I really do hope that isn't PC footage. I know it's still pretty far off, but yeesh.
Anyway of finding out for sure? Perhaps someone could tweet PewDiePie?
It really is a brilliant marketing choice...especially for a game like this that's flying a bit under the radar and could use some more exposure.
I just didn't know publishers actually did this kind of stuff before, but I like it. I don't really care how I get the new footage, so long as I get it!
You can actually upgrade the length you can run before slowing down.

Yeah true. But I'm really only talking about his horrors games not his other games. Dino Crisis, Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3, Killer 7, (The brilliant) Resident Evil 4 and even Shadows of the Damned to a lesser extent. Sure SotD is more humours but the environments, enemy designs, pacing, gameplay all have those Mikami staples which again, aren't about cheap scares. The dogs jumping through the window in RE1, but how much of the rest of the game was like that? They don't throw obvious jump scares at you. They use suspense and tension building with a story that's set around the characters and their interactions in certain situations; all the while being in a setting that has mystery around it. TEW does the same.
Just from looking at the gameplay footage and settings you can it has the level of respect for player by not being a half-arsed attempt at being scary.
You're not a no-named person running around a theme park looking at cheap uninspired attractions like Amnesia or Indie Horror Game X but: Leon in Europe, Claire in Raccoon City, Dan Smith in alternate Earth etc etc.
I disagree with this games marketing completely. But because Bethesda can't(aren't smart enough) show this game how it really is, they instead market it for PewDiePie fans....but I can't deny it's an effective marketing trick.

They have phenomenal gameplay, which is what matters most in the end.

I love the atmosphere.
Jeez, Pewdiepie's voice is so annoying, even when he's not screaming.

Don't be silly, it's not exclusive.

I guess I hadn't seen much of this, I'm surprised at how similar a lot of the gameplay elements are to The Last of Us.

I hate how people always turn threads into PDP hate-a-thons. It's fine to dislike someone but telling everyone else here how much you hate him is just whining
Anyway the game doesn't look AS good as I had hoped. The framerate is awful and it's a bit overly combat heavy, but then again that could just be that particular area. The visuals are rough as hell as well, would love to know what version it is.
Either I've played too many horror games or it's different when playing but I wasn't feeling the tension. Probably just cos I'm watching it instead of playing

Surprised it plays like TLOU instead of RE.
Let's see if I'll buy it:
TLOU-like control scheme: +5
Looks rough: -2
Scary shit: -1000
=-997 NOPE

Frame rate sucks.
Who the hell is this guy? His voice is so annoying.

It's quite sad really the fuck happened?
I never thought very highly of idTech 5, megatextures are horrible, and Rage has this awful static/inert feeling, but at least the performance is strong.
I imagine the documentation isn't great in Japanese. A few years ago when I checked all the staff list, there was certainly no shortage of staggering talent, so I don't think that's the issue. They've certainly had long enough on the project too.
Who knows, maybe they'll turn it around before launch.

I'd love to watch it, but I'm really reluctant to give that Youtube 'personality' a hit, so I'll refrain.
Man, I really hope this game turns out well though - I feel like it could go either way at this point. Hopefully that delay paid off.

Gameplay was fantastic. PewDiePie can be tolerable sometimes.

They should have just used whatever engine Vanquish was using. Mikami's team had mastery of that engine to an art form. Never really understood why they decided to use an engine they are clearly unfamiliar with and likely still aren't since it's seems like it'll be lucky if this game has a locked 30 let alone 60 plus black bars.
I don't get it. Bethesda could have absorbed the costs and project would have almost certainly gone along faster. I would imagine such learning how to use such an engine would take quite a hit to the critical path.

I don't think it really matters man. The video is already sitting on 1 million views!

Pretty much this. I don't get how some are excited by this game, I just don't see it.

so much hype. I hope this game is the RE4 of this generation.

We have this horrible practice called "release it buggy and fix it later" so i'm not worried about the game getting delayed more.

The graphics and frame rate look horrible. Why is a japanese dev using id tech 5?
He simply died and retried. The cuts reflect that and all.
Anyways, so much hate for pewdipie for no reaso lol. I liked this video, and found some of his comments funny. Also, the game looks interesting and a nice throwback to one of RE4's earlier builds where it had psychological horror. Interesting game overall, and I have a feeling it will be there with REmake.
To all of you worried about the framerate: play it on PC if possible, I believe it will be a constant 60 FPS on that without needing too much horsepower.

It was probably cheaper to use an (quasi) in-house engine rather than license UE for Tango.

He's the single most subscribed guy on Youtube.
While I can't stand listening/watching him. I'm really glad that he plays a wide variety of games and that a single one of his videos can really turn the fortunes around on a smaller title (not that The Evil Within is one of these "smaller titles")
I don't quite understand the mostly negative response I'm seeing here. I love mikami, and this game generally looks great. The framerate is weird, but I'm having a hard time believing that's what the framerate will really be. I'm more inclined to think it's some problem with the video capture or the build he had or something.
this is going to be pure RE4 style stuff here. what's not to like? and it's not ugly. it's not perfect looking, sure, but it's not ugly!

Lol. On another note, holy shit that framerate! The gunplay looks pretty nice though, might get this on PC (if there is such a version).

I thought the gunplay looked quite poor.
