    I know. Still pretty awesome of them to be supporting all these cool new IPs.

    They just need to avoid stuff like Hunted : The Demon's Forge. I was interested in Brink but it could have used a closed alpha.

    Oi. Hunted rocks. Gears of War as a badass Elven archer? completely underrated.

    I'm currently watching a speedrun of the RE Remake, and it is fucking hilarious. I just witnessed a tank full of zombie sharks under a lab under a mansion. I mean, RE5 had Chris punching a boulder and RE4 had a fair number of silly events...but come on.

    Really? I thought it had bad reviews and low sales.

    How are those two things related to the quality of a game? :P

    But seriously: get it on a Steam sale if arpgs are your thing, it's a good arpg with fun combat and coop if you got a buddy.

    This game needs more hype, it's easily my most anticipated game of 2014 and I think there's a huge surprise coming, it's not the game people think it is, it's being pitched as a corridor survival horror game alan silent hill. What it really is, is resident evil 4 2... This game opens up In a big major way

    It's a Resident Evil reboot without the burden of being a Resident Evil game. Silly comes with the territory.

    Agree...I ended up using that GMG offer. I will have to wait until they finally release those PC requirements for my video card purchase though...

    Yep. This is rolling around. Any special preorder stuff? I know they have that flip around cover. That is why I am getting a physical copy on this one.

    Edit:
    I just see the survival pack. That is it.

    Yeah I think it's just the fighting chance pack in the west though I hear Japan gets an OST and some other goodies?

    OP screenies were a little too out there for my taste, reminded me of Clive Barker's Jericho or something, but if they can scrounge up a decent story to go with it I'll keep my mouth shut.
    The concepts in BritishDavid's post looked hella nice though, much more atmosphere and coolness in those. :) I'll probably grab this at the first sale a few months down the line.

    Heard a couple things about this on the SuperBestFriendCast. Apparently Shinji has been super responsive to criticism and has been excising huge completed sections of the game if they tested poorly. I've not been following the development at all, but it's shaping up to be somethin' spoooky. It'll be nice to get into a game with no prior knowledge :D

    Oh brilliant

    I'm all for a new survival-horror game, but to be honest, the hyper-gore is seriously turning me off. Yes, I get it. Things are supposed to be grim and horrible. But seriously, the creep factor wears off pretty fast when "drenched in blood and organs" is more common than having bricks for walls and tile for floors. Nothing horrible stands out because everything is too horrible already.

    Whoopedy-doo, some dude with gouged-out eyes and railroad spikes jammed through his neck is coming after me. Kinda doesn't have much impact when I've been shin-deep in rib cages and intestines for the last hour or two. I feel like the design theme is going to be "lots of blood and GOOOOORRRE, isn't that scary!"

    Which is generally not very scary. It isn't even particularly disturbing after a while, because it becomes so common you just tune it out and shoot stuff.

    From what I can tell, the game's visual design relies primarily on delapitated if normal imagery and then shit gets real fairly frequently

    We'll see how well it ends up working but it looks good to me

    This seems like corruption, but through the soul instead of viruses.

    It would be better if they leaned more on the sanity angle instead of the gore.

    I don't think they intend to give folks enough stuff to duke it out. The preorder "bonus" is like three shotgun shells and that's almost like an in joke.

    My buddy mentioned this to me a couple of times and besides the resident evil related interest I didn't really care

    but I hadn't looked at screen. it looks really really nice. I'll probably let him get it and take a look but it definitely has my attention now.

    You also get a double barrel shotgun and some special bolts.

    Here's the full list:
    Medical Kit - A vital health enhancement to enable Sebastian to fight on.
    Green Gel - Used to upgrade Sebastian's attributes.
    Double Barrel Shotgun and Three Shells - A larger and more formidable shotgun than the regular shotgun, it's useful for tight situations with multiple encroaching enemies.
    An Incendiary Agony Bolt - Capable of showering nearby enemies with damaging fire sparks.
    A Poison Agony Bolt - Will draw enemies towards it and poison them, allowing Sebastian time for a quick escape.

    Not too bad all in all. Sounds like you don't want to use the DB on a single enemy though.

    Yeah. It is kind of like the undead in WoW. Not hugely original. It is kind of like they are playing off "The Thing", but from a paranormal angle.

    I'm pretty stoked about the game. I'll be getting it on PC around Christmas.

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    Trying to decide whether to get this or Shadows of Mordor first.

    I'm excited for it but I am also a coward when it comes to horror games and would be far more likely to finish SoM.

    Shadow of Mordor is GOTY material, so you should get that first.
