Also, I don't think supplies are as limited as you guys think they are.
Most people who play the mansion demo seemingly ignore breaking the barrels and vases laying around which usually contain ammo among other supplies.
Though admittedly, I wouldn't have known that factoid if I didn't see Pete Hines or whatever his name doing that on the Bethesda stream a few months ago.
I'm guessing the game teaches you about that during the first few chapters like in RE4, but since this chapter is late in the game it doesn't bother telling you.

Sounds legit, but to be honest, breaking barrels and everything possible, would be common sense, RE4 for e.g. never told you that you could break boxes or barrels for additional ammo.
And I think it will use the same mechanic than RE4, that you'll get items, which are based on your play style. If you die a lot you'll get more supplies than dying less.
The more think I about I'm pretty sure this is not the final build of the game. It looks like an old build from the content that is in this and the first video is from mid-September around when other YouTubers posted some TEW content.
In the second Video, the one linked here, it even has the word 'demo' in the description and YT comments are worth shit. Bethesda probably just contacted every big gaming YouTuber in each country and gave them a preview build to showcase.

Actually, in the first two chapters of RE4 if you go near a box or barrel there would be a CHECK button prompt to tell you that they are breakable. The prompt goes away by the third chapter or so (i.e: 1-3).
The boxes are obvious enough, but the barrels kinda blend in with the environment, so it's not too obvious unless you accidentally blow them up while using a grenade or something.
In TEW especially the barrels look like background props or decoration. They don't stick out at all. In the room with the piece of cloth hanging the barrels there don't have the usual video gamey appearance of "look here, break me!" to them. So I don't necessarily blame the demo players for ignoring them.

benevolent sexism
From God of War to Resident Evil 4, I always role play as a character who fucking hates barrels, vases, boxes, containers of all stripes.

LOL I'm the same. There isn't a game where I DON'T try and see what's breakable.
Baha, that's so true!

I am generally like that in games as well. So I'm especially disappointed in myself for not immediately noticing that the barrels in TEW are breakable.
But meh, better to feel like an idiot now, then to go halfway through the full game before realizing and feeling like a complete dumbass :lol

...Out of curiosity, did you tried playing Fable =3 ?
You guyz, "FPS" aiming view is area dependent.
RE4 started it, then Dead Space copied, Dark Sector didn't get the hint, it continued in RE5 and 6.
I know because I had to do something similar.
e.g in RE4 compare regenerador lab area cam to castle hall cam
Twitter:
You can't start on HARD, only modes available are NORMAL and EASY/casual.
But normal is very challenging.
PS4 version is smooth !
And they re-enabled obstacle avoidance for the camera when opening doors, it actually made it to the final version.

Nothing above normal? Good thing I plan on playing repeatedly!

I just recently replayed RE4 and it's true, the aiming camera is area-dependent.
The first time you meet a regenerator is especially ridiculous, Leon literally takes up 50% of the screen :lol
Nothing above normal on the first playthrough, then additional modes ( Hard, Akumu?) are unlocked.

any idea when the reviews will start spurting out?
I haven't heard a peep. But right now I'm expecting midnight on the 14th EST, because that's how Bethesda did Wolfenstein.

That would be my guess as well. Granted I'm still supposedly getting one shipped this week along with embargo info.

Pre-ordering on PSN. Yeeee! lol
Bethesda has to stop with the midnight embargoes. Wolfenstein was great and reviewed well and everything I've seen from The Evil Within looks good.
Look at Shadow of Mordor, I know a bunch of people (including myself) here on gaf pre ordered the game right away once the reviews hit.

I think they usually ship preorders one day before release date. If I'm lucky I'll probably receive it by the end of the week.
I'm not gonna spend that much money on a digital title
Ugh, games that do this are the worst. No matter how hard they try to sell it, normal is basically never challenging.

I laughed. It's funny to think about how all gamers are basically role playing as people with crate phobia.
PC isn't the answer to everything. If a developer doesn't give a shit about performance, the PC port will most likely suffer as well. Brute forcing to 60FPS isn't the most ideal situation, since a) it's costly and b) graphical fidelty suffers. At this point I have the feeling it's not even about graphical fidelty even more. It's just a cost/marketing decision: "Will the market accept the game at 25FPS or do we need to pay three more months for performance polishing"? If the answer to that question is "the market does accept it", we all know what the outcome will be.

Funny though, the game was pushed back by about two months for polishing.
So? Judging from the vids, maybe it needed 5 months instead of 2?

Damn, I wanted to start on hard :/ Guess that means I'll just have to replay it, not that I wasn't already planning on doing that anyway

I don't think so, but then again, we haven't seen the final retail build, so this is all hypothetical anyways.

Well at least I don't have a tough decision to make anymore!
Mute isn't helping. His muted face cam reactions are still annoying lol.
What better way to start a let's play than by making annoying sounds over pop background music

LOL...I hate to be like that but yeah, you're right. I made it 50 seconds..his face when opening the door made me want to punch him. I just closed the video.

I was going to bring that up, but then thought better of it. I think you fixed it for the best.
That was pretty slick.

Clunky melee/close quarters combat will be a common complaint, guaranteed. And from what I've seen, it won't be an entirely unwarranted criticism. Not that it's a big deal to me though.
-Game is unforgiving on Normal
-Sebastian is a detective, yet he can't investigate
-Lack of QTEs
14th is too far away :/
Local game shop said he'd break the street date as soon as they're available \o/
