Outlast 11-Minute PS4 Gameplay Demo

I've been interested in this since I,read,about it on PS blog, but it being a Plus title is great news!

And to those concerned about Plus freebies making money, I liken it a movie production, but altered a bit: Sony pays the developer a nice fee for putting the game up for free on Plus, and they make their money back through PS+ subscriptions, which allow them to license more titles, which encourages more Plus subscriptions. In short, the developer has already been paid thanks to your subscription to Plus.

Also, perhaps the game uses the DS4's touchpad for looking around as an alternate to the right stick. Might explain the quick movements.
 
Some of animation needs slightly tweaking, for example, the way he grabs out for batteries is quite comical - otherwise it's looking and sounding rather good! I think it's especially good to see several decent looking survival horror titles making their way to the PS4 too ... I was starting to worry that most of them would be PC exclusive.
 
Super intense, I love the contextual "peek around the corner" mechanic [reminded me of Thief].

I'm way too much of a pansy for these types of games, but it looks great, great atmosphere.
 
looks really good, great use of filters/effects to simulate the camcorder & night vision mode. it's actually a bit disappointing that the entire thing isn't from the point of view of the camcorder (i.e the camcorder is placed on the ledge above & you watch your character clamber up through it) to make it seem like the entire thing is being watched back. tutorial & narrative could be issued up via the main character talking to himself/the camera, as if documenting & narrating the whole thing on the fly ala the blair witch project. i also think there should be absolutely no music during the game just ambient drones, perhaps the camera itself (great work on capturing the plastic-y creaks), air conditioning systems, electrics etc. i think that would be fantastic.
regardless, this seems really interesting & i liked a lot of what i saw.
 
WOW this game looks fantastic. Have no idea how I missed this. The atmosphere in this game is mouth watering. Looking forward to getting this on ps4.
 
How can it be one of the first PS+ games if it's a 2014 game?

They said at the press conference that there will be one free game per month for PS4 on PS+, including THOSE (picture). So it will come to PS+ but won't be the first of the free games.

I think Drive Club PS+ Edition will be the first free game, since it is designated as a launch title.
 
Really like the look of this!

That is always the last instruction you want to be seeing in sneaking around horror game where don't have any weapons:
Hold L1 too run away like a crazy mad fecker!!!! Seriously, it's not that anything bad is going to happen.
 
Any chance of it being a launch title for PS4 now?

I'm not sure but maybe the order of the indie titles listed as part of the PS+ IGC is representative of their release order? I'd imagine they'd string those freebies out once a month. Don't Starve at launch, Outlast the following month (or a few weeks late)r, then Secret Ponchos.
 
Looks really good but man do I want to stab my eyes out watching the video. Needs to seriously cut back on the noise, DOF blur over everything and chromatic aberation effect.
 
If I played this game alone at home with headphones, I would probably get a heart attack. I don't know how people can play these damn horror games! I had a tough time beating Dead Space I and Dead Space II....I couldn't play either one for more than 15 minutes

Not everyone is a chicken like you!
 
Man oh man I can't wait to play this! Knowing me though I'll probably turn into a pansy and get too scared to finish it.
 
Its was confirmed for 2014.

Really? I must've missed that :\ I know they recently announced the PC version to launch on 9/4, but my understanding was that those three indie games that Sony announced at E3 as part of PS+ subscribers Instant Game Collection-- Don't Starve, Outlast, and Secret Ponchos-- would all be available by the end of this year.

“The PS4 version of Outlast will come out early 2014, so we will focus on it after we launch on PC this summer. The PS4 has exciting features, but at this point we can’t commit for sure about anything specific,” he said.

Secret Poncho's is also a 2014 title.


That only leaves DriveClub, Don't Starve, and some unannounced game for PS4 PS+ this year if they launch in November.

Thanks for the links! Yeah, that's disappointing that neither Outlast or SP will be in the 2013 window. I can't really whine since I've got plenty to play on my PS3 and will likely be picking up Watch Dogs, Knack, and perhaps one more title this year (not including PS+ freebies) should a surprise be announced at Gamescom or TGS.
 
You guys are all pussy, harden the f up. No wonder there are so many virgin on gaf.

That comment....combined with that avatar....

On topic, this game looks pretty good, especially for an indie. What I gather from the video, battery power is going to be a pretty limited resource, which makes for even more tense situations than limited ammo, etc.
 
So .. speaking of PS+ and what it gets you for the ps4... if you have + already it's going to carry directly over to the ps4 i would assume... correct?
Just put your psn account info in and bam off to the races? I'm about to jump in on the PS3 psn+ in the next few days and i just wanna be sure that I won't have to do anything twice when the ps4 comes out.

Yup. One Plus sub covers both PS3 and PS4 (and Vita), so you'll get your freebies from both if you play with both consoles.
 
Here it is:

* Don't Starve
* Outlast
* Secret Ponchos

All three will be free for PS+ on PS4.

And DriveClub Plus Edition too by the way...

I can't remember. Do we know if they will be free for the first month of PS4 PS+ or part of the Instant Game Collection for PS4 or just what they plan to roll out for PS+ members on PS4 over a few months?

EDIT: never mind. finished reading the thread after watching the video and now know that some of them are 2014 games.
