RE4 + Silent Hill + Siren = This.
Its perfect.
Its perfect.
Dino Crisis and God Hand bad?for games Mikami directed there is a weird pattern/cycle going on
guess it's a good thing he is not the director on this one.
Get the hell out and never come back.
And P.N.03
Oh my fucking god. Someone paste that ass gif, I don't have it at the moment.
Exactly my point. Despite what internet trolls like to tell themselves, Wii U falls into the latter category.
It's not alien technology, though. Wii U "architecture" is more in line with other next gen systems than with last gen stuff (this has been talked to death over the last two years) And it's based on IBM's PowerPC thing, iirc so it's definitely not another Cell situation.
As I said repeatedly, it's unlikely but not impossible.
Masafumi Takada works at Tango...!
So I'm trolling now...nope.Many publishers and developers don't consider it next gen,are they trolling according to you?

I hope it's true survival horror. Some of the pics/artwork makes it look more like an RE4 action game

They've already mentioned it'll have action. I'm guessing this will be like RE 4 but hopefully not as much focus on loads of weapons?

I've never been more ready for the triumphant return of Survival Horror. I'm counting on this game to usher this glorious genre back into it's rightful place.

I can't believe people are raving about this. The trailer is a piece of shit.
I love me some fresh survival(?) horror IPs but that didn't sell me at all.

Strange rankings aside.. he really invented modern survival horror (alone in the dark is a veeery different beast), so I'd say you want him involved in a project like this.
Also, he's not the director?

...and by read more he means start with the OP before reading through the thread.
Most questions about why people are raving can be answered in the OP
If not, it at least provides context to what people are explaining to the rest of Gaf
sorry for being a d*ck...long sick day at work
basically...

next gen mikami survival horror (maybe with Masafumi Takada sprinkled in)
So yeah, I -really- love that live-action trailer. The music is excellent. All of the different shots of the monsters are excellent. Even the simple shots of Sebastian prepping the barbwire has real tension to it.
We can possibly deduce a few things about several monsters from the trailer.
1) "Safe-head" -- The vault he has for a head appears to be filled with writhing tentacles... yet he also walks around carrying a mallet. Perhaps he ensnares his victims with the tentacles and then mashes them to death with the mallet?
2) "Spider-woman" -- Likening her to a spider might not be apt, since she has six limbs (two legs, four arms). At any rate, we see her climbing walls and contorting her body all Exorcism-like in one sequence. We also see her materialize out of a pool of blood. The in-game screenshot of her also shows her surrounded by blood and corpses. Perhaps she teleports from one pool of blood to another?
3) "Glass-man" -- The angry bald fellow who resembles a pincushion of glass shards... May or may not be related to the skinless corpse wrapped in barbwire. We know Sebastian will explore environments filled with traps set by his enemies, and can turn the traps against them. Perhaps in the video, when we see Sebastian clipping the barbwire, we're seeing him turn the Glass-man's trap against him?
I love this stuff. This game, like RE4 before it, seems to be taking everything awesome about the horror genre and condensing it into one amazing game.

ID Tech 5... not sure how I feel about that. What's the advantage of using that engine in a game with intimate environments (mainly streets and hallways, not exactly where megatextures shine). I see they say they have some new lighting tricks up their sleeves (megatextures don't handle dynamic lighting originally).

They don't need online and they're going to release it on Steam, there's the solution. Also I thought we were over this PC piracy crap.

Delicious. I will rub this game all over my body. Looks like everything I wanted from a Survival Horror rebirth.
That is a damn good lineup of talent at Tango, I have confidence they are doing good things.

RE4 village fight 2.0 please. I want to be thrown to the fucking wolves from the very beginning.

My current theory is that this is the beginning of the game after he awakens, supported that it doesn't appear our character has any weapons from the off-set, just a lantern. It is conceptual, but I think this is what they maybe had in mind:

The evil within, one could say it's a... resident evil.
Also, it's not happening on Wii U. People need to learn to deal. Publishers aren't "trolling," it's business.

Aside from the shotgun on his back?

I was looking at that one but changed since it didn't have anything to do with my point. However, it also could be something else as its concept art-ish.
I'm still curious about the screens, as I am sure they weren't supposed to be released since IGN no longer has them up, but I am happy we have them at least to work with a bit more than a teaser for visuals.
Aside from the shotgun on his back?
Pft, I didn't even fully see that. XD Well, there goes my theory.
I do say this does look promising. A little bit of what looks to be old worm charm added in and gotta love the 'man in the box' and what he's doing, though kind of getting a little bit of a pyramid head feel to him. Most likely an alternate version of him while the 4-armed chick is his dead wife/sister he accidentally killed? I'm sure the game's going to be some sort of mind trip, I just hope it doesn't feel or try to be anything like any of the good Silent Hill games (1-4).

I don't think this is intentional, but I was discussing with someone at Rely on Horror, we're both excited for the game, but he pointed out the Safe Head looks an awfully lot like something that appeared as an Easter Egg in Silent Hill: Book of Memories:
I don't think it's intentional, in SH:BoM it is obviously a parody of Silent Hill and Pyramid Head, just sort of coincidental with the box-head, hammer weapon, and apron thing.

This... just makes no sense to me. Surely you've seen the kind of numbers games can do on PC? How could having a PC version possibly result in drastically less sales than not having one? I just don't see that at all.
I'm glad this game is using Tech 5 instead of boring old UE3. The screenshots look great, and I like the direction they are heading from the info that's been released.

Dat Skyrim money at work.
Piracy on PC doesn't seem as rampant as it used to be. Doesn't seem like the cool thing to do anymore. Everyone I know has an online platform they like to purchase their games through and with all the sales and bundles and lower cost same day releases it's really hard for me to find anyone who does this anymore. The only person I know off hand who still bootlegs is a friend of my brother's who is a 26 year old jobless drunk who lives with his mom...

Resident Evil 4-2
Probably not in its impact on the industry, but this feels like it can be a game on that scale and with that kind of quality. The team assembled, the budget, the dev time, the publisher backing. I can feel it.
