Bethesda Reveals The Evil Within

[Abomination]

Not really a fan of the horror game genre. Upset that Bethesda isn't directing more effort towards a new Fallout game with a better engine.

Oh well, can't win them all.

 

[R.Nevermore]

This doesn't look like the kind of horror that the games industry needs. Less dead space, more amnesia

 

[ToastiestZombie]

I dunno, the trailer just seemed like it was breathing down my neck going "YOU SCARED YET! HOW ABOUT I SHOW YOU A CREEPY GIRL WITH LONG HAIR! ARE YA ARE YA ARE YA?", and making it live-action just made it feel like if Nintendo of the 80's decided to make a trailer for a horror game. The monster designs we saw were really generic, the aforementioned creepy long-haired girl and Safe Head, another massive guy in a butcher's outfit with a massive weapon and a weird head.
I'll wait for some gameplay, but right now I'm not all that impressed.

 

[Omegatronacles]

Well that was exceptionally underwhelming.

I'm sorry, but jerky camera combined with poor focus and telegraphed shocks do not make an interesting horror trailer.

No tension, no atmosphere, I get that not being able to get a clear view of what's hunting you can be extremely terrifying, but you have to show enough to give a reason to be afraid in the first place.

 

[anian]

Well that was a tropeish Japanese horror of a trailer.

I see some silent hill motivs thereyramid head evolved to "Safe" head?

Well they had to do that, as David Cage said - the next gen offers more polygons thus more emotions. I personally can't wait for dodecahedron or even...dare I say it...A SPHERE. Think of all the emotions!

 

[CardinalPiggles]

Certainly a 10/10 for the disgusting factor, but creepy/scary? Not really.

It'll be interesting to see the actual game for certain, but I'm not holding my breath for this one.

 

[ninjaRiv]

so, I'm not the only one who feels those... monsters (?) were just retreads of previous games' characters, right?

Pyramid Head's younger brother, Safe Head finally gets a shot at the lime-light, and apparently he followed in his brother's footsteps of large melee weapon training.

and as for the 4 armed girl, you can't just throw 2 additional arms on Left 4 Dead's Witch and think we won't notice...

Yeah, to me it looks like Resident Evil trying to be Silent Hill. But, to be honest, I'm ok with that.

 

[lancar]

Once upon a time, before I was de-sensitized by something or other called "the internet", I would probably have been horribly scarred by that trailer.

Now, it's more along the lines of: "oh... hm, oh well, another horror game I'll never buy. Wish they'd announced more Fallout instead"

 

[crimson sickle2]

They could do some interesting stuff with blood based enemies, as long as they expand on that, then it could be interesting. Other than that, I have no idea about safe head.

 

[GameChanger]

Well that was a letdown.

I hope beth is also working on Fallout 4 behind the scenes. Or at least they gave it to Obsidian.

 

[Not Lord Atkin]

A survival horror game by the creator of Resident Evil published by a company with a focus on quality singleplayer games? I'm fucking sold.

 

[CriticalMiss]

Seems a bit 'meh'. It's also not so much of a reveal as yet another teaser, since we saw absolutely nothing of the game.

 

[shrekfan246]

Sure is a lot of cynicism in this thread.

Not confined solely to this thread, unfortunately, but I agree that it's endlessly hilarious to see people instantly cry about how much of a rip-off it is and how they should be working on more sequels instead. Of course, even better is the few people who are basing whether they'll buy the game or not off of this teaser. You know. That shows no gameplay.

Gamers.

OT: Live-action/CGI teasers aren't really enough to sell me on something, so I'll be waiting to see what the game is actually going to look like before deciding what my level of anticipation is for it.

 

[Pink Apocalypse]

By the numbers, I should be wildly excited for this.

+ 1 Original Res Evil creator, + 1 Survival Horror, + 1 quasi-sandbox (rumored), + 1 Bethesda...

But that imagery...I instantly knew the source of every single shot used. Creepy guy hunched in the basement 'creating' = original Nightmare on Elm Street, rising from a pool of blood = Hellraiser, the obvious Pyramid Head and Saw references, the L4D / Ring female knock-off...

Not really sold, and feeling weirdly let down by something I didn't even know existed a few days ago. Hopefully they'll be able to take these 'seen-it-before' elements & concepts, and arrange them in an exciting, or at least compelling new way.

Actual game play footage would have been nice. I'm not as interested in it now as I was before.

 

[Spudgun Man]

I'm sorry WHAT?

To put it bluntly, we're losing out on potentially more content for Skyrim for an Evil Dead cash in?

Looks like Bethesda have cooked up another Brink...

 

[viranimus]

Yeah really dissapointed for the choice to go with a new IP when there is a perfectly good IP to work with that is absolutely dying to be explored. Oh well.

And what IP (and I'm assuming that we are talking about Intellectual Properties here) would that be exactly? You are aware that Shinji Mikami no longer works for Capcom, right? He hasn't since roughly 2007. Furthermore, any "horror IPs" he's worked on are all locked into Capcom, which is how it works with damn near everything in the industry. And, quite frankly, Resident Evil is about the only Survival-Horror based IP he's ever worked on that's still kicking around.

If you're talking about Dino Crisis, it wouldn't matter anyways since Capcom has already killed that one off a loooooong time ago.

Wow. Thats an awful hostile response considering how badly this was misread.

Perhaps in the future before you jump blindly to a conclusion you would take a moment to reread what you are quoting to see if it is actually in any way in context to the response you want to post.

 

[AlotFirst]

Bethesda isn't developing this game, you know. You wouldn't be getting any more Skyrim DLC either way.

Looks like Bethesda have cooked up another Brink...

Or another Dishonored, or another Fallout: New Vegas.

 

[SecondPrize]

What in the ever-loving fuck was that? Woot for PC. Seriously though, what the heck was that?

 

[Froggy Slayer]

Still think that this is gonna end up being a Lovecraft game, just you guys watch.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Sounds Baroque.

I know that piece, and I think it may be a Haydn one? Either way, Harpsichord strongly hints at it.

Although why the hell Baroque? 16th-17th century is an odd time to have your music from.

I believe it's Bach's "Air".

Now I won't hear that piece the song ever again, or play it without thinking of it.

OT: A survival horror game?

That's from a AAA developer?

Yes please, and please don't suck. My heart can't take any more failure.
