The Evil Within 2 - Gameplay Trailer

Crossing Eden

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
Lighting and to a lesser extent models looks way better than the first game, are they still using the same engine? Shooting looks way less janky too.

I'm in, totally loved the first and proud of my Platinum trophy. Hoping for more of the same with post-game support.
 
Everything looks fantastic except for that Shotgun. It needs more OOMPH. Here's more footage from yesterday as well.

Could be a masterpiece if they fix some things. Dont have a ton of faith in that but it should be good regardless.

Yeah, this looks fantastic. Gunplay seems so much better and more polished too. These trailers may be brief, but from what I've seen so far, this is looking like it will be everything I hoped it would be.
 
I just finished watching that trailer, WHY DIDN'T THEY SHOW THAT AT E3 INSTEAD the trailer here looks so so much better than the crap we got at the conference with the CG.

It's awesome that I was actually getting REmake vibes from watching this new trailer, you can clearly see the RE1 influence location design wise, given the fact that this isn't RE related at all. I also like the enemy with the saw blade that briefly appears and the masked pyrotechnic too. That gameplay trailer does make the game look better than the 1st game's trailers and couped with the fact the game's world is non linear, does sound like a Silent Hill game where there is some exploration but it's not open world per se.

Kidman and Laura coming back are the 2 biggest disappointments but as long as they don't play a big role in the story that's fine.

Just what I wanted. Fantastic creature design, more weird psycho shit (hope the story is easier to follow this time though^^) and gameplay will be great anyway (Mikami games always have fantastic gameplay).
 
Think I might need to give the first another chance. Only played about an hour because the combat felt like a poor RE4 imitator. But if the first game as a whole is as surreal and intense as this looks, I probably need to play it

Never played the first game, but form what I've seen, this game looks like a considerable improvement across the board.

Chapter 3 and later is a weird mix of RE4, REmake, and like The Last of Us. It works more than not.

The combat design in TEW is so good. It doesn't reallyyyy play like RE4 either, with more emphasis on using traps and matches to create spacing than melee stuns.

It was a game with lots of variety. Some levels were strong in the survival horror part with heavey focus on resource management and stealth, others were more focused in the psychological horror angle, others were built around bosses, others were actiony.
 
Now let's hope it's not an unoptimized mess on PC. I originally opted out of the Xbox One X, but I'm getting sick of shitty ports. My 390X is just as powerful as the One X so it should run 4K fine. Assuming it'll have the upgrade.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
OK, now this trailer looks a lot better than the death-stranding esque nonsense lol.

Definitely interested in the faster-paced game play.
