The Evil Within

[Каин]

Ну не знаю, сама идея стэлса с зажённым керосиновым фонарём на жопе кажется бредовой, японцы хуле

Целая куча новых деталей об игре:

-Game has a lot of different kinds of enemies, environments, and traps. Enemies and traps see radomization. Even a number of scares are randomized.
-The introduction to the game has been significantly altered from what's been shown in trailers and demo videos. Lots of changes in dialogue, execution, pacing, etc. Start the game arriving at, approaching, and exploring a murder scene at Beacon Hospital ks the same, but goes in a very sifferent directio after that. Before entering the hospital, Sebastian is having some terrible headaches.
-The first enemy to you face is similar to the first zombie encounter in RE1. It's a human-like, but also obviously not human, thing in a straight jacket who comes at you.
-The first boss in the game you encounter is The Sadist, a chainsaw wielding enemy. He chases you around a village location in chapter 3. You can fight him directly, stealth and evade him to sneak up and get stealth strikes on him, or use the various traps and set your own traps for him.
-A compliment that the game allows for a lot of different choices in most scenarios, and starts really opening up with the village.
-One of the traps in the game is a catapult that throws knives. Game has an interesting cat and mouse thing where both you and the enemies can use traps on one another.
-The AI for both te enemies and in a section where you work with A cop friend, Joseph, are heavily praised, saying that your partner is precise, intelliget, an holds his own while also mot invincibld, and the enemies, how they react and respond are very detailed and believable, and threatening.
-There are various traps around the village, including bombs in boxes and enemies hiding I spots to ambush you. And it's randomized, if you die you can't predict where it'll be next, so you have to be on your toes for clues.
-There are invisible enemies that look human, but have the head of an Octopus. They're completely invisible, but you can use things like water ripples, footsteps, and the like to locate or evade them.
-In one of the new screenshots it shows another new type of enemy, that looks like a collection of people melted and then sown together like a giant blob.
-Mentions the game feels half survival-horror game, half psychological thriller. Game was much different than he previously believed from last showings, but he actually really liked it.
-Mikami says to strike the right balance of challenging and fun, they replayed each section of the game over and over, for a horror game you can't determine this by numbers or equations, you have to judge the experience. They replayed each part the game so many times to make sure it was fun and challenging, Mikami doesn't even want to count.
-Game opens up with Sebastian, Juli, and Joseph riding to the scene in a police car. They talk on the drive. Sebastian is a noir-style cop from head to toe who usually analyzes situations and takes risks and gambles, all while casting out some dry humor, Juli is much more lax and fights the stress with dumb jokes, and is a fan of horror movies, Joseph is calm and collected and a calculating type who wants to help people.
-Says the game varies a lot in horror tone and inspirations. There's a mix of J-horror and Western Horror here. There's a segment evidently inspired by Ju-On, another section that feels kik it's out of The Shining, etc.
-The game also has a lot of different gameplay tones, it sometimes feels like it's directly out of the old Resident Evil. Other times it feels much more in line with Silent Hill. Other parts feel really like Eterenal Darkness. Others more like F.E.A.R. But he says this avoids feeling weird as the game had excellent pacing and design that leads into everything naturally.
-But the variety of times in gameplay and horror makes everything unsacred, and makes you cautious of everything as anything can be out to get you in whatever way.
-There's a screenshot of what looks like bloody, fleshy babies with tumors coming at Sebastian in a cave.
-There are a variety of well-hidden keys to collect do a hub-like save room area, and some of them are very well hidden. Mentions he saw a key strapped to a rat.
-Mentions and intriguing part of the game involving a white tile room that starts with nothing in it and slowly changes, involving strange puzzles, and growing weirdness as it goes on.
-To beat the first 5 chapters (of 16) took him 4-5 hours.
-To quote, "An exceptionally polished and well thought-out horror experience. It seems like a game that's received heavy iteration in development to plot scares and to switch things up at the perfect times to make sure you're never too comfortable. It brought back a flood of memories from Resident Evil and Resident Evil 4, only with a heightened level of terror that warps reality and made to mess with your mind."

И еще под спойлером, на всякий случай:

