Doubt biggest, I don't know how successful the game will do, but it's coming to five different main game platforms, has a pretty decent advertising campaign, and I think it will get good word of mouth, think there are other titles in October which will bomb harder thanks to the advertising and availability of platforms alone.
That's the greatest gif I've ever seen.
I'm thinking of the film The Prison outside of the obvious TEW stuff, but guessing I missed the reference. XD;
It's pretty okay to good. It's a B-horror film, I feel it may be one source of inspiration of many for The Evil Within. Some of the imagey is similar, and I'm thinking maybe the main force in the film might be an inspiration for Ruvik, maybe.
If the game turns out freaking awesome, I'm posting this in the OT
I'll be curious of what you think of it. It's an okay to good movie, has a lot of classic cult horror story actors in it, B-movie-ish, and I think the main connection is imagey as it's very different from what we've seen of TEW, but I thought the film was enjoyable enough and curious to see if some more visual stuf makes it's way into the game.
_Nemesis
ha ha it was mainly a reference from the games cover art, but dang if The Prison doesn't look like the next film i'm watching, thanks for the heads up, I LOVE b-movie horror with practical effects!I'm thinking of the film The Prison outside of the obvious TEW stuff, but guessing I missed the reference. XD;
I still am keeping my eyes out for The Prison references and similarities in Evil Within. I do not take it as coincidence the boxart for TEW is similar to the Japanese boxart for The Prison.
Which is pulled from one of the most famous scenes from the film.
And the inventory screen looks a lot like the alternative art for the film (a blue skull facing forward flashes before the screen opens up and loiters the background of the inventory).
And some other stuff in the film. I don't expect a carbon copy, RE4 I am convinced took a lot of inspiration from the 2000 Spanish horror film, Dagon, but only inspired by, very different in what they do and how they handle it and go with only some noticeable similar elements.
To be honest, I think Bethesda could stand to do a better job of how they promote the game, primarily when it comes to gameplay demonstrations. Personally, I wasn't all that excited to find out more and pick the game up for myself until I saw this.
For me it's when I played it at PAX. I really don't know how reviews will go, or how the whole game will go, but the segment I played I enjoyed a whole lot, and has sold me completely on the game.
Thanks for this. I applied and got a ticket!
Can't wait.
The fact that I have such a high opinion of Mikami thanks to games like RE4, God Hand, and Vanquish yet doubted TEW was something that bothered me for quite some time. For me, this was the problem.
I used to believe the bolded specifically thanks to how Bethesda had been promoting material from the game. I didn't have a clear understanding of just what TEW was or was trying to be, and it gave me the impression that it could be a misstep. I'm not surprised that some still have reservations about the game for the same reason, as the preview video created by the OP has done a much better job of contextualizing the experience than the game's publisher has so far.
There's people on this project who come from a number of Mikani's older projects and survival-horror games of the past. People who worked on the older RE games/RE4, some people who worked on Haunting Ground, some people from Platinum Games who worked on Vanquish, some people from Grashopper Manufacturer who worked on Michigan: Reprt From Hell, Killer7, and Shadows of the Damned. And some fresh blood in there as well.
And done, I feel a sense of relief. I was holding off my preorder because I had credit there and am otherwise pretty broke atm.
Got it for about 4 bucks. Also bought the season pass so I'm all set.
