Could anyone else hear that beeping sound at around 4:08? I'm worried I'm going mental or my headphones are acting up.
Yeah, I heard it too and thought my computer was about to go haywire; apparently it's just a truck backing up and Yahtzee didn't bother to re-record that part of the video.Genocidicles said:Could anyone else hear that beeping sound at around 4:08?

Yup definitely beeping, went on for a bit and eventually stopped.Genocidicles said:Could anyone else hear that beeping sound at around 4:08? I'm worried I'm going mental or my headphones are acting up.
People like to say RE4 ruined Resident Evil, but the series wasn't really doing that much better before that. The last stand-out entry was REmake, and that was... a remake. Code Veronica was meh, and when REZero came out they were scraping the bottom of the barrel. And it became obvious how desperately Capcom was trying to maneuver within the ever cramping 'pre-rendered background' space, by adding in new mechanics just for the sake of new mechanics. And with the Hookman demo they just started throwing in ghosts, because Christ, what else are they gonna do with this franchise!?Thanatos2k said:The game is like RE4? Wow, I have seen no promotional materials or articles written that seemed to suggest that. Marketing in games is completely broken.
The biggest problem is that RE4 is barely a horror game. Capcom doesn't understand this either, but Resident Evil 4 ruined the Resident Evil series. Because it was such a good game, Capcom mistakenly thought that this is what people wanted out of Resident Evil and horror in general. Nope. RE4 was just a really good game, but it wasn't a good Resident Evil or Survival Horror game.
And so we have another game dancing about how it's such a great horror game that modeled itself after RE4 without understanding why.
Except Capcom had nothing to do with Evil Within and the only times Shinji Mikami directed Resident Evil was RE1 and RE4 (RE2 and 3 he was just a producer).Thanatos2k said:The game is like RE4?

Damnit, ninjad'!thaluikhain said:Heh, liked the boxing glove at the end, you knew something was going to happen, but I'd not guessed that.
You misunderstand. I'm saying they took the same approach to horror that Capcom did after RE4 because of RE4. Which is to say, the wrong direction.Ulquiorra4sama said:Except Capcom had nothing to do with Evil Within and the only times Shinji Mikami directed Resident Evil was RE1 and RE4 (RE2 and 3 he was just a producer).Thanatos2k said:The game is like RE4?

The way Evil Within plays didn't really come as a surprise to me at all considering Mikami's history with games like Shadows of the Damned, RE4, and Devil May Cry 1. The guy just doesn't actually do horror, he does action games dressed up as horror.
Pretty sure the only time a game Mikami's directed got a jump out of me was that burning zombie that hides in a locker in RE4.
Or they just don't have the same opinion of the game, which seems to be the case for a lot of people with this one.Darth_Payn said:And that Miracle of Sound song Gavin wrote for this game made it look so good, too! Well, that at least is a testament of his skill as a performer.