Спойлер

• First chapter mostly linear, basically a chase.
• There is a mirror that takes you into an alternate reality, this is where you upgrade.
• Chapter 2 starts at a lakeside area,very large lets you explore. There is a lighthouse in the distance.
• You find letters which tell the story much like RE. One letter says they don't remember a lighthouse being there and that the light makes him feel off. Alternate realities?
• The mirror takes you to a place with two rooms, one has a chair which is where you upgrade. The other is a morgue with locked fridges. Keys are hidden in the game. One key was hidden on the back of a rat. These doors hold ammo or gel rewards (gel is what you use for upgrades)
• Chapter 2 is very dark making you use your light. First enemy does the zombie turn from RE1.
• You will find headshots do not kill enemies, you can blow off a piece of their head.
• There are lots of options to the combat, one area has a huge mob eating people, you can hide in shadows and behind bushes to avoid them.
• Chapter 3 is where it gets amazing, it takes place in a farm town with a bunch of homes that are fully explorable. Sounds like a super version of the opening RE4 town.
• Enemy variety in this area is impressive. Zombies yield all types of melee weapons (like Ganados). One zombie is sits on his balcony with a rifle and shoots at you if you get close. One is a shotgun wielding guy with an armor helmet to stop headshots. AI is extremely impressive.
• The game is difficult, but checkpoints are well done as they keep track of each house you clear.
• The player found a shotgun and crossbow. The crossbow has all kinds of ammo, flash arrow which blinds enemies, an impaling arrow and one with a timed bomb.
• There are traps all over the environments, bear traps, trip mines, prox bombs. Sound familar, yup just like RE4!
• Some traps are triggered by enemies and they will lure you into them, like one switch that sends knives at you. You can turn these traps against the enemies.
• This chapter ends with a huge chainsaw weilding monster that chases you into any home you try to hide in. Sound familiar? Get the picture, this is the RE4 sequel we have always waited for.
• You need to use the traps in the environment to take down the chainsaw boss.
• Chapter 4 and 5 are a mix of psychological horror and action. Chapter 4 has a puzzle involving posters dealing with human anatomy.
• Chapter 5 has a small room you enter with nothing, when you turn to leave the door is gone. After a while a tile seems to be missing and it leads to a black hole like sequence which leads to a puzzle. Sounds silent hillish.
• New enemy that has a squid head and is totally invisible, you have to use sound to locate the enemy. He leaves footprints on water and occasionally bumps into objects.
• Crazy hair lady with all those arms chases you as well, the player just ran away.
• Chapter 5 ends with a sequence where you and a partner find another cop stuck in a metal box in the middle of a two story room. Enemies start to pour in, many carrying dynamite. You and your partner need to take them down while the metal box is filling with water.
• The partner AI is excellent but does need to be healed if injured.
• Even after you dispatch the enemies you still need to figure out how to save the woman in the box. This sounds like a mix of saw with the house invasion of RE4.
• The GI author says playing this game brought found memories of playing RE1 and RE4 again but with much more horror elements.

Xbox One -- Already available for preload with your purchase of the game.
Xbox 360 -- Pre-loading is not available, however, you will be able to purchase digitally on day 1.

Why does the PC recommended ask for 4 GB of VRAM?

The PS4 and Xbox One both have 8 GB of unified RAM which can be used as both system and video memory. Because our PC version is functionally identical to those platforms, we recommend 4 GB of system memory, and 4 GB of VRAM for the best experience.

Can I run it on a card with less than 4 gigs of VRAM?

Yes. Please refer to the minimum requirements above. You won’t be experiencing the game at 1080p and you’ll likely need to turn off some features, but you will still be able to have a great experience with the game.

What are the graphic options available?

For all versions:
Brightness
Display area adjustment
Screen Grain adjustment

Additional options for PC (if supported by your hardware)
Fullscreen or windowed support
Anti-aliasing – FXAA, MLAA, SMAA
Shadow Quality – High, Medium, Low
Motion Blur
SSAO
Reflections

What's the status on the game's framerate and aspect ratio?

Shinji Mikami and the team at Tango designed The Evil Within to be played at 30fps and to utilize an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 for all platforms. The team has worked the last four years perfecting the game experience with these settings in mind. For PC players, we’ll provide debug commands on how you can alter the framerate and aspect ratio, but these commands and changes are not recommended or supported and we suggest everyone play the game as it was designed and intended for the best experience.

Does the game support 4K resolution?

Yes. The engine can go even higher if you’ve got a monitor and video card that supports it.

Can I disable the letterboxing?

The letterboxing (a 2:35:1 aspect ratio) is used for gameplay purposes, as certain elements display in the black areas of the screen. On PC, you can turn off the bars and force the game to render full-screen. However this option is not supported. We’re keeping the ability to turn off bars as a console-only command that we will share at launch

How can I turn on the debug console?

There will be a command-line option to enable the console. More at launch.

What can I do with the debug console?

Gameplay cheats, as well as advanced camera controls will all be available via console commands. More to come!

What do you suggest if I think the game is too difficult?

You can toggle the game's difficulty level at anytime. Additionally, we'll be be opening our spoilers/help board at launch, in which we will include some "in case of emergency" tips. You can also check out our new gameplay videos covering strategy (1, 2).

Will you have support forums?

Yes, our support forums will go up when the game releases on Tuesday. We have dedicated support boards for all five platforms. You can also contact customer support at help.bethsoft.com for additional assistance.

При всем "некстгене", данное замечание выглядит как отмазка, лишь бы не сознаваться в кривой оптимизации. Это же коридорный шутан от третьего лица, что там может быть такого, чтобы жуть как нужны были 4 гига VRAM для FullHD?

 

[The I]

Да, странно все это. Явно кривой порт будет. Я понимаю, что унифицированная память на консолях - это фактически до фига ВРАМа, но все же, надо честь знать. Четвёртой баттле столько не надо. Да и Кризис 3 играется, как я понял, с 4 гигами более чем нормально. Что-то там нечисто.

Ну что, как игра то? Страшнее Аутласта? =)

И это при том, что в баттле и кризисе большие карты вместо коридоров.

Вот думаю на пэка взяьь, хоть бы демку запилили посмотреть пойдет или нет

 

[The I]

Подожди месяц. Пропатчат. Будет идти на самом старом железе. =)
