I really don't see the problem with the face cam. So long as Patrick doesn't play up or exaggerate his reactions it seems like a completely harmless inclusion.

That part with the generators was so stressful and terrifying for me, I probably died 50 times. (And by "died" I mean got caught and immediately restarted the section because I couldn't handle trying to run.) After getting past it, watching it again is still extremely stressful.

Please don't use scare cam ever again during gameplay. It's fine when you're addressing your audience, but having a shot of you reacting to the game is just insulting to their intelligence.

People aren't babies, Patrick. Get rid of that terrible Pewdiepie gimmick before it's too late.

I play this in nVidia's 3D Vision and it makes this twice as scary, especially alone in the dark, with good quality headphones on. The 3D gives it a whole new level of feeling like you're in the game, especially how the movement of your character and the way you react to the environments in the game are quite well done to begin with.There's a nice fix for 3D Vision users by HeliX here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/-HeliX-/Outlast.zip

Such a bummer how mean spirited some people get just because of the 'scare cam'. I think it's a fun way of showing Patrick's genuine emotions while playing the game. Can't see why you'd get all upset about it.

So, I just get this for free on PS+ come time for the PS4? I'm totally cool with that. Looks neat. Like a mixture of Condemned, Fatal Frame, and Slender. Not a bad thing at all.

Hate to break it to you bub, but that "pewdiepie gimmick" has been used in video content on the internet and television for decades and decades.

Using A, B, X and Y as face buttons on a controller? Yo son, get that Xbox 360 gimmick outta my face.

EDIT: Seeing @nekroskop respond makes me redact my snark towards him. But I stand by the silly concept dammit

I am not going to pretend I am some super manly man by acting like nothing scares me so I am going to fully admit that I dont know how Patrick does this. I can sit through your average horror movie (non-torture porn) and I can even sit through a QL of a game like this even if it creeps the hell out of me, but playing a horror game is beyond me. Even when there are cheesy predicable jump scares, the atmosphere and the fact that you are committing to every move yourself is more than enough to make me freak out. Keep it up Scoops, but I will never understand the fascination

What the hell... how in the world is that "insulting"??

I actually think it's fun to have the cam there. You might need to lighten up bro.

You need to crank that gamma up higher, man. We can't see anything in the really dark areas. (Didn't even see the logo on the gamma screen.)

Hahaha I'm slogging through it on PS4 ever so slowly and maaan the thing that gets me more than anything is the sound design the music is what really builds the tension to a breaking point.
