

RE4 vibes are stronger than in the first one which I like.

They patched the first game a long time ago to allow us to turn them off.

>>388660930
Seems more like Silent Hill to me.

>>388660930
It gives me more RE4 vibes than the first evil within.

>>388660086
basically it the last of us

>>388661235
But functional.

>>388660086
Looks fucking awful, and I'm not talking about the 240p.

>>388661235
Come on now it doesn't seem that bad.

>>388660086
I dunno how I feel about the open world. A lot of what I liked about the first one would be so difficult to pull off in an open world game. Hopefully I'm getting the wrong impression. It could just be massive non linear lvls. Like your in a town instead of going corridor to corridor in a sewwer.

Also a lot of people didn't like it but I liked how the first game kept changing and was unpredictable. First your just running away, Then your sneaking around, Then your fighting off hoards, then it's time to run away again but this time you can fight back if you chose. The story was pretty retarded but who plays games for the story; faggot. As long as context is kept in happy.

>>388661235
So GOTY?

>>388660086
looks scary
I'll buy it and only put 6 hours into it

The gameplay looks repetitive and limited.

WHY DOES EVIL WITHIN NEED OPEN WORLD?
WHY?
AAAAAAAAAA FUCK YOU

>>388662928
dude it's an amalgamation of minds lmao

>>388663106
Because people bitched about it being linear.

Is this a continuation of the first game? I didn't beat it. Is it the same protagonist?

>>388663284
>Is this a continuation of the first game?
Yes, but it doesn't seem entirely direct.
>Is it the same protagonist?
Yes.

I watched a playthrough of the first one and the story went pretty much nowhere.

What the fuck was it even about?

I'm glad it's open world.
The only horror open worlds I know are survival sandboxes. I wish we had that open world Silent Hill or Alan Wake.

>>388663504
So, whats with Tatiana, whats her role in the games? i never understood it.

>>388664021
Cut content that they liked the design of too much to not use, if I remember correctly. She was supposed to be a merchant or something.

Fuck the day stealth was added to horror games

>>388659490
that screenshot looks better visually than the first one. saw a video of it being maxxed and it looked like doodoo brown

>>388661235
The Last of Us played a hell of a lot better than the first Evil Within, so that's a huge plus.

>>388664010
It was like that in the first game.

>"Smells like medicine."

Maybe they are setting up Sebastian to be our first Alzheimer's protagonist.

I think he has amnesia, in the hospital ward hallucination in the 2nd vid he said the keycard seemed familiar - presumably he's in the hospital from the first game.

>>388665963
TEW2 will be trash and you shouldn't get it, BUT I guarantee there will be at least one worthy waifu. It's just that kind of series.

>>388660086
Only watched a few minutes skipping through, but looks like it's running better than the first, so far at least. Though it's kinda hard to tell at 240p. Looks interesting, and seems to get into actual gameplay faster than the first which is nice. Any news on if this demo is getting released to the public at all? Not been following the game that closely.

>>388665651
Cool design but not very horrrish

If you new game+ the original it's revealed Sebastien is the final missing person (from the collectible newspaper reports) throwing the entire plot's reality into doubt.

>>388666215

The 2nd vid is up to 1080p, and is obviously an official demo.

This game's marketing is shit, 43 days left and they haven't released any uncut gameplay

>>388666564
Probably because it's going to be released in a month and a half.

>>388660086
Looks good, but I'm annoyed that you still can't examine scenery and read/hear Seb's thoughts. Hopefully, that Moebius uniform is an unlockable outfit.

I'm not sure I like this new open world aspect. There was nothing wrong with the pacing of the last game

Sebastian got a new voice actor and seems like he doesn't know shit about what he experienced last game

I don't know. I feel like they didn't have to change the essence of the game; just some technical aspects that were lacking at release, while improving what they already had

Still day 1

>>388660850
They did, even last gen.

>open world
>different voice for Seb
>amnesia or some shit plotline
>guy behind the DLC for the first game is doing this

I'm really not hyped for it.

>>388669420
>>388669420
>Open world
thats literally wrong though, its more open, not open world

>>388669420
Outside of the first point you make I agree with you on the whole, since the game is still by chapters and not Open world to my understanding. They are going for a more open approach, presumably like chapters 2- early 4.

I really didn't like the kidman DLCs or what Seb sounding like or was saying in these leaks.

>>388661963
i heard it was massive non linear levels. i dont believe its a big open world. i think a dev was talking about it in a q and a recently.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PowmKN0j78c

this isnt the one i saw but they talk about side missions and side areas but you can stick to one main path and stick to the main story.

