The Forest Seems Utterly Terrifying

Oculus support? There's your cure for constipation right there.

Wow, and from what I recall this will have Oculus support. I'm sure that'll be...intense.

I think I just wet myself.

Doesn't seem too survival horror to me. Then again, perhaps we've just destroyed the term by throwing it around all these years on titles that didn't deserve it...

I'll wait for the full version though: I don't want to get used to the scares by playing it over and over every time it's patched.

Well, that's the stuff of nightmares. Jesus Christ.

endless mob of mutants vs 1 guy and an axe? getdafuqouttahere

Was 100% down until the multi-armed dudes showed up. I was hoping for more of a Robinson Crusoe style game, where there are these fucked up cannibals that you have to defend against, and not supernatural stuff. I'll probably still check it out but my hype has dropped considerably.

Calling it, those cannibal people are all just wearing stage clothes and acting, and they're really living in a nice village on the other side of the island.

looks cool but FUCK PLAYING that game. I already have enough trouble sleeping thank you very much.

I don't usually purchase early access games (Kerbal Space Program is the exception), but I would absolutely break my rule (again) for this. Looks absolutely amazing, and horrifying.

I'm with you Patrick, I'm simultaneously super stoked and incredibly terrified for this to come out. Every time I see a trailer I get a sinking feeling knowing that I'll be forcing myself to play it.

This looks really fantastic.

While watching I thought the game looked pretty good, but not scary. Then it said it will have Oculus Rift support. Even rudimentary games attempting horror are pretty creepy on Rift, I can't imagine what this will be like on it.

Well that's one forest you probably won't get much resistance for clear-cutting it.

The combat looks like a tricky balance. It would be so awful to lose time and time again on those huge waves of enemies, but then if the penalty for death is something like waking up in a cave, hung by the feet and having to escape, there's no real danger to it. I hope they can balance that stuff properly.

I don't know about that... I mean, it looks like you're going to have to get pretty serious about building and rebuilding yourself some fortifications, weapons, traps, etc just to stave off the things trying to kill you.

I think since it's early, they probably just wanted to focus on the atmosphere and all the scary shit that's out to get you.

Wiat... there is monsters in The Forrest? I thought it was just cannibals.

Wow! Great trailer. A lot of cool stuff going on.

I respect every duder who can play this game alone in a dark room or (even better) in the middle of the night, with headphones on full volume, without shitting himself...I am NOT that kind of person, unfortunately.

This game looks way too freaky for my taste. Hanging bodies everywhere...Jesus. Reminds me of Blair Witch Project for some reason.

Forests are just the most disturbing thing on earth...nothing good happens there...

Dude.

Don't go in that cave.

This is like a 3D Don't Starve, but with no whimsy and less emphasis on crafting.

Looks like a higher budget Miasmata, and those words just made me pee my pants a little...

@yummylee: the first thing I thought when I saw camera being controlled by mouse movement was "oh, it's for PC". I second the notion of PS4 port with interest.

Getting some real strong Betrayer vibes and some minor Miasmata vibes. As both were kind of disappointing to me (Betrayer more than Miasmata), i'll be cautious about this one.

This looks incredible. Not sure I've got the disposition for it though!

WHY EVEN BUILD WALLS?

@16shells: i totally got that vibe too! looks great

I really like the look of this game.

@tux79513: Take your SCAM some place else.

Is the guy in the trailer really using a cheap lighter for a torch (around 1:10)? That's not very practical, those little flint-wheels get hot very quickly (I once burnt my thumb on one lighting a bunch of candles in a row) and the flame goes out with the smallest breeze. They had better change that to a zippo lighter which would make more sense.

The rest of it looks cool though. I guess it will have mechanics similar to minecraft and terraria where you have to gather food and build during the day and defend yourself against monsters during the night. From the developers website I gather that it will be a single player game (with co-op scheduled for the future). Which is a good thing because I read nothing but bad things about survival horror games with multiplayer only. On their website they also state that their will be an option to turn of the horror element and only focus on the survival part of the game.

Seems to be influenced by Neil Marshall's The Descent. I'm in.

I love the swarm of giant monsters running at the guy while he holds a tiny axe.

I think this looks pretty spectacular technically, specially considered it's being developed in unity3D ( which is a great engine but has some annoying limitations)...
but opposite to you @patrickklepek, I'm finding that now that they showed the deformed enemies and more of the gameplay style, it all looks more actiony / minecrafty, than horror. Of course it could be just this trailer though, We will have to wait and see, I'm definitely going to give it a try.

I'm torn because this looks awesome and I want as quickly to play this game, but playing a horror game for early access could reduce the thrills on final release. Then again, playing the alpha of Neverending Nightmares, and that is some chilling stuff even after a few tries and being linear.

It would be great if the only survival game that shows promise wasn't also trying to scare the shit out of me. Oh well...

Wow, that lighting and animation looks great!

Calling it: Game takes place on another planet. Boom!

This trailer is a month old. Way to be on top of things, Giantbomb.

OH MAN OH MAN. I wish the consumer rift model would hurry up and come out already, I don't really want to buy a dev version. If this is as good as it is promising... hmmm I might just have to splurge.

The part of the game with building and the mundane seem interesting. How sold on the combat part. It depends how those elements play off one another if I will want to try this or not.

I can't wait to watch Patrick play this.

Parts of this looks like what I would hope Rust would turn into, seeing him chop a tree down and it look like how you would expect is really impressive.

@killnger: I can pinpoint that stomach dropping feeling to when I saw resident evil for the first time, sh3, and now this! Can't wait to scream myself to sleep! WOO!

This game looks great. I remember hearing that it's made by just a few dudes. It's got an actual story and ending as well, which I like. It's not something I would want to play on early access though. I want my first time experiencing it to have everything in place.

Wow, this looks great!

I really don't think I could handle it on Oculus though.

Naked monsters with hands for faces are probably where I draw the line as far as my desire for total immersion goes.

Wow, this game looks great. Love the details in the crafting and hunting and the enemies are genuinely creepy. Here's to this actually being a survival-horror game. Now, let's see if I can get in on that beta...
