That's what I thought. The way to advertise a game is to show gameplay, none of this was in-engine, which means I have nothing to analyse, nothing to help me decide whether I want this game or not. I suppose it created some hype, and I do want to see what the game looks like, but I didn't really SEE anything here.ThreeKneeNick said:
I'm actually really excited for this game. I kinda wish it was Fallout 4 but hopefully bethesda themselves are working on that.
I'm always up for a haunted house and a good scare.

If they are working on Fallout 4, I would expect them to announce it at E3. And I suspect that Bethesda doesn't want to hype up The Evil Within too much, as the hype could backfire if the game doesn't deliver, like many games that Bethesda publishes but doesn't develop.
I just don't see the appeal of horror games. Why on Earth would I WANT to intentionally scare myself?
Live-action trailers are very off-putting to me and I wasn't altogether too thrilled by this. Still, I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic. It's been a while since the last AAA horror game and I trust them to get it right.

they had a wonderfully effective ad campaign going that allowed people's imaginations to do all the work more effectively than any amount of special effects and air time could...... then shat all over it with a trailer that somehow manages to shatter all mystery yet explain nothing. now all i know about the game is that the ridiculous gore reminds me of evil dead and someone is trying to rip-off pyramid head. really not the first impression you want for a horror game.
Yes that sums up this whole exchange.cursedseishi said:
Honestly I find myself wondering if you have actually read anything I have posted in this at all.
Under normal circumstances I would not give much merit to cut to the quick and just explain it, but honestly I have better things to do and I lack the patience to slog through it all.
So here.
1: Uhm? You are wrong. I most certainly did NOT bring up Mikami in my original post. That was a fabrication on your part. The only "mention" of Resident Evil in my OP was simply referencing a single piece of content in the doberman jump scare. That and that I played numbered installments 1-5(plus spin offs) was the entire extent of mention of RE in my OP. To suggest otherwise is again fabrication on your part. You then assume that because I was unimpressed with Bethesda announcing a new IP that it in any way shape or form mattered to me who was doing the work on it. Just because you might find that important does not mean anyone else does and did not make this person register as anything more than developer with a squiggly sounding name to me.
Yes, as you had already deduced what I was talking about was Call of C`thulu, which property agreements are moot to the context of what I had said. It is a perfectly good IP dying to be explored. I did not say they own the rights. I did not suggest anything other than it is an IP that needs PROPER treatment. Given Bethesdas past with the IP, and making a survival horror esque title its disappointing they would go with a new IP instead of trying to make a better offering than the last one they made with the C`thulu mythos. Again, anything more than that is fabrication on your part.
2id you come out and say I was wrong? No. What other purpose was there for you to quote asking what IP I was referring to and are already in the process of eliminating potential answers before you have even finished? You already had it made up in your mind what I was talking about, or else you would not have eliminated what was from Capcoms catalog. Only problem was that it became quickly apparent that your assumptions were way off base. Now on this hostility thing, you are seriously misinterpreting the intent. The purpose of that line was of a figure of speech. It was meant to convey what was occuring. Someone getting pissy despite not having a reason to because what they are getting pissy about isnt even real.
Now, I was never arguing. This was never a debate. I stated my opinion, and you felt compelled to chime in to "correct" it. Applying rules of debate does not turn someones opinion into a debate.
And here we are again back on this same point. I "mentioned" one scene in a resident evil game. You assume that was the IP I was referencing. I mean perhaps that would be a valid assumption if I had yanno referenced them within the same thought, but the mention of the RE franchise isnt even in the same paragraph of pointing to an established IP over creating a new one.

That has been the depth of this entire exchange between us. You started it off by making assumptions. As I cast doubt on your assumptions you have continued to layer more and more assumptions in response. So honestly this is the last fodder I give to make more misinterpretations based on assumptions on. So having explained fully what we both meant I am not going to continue to waste my, your, or the forums time trying to correct misunderstandings. None the less, I appreciate the discussion. I am at my end in this thread so best of luck and have a nice day.
I've lost about 99% interest in games in general, but this may be worth holding onto the 360 for, a good lights off all nighter run through. And it's Bethesda so I'm happy, the only thing they screwed up was Brink but this should be good.
I just reeeeally really hope they don't fuck it and give the player character super powers or heavy weaponry, since that kills horror games instantly. The reason Condemned and Amensia were so good is because you only had a blunt object or nothing at all, the reason Dead Space or Fear doesnt look scary at all is because you have powers and heavy weapons out the wazoo.

As big of a horror fan as I am, that didn't catch my interest. Maybe if I knew what the game is supposed to be about, besides possibly a barbed wire craftmaking simulator, I'd care more.
Also, Safe Head looks kind of silly.
If it looks good once they release more information, then I'll be interested, but this hasn't really caught my attention.

I agree. Its cool to see them working on something while ESO is being made. THough I think that is being done by Zenimax.Moonlight Butterfly said:
Fallout 4 should be interesting. I hope either that they are working on it like you said, or they gave it to Obsidian. But I can't see Obsidian doing it right now with Project Eternity and Avellone now involved in Torment: Tides of Numenera. Has Bethesda ever made a horror game?

OT: I hope this game isn't going to go the Dead Space route of "gross out horror" where the only horror is just blood and guts n' whatnot. The trailer was sort of a mix between "grotesque, Lovecraftian horror" and just plain "gross out horror", so it should be interesting to see where they officially go with it.
The statement "My team and I are committed to creating an exciting new franchise, providing fans the perfect blend of horror and action" makes me simultaneously roll my eyes and shake my head, as it just shows how much PR blathering developers do nowadays. I expect either the action part or the horror part of this game to suck. Every game must be a "blend" of "x and action", as if horror itself can't keep the audience entertained. Depending on the gameplay mechanics, I may just be jaded enough to brush this off.
Of course I am being extremely cynical. The slightly not-jaded part of me is intrigued at this. Could be interesting, and it's always nice to get a new IP out in this industry.
Ugh... How incredibly, mediocre looking.
At least show what the in-game graphics look like. Otherwise it just looks like a generic horror mash up video.
Also, has one of the youtube comments points out:
Isn't Evil Within pretty close to the same thing as Resident Evil?
Captcha: that's hot.... Apparently the Captcha is a sadist now.