>>388659490
Because i still hate the games setting. I want my horror game set in the real world, not some shitty alternate reality where nothing is real and anything change completely from one moment to the next. I hated that shit in Silent Hill 20 fucking years ago and i hate it today even more.

>>388669684
>>388669865
>the game is still by chapters and not Open world to my understanding. They are going for a more open approach, presumably like chapters 2- early 4

Well that's alright then but the other negatives are still enough to render me hypeless.

Why are you cunts saying it's open world? It's still linear but the levels are larger. Confirmed by the devs.

It's hilarious that anon bothered to spoil the story, fake or not, as if anyone gives a fuck about the retarded ass story of Evil Within. After the ridiculous DLCs of 1 I'm not gonna bother buying 2 unless they release a GOTY edition with the DLC included on disc.

I couldn't even defeat the final boss in the first game.

>>388672019
I find it hard to believe that you got past the parking garage boss but couldn't do the last, much easier, boss.

>>388672019
It's a QTE, anon. Come on.

And screens of the weapons/upgrade system?

Really liked the evils laughing monster. The atmosphere and mood seems right.

I can't get over how ridiculous the whole STEM thing is. Why does he even feel surprised when he sees shit like this knowing he's in STEM? Would be so much better if he were in a town controlled by a cult or something.

Here's to hoping the plot won't be convoluted like the first game. For those of us whose gaming experience involves 50/60% narrative and the rest gameplay, this hopefully will be done well.

was that the biggest gripe people had? seems isanely pedantic.
I genuinely don't understand the "too much like re4" complaints either.

>>388674247
That's modern horror for you. Jumpscares, sudden-noise.mp3, REALLY_FUCKING_LOUD_AMBIENT.mp3, spoopy scawy ominous shadows, spastic camera, etc.
It's a massive pile of cliche.

>>388660749
I heard the black bars are going to return in the full release.

>>388674216
Go fuck off back to the past, fixed camera angles are a thing of the past and are shit with current gen

Joseph when?

>>388674664
I was even hesitant to post that because I don't want to seem like a contrarian dickhole but goddamn is it generic horror as fucking hell. I only saw the second video. That cringe worthy little girl singing with while hiding from that monster was just so pathetic. I don't even play indie horror but even they can do horror way better than that silly trash kek. I miss the days of Team Silent.

>>388674917
>m-muh technology
That's not what horror is about.

>>388660086
Looks better than the shitshow that was the first game.
Sebastian sounds surprisingly godawful though.

>>388675030
There is nothing horror inducing about fixed camera angles where you can see everything coming at you,you contrarian faggot.

>>388674247
this. especially gratuitious blood everywhere. so hokey. I wish there were more adventure horror games that didn't try so hard.

>>388659490
my only real problem with the first game was that enemies locked yyou into taking damage if they started an animation near you. you could dodge that shit in RE4.

Also the one hit kill bosses were fucking annoying. Felt like the first got a lot of unnecessary hate. excited for the 2nd.

>>388675030
The best perspective for horror will always and continue to be first-person. Go back to the retirement home Gramps.

Keep romanticizing the past because if Team Silent made the original trilogy today, it would look and run like a lot of the current horror games you shit on. Only benefit it would have above the others is its superior story and sound.

That laughing monster in TEW2 is far scariest than anything from Silent Hill.

anyone here really enjoyed the first game?
I think the buddy moments were the worst of the game.

>>388674917
lol i know right
get a load of this grandpa
everyone knows todays horror is best played in your living room while watching pewds play a horror game with your bros after school
haha get with the times grandpa
haha i mean..come on

>>388675314
I actually have. Played the original Resident Evil and Silent Hills. The only thing that made those games extra scary was my young age playing them you pretentious old faggot. Why do you even bother buying new gems? Just stay in the past where you're clearly the happiest

>>388660086

I hate this new "have the character narrate what's going and tell the player what to do" it's so fucking annoying. Hardly anyone just talks out loud all the damn time.

Worse of all I got a buddy who started watching a lot of twitch and let's plays. Now he literally talks out loud the whole time we play and overeacts to everything. As if we where streaming and had to keep the audience engaged. Play the fucking game and shut up.

>>388675287
>The best perspective for horror will always and continue to be first-person.

I actually agree with this. However I also think fixed or cinematic camera angles are equally good for horror. This TPS shit is not good for horror. Especially not since these games always give the player too many tools and ammunition to fight the monsters. It is fucking stupid.

What I want to see is horror that is merged with some good stealth gameplay but also has combat if you need to do it. Something like Manhunt but 1000 times better of course. Maybe even use classic Splinter Cell as the gameplay template. Until a TPS horror does that it will continue to be much inferior to first person and camera angle horror games.

