TEW2

I want to believe.jpg

But realistically it will just be sorta okay. Not very horror, but a decent TPS.

I doubt it will be better than RE7, but I am looking forward to a trippy RE4. I just hope it doesnt have some RE6-tier moments like the original had at times.

RE7 was the true return to survival horror for Japanese gaming.
But I'm sure the TEW2 will be lots of fun.

Sorry bub, story-games are garbage and would be better as short films or short stories. They do nothing to utilize the strengths of the medium and instead try to replicate an experience other forms of media can already do better.

I felt like the first game was a bit too long, it had pacing issues but at least it was a GAME unlike most of the "horror games" we get these days

>>389281626
killed a few things in the woods after driving through an exploding city. honestly considered that maybe the game was playing cutscenes out of order, or maybe it was translated by a toddler. then i just assumed it was being extremely pretentious and felt no motivation to continue.

But stories in videogames are better than movies and books. They can be linear or have branching paths. There's a potential to tell greater stories with videogames, like Nier: Auto. Stop being so close-minded. Movies and books are overrated.

>people are this quick to shut off their brains now

>>389281943
>just assumed it was being extremely pretentious
You barely made it through the tutorial level and you just made assumptions on the story? I can understand quitting for gameplay reasons, but you quire literally have experienced none of the actual story. Do you have the attention span of a toddler?

If they go all out on the mindbending shit it will be an improvement at least.

For me the biggest problems were that the characters were incredibly boring, Seb didn't have any real connection to anything that was happening (and doesn't even acknowledge the revelations you find about his wife), most of the areas are typical horror locations instead of playing into a setting where literally anything could happen. While I liked the basic gameplay and even the crossbow, there wasn't much enemy variety and there was an extremely large amount of things with one-hit kill moves, which I feel is antithesis to survival horror, where the point is making good long-term decisions with your resources instead of hard pass/fail mechanics.

There weren't any revelations about his wife in the main game, he's aware of his own backstory.

I had to play the original on Xbone a couple years back with the black bars & 30fps, but I'm looking forward to part two on PC. Hopefully we'll get more answers than questions, more environments like the catacombs and graveyard crypt, as well as no gameplay that resembles anything after Chapter Six whatsoever.

So far all trailers show heavy inspiration taken from Hannibal tv show. Coincidentally Hideo's Death Stranding has the actor of TV-Hannibal in his trailers too.

Coincidence? Or did the Hannibal tv show get localized to the japanese audience recently?

So I take it you didn't like Silent Hill games either. Theres a simple and elegant answer to all of it though, the brainworld-machine on top of the Asylum is a second of its kind. And with a new Wireless feature. You were in a gore mindfuck world the instant all characters hear the strange noise in the car the very first minute in the game. Same goes for all the cops, firefighters and neighbouring houses.

This is the only good criticism, but its so minor within the context of the scene that it shouldn't even matter. Everything else has a reason and explanation if you actually played the game. Don't go thinking you have any legitimate opinion on the story when you haven't experienced practically any of it.

>They can be linear or have branching paths.
so exactly like books?

>>389282619
Well you do learn that she was investigating the very shit you're dealing with when she went missing. The DLC confirms that she's working with them or what, and 2 seems like it will have a much stronger emphasis on her and their daughter which will be a welcome improvement. A huge problem for Seb is that the very reason he even wanted to be on the case was to get closer to figuring out what happened to his wife, but makes absolutely no attempt to do that despite the fact the diaries you're forced to read seem to be trying to build it up, and then he comes through the entire game with literally nothing to show and no interest shown in getting anything.

>>389283318

Or he does Ganondorf and is the main villain behind everything all along.

RE7 was pretty damn good and the first TEW was great. Just a bit story paranoid, not that it matters, because the characters realize the plot is just inception.

>>389283594
Games can give you "Choose your own adventure" experiences plus more like a world to explore on your own accord, gameplay, and it's undoubtedly better than reading words on a page. I don't have anything against books, but videogames are an objectively better medium to tell stories. I'm sorry you're too old and out of touch to understand.

