New The Evil Within 2 trailer

>>390083868
Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the game and I enjoyed the first one, but this trailer paints it in a whole new light compared to the previous ones.

Before, there was an emphasis on the horror, or so it seemed. I felt like I was watching an RE6 trailer on this one, which is not a good thing. Complete with over-the-top megalomaniac anime bad guy.

I'm not holding my breath.

>>390084346
This trailer makes it look more like something in line with The Evil Dead, which is fine with me.

>>390084472
>something in line with The Evil Dead

Either we didn't watch the same trailer, or we didn't watch the same Evil Dead.

Installing the first right now. Any tips for the first run through?

Sweet, actual horror instead of just blood and random chunks of flesh everywh...annnnnd it's another generic "le christians r evil XD" game.

Into the trash it goes, right next to Outlast 2, Watch_Dogs 2, and Far Cry 5.

>>390084671
Upgrade the shotgun, and get stealth kills as often as you can to preserve ammo for the beefier enemies

>>390084671
Don't upgrade melee, it's a waste

>>390084758
It's not a Christian, though.
It's a Mobius cultist. You can tell because that same symbol was in the first game.
Stop baiting.

>>390084671
Max out crit chance on the revolver.

>>390084895
this
Getting headshots on that thing will save you ridiculous amounts of ammo and make encounters with regular enemies much easier

>>390084346
>>390084472

This trailer made me feel like I was watching a horror version of Uncharted. Still gonna play this because the first one was great even if I can't remember a single thing about the story besides Safebox head man.

>>390084758
>cultist symbols not even remotely related to Christianity
>main villain doesn't say anything related to Christianity
did we watch the same trailer?

>>390083868
Looks like a The Last of Us clone

I beat it but I almost want to new game+ on easy just to have fun killing. The first run felt like a chore.

>>390085286
TLOU isn't even half as good as TEW

>>390085113
>a single thing about the story besides Safebox head man.
Everyone in the game gets hooked to a machine run by some psychopath's demented brain. Everyone hooked up adds a little bit of fuckery to this alternate reality. The psycho's brain is trying to use a retarded kid to become the new host for his consciousness and escape the machine. MC beats the psycho dude and wakes up from the machine. Despite his best efforts, is seems that Psycho escaped in Retard's body.

AKUMU mode is challenging but fun.

>>390085593

I didn't think survival mode was fun though.

>>390083868
Underground facility? Suburbs? Pistol? I thought the game took place in the '50s or something?

>lol ur stupid if u think that far cry 5 is mocking christians! its totally not cause they'res no crosses so lol its totally not christians!

On a serious note, I'll pass on this garbage like I did with Outlast 2 and like I'll pass up on Far Cry 5 and The Last of Us 2. Garbage belongs in a dumpster, not my collection.

the emphasis on story and characters puts me off. The new crafting and open environment spiel makes me uneasy. It might not have been for everyone, but I loved the hyper linear nature of the first game. I really REALLY don't like the idea of crafting ammo and different guns or wandering around an area and looking for NPCs. So far everything looks like stuff from the early parts of the game but I'm still concerned.

Sure the first game was rough but all these new features make it seem like the devs are stuffing this game with unnecessary mechanics and aren't focusing on refining the good parts of TEW.

please tell me this is a falseflag and you're not actually this braindead

>>390086582
>REALLY don't like the idea of crafting ammo and different guns

They did this in the first game, though?

>>390084671
upgrade sprint, get maxed harpoons for chapter 10 or you will suffer

>>390086360
>he thinks darkness is needed for something to be scary
You're the reason horror games have become nothing but schlock recently

>>390086737
>upgrade sprint
>harpoons
>shotgun
>handgun crit
Do you agree with ALL of these? Are these the things someone should focus on?

Can a single player game be dead?

>>390086714

you didn't craft weapons, you found them. The only ammo you "crafted" were bolts and you did that on the fly in the weapons menu. Now you have to plod back to a save spot and craft ammo/weapons there

not really liking this super slow pacing the game is going for

>>390086789
Then name me one game that takes place in bright day and is scary? I'm waiting.

>J-Just because it wasn't done before doesn't mean it doesn't work

That's exactly what it means. RE4 was not an actual horror game, just a really good TPS.

>>390086789
Darkness isn't a necessity, no, but a large part of what makes horror successful is atmosphere. Horror atmosphere is a lot harder to pull off in environments that don't utilize deep shadows/darkness to some degree.

>>390086790

shotgun isn't that needed. It's great for sure but I'd go for ammo capacity before upping shotgun damage. Revolver crit and regular harpoon damage are the most important because those weapons will always have ammo around.

>>390086790
i would also add flash bolts and ammo capacity for all guns those are great

>>390086876
Yes. If it fails to sell.