>>388676089
So you don't want any interaction when you play a game with someone?

>>388675749
What's horror inducing about having a large field of vision compared to a small one where you can't see anything coming at you and always have to be on lookout? Good horror games should be able to induce paranoia. You won't get that or you'll get very little with your fixed angles or 3rd person

>>388660086
looks good

>>388675009
Good ol' Silent Hill that gave you a shit load of ammo right? Where you never truly felt in danger. Miss those days

>>388676274
No just keep it reasonable not like a Ubisoft mutilplayer "demonstration"

If you need the character to say "this is creepy" instead of just being creepy and having enough faith in your audience. It's just a crutch for bad game design.

You didn't have the characters in re1 enter a room and tell you what to think and do.

Ironically the horror for the Evil With DLC was done right.

>>388659490
First game sucks and the PC port is atrocious.
Why would anyone buy the 2nd game?

>>388676869
If it's using Idtech 6, there is a chance we could get Doom-tier performance.

>>388675941
For me Silent Hill has always been about weird disturbing places that are pretty interesting and well done atmosphere. Horror games never managed to replicate this.

clearly a fucking shil.Jesus christ,do fucking shills doesnt even try anymore¿¿¿

>>388675009
>I only saw the second video. That cringe worthy little girl singing with while hiding from that monster was just so pathetic

Thank fuck someone else thought that. When she instantly almost teleported right up to Seb's face I honestly cringed a bit. There's nothing unique going on here and I doubt they're going to try anything with TeW2.

God fucking damnit, these AAA games always have to add shitty monologue for retards. I was sort of interested since I like reality-bending stuff, but this Uncharted-tier crap doesn't make for an interesting game. Bloodborne and Silent Hill are so good when it comes to letting the player experience the world since they don't have the main character saying shit like "Oh wow, pyramid head is in this room! I better avoid his big sword when he swings it at me!"

>>388660086
I don't wanna watch it because Horror games are best played blind.

Does it look to be PROPER survival horror ala Silent Hill/Resident Evil, or is it more bland corridor shooter like 1?

>>388676529
Let's not forget the radio which always told you when an enemy was nearby therefore killing most surprises and making things less scary. Hyuck hyuck, old horror was the best hyuck.

>>388677529
It's a "OOPS I BETTER AVOID THE ENEMY" corridor shooter

I bought first game on both console and pc (there was a reason) and never got myself to properly play that. And honestly i don't really regret it because later i learned that in first hour of the game you can get AGONY CROSSBOW, IS THIS SURVIVAL HORROR OR WHAT and also game ends with stationary machine gun. My friend who have beaten it on release also was pretty dissapointed.
So my question is, why the fuck someone thinks that 2 is gonna be better

>>388677914
To be fair the enemy he's avoiding is a big ass screeching boss and not a regular enemy, but the way he's crouching and hiding behind tall objects like a little bitch is yucky and overused nonetheless. I thought I was watching TLoU when he did that shit.

>>388678202
>uh oh i'm mad as FUCK what do i do

I hate silent hill as a game since the gameplay and puzzles are shiet, but it's so goddamn atmospheric that it sort of makes up for its shortcomings. Since you can just run past most of the enemies the radio isn't really removing that much tension and the same thing goes for ammo I guess.

>>388678328
>later i learned that in first hour of the game you can get AGONY CROSSBOW, IS THIS SURVIVAL HORROR OR WHAT

Fun fact the entire game was meant to be action horror like RE4 but Beth forced in the stealth segments so it could sell to "a larger audience" so those who want more stealth, are defending Beth. And that's just gross.

>>388678809
Ok I can understand hating the gameplay, but fuck you the puzzles are godlike

I actually kek'd at this because it is so true. However I think it would also be hilarious if this happened in the game. I'm guessing they just assume that the people that will buy the game are so dumb they need to be told to avoid the monster.

>>388679207
Why would the character talk to himself like this when trying to avoid a monster? What is funny is he didn't even sound very scared at all. Man this game just seems painful the more I think about it.

>>388680009
The funny thing is that the early footage of the first game had Sebastian sound panicky in the butcher sequence. It wasn't present in the full game.

Reading some of these post shows serious signs of underage/retardation.