>>389283497

>that still makes little sense

How? Theres a machine in the game taken from movie The Cell where you can enter a virtual reality made from every visitors memories. First version you required a Matrix cord in your neck to enter it. New version has a Wireless version that doesn't require a cord. You hear a loud sound and you're already connected to the machine without your own knowledge. From that point on you're inside the Matrix and nothing you see is truly real.

>>389284224

Well, its the Matrix, or The Cell if you prefer. Shit that happens to you there kills you in real life. Or worse you die in real life but your consciousness is stuck inside the machine, this is essentially what happened to all the villagers.

Silent Hill's beginning is just as vauge as the beginning of The Evil Within. Even more so if you didn't read the manual for the prologue beforehand.

>>389284660
From what I've seen from some game play footage, yes. Way more than fully upgraded stamina in the first game.

Whatever happened to the nurse in the first game?

So where was Krimson City? Any particular country?

>>389285161
Nurse was actually someone from Mobius. I think she was sent in to keep an eye on things. Maybe even provide a safe area to guarantee "assets" do their job.

>>389285393
So Sebastion's wife was working for Mobius and diapered right?

>>389285168

In a region called Murderville, surrounded by a vast landscape called Gorehill Forest with the GutSchpill Lake right next to it.

>>389284903
i'd agree if 10 minutes into silent hill you're speeding away from explosions and headshotting zombies while characters seem to not even notice its happening.

sh probably does tell you even less about itself than tew, but it's a long time in silent hill before "something" even really happens and all the game expects you to know is the place is bad and things will kill you. as opposed to completely surreal and unbelievable events happening back to back in the first 30 minutes.

>>389284850
hm. alright so there's a bit more going on. maybe i'll grab it again on the inevitable steam sale and see if i can trudge through it again.

>>389285168
Originally planned for Spain, changed to New York iirc.

>>389280945
I'm expecting it to move away from some RE4 elements because being linear and too much shooting are what people complained about with the first one.

>>389281062
In one of the IGN articles about it they mentioned how you aren't slowed down by having to use matches on all the corpses now.
Not only did it annoy me that they apparently never learnt how to play the game, it also annoyed me that one of the more fun mechanics from the first appeared to be gone.

>>389281675
>Sorry bub, story-games are garbage and would be better as short films or short stories

Oh, yeah, don't forget originally it was a game about vampires until LOL BETHESDA.

>hm. alright so there's a bit more going on. maybe i'll grab it again on the inevitable steam sale and see if i can trudge through it again.

Theres plenty of lore and "symbolism" in the game. Just remember after very first minute of the game all characters and people in the vicinity of the Asylum are already inside the Matrix.

>>389285994
I must have missed a trick with this, like shooting Laura when she's on fire. So many games have long boss animations which they're invincible in or can't be harmed in so I assumed gunfire was to stun her while you set up traps to do all the damage, but it turns out you're supposed to use that window to damage her instead of set up the next trap.

Every single time I went to throw a match on to an enemy, the window before they begin flailing is literally the frame they hit the ground. Was there some point I was supposed to shoot or am I supposed to put another round into them to stop this, because I remember the flailing having long range, continuing until they stand up anyway and having a lot of reach for a downed enemy.

>>389285994

Matches were just a Silent Hill stomp with ammo by its mechanic. They had very limited usage otherwise and most of the time you didn't even have to get rid of corpses, unless the four-armed boss was around.

>>389285774
>but it's a long time in silent hill before "something" even really happens
It doesn't even take 10 minutes into the intro for you to din yourself suddenly in the Otherworld and then 'die'. When you wake up there is essentially no reaction from Harry to Cybil about the experience and then you right back to exploring the town for Cheryl, only now there are monsters too.
>expects you to know is the place is bad and things will kill you
How is that practically any different from TEW?

