Support NeoGAF

[Razorskin]

Developer: Red Barrels

Platforms: Windows PC, PS4

Release: September 4th 2013 (PC), TBA 2014 (PS4)

Background:

In the remote mountains of Colorado, horrors wait inside Mount Massive Asylum. A long-abandoned home for the mentally ill, recently re-opened by the “research and charity” branch of the transnational Murkoff Corporation, has been operating in strict secrecy… until now.

Acting on a tip from an inside source, independent journalist Miles Upshur breaks into the facility, and what he discovers walks a terrifying line between science and religion, nature and something else entirely. Once inside, his only hope of escape lies with the terrible truth at the heart of Mount Massive.

Features:

• True Survival Horror Experience: You are no fighter - if you want to survive the horrors of the asylum, your only chance is to run... or hide
• Immersive Graphics: AAA-quality graphics give players a detailed, terrifying world to explore
• Hide and Sneak: Stealth-based gameplay, with parkour-inspired platforming elements
• Unpredictable Enemies: Players cannot know when - and from where - one of the asylum’s terrifying inhabitants will finally catch up to them
• Real Horror: Outlast’s setting and characters are inspired by real asylums and cases of criminal insanity

GIMME!

 

[derFeef]

This looks scary as hell, will play.

 

[phantomspiker]

I have that game sitting in my Steam cart right now.

I'll probably cave soon.

 

[Gbraga]

No funny title?

Preordered already, can't wait.

 

[shinobi602]

 

[kinggroin]

CANNOT WAIT

 

[NJShadow]

I'm not typically a fan of horror-type games, but this looks phenomenal.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Just watched the trailer. Looks cool, but this is a game I am never going to play.

 

[sflufan]

The first Unreal Engine 4 game to be released!

 

[fantomena]

Outlast |OT| How long will you last out?
Outlast |OT| Something to do before Amnesia: Pigs

 

[jediyoshi]

The first Unreal Engine 4 game to be released!

Yeah, I would have imagined they'd be flaunting that at least a bit

 

[Razorskin]

The first Unreal Engine 4 game to be released!

Sadly it's UE3

edit: I believe you are confusing it with Daylight

 

[VanquishUK]

Sadly it's UE3

I think you're wrong.

 

[derFeef]

The first Unreal Engine 4 game to be released!

No, you mean Daylight, which is using UE4.

 

[ashecitism]

Nope, this is UE3. People are confusing this with Daylight. Just look at the UE logos used with both games. With this it's red, with Daylight it's blue and has a 4 in its index.

Ah my google fu pointed me to the other confused gaf thread

 

[sflufan]

Oh goddamnit! I am confusing the two!

Outlast |OT| fantomena, stop

 

[Cade]

Outlast |OT| get REC'd

Nice. My vote's on this.


Game looks interesting; will try on PS4 but it's probably 2spooky4me.

 

[sirap]

Is this Rift enabled? If not, i'll probably wait for the PS4 version.

 

[Razorskin]

Outlast |OT| That indie survival horror game that's not Daylight

 

[Chance Hale]

I thought this was coming out September 14th. Stop releasing so many games ;-; Always get this confused with Daylight though, the Jessica Chobot penned masterpiece to be.

 

[Sparse]

Outlast |OT| How long will you last out?
Outlast |OT| Something to do before Amnesia: Pigs

Outlast |OT| The night is dark and full of Horrors

 

[NoTacos]

Spoiler

Love the use of the night vision cam to see in the dark

 

[ashecitism]

Outlast |OT| That indie survival horror game that's not Daylight

but has CA regardless

to finish it off

 

[AkuMifune]

"In the remote mountains of Colorado, horrors wait inside Mount Massive Asylum."

all I needed to read. insta-buy.

Yeah, exactly the three words I've been waiting to hear: Remote. Horrors. Asylum.

Can't wait!

 

[cchum]

Spoiler

Will buy PS4

 

[SlasherJPC]

Just watched the trailer. Looks cool, but this is a game I am never going to play.

You can watch me go through the torture. Going to record my blind playthrough with a go pro for my face cam on my youtube channel. I won't be crying or whining every second. For the most part going to keep quite other then to comment on a few natural things I might think to myself. I do jump really easy though so... Yeah. I expect shats to be shit.

 

[Zep]

So usually vents are safehavens in videogames...But from what I've seen, not this one. Not sure I can do it man.

 

[metsallica]

Had no idea this was so soon. Neat. Unlike Daylight, this actually looks good.

That warning on the Steam page is kinda great:

Warning:

Outlast contains intense violence, gore, graphic sexual content, and strong language. Please enjoy.

 

[red731]

Great OT!
I just bought it. I know I will shit my pants, but here you go Red Barrels!
Make me shit mah pants.

 

[Sylver]

Looks fun.

 

[derFeef]

What, vents in games are usually the first place to screw you over with a jump scare.

 

[Razorskin]

The camera eats batteries faster than a Sega Game Gear.

 

[element]

I think you're wrong.

It uses UE3. Daylight uses UE4.

 

[Gbraga]

Looks fun.

Oh god, just imagining such a scene with headphones in the dark makes me cry in agony.

I hope it gets Rift support, Oculus Rift seems to be the shit for horror games, I'd probably die though.

Sounds like fun, I'll check it out. I love watching LPs of horror games that I am too chicken to play.

 

[Zushin]

Preordered this and Amnesia, can't wait.

 

[Razorskin]

Will buy PS4

You may not have to, if you're subscribed to PSN Plus when the game releases, It is supposedly going to be free fro the month. (No idea when the PS4 release is)

 

[The English Conquistador]

Condemned? Is that you?!!

Can't wait for this. Been so long since I played a great horror. My fav is still Condemned, and this seems to have a hint of that.

 

[Neuromancer]

Man I don't know if I should get it now or wait for PS4. Decisions, decisions. I really do want it though.

 

[SlasherJPC]

Sounds like fun, I'll check it out. I love watching LPs of horror games that I am too chicken to play.

Here was my reaction to something in Cry of Fear. My friend knew it was coming and wanted me on skype. Told me to record myself. I was not... prepared! He starts bawling in laughter if you listen closely and meanwhile I start to cry (tear up). I am betting on Outlast just terrifying me.

 

[Majmun]

Looks fun.

it does not!!!

 

[Razorskin]

Condemned? Is that you?!!

Can't wait for this. Been so long since I played a great horror. My fav is still Condemned, and this seems to have a hint of that.

No combat in this game though, and has "parkour-inspired platforming elements"

 

[xrayregime]

I felt my nerves being tested during Mirror's Edge. Now we have Mirror's Edge + Silent Hill?

Spoiler

Goodbye to my once clean pants

 

[Stike]

Outlast |OT| You won't last