Horror does not equal shitting yourself every second. Horror is a theme in which to base your work in. For example Castlevania is horror themed, but not scary (can be atmospheric when it wants to though). When you shift your work to rely solely on scaring someone, it ultimately turns out shit because the person watching/playing gets used to the scares. Then the dev so focused on trying to scare people, forget to make it entertaining or are too scared to make it entertaining in fear of breaking "immersion". Outlast is a great example of this, it's pretty atmospheric and scary for the first 30 min to an hour, then it gets old and you're left with a walking sim where there's nothing much to do. Newer horror films fall victim to this too as they're so focused on trying to scare people, they forget to make the film interesting/entertaining.

Resident Evil and Silent Hill are great horror games because even if you're not shitting yourself 24/7 they are still entertaining either through gameplay, exploration or story, and poor judgement on the players part can lead to some genuinely tense and scary moments. Going back to films, look at the classics: Evil Dead, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th etc. None of these rely on scaring the viewer 100% of the time, often have goofy moments, and over the top violence to make the film fun to watch even if the viewer isn't scared.

Obviously there's more to the horror genre than I've wrote about but that helps my case in saying; Horror does not have to equal scary.

That said, The Evil Within 2 seems to try and force scares on you which is shit. Just let me play the damn game, and let the scares come naturally. If no scares come, at least I'll have fun playing the game.

>>388680443
>Horror does not have to equal scary
While I agree with a lot of what you have written and believe most of it to be true, this one sentence is fucking retarded.

>>388679207
This was the moment that pushed me over the edge while watching. Jesus, imagine getting paid for writing drivel like this.

>>388679893
I don't think it's about gamers being more retarded now than before, they're just so scared that people won't like the game if they get stuck like people new to games do at times. Perhaps their worries are justified and people have less patience now than before, but goddamn if it doesn't make for shitty fucking games.

>>388679207
Are you telling me that, if you encountered a spooky ghost bitch, you wouldn't be saying that to yourself? You'd just be close lipped and have a blank face? Come on now. It's not that odd to hear someone say something to themselves when some shit happens. Just the other day a car almost hit me and I said "That fucking idiot! He needs to learn how to drive!". It's not that uncommon. Even people in the real world do that. Now, if he were to say something about how scared he is or about how angry he is to express emotions, THAT would be bad.

The commentary is something they add in gameplay demos so that viewers understand the thought process behind what's happening on screen. It's stupid. Stop spazzing out about it.

>>388680676
It's a bad way of putting it looking at it. What I meant was to re-iterate that horror doesn't have to focus and being scary all the time. Even then it can just leave the whole thing as creepy or atmospheric and be done with it. If scariness (fear? Dunno how to word this) is a percentage, you don't need it to ever have it reach 100%. Could just leave it at an ambient 30%-50% if that makes any sense.

Would you really fucking say that aloud when something that is out to kill you is in the same damn room?

That's going to be in the full game, anon.

>complaining about the turret segment at the very end
Pay attention to the goddamn story, retard.

>>388681075
That could be his thoughts. Just because it doesn't have a reverb filter butt fucking the vocal recording, doesn't mean that he can't just be thinking that.

>>388680909
The thing that perturbs me is that they're saying it for me. It's truly terrible storytelling.

Changing characters faces and voice actors should be a crime. I'll miss you TEW1 Seb.

>>388681651
Are you retarded? Anyone with half a brain cell could tell he is of Spanish descent just by reading his last name.

>>388681793
Yeah, he looks and sounds better in the first game.

>>388681798
Not that anon, but I thought he was Italian.

>>388681883
Italian words dont usually end with Nos.

>>388681883
They're practically the same thing.

>>388681075
We didn't even see his face, for all we know he said that in his head. Faggots like you are just so keen to criticize that you fail to consider things from different perspectives.

>>388681636
Hey dumbfuck, it's the character's story. He's the one living it. You're just along for the ride. Of course he's going to make commentary just like you would if thrown in a situation like that.

Amazing how piss easy that boss was.

>>388682567
No one complaining about that anon. I'd probably yell "Oh fuck" if some creature came at me with a chainsaw. That's fine

We are bitching about the forced monologue. Why does he have to tell himself to run? why does he announce to himself that its a dead end? The player can obviously see these things for himself. No one goes around stating obvious truths to themselves.

I'm willing to bet we are gonna get a bunch of "ahhh it's dark in here. Better turn on my flash light". "Hmmm looks like a dead end. I wonder if there is anything useful under the bed??"

I hope you don't actually go around doing these things in your everyday life.

Monologues are buttfuck stupid because the player themselves are already making these observations. There's no need to tell it to them again and treat them like a retard who couldn't tell what's going on. Or maybe it's a legit issue with the audience.

>>388683238
>Why does he have to tell himself to run? why does he announce to himself that its a dead end?
Because the game is created for retards that thought Evil Within 1 was too hard

>>388682567
I hope you're baiting but I don't mind expanding upon my thoughts.