>>389286287
You can just stand by their legs.

>>389286350
>Not using it to burn 3-4 zombies alive
Felt good and made ammo never an issue on Akumu.

>>389286287
It's been awhile but I don't remmber this really being an issue.
You can also match them if they step in a bear trap/use electricity bolt.
And if a hay bale is around you can go wild.

>>389286698

Bunching them up on the ground was rare, I only recall doing it effectively with the monks on the part with the harpoon turrets. Just shoot one flashbang-arrow in the middle of a bunch then Stealth kill them all to death, much easier and less of a hassle.

>>389285479
According to the DLC, yeah. She didn't completely disappear, as she was with the STEM machine when Seb woke up. Makes me wonder if she left those notes to throw him off the trail.

>>389286921
I think I got most of it and I'm pretty excited for the second. Tatiana was probably my favorite character despite not actually being in there possibly.

>>389286846
Oh yeah I didn't match on everyone, but I used the opportunities a lot when I saw them.
Also, only one had to be on the ground to use the match, and it would burn the surrounding ones that are stood up.

Flash arrows were cool too, but I'm assuming they are still in it.

>>389286502
the transition from hospital to spooky basement is equivalent to the sh hell world crawling in. but sh didn't almost immediately drop the hell world to a bunch of random trippy things exploding and you're suddenly in the woods.

All of the really major reveals were in DLCs so pretty much most people missed them.

>>389286846
>Bunching them up on the ground
m8 all you had to do was get yourself surrounded, shoot an electric bolt and then burn the whole group, fire carries across electricity in The Kino Within and all stunned enemies are burnable even when they're standing up

No and no.

>>389287638
The crossbow is really good what are you on.

I was a little skeptical, but I saw the new gameplay videos in YouTube and I'm pretty hyped. Really reminds me of silent hill 2 and resident evil 2. It looks really fluid and the exploration looks like it'll be rewarding

>>389287280
i'm not talking about 3 or 4. it's pretty unfair to compare the first in a series to the 3rd or 4th in a different series. people have certain assumtions and expectations when playing a sequel.

but if someone went into sh3 without ever knowing what the silent hill series is, i'd imagine they'd have a similar response to mine.

>>389287401
>Crossbow actually good?
Fucking yes. 2 trap parts to make a harpoon that one-hit-kills most enemies and stuns the Ruvik mimics long enough to burn. 2 trap parts to make a stun that stuns the chainsaw guy so you can stealth attack him and take away a huge chunk of his health. Freezing bolts that insta-kills all normal enemies and set up a window for punishing bosses.
>Is there even a point in improving your melee?
Only if you're going for the melee achievement. I guess if you unlock the brass knuckles, fully upgraded melee is roughly a two-hit kill.

>>389288049
That's Stefano. He had his own introduction trailer. His voice is really fucking familiar and I still have no idea who the fuck it is

>>389287638

You can break the game by updgrading the standard bolts to Max. They're overpowered as fuck and very cheap to make.

>>389288073
To clarify what this guy is saying, you get brass knuckles for completing Akumu (maybe nightmare as well, not sure), so you can't get them on normal.
Can't remember what the melee achievement is, but I can't imagine upgrading melee will help in anyway since you can stunlock enemies with melee, so if there is just one guy you can go ham.

He's the Not-Hannibal of TEW 2. Not that I complain, always cool to spot the obvious inspiration.

>>389288317
Guy you replied to. I didn't feel like stunlocking enemies, so my main tactic was stomping them while they're on the ground, so upgraded melee helped kill them before they stood up.
Also, you can unlock brass knuckles by playing Nightmare.

>>389288584
It's kind of cool that the fact he's an artist seems to influence the enemies. If you look closely at the buzzsaw woman, you'll notice she's made up of body parts tied together, like he was building a statue out of corpses. Then there's that floating enemy which was in a graceful pose in one of the trailers. And of course, there's the camera enemy.
