game is like 45gb+ with patches, so it will no doubt come with redeem codes for the DLC in box.

Or another disc maybe? I'm hoping for it all physically.

This was established back in 2011 with Two Worlds 2. There isn't a single person alive that considers that the GOTY of 2011, and yet..
At least they added the "Velvet" part to it - makes it sound like the Purple Heart of GOTY's.

I was disappointed with the DLC gameplay-wise, but it was a worthy conclusion to the questions posed by the base game, and I don't regret buying it.

Looking forward to seeing what Tango will bring considering how great their first game as a studio was.

I felt the same way at first, but I was expecting more action. The scenarios and stuff going on in the DLC was intense and awesome though. That final boss creeped me out and gave me a tense battle. Loved it

It looks like TEW 2 or new IP will have new director since Mikami said he wanted his partners worked on new games

Yep. It's a favorite horror game of mine and I've played most of em. Now let's see some bleeding affects into the real world shall we? Hehe.
Yea I meant gameplay wise it was really bad, it did have a great atmosphere and presentation like in the main game and some nice story bits (though I was still pretty confused after it), I'm not sure it's worth buying though, might be enough to watch it on YouTube, depends on your tolerance for the pretty bad gameplay.

If TEW 2 happens, I can see Mikami giving the director's chair to Tango's 'Kamiya', and directing something new himself, assuming Tango is big enough for two projects, that is.
I did have some fun with it. The last boss of the 2nd DLC was even pretty awesome. I just really hated the fact that I had to do so much stealth and hiding. It was a poor way to follow up such an exemplary action/horror title imo, and a waste of potential. Here's hoping the sequel lets me shoot lots of stuff all over again.

While I'm not sure on the size, it was recently revealed they are hiring for experienced programers, etc.
At least they removed the black bars recently, they are getting better!
But I loved the art style of this game, including all the post process effects and film grain, it had a fantastic look, even though technically it was far from being impressive.
Yea OK final boss was pretty cool, you are right about the stealth and hide gameplay being bad, I can see they really put a lot of effort into it, it's not like Batman's DLC when they are using some leftovers, but it didn't work out for them, the main campaign gameplay is just much superior in every way.

Wikipedia says they have about 65 staff members, against PlatinumGames' 171. Given that PG worked on no more than two big titles at once until recently, I'd say Tango doing the same might be a stretch, although not impossible if they're expanding.

The DLC was pretty bad.
If you've been waiting for the GOTY edition, just pick up the regular edition for $20 now. You won't miss out on anything.

It was definitely the Velvetiest game I played that year.

Why even bother games within the first year of their release at this point?

Impatience, and a strange need to be "current" on things.
Most games gets shit tons of patches during the first year as well, no reason to get games on release games anymore.
MP games are an exception though.

game of the year varies from a shit ton of different publication places, i know this game won game of the year at bloodydisgusting website last year lol. There are no set websites that define game of the year everything is someones opinion lol.
however yeah "game of the year" now just means ultimate edition and has for over a decade.
You must have missed the Dead Island GOTY Edition.

I am getting The Evil Within from gamefly today. I am excited to give it a try. It's funny how most of the hate towards the game does not concern the gameplay. I wonder how many of the negative reaction is coming from PC-side gamers.
hey_it's_that_dog
benevolent sexism
But on PC there was a chance that it ran well... Technical hate should be coming from console players.
I really wanted to like this game but it just felt sloppy from top to bottom, even setting aside the poor performance and FOV.
Additionally, the kind of horror it was going for also did pretty much nothing for me. I don't think disjointed, hallucinatory nonsense is scary in a game. My favorite horror element was poking needles into bisected heads. That was creepy and gross without relying on my investment in a "what is real and what is not?" narrative.
I might try it again on PC if it's ever 5 bucks.
Because you actually want to play them and most DLC is bad anyway?

I don't follow. Care to explain that?
I'm one of the people saying they love the game and I've played it on PC, which is the only platform where you can play this with a decent frame-rate.

Not before God Hand 2 dammit.
Because it was a middling game that ran like shite.

That would be awesome as well!
It did get some GOTY awards, here is proof:

Salt...confirmed. While had performance issues on consoles, PC was much smoother. As for middling, the game seems to strike the definition of love it or hate it. It's pretty devising among the crowd. Does not make it a terrible game in the slightest and for some on gaf and others, it was a goty. So really, it's not as absurd as you want to make it sound.

The story was incredibly average but the game itself was fantastic. It felt like it struck a decent balance between the more action orientated segments of newer Resident Evil games and the more survival like elements of the originals.
Really loved it, might give it another play with this new patch.

The first time you fight boxhead in that poison gas, that really was impossible for me with how bad the frames dropped -- especially when running. May have been bearable for you but it definitely had technical issues.
it's cheaper to buy it preowned around 10-15 quid + season pass is on sale on uk psn store for 7,50 quid
Did the Season Pass discount happen recently and is it for a limited time? I see it is $13.49 on US PSN. I always thought I'd wait to pick it up until October when I assume it would be heavily discounted, but this changes things potentially.
Add the new design choices from the DLC too, like the haunted glowing yellow and red.

What website did it win GOTY from, www.theevilwithin.com?
I picked up the base game on PS4 for ~$10 a few months ago. I was just considering getting the season pass during this week's sale for $13.50, but was finding it easy to resist since I'm not even half way through the game yet and haven't played it in a month.
I might sell this version for a few bucks and eventually pick up the complete edition for less than $20 in the not-too-distant future.