>>390086360
The black dude isn't the main villain. They've stated several times that Lily is the main goal, with several villains attempting to claim her first. Each one will have their own "arc" or section within the game.
Stefano is one of them, and so is Theodore, this new villain. Chances are Ruvik will be making some sort of return, as well.

>>390086916
Pathologic

Anybody know if they're still using the fuck awful engine from the original game?

>>390086790
Not him but I would focus on stamina and match stockpile right from the start. Get at least level 3 stamina and 15 matches. Also focus on leveling flash bolts for the crossbow as they stun for a long ass time at high level and you can perform instant kills on enemies blinded by it. Max arrow stock as well. Handgun crit is a meme if you ask me. I beat Akumu without it. Just shoot an enemy in the leg once or twice when they start running at you at you and they'll fall over and then you can quickly drop a match on them for an instant kills. Alternately just a single shotgun round will floor most normal enemies and then you can light them up as well. Leveling up sniper rifle's attack power is a nice boss killer. Might want to save some gel for late game to upgrade the magnum and breeze through the final bosses.

>>390086790

nope

You can upgrade sprint but the game is balanced around the player having no upgrades in sprint so you don't need it. The default jogging speed is enough for everything. The only reason to upgrade harpoons is for damage and fire but its redundant as fuck compared to your other weapons. Getting max harpoons for Chapter 10 is a waste for your first playthrough. Better to invest in flash, shock and explosive bolts, they are much more useful. Crowd control is paramount in this game, if you need high damage in a single shot, focus on shotgun damage THEN focus on maxing the magnum when you get it. As for hangun crit, that's really up to you but I wouldn't bother because efficient play and crowd control is way stronger than hoping for RNG to kill an enemy for you. It's a useful perk but not necessary

>>390087214

To anyone in the fence about the first game, there is a 18GB repack floating around that has the first game and all the DLC, when installed its like 55GB, i recommend playing the DLC its short but excellent

TEW 2 is showing so much cool shit that was cut from the first game, I'm fucking pumped.

TWE 1 ended up being an acquired taste but I ended up liking it a lot more the second play-through for some reason. I get that they were going for a confusing mindfuck story but it was a bit much at the beginning.

I hope mikami can speak more about the game. Hopefully, bethesda will allow him to come out of the you-better-make-it-like-last-of-us hole they've been keeping him in for the past 2 years.

>>390084671

Go for critic upgrade. Don't upgrade sprint, increases tension. Makes the game much more engaging.

How the fuck is there an achievement for a no upgrade run is beyond me, though.

This looks better than the 30 minute gameplay footage we got earlier, which gives me hope that most of the forced/scripted shit is at the start of the game. Though I hope it doesn't try too hard on the scripted scares like chase sections, or hide and seek sections.

>>390087163
Jesus

>>390087148
They confirmed that it will be using Tango's own proprietary engine made just for TEW2, called the STEM Engine.
No id Tech 5.

>Mikami went on record saying he wanted the design to be more like REmake.

>Still linear levels/setpieces

>But with an open hubworld that you can explore the more items you get along the game

I'm all in for this shit. The flamethrower monster that was in the artbook makes me think they'll bring out most of the weird shit that was cut last game.

>>390087880

kek, buddy their engine was built on top of idtech 5, it's the same code. They even talked about it during development for the DLC on the first game. Sure they rewrote a lot of code (especially for the lighting) but it's still idtech 5. Just look at the texture streaming issues, it's a hallmark of megatextures. Even idtech 6 can't get away from that problem

This game doesn't need a fucking sandbox and even more emphasis on crafting. I really hope that town is just one area. Don't like seeing more NPCs either and having Kidman radioing you all the time. Also following the radio signals? Get the fuck out of here with that shit. Seb's new VA sucks too.

Anon, pls, that's barely better than pre-rendered.

>>390087470

>Camera monster is a giant Fatal Frame reference

I always liked how the first always had horror references from all kinds of media. The setting allowed for that kinda shit.

I shouldn't like the first as much as I do, especially considering that the ending was DLC.

>>390088075

I'm bummed they replaced litearlly all the VAs. Even Tatiana's is different

I really hope Ruvik doesn't show up this game because they'll probably change his voice too

>>390083868
is the first game worth playing? it looked pretty bad.

>>390088509

Well, Ruvik's VA is a legitimate actor so maybe he's not cut from this game since he's not part of whatever money begging temper tantrum VAs are shitting about right now.

The new VAs are all worse, yeah.

>>390088075

>This game doesn't need a fucking sandbox and even more emphasis on crafting.

Fuck you, it didn't. The early trailers of the first game was all about bomb crafting so you could spike the house which was being overrun by zombies and we never got that shit.

Devs streamed the game literally 2 days ago and stated that it'd be running on an entirely new engine.

Most of EW's main character's voice actors were legitimate aside from Joseph who was voiced by Yuri Lowenthal. I'm not sure if he's part of the strike but I think he is part of the union.

Bethesda just chose a cheaper option this time and hired new people.
