Bethesda Reveals The Evil Within

[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.

I'm sorry WHAT?

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

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.

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.

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.

Seriously, When was the last time someone was genuinely scared by something that occurred in say, Resident Evil? Honestly last one I can recall was dobermans through the window and excluding the most recent one Ive played all the "numbered" installments.

Personally I found the writing in the most recent Resident Evil games to be the stuff of nightmares...

On Topic: I kinda feel like this is a letdown. Those teasers where far more enigmatic than most, and finding out what it was all about seems somewhat anti-climactic.

 

[viranimus]

In fact, there isn't any way to "misread" your post because IPs are directly what you are talking about, and completely in context for both your original post as well as mine.

How about instead of wasting time whining about how a little rough language is "awfully hostile" to your feelings, you actually take a second to answer the quoted post, hm?

I would have answered the quoted post, but you quoting me had nothing to do with what I actually wrote and I am not in the habit of arguing sides of someones misinterpretation because how am I expected to know how someone is going to misinterpret something?

Ill put it like this.

Mikami who? Why should I care in any way shape or form what Mikami says, thinks, does or has worked on in the past when I never referenced Mikami, was not discussing Mikami and made no mention of Capcom either? (Side note How many IPs does Mikami personally own? Zero? Then why exactly would you point to IPs, Reference Mikami, cite what he has available to work with and lock it into the confines of IPs he has worked on? WTF?)


But no, you are totally right. There is absolutely no possible way you could have misread what I said and supplanted your own issue/information in complete exchange of what I wrote. No possible way what so ever.

One other thing. On Hostility. I did not start this exchange by quoting something you said to tell you how you were wrong and do so with snide undertones. But if you are going to be hostile, own it. Dont try to pass your hostility off on the person you were being hostile towards.

That it? Reading the hype of the OP, I thought it would be far worse then it was. Reminds me of silent hill, and I can't ell if that is bad or not. On one hand, the trailer looks like it is stealing off that series so bad lawsuits may be pending, on the other horror games have been rare and even a retread of familiar tropes and themes can be done solidly and make a good game, so more power to them in that way.
I don't care for the Saw vibe nor the discordant noise and imagery juxaposed with something refined or soothing. Seems over done in a bad way and makes the project come off as a video game adaption of some of the recent gore porn horror movies trying to fake having class.

I guess I can grant that. That could easily be my own personal desensitization over genuine failings of the genre.

 

[electric_warrior]

That wasn't even as scary as the opening credits to the first season of American Horror Story and it says nothing about the game

 

[Edl01]

Minute long trailer.
People claiming that they dislike the game. Logic.

And no I'm not talking about people disliking the trailer, people are genuinly hating on the game and saying it sucks for a 1 minute 30 second live action trailer...

Personally I'll wait for game-play before commenting. But a AAA survival horror game has me fairly interested. Plus it's an origional IP, how can anyone be mad about that? We have had so many sequels lately it's silly.

 

[mad825]

Right, I'm calling it. The game is either a console exclusive or exclusively for consoles.

 

[Combustion Kevin]

You know, this could have been a trailer for American Horror Story.

I was about to say, luckily American Horror story does horror exceptionally well, I'm curious on how this will turn out.

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Anyone noticed it's called 'Psychobreak' in Japan.

Drink Psychobreak! Made from the juices of real people! It'll quench ya!

Right, I'm calling it. The game is either a console exclusive or exclusively for consoles.

It's on PC too.

 

[Rad Party God]

Hmmm... I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt, you can be safe my expectations are around the floor with this one.

 

[irishda]

"Evil Within" eh? Must refer to the horde of bugs this game will invariably have...

 

[Genocidicles]

So after all that bullshit with vines or whatever it's called, we don't even get a trailer made in engine.

Well that sucks.

 

[TheProfessor234]

Funny, I was right about something for once.

Also, I'm curious to see how this turns out, since a live action trailer really doesn't show off to much at all.

 

[zerragonoss]

I know its unlikely but what I got from that trailer is the guy at the workbench is crating the monsters, and as far as I could tell the genre is not released so what if its some kind of monster creator game survival horror form the other side or a twisted inner psyche showdown as opposed to just run form these monsters normal survival horror and that is why all the monsters are more on the classical side.
