Now that is how you do atmosphere!

Do you people who complain about graphics and nothing else even like video games?

 

[Grief.exe]

"There's something wrong with this place."

You think?

I'm curious as to whether that was current or last gen footage.

 

[StuBurns]

Do you people who complain about graphics and nothing else even like video games?

Oh, of course, the age old argument that if you care about graphics, you can't care about anything else. Sure.

I usually never do or don't really care but it's hard not to notice in that video, it just would be interesting to see if that is ps3/xbox 360 version of it.

 

[braves01]

It looks like a good psychological horror game, and if it also comes out on last gen consoles, even better (for me, at least).

 

[Blimblim]

Only 720p, so it's most definitely last gen version being shown.

The video is 1080p, where did you see 720p?

 

[kiri]

Source?

My friend who is working on the title?

 

[StuBurns]

It looks like a good psychological horror game, and if it also comes out on last gen consoles, even better (for me, at least).

It's PS3/4, Xbox 360/One, and PC.

 

[Alo81]

I really hope that trailer was last gen, because compared to the ~12 minute gameplay video they released before it looks significantly worse.

The game seems really interesting in its own right though.

You got me on PC.

 

[Lernaean]

Yeah great game, still ruined the series though.

No, it didn't ruin any series. If by series you mean the first one then 4 only ruined the camera placement because the tone of RE had already changed with 2. RE set this tone because it was limited by it's hardware, then it changed again and then it had a full makeover being in a more powerful platform with 4.

RE 4 is possibly the best RE and one of the best games of all time. If anything ruined RE then it has to be 5 that blatantly tried to be a RE 4 clone but failed utterly because it had no soul of it's own.

About the Evil Within now, I love the atmosphere but I'm on the 'looks last gen' camp. I hope PS4 or PC will be looking better.

 

[hal9001]

Wasn't there rumours based on the leaked concept art that the asylum part of the game is only the initial area and the game expands to other locations?

 

[ron_bato]

Now that is how you do atmosphere!

I was very excited for the atmosphere, and dug the vibe they were going for. I'm still very hyped for this game, and hoping it turns out well because I need more horror games in my life.

That being said, those rough textures stuck out like a sore thumb. I don't usually pay attention to these things too much, but I have to admit, some of that was really bad. hopefully that was the ps3/360 version.

 

[braves01]

It's PS3/4, Xbox 360/One, and PC.

Nice.

 

[boinx]

This shit is looking wild baby, loved that RE1 callback. Locales also look pretty varied, like in RE4

As usual, you Rock Blim, Thank You.

 

[benzy]

The video is 1080p, where did you see 720p?

Ah, I was just looking at the streaming option and only 720p was available at the time. I see the 1080p stream now.

My friend who is working on the title?

Do you know if it's 60fps for ps4 version?

 

[Aaron]

I really, really wish the lighting was better. I think that takes a lot away from the atmosphere.

 

[Endo Punk]

I feel bad graphics lend themselves perfectly to horror games, not saying this game looks hideous like most are but it certainly isn't a looker, animation could have been done better though. Not that any of it really bothers me because 60fps, need more engines that prioritise smooth gameplay over graphics. Getting on PS4 day 1 for sure.

 

[-MD-]

RE 4 is possibly the best RE and one of the best games of all time. If anything ruined RE then it has to be 5 that blatantly tried to be a RE 4 clone but failed utterly because it had no soul of it's own.

By series I mean the Resident Evil series. It was at one point a survival horror game if you can believe it.

Also the best RE is easily Remake. It's flawless.

 

[Acquiescence]

It's not a very good game graphically, and I really hope all that footage was taken from the PS360 version, but other than that... this shit looks nuts! In the best possible way. That trailer hints at some really crazy stuff going down.

 

[Bedameister]

I'm pretty sure this is 360/PS3 footage. It must be. They could not release those graphics on a PS4/X1

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Oh, of course, the age old argument that if you care about graphics, you can't care about anything else. Sure.

It's very very difficult to glean that when a post offers nothing but a graphical complaint, Stu.

That's what I'm getting at. Strictly rhetorical since I know you all care about video games or else you wouldn't be here. But I feel this habit of "only" talking about the graphics gets to devs, since many of them clearly surf gaf, and they start to believe that we value pretty stuff above all else.

 

[CouchMaster]

IIRC it's supposed to be 60 on current gen.

Well then 60 for next-gen would be a lock. I have faith in that engine.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

I can't wait for this. Been almost a decade since the last Mikami action horror title.

 

[dmr87]

Looking better and better.

Thanks for the trailer Blim.

 

[Gbraga]

Well then 60 for next-gen would be a lock. I have faith in that engine.

I mean PS4/Xbox One, didn't make that clear, sorry.

 

[ashecitism]

I mean PS4/Xbox One, didn't make that clear, sorry.

From what I understood 60fps is hardwired into the engine, so it should run at 60fps on all platforms.

 

[-MD-]

I pray the PC version is good. It needs to be.

 

[Grief.exe]

From what I understood 60fps is hardwired into the engine, so it should run at 60fps on all platforms.

