Nothing more terrifying than those textures. Yikes.

I guess I maybe just jumped to the conclusion, but I thought the whole hook of this game was that it was survival horror in terms of you being captured by a real(ish) kind of serial killer. Giant monster arms, blood-filled hallways, and pyramid box head, seem to argue otherwise.

Damn. I was more excited about the game that, apparently, only existed in my head.

Meh this kind of horror doesn't really do much for me. I think more subtle horror is generally better.

I'd like to think the stupid statement of ''There's something wrong with this place'' is a coy reference to Jill's line in the original Resident Evil of ''There's something wrong with this house''. Given the many other references to Mikami's Resident Evils, I wouldn't put it past them.

Also, yeah, this game unfortunately isn't much of a looker. But hopefully it'll manage to pull off some appropriately nasty atmosphere all the same. The Souls games on consoles have never been graphical powerhouses but could always still look rather fetching all the same, while they also successfully portray a sense of place.

The song is called Clair de Lune by Debussy.

On topic, this game looks a bit rough but I really like how it reminds me Silent Hill/ Resident Evil/ and maybe a bit of Deadly Premonition. I really do hope the story is good, I like what've seen so far.

So, is the game no longer letter-boxed? That was the thing that really put me off from past footage (because why would anyone want anything to be letterboxed?), but if it's proper 16:9 (like everything should be), then I'm back on board.

I don't know.. While not the best graphics I have ever seen, the graphics looked good enough to tell it's story. What else do you need?

Hopefully this is not the PS4 or Xbox One version, because it doesn't look so great.

Otherwise, I think the game looks interesting, might be a purchase for me.

For some reason, there is almost nothing that makes me cringe quite so much as the idea of a slice to the achilles tendon

Yeah, when I saw the logo my heart kind of sank just a little bit. Still, I'm gonna try and remain optimistic.

To be fair, they're only acting as publisher. They dont have their sticky mitts on the development.

I love how incredibly fucking twisted this looks. Pleasebegoodpleasebegoodpleasebegood.

I had a fantasy version of this game in my head too. I don't know why I was expecting more than what seems to be a carnival of cliché horrors. But hey it might still be fun!

As much as I'm looking forward to this, I couldn't help but groan at the mention of another Mental Hospital.

I don't get it..didn't it look better in an old gameplay video I saw? I guess that happens often enough and is possible. Was really grossed out by some of the textures mainly because in my head the game had looked much better but now I'm not sure it actually did. I still love everything else that seems to be going on atleast.

The game looked a lot better than this in earlier trailers. (graphically)
I imagine this is PS3/360.

Regardless, I'm very much looking forward to this game. Shinji, I believe!

If "The Evil Within" just turns out to be a better looking "The Suffering" I will be A.O.K. with that. Sadly, "The Suffering" does not hold up technically, but it had some awesome heavy-metal-horror hooks in it.
