Hey everyone, this is Dusk Golem aka AestheticGamer. I have posted on NeoGAF since 2011, and have decided to resign. I have enjoyed posting about horror games here for years, but I no longer wish to support the site and will be leaving for good. I will still be around the internet, I go by AestheticGamer on YouTube, I make games on Steam as Yai Gameworks, and I plan to go by Dusk Golem on other forums. I'll be joining an off-set of the GAF community leaving to try other ventures like ResetEra (Official Twitter for that here: https://twitter.com/reseteraforum ). I hope some of you who read this may consider it, and I plan to try to expose more people to horror games in the years to come. Just not here.

I hope you all are having a good day, and know I always loved the community, and in the end it's the community I'm going to stick with, not the site itself. If you want to follow me, my official Twitter is here: https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1

Unless you need a HDR enabled device for the option to appear, there is not HDR option in the menus.



Does anyone remember how to control the debug free cam in TEW1?

I'm trying to work via teamviewer to my home machine at the moment, I can move the mouse to move the view, but I can't actually move the camera around at all using the Toggledebugcamera via dev console?

Hopefully shadows at high is enough for 60fps on a 970.

I don't know if you'll get a stable 60fps at that res but no matter what is going to run better than in PS4/One.

You'll probably be able to 60 through a few compromises as long as you CPU is decent.

GTX 970
i5 4670k 4.0 Ghz
8 GB RAM

TEW1 runs pretty stable at 1440p/60 FPS with some graphic details dialed down. I think I'll go PC with this one as well, thank you guys. Even 1080/60 would be better than what the PS4 Pro version apparently offers, so this seems a no-brainer.

As Dusk said, you'll be able to use a VPN to unlock the game ahead of time (unless you're in AU, NZ or Asia, of course).

Is this time correct? It's 5 minutes to 3 here in the UK. That timer says another hour.

Technically, yes. In practice, no.

It's technically against Valve's terms of agreements, but I have never heard of anyone being banned for doing it, and it's been done for much bigger releases by many before. Now if you use a VPN to try to BUY it for cheaper in another region, that can get you banned. But if you like, buy it and then play it you're not in trouble really.

I see, thanks.

If I have 1gbps internet, would it be faster to download the whole thing 1 min after launch @110mbps or unpack the preloaded thing, which takes ages sometimes, but I haven't unpacked a game in a long time.

Edit: Oh nvm, 2 posts above me..

So how it works is some chapters of the game's total 17 chapters are set in much bigger levels you can freely explore. You can just go to the next story point if you choose to, or explore and do stuff.

The first example of one of these bigger open explorable levels is fairly early into the game (Chapter 3), and having seen several side-quests from there, here's kind of how side-quests work in the game:

-Rather than talking to an NPC and being told to collect 10 of X or something, they happen more naturally by exploring the environment. You do have a new communicator that can pick up on strange 'signals' within a radius of you. The communicator doesn't pick up on all events in the world or things to find though, just the major and some minor ones, so exploring is still worthwhile without relying on it. This said, there is the occasional NPC, and they can give you a tip of where something useful may be. Or you can just explore and stumble upon it yourself.

-Some side-quests lead to completely optional levels and scenarios you wouldn't otherwise play.

-Some side-quest give you optional cutscenes, extended story, files, and such.

-Some side quests give you exclusive weapons. Like a optional weapon reward spoiler, in Chapter 3 one of the side-quests will give you a
RE4-styled laser sighted handgun
you won't get unless you partake in it.

-Other side-quests are just for additional supplies really, but the game can be surprisingly tight on supplies so it's helpful.

The easiest way for me to explain the side-quests is to compare it to Silent Hill. Imagine someone took the town segments of Silent Hill 1, but made it so now you can explore more buildings and it's a lot more deadly. Then add in some 'stumble upon' side-quests like Silent Hill Downpour had, and biola. That's what The Evil Within's open levels and side-quests are like.

How does the hub area work? Do you go to certain points in it and get warped off somewhere else/different version of the same place like in the first game?

Actually no, I don't think it does now that you mention it. There's a chapter start thing that appears on the screen in gameplay when a new chapter starts, but none when you finish it. Part of this might be because the game has a more grounded structure and you return to sometimes travel to previous areas, to keep the 'flow' going better.

Fantastic- that's how I prefer things to be handled in any type of "seamless" experience.

How much forced stealth is there in this one? Just started playing the first evil within and I'm already bored with the slow forced walking and poor stealth mechanics.

Game revolution review really didn't like the open world parts. Luckily they say the game goes back to the linear awesome setpieces of the original. So that's encouraging, sounds like all the best parts of the encounter design and variety is still in this one when the game is linear.

There's far less forced stealth in the first game once you get through the village section early on

You are about to change your Store & Wallet country to Hong Kong.

Please make sure you have a payment method in this country, otherwise you will not be able to make any purchases.

You Steam country cannot be changed frequently. Once changed, you will not be able to change it again for at least two weeks.


Errrrr..

Just so you know, you can use steam store cards, they'll automatically convert to whatever store region currency you have.
You also don't need to use a VPN after you change it.

For those playing - I have long passed ths chapter but was wondering if anyone knew if there was any rhyme or reason to the scenes where the creen would turn blue and a weird thing would appear.

It's in the open world at Chapter 3 but I assumed it was random....?
