The Evil Within - PAX East In-Game Trailer

I didn't get RE4 vibes from this trailer at all, and I think it will play more similar to Shadows of the Damned than RE4.

Also, this trailer is for the 360/PS3 version, right? right?!

Is that a bad thing? It's a different beast from RE4, so I would hope it doesn't give off the same vibes.
 
Did anyone else notice at 1:06 it appears as if he is being pulled by gravity into the grinders? As if he begins to fall/slide on the ground. I believe if it isn't a force pulling him in, that the room literally flips sending him sliding to his doom.
 
Wow. So, the gameplay looked great. I loved the variety of environments and there were some great scary-looking moments.

But those graphics! Are those REALLY on the PS4? They looked really rough - even for a PS3 game! I don't know; maybe I'm just missing something.
 
Someone from GAF has to be going to PAX and see the demonstration for the game. Maybe they can report on the visuals. I'm almost positive this is last gen footage.
 
Nono, not at all, it's just a reaction to all the gaffers that mentioned something like that.

Yeah, it has received a lot of comparisons to Resi 4 over time, due to the pedigree involved I guess. It always struck me as being more in vein with Silent Hill, but with the craziness dialled up to max.

But didn't the dev say he wanted to return to the days of RE? Resident Evil/Evil Within.

Hopefully by that he meant a return to the proper survival-horror of the early installments, and not the more combat-focused action that became a trend thanks to RE4.

Yes, that's exactly what he meant. As soon as I saw the guy with a chainsaw though, I cringed a little.

Game looks fucking awesome and scary as shit. I'm in Day 1.

I think there is something involving gravity at 1:38 as well.

I doubt its 360/PS3 footage since the trailers are 1080p

Im sure the textures will get cleaned up before release.

It looks nice for the most part, but these textures and character models need work, lighting is nice though, looks like it's the return of classic resident evil in terms of scares though.
 
Besides the 'meh' graphics, this game looks pretty fucking phenomenal. There looks to be a ton of enemy, environment, and scenario diversity...maybe even more so than RE4.

Although I kind of worry that the art style won't feel too cohesive. And going from Leon, who had a super memorable design in RE4, this protagonist just looks so generic. Gotta have more blonde protagonists in games!

I'm shocked at the number of people who didn't bother to scroll down like 8 posts to see the next-gen version of the trailer.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.
 
I'm praying to god that the visuals didn't get downgraded... I really hope that's last gen footage because the textures are really distracting.

while lots of environment diversity can be great, and it is in re4
i kind of hope there isnt in this game
i want a return to something like the mansion. i had been kind of hoping the asylum could be that. it doesn't seem like its going to be, though

It's not often they base a trailer around the weakest version of the game, is it?

Texture work is pretty bad, but the resemblance to Resident Evil 4 is uncanny. The game could have PS2 graphics and it would still look great.

Damn this looks amazing. At first I wasn't sure where it was going but the world and story look creepy as shit. Can't wait for this. I'm also really disturbed the nail in the logo. Its my great hope this is a big more grounded than RE.

If anything it looks and feels a lot wackier and "out there" than RE. And that's saying something.

I guess what I should have said was "coherent." I hope its more coherent than the RE games I've played. I've only played 2, 3 and 4. I just lost the story in those games less than half way through.
 
Has to be last gen footage.

I'm not understanding why it has to be last gen? It's probably just where the game is right now in terms of development. Polish will come later, and all previous trailers are probably made up of content from their vertical slice.

Plus, there's no reason to show last gen. They want to show the best possible version of the game every time it goes public, which is not the 360/PS3 version.