Assume you're watching a movie: do you want to hear the main character's inner monologue all the time? It would sort of be like the theatrical cut of Blade Runner.

And as >>388683386 says, it's superfluous and makes the player feel dumb.

>>388683418
The Evil Within 1 had these same moments though. There's literally a part when some debris falls and blocks a path and Sebastian says out loud that it's a dead end. Then Joseph calls you over to meet him by some statues, and this is all happening in cutscene mode where it's showing you where everything is.

>>388683386
>legit issue with the audience.
Post the pictures. You know what they are.
Whether its Arkane talking about how playtesters refused to enter some area because some npc told them to fuck off, Valve making a level more linear and streamlined because some idiot kept making circles, etc.

>>388681793
Turning into a bearded hobo looking bastards is the fate of every ex-cop. Happened to Ethan in Condemned 2, happened to Max Payne in 3.

>>388683238
You are literally nitpicking at the most insignificant things. Contrary to what you believe, people think things like that in their head as simple as they may be. You are only complaining just for the sake of complaining. The fact of the matter is that you're such a primadonna that you'd complain about anything.

>>388683753
We're not watching a movie. This is a video game. Two completely different mediums. Fuck, even games you contrarians consider the epitome of survival horror have moments where the MC talks to themsemlf. James SH2 and especially Heather from SH3. Doubt I'd ever hear you complain about that though. Literally the only place I've ever seen anyone complain about a character making a comment given an unexpected situation is here on /v/. If that makes you feel dumb, then that means you were already a retard to begin with. Speak for yourself and not for others.

Fuck, I can see your former Reddit days so clearly. You saying retarded shit and complaining about the most retarded things resulting in you getting downvoted into oblivion.

>>388685335
Are you being genuine?

>>388685335

T. TeW2 dev.

>>388685335
Since this is a VIDEO, GAME, all the more reason to let the player make the observations themselves and not distract them with unnecessary narration. It's funny how even movies respect that. In fact, this drivel is what you'd find every day in anime where they say 行かなきゃ all the fucking time to indicate they're in a hurry, but that's a medium for retards and you shouldn't copy its narrative techniques.
And there's a difference between "moments" and having the character blabber nonstop the entire time like in the second video.

>>388660086
That run animation looks awful. Is it the same VA as the first game?

>>388681651
When are we going to get some games starring some middle aged burnt out women? THat's like my number one fetish

>>388686087

No.

Please tell me they got rid of the awful filter and zoomed the camera out a bit from Sebastian's back literally all the game needs fixed

>>388675171

Yeah, he sounds almost bored.

Looks good. I can't wait to get the sequel. Looks like it's fixing all my complaints about the first game. The controls look better and tighter. Sebastian can no longer turn towards the camera. The shooting looks like it will feel better. Actual geography so we have a sense of actual progression.

>>388686597
It looks like it'll be like the first game but better, which is good for me. If you don't consider the first game to be scary then obviously this won't make you happy. However, I did. There were some genuine scares.

>>388686784
>If you don't consider the first game to be scary
I couldn't even finish the first one. I have this issue where the more I play a horror game, the more terrified I get. I can only play them for so long.

>>388686885
>legitmately being scared at Evil Within

How? It felt like it did a lot of stuff that we've seen before.

>>388659490
I bought the first one for 5 bucks and it's been sitting on my PS4 home screen for a week. Is it good?

i'm sorry kitty but horror as we knew it in the PS1&2 generations is dead, westerns devs are the main influencers in this genre now, that's why RE7 is inspired by outlast and TEW2 by TLU.

>sandbox stages
>more NPCs for cinematic moments
>side objectives for no reason
>even more fucking bullshit, shallow crafting mechanic tacted on because it's trendy and who cares if it adds nothing
>follow the radar for objectives
>new VA for Seb sucks

About the only praise I can give it right now is the better controls and animations and stamina isn't so ridiculously tight right off the bat. Otherwise I'm not too impressed.

So besides larger levels with optional objectives, are there any other changes to the formula? I enjoyed the first, and if 2 sounds good, I'd rather not watch large chunks of gameplay.

>>388686974
It's kind of fun. It's like RE4 meets Last of Us in the sense that there's plenty of wannabe Ganados to shoot and stealth kill and you can take trap parts to make different types of ammo for your crossbow to trick enemies

i.e. throw a glass bottle in a corner where you have set up a tripmine arrow

>>388687101
You can talk to npcs now and in general there are more cutscenes since its more story focused now

Also there are workbenches similar to TLOU, thats all i think
