If you've been around for the last couple decades then know who these people are, what they represent, and where they are from. These people, while fictitious in nature and creation, are synonymous to one man: Shinji Mikami. Mr. Mikami is the creator of the critically acclaimed "Resident Evil" Series, now he has split-off from Capcom to create his own company Tango Gameworks. Now he's taking us back to his Survival-Horror roots with his first solo title, along side industry great Bethesda Softworks, "The Evil Within". This title promises to be a "realization of pure horror" with a combination of "anxiety inducing horror", and mind numbing psychological horror. So why don't we dissect this little beauty shall we??
Consoles: Xbox 360, PS3, & PC
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Creator/Production Co.: Tango Game Works
Release Date: 2014
Plot: Right, so, every good game (survival horror especially) requires a story that will keep players wanting more and glue to their seats. What I've read of the plot of Evil Within so far, it has me wanting more, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
"When Det. Sebastian Castellanos and his partners, Joseph Oda and Julie "Kid" Kidman, rush to the scene of a gruesome mass murder, a mysterious. powerful force is lying in wait. After witnessing the brutal killing of his fellow officers one after the other, Det. Castellanos is then attacked and loses consciousness. He awakens in another world where monsters are wondering about, he must fight his way through a world of death and his close friend's madness, in order to understand what's going on. Sebastian has to face his fears in order to survive on a journey to discover what lies in the shadow of that mysterious force."
Overview and Gameplay: The Evil Within will feature a 3rd person-over-the-shoulder-view, with the ability to move and shoot at the same time...THANK YOU MIKAMI!! That had to be one of the only real down falls of the RE series....Anyway. Players can expect to face overwhelming odds, unthinkable horrors, highly-crafted environments, limited resources, and cruel traps as they fight their way to answers. The environment will constantly change to help disorient and confuse players, and boasts threats from any direction. While fire-arms are the main weaponry, relatively scarce ammo will force the player to player to resort to different means to defend themselves throughout the game.
Meaning their will be melee weapons such as knives and axes, and traps to set such as mines. All items will be accessible from a inventory wheel and can be quick selected via the D-pad. There will also be some stealth gameplay, and the game will feature it's own chainsaw wielding enemy, paying homage to RE4's Dr. Savaldor.
The Evil Within creator Shinji Mikami was quoted saying
" I've found my focus and once again I'm starving for pure survival horror. I'm being VERY hands-on to see that the quality is there. Rest assured."
Meaning this game will hopefully be pretty damn entertaining if he has anything to say about it. This title is said to be the beginning of a new franchise, lets hope it lives up to that kinda hype.
This is StormWulf signing out saying: Stay frosty folks.
