The man has a gift

 

[Dusk Golem]

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

 

[Kudo]

This is good. Looking forward to the trailer!

 

[Lord of Castamere]

hmm. Weird that it's getting the ads when Wolf is rumored for Oct.

 

[MetalGearZed]

So how awesome is the first game? I played like the opening ten minutes at my friend's house and figured it was the same thing as Outlast.

When will people realize that every horror isn't Outlast?

any i have mixed impressions with TEW. its not really bad but its not really good either imo

 

[Jawbreaker]

How's the PC version these days?

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Nice. Never played the first one. Heard too many bad things that turned me off.

But if they can correct the issues in 2 and polish it up, I'm on board.

I loved it.

 

[Demoskinos]

Yassssssss so excited. Really loved the first game almost got through the game on Akumu mode but got distracted.

 

[-MD-]

It's good, always been the best way to play the game.

This could only mean one thing, Onimusha!

 

[PensivePen]

Considerably improved from the original release. Still doesn't run amazingly, but it definitely seems a lot better optimized than the console versions.

 

[Neiteio]

So for those curious, if all the mumblings are true, the game will be out soon, no specific date but Tango is apparently crunching the game right now to finish it and the leaked employment form had the work for Q&A go on to Halloween, which might mean this game is releasing in the October/November range.

If they can pull it off, Halloween is best for obvious reasons

 

[ForkNetwork]

Hopefully we"ll see an AC1 to AC2 jump, somehow.

The quality of the chapters was so uneven that it's difficult to qualitfy it as a good game. It has good shooting mecanics though.

Some of the levels had some serious framerate issues too (like sub 15fps)

 

[Neiteio]

Oh man, I just realized Laura might come back. Not sure I can handle that again... The tension was excruciating. Scariest monster ever.

 

[malfcn]

Oh lawd. First was sublime. A little polish and it will be great. Bring the shine on.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Awesome!

 

[theyturkerjurbs]

I literally need this in my life. First is a 10 for me, warts and all. I really think a more polished Mikami directed sequel could have the potential to become a bona fide classic. Maybe even Re4 quality. Mark my words.

😀

I thought it was fine, and it had a lot of technical issues...

Then I played it on AKUMU mode and fucking hated it. I think that difficulty straight up soured my taste on this game.

 

[kamandi]

Good news. With better controls and performance this time, i hope.

 

[Tohsaka]

Nice, looking forward to it.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Does this ad absolutely confirms the game? There's no way it's an elaborate prank right?

 

[Rymuth]

Didn't care for the game but I'm genuinely glad Mikami gets to eat.

Hoping for a massive improvement over the original and I may very well get this.

 

[big fake]

Huber send good vibes for a new Vanquish please. Thanks Huber!

Opposite for me. Akumu took it from good to near goty. Actually if I had played it in 2014 it would have probably been my goty.

 

[JaseC]

Hopefully they learned from the first.

AND PLEASE DROP ID TECH

It's going to be an id Tech game. In-house engine = no licensing or royalty fees.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

YASSSSS QUEEEEEEN

OUR DELIVERANCE IS AT HAND

 

[EekumBokum]

Can't wait for this, I'm starved for 3rd person horror games and the 1st was amazing.

 

[Neiteio]

Oh man, maybe just maybe Bethesda will also announce story DLC for DOOM.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

It would be great if the 2nd game would use a different engine, but that won't happen right?At least I hope they'll use id Tech 6.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Lets see if it can top RE7.

 

[Autoignition]

How the hell am I supposed to sleep tonight??

Someone hold me.

 

[SkylineRKR]

I redownloaded the first to try on the Pro yesterday. But rumours were around for some time already. Love TEW.

 

[Nasser]

Loved the first one. Good stuff

 

[sjay1994]

Opposite for me. Akumu took it from good to near goty. Actually if I had played it in 2014 it would have probably been my goty.

When did you play it?

Because back in 2014 a death meant a loading screen equivalent to pre patch bloodborne.

It's going to be an id Tech game. In-house engine = no licensing or royalty fees.

Then they better have optimized that shit.

 

[Gospel]

He later went on to say that the higher ups at Bethesda weren't really happy about him saying it would be his last role as a director, and also that he doesn't have to do as much work running Tango anymore since Bethesda became their publisher, so directing another game wasn't off the table.

Whew, that's dope then.

 

[OniBaka]

I got the platinum, think I died around 120 times in akumu.

 

[sjay1994]

I also got the platinum.

Fuck that section in the burning building where Joseph has to open a door for you.

 

[Arsenic13]

Mikami better bring the heat now that Resident Evil 7 is out and is fantastic.

 

[TheGameshark]

Really curious to see what the graphical leap will be from the first one to 2.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Man I'm so excited. I really enjoyed the first one! Excited to see what they can do when not confined to making it run on last gen consoles.

Hope they move onto a new engine though. id Tech didn't jive well with what they were trying to do in the TEW. Not sure if id has improved, but I'd love to see the sequel run on UE4.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

Really curious to see what the graphical leap will be from the first one to 2.

I hope they'll fix the streaming stuff and some low poly textures.
Rest was fine after some patches. I hope Mikami will this time won't use that "cinematic" feel.

 

[Neiteio]

First one is a masterpiece. TEW has the super-tight shooting mechanics, journey-like pacing and variety, and scope/scale of RE4, and the suffocating atmosphere, punishing difficulty, and carefully calibrated game balance of REmake, walking the fine line between resource starvation and player empowerment. The focus on crafting traps was especially brilliant. Story and lore is amazing once you understand it. Creature designs, especially the bosses, are some of the best in horror.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Beyond excited. I hope they keep and refine the overall gameplay systems and give us more of that amazing art direction. Can't wait to see what it looks like in action tomorrow.

He later went on to say that the higher ups at Bethesda weren't really happy about him saying it would be his last role as a director, and also that he doesn't have to do as much work running Tango anymore since Bethesda became their publisher, so directing another game wasn't off the table.

I'm still confused why Mikami went with Bethesda in the first place, seems like an odd match.

Did nobody else offered him a deal?

 

[LegendX48]

Now I have a reason to watch their show.

AND PLEASE DROP ID TECH

Yes, please, for the love of all that is good in the world, this!!!

 

[Icolin]

It's that time of year again. Too much hype.

 

[Autoignition]

Man I'm so excited. I really enjoyed the first one! Excited to see what they can do when not confined to making it run on last gen consoles.

Hope they move onto a new engine though. id Tech didn't jive well with what they were trying to do in the TEW. Not sure if id has improved, but I'd love to see the sequel run on UE4.

They were hiring for people with UE4 experience I believe it was last year, so I'm almost positive TEW2 will be a UE4 game.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

Well ZeniMax acquired his studio, so it seem makes sense he's bound to them.

 

[Neiteio]

Mikami better bring the heat now that Resident Evil 7 is out and is fantastic.

TEW is like 10 times harder and scarier than RE7, and like three times as long, so Mikami should be able to manage.