That looks significantly better than what last gen can produce at 60 FPS then, might be PS4/XB1 footage.

I will watch again, but the IQ, clarity at distance, textures, resolution all looks very good for last-gen.

EDIT: Watched again, the textures are pretty poor in areas but that is a ID5 mega texture staple (assuming it is similar to Rage). The clarity at distance is generally what I look for to spot the differences between last-gen/current-gen/PC and it was quite good overall. I rarely saw any aliasing either.

Analysis: 60 FPS/1080P/AA/Clarity this is probably current-gen footage.

 

[Xanos]

My goodness this game looks intense. Day 1 purchase for me.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

At this point I don't even care how this game will end up looking on my PS4, just give me unforgettable survival horror experience.

 

[EL CUCO]

Thanks. The game looks disturbing as hell. However, no doubt that developing for last gen consoles has claimed another victim of a next gen version.

Some of the textures definitely scream last gen but overall the game isn't as ugly as some folks in here are claiming, there's no way the game in that video is running on an xbox 360 at 60 frames.

I'll eat a goddamn crow if it is.

 

[Lernaean]

By series I mean the Resident Evil series. It was at one point a survival horror game if you can believe it.

That's why i said possibly. Remake and 4 are on an eternal struggle for the first place for years now as far as i am concerned, i'm just saying that RE stopped being horror with 2, the first one being the only survival horror game and all the other were horror-action with a little sci-fi.

 

[ashecitism]

I'll eat a goddamn crow if it is.

Rage ran at 60fps on PS360.

 

[Duxxy3]

uh... is this the gamecube version?

some of these textures... i don't even know if they are PS3/360 level

animation also seems jerky

still, it's not like there's anything else coming out in the summer, so it's still day 1

 

[EL CUCO]

Wolfenstein is said to be 60fps on all versions, PS3 + 360 included. That game seems more graphically demanding and its way more fast paced. Its using the same engine.

 

[Majanew]

It's very very difficult to glean that when a post offers nothing but a graphical complaint, Stu.

But I feel this habit of "only" talking about the graphics gets to devs, since many of them clearly surf gaf, and they start to believe that we value pretty stuff above all else.

Well, it's a videogame and the graphics are the first thing you see and I'll be seeing the graphics the entire time I'm playing it, now won't I? And the graphics are pretty bad -- if that's PS4/XB1 footage. If this was a non-AAA game from an indie, like Outlast, I'd be more forgiving. Getting better graphics with new and more powerful hardware is one of the exciting parts of getting... new and more powerful hardware.

 

[ironcreed]

The graphics look perfectly fine to me. Can't wait to turn the lights out and get sucked into this bad boy.

 

[jond76]

Wasn't there rumours based on the leaked concept art that the asylum part of the game is only the initial area and the game expands to other locations?

Ooohhhh. That's interesting....

 

[Majanew]

From what I understood 60fps is hardwired into the engine, so it should run at 60fps on all platforms.

A year or so ago, Carmack said Doom 4 would be 30fps and it was using id Tech5.

 

[Devilgunman]

Wow, I'm not a graphic whore but it certainly looks not good and the fps is quite horrible as well. Hopefully we can get 60 fps on PC.

 

[Ninjimbo]

That looked good regardless of what version it was. It was disturbing in all the ways I want it to be for a horror game. I'm officially on board now.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Graphics look really rough, way worse than the last trailer. I guess this is 360 /PS3 footage.

Evil Within is crossgen game, this trailer looked like it was captured from old consoles.

Here's how the nextgen version looks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=MMKhoHl9BnE#t=180

Much better texture work.

Well it's running on idTech 5. Wolfenstein suffers from the same problems.

Looks alright. I don't understand why they chose a last-gen version for this trailer.. the textures/shadows were terribad.

Looks too good for last gen and pretty rough for current gen.

I don't believe this is last-gen footage, because I don't think Bethesda would deliberately show a poorer version in a trailer. It looks a little too good for a last-gen release, and pretty rough for current-gen in my opinion.

Ignoring all that though the actual content looks good; a cross between psychological horror and demonic physical horror.

Good catch!

I thought he was referring to the blonde guy turning his head at 0:47, just like the first zombie Jill and Barry encounter in Resi 1.

 

[Yoday]

Well then 60 for next-gen would be a lock. I have faith in that engine.

Isn't that engine locked to 60fps no matter what platform it is running on?

 

[Blimblim]

Ah, I was just looking at the streaming option and only 720p was available at the time. I see the 1080p stream now.

I see. I had planned an adding a grayed out quality option when it's not done encoding yet, I guess I should work on that then

 

[puffyshirt]

Art direction looks fantastic, can't wait to play.

 

[TheRedSnifit]

Also the best RE is easily Remake. It's flawless.

If you're willing to ignore a bunch of archaic design choices that even Alone in the Dark managed to avert in 1992. The item boxes alone are enough to make me put it below RE4.

 

[Miguel81]

I hope Mikami hasn't lost the magic touch. I'm not the biggest fan of the Amnesia-style, and need a good ol' Survival Horror.

Love me some item boxes.
