Wow. GMG is offering this in a bundle that includes the season pass for $65.98. You can even apply one of their 25% discount codes that are always floating around and get the game and the season pass for just under $50.

I'm still holding off for reviews to see how this thing performs on PC, but if it turns out to be OK, I think I'll take advantage of this.

So early unlock on Steam (Germany) after all. 4h to go. Too late to play today ...

Better go to sleep early

Just sent that video to my girl friend. Being single will free up time for all these games.

I think this game is pretty mediocre

Now i'm only a hour in but so far

Pros:
Good atmosphere and music
Controls pretty well

Cons:
Shit AI, can see you from across the map
Too hard, game doesnt give you enough resources to succeed
Shooting isn't satisfying, camera is far too zoomed in

I'll keep playing but i can see this getting middling reviews
Also in before 'get better at games newb'

Your cons are actually pros for me.

Hard survival games aren't for everybody.

I do agree with him that the camera is far too zoomed in though. The E3 2014 footage was a perfect balance between tension and playability, now they went too far with it.

Complaining about difficulty though? There are plenty of games these days aimed at brain-dead levels of difficulty. Let us have something and go back to pressing X with massive, flashing, arrows on screen, telling you exactly where to go and what to do.

Too hard, game doesnt give you enough resources to succeed

Of course the game gives you what you need to succeed. The first few chapters demand a lot of stealth though.

Judging the game after an hour is madness anyway. Later levels are literally nothing like the first couple of chapters.

 

[DukeBobby]

I do agree with him that the camera is far too zoomed in though.

I think most of us will agree on that.

 

[antitrop]

It's so close I can taste it.

 

[esmith08734]

Let's do this.

 

[Skyzard]

Not sure i want to play at midnight anymore

 

[Gbraga]

ARE WE THERE YET GUYS???

Grace Chen please don't make us wait.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

I think most of us will agree on that.

I do as well. The camera's so zoomed you can barely see the reload animations sometimes. Tango pls

 

[AsfaeksBR]

What does it taste like?

Worse than vanilla RE6 os does the aspect ratio help with that?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

It zooms in to the weapon, not the character.

 

[Gbraga]

It zooms in to the weapon, not the character.

So it just looks bad, but doesn't interfere with the gameplay? I can live with that.

Still sucks, but I can live with that.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I see you have an eye for things, guns's not just 'bout shootin', it's 'bout reloadin'. You'll know what I'm talkin' 'bout.

 

[MyEpitomeCliché]

The zoom while aiming is different for whatever reason when you're in a save room. Sebastian's head takes up about half the screen. If it's any indication of what we were supposed to get, I'll take the more zoomed in view all day.

 

[SargerusBR]

Do you even understand what type of game you bought? And an hour in??!! what have you been doing since the 4 days when you first griped about the AI in this very thread??!!

There should still be a 25% code floating around (I got an account-specific one that's good til Fri). But I think that little extra discount is only for pre-release and will jump back to $69.99. Still a decent deal for a bundle with the 25%, but too many unknowns still for me.

Come ooooooooooon early Steam unlock pls.

A lot of people said Alien was too hard, too.

It wasn't, and I doubt this is either.

Agreed. I finished it in 16 hours on hard WITH NO HUMAN KILLS. Shit was easy.

 

[Grief.exe]

Still sucks, but I can live with that.

Technically it does effect the gameplay as you don't have as much information on your surroundings.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Chapter 3 is pretty intense. Just like

Spoiler

the village

in RE 4 but....slower?

Yeah... I'm hoping some reviews that talk to the PC version will pop up before launch. If not and the bundle price goes up, then I'll just stick with the standard version. I never buy season passes anyway, and rarely revisit games for DLC, so not too big of a deal.

Is the PSN release time 12AM or 3AM EST?

 

[swazzyswess]

Challenge accepted.

Indeed. This is only a good thing.

Just beat TLOU Grounded mode Saturday night. Bring it on.

 

[Nibel]

Look at him; looking all smug and shit. Not knowing that he'll have to run away from a chainsaw maniac and suplex crazy monks just some hours later.

 

[Patroclos]

Do you know it was design decision to deliberately constrain to build tension or is it for performance? Just curious as I don't know.

 

[Sevenfold]

Dammit caved preloading. That's SOM, this and a pre-order for Civ: BE this month. Tell me it's not just me!

 

[SkylineRKR]

I hope this is too hard. too much hand helding already.

This has been my biggest fear with the game, I hope its not frustrating and to hard. Are you playing on normal or easy?

For those of you playing on the easiest setting how is the difficulty?

 

[Grief.exe]

I mean Tango and Bethesda will tell you it's a design decision, just like they did for the black bars and 30 FPS. The reality is, this would be the only one I would accept with a straight face, though I would argue against its use.

Dammit caved preloading. That's SOM, this and a pre-order for Civ: BE this month. Tell me it's not just me!

I'm in the same boat, Mordor, FFXIII, The Evil Within, and Binding of Isaac...You best get Isaac too.

I would get Civ, but I don't want to get sucked down that rabbit hole right now.

 

[ChuckNyce]

It aint! So far I've picked up SOM, preloaded TEW, I'll be picking up Bayonetta 2 (the GAF hype/reviews/demo got me), and considering a purchase of Sunset Overdrive if it gets positive enough buzz. STAHP VIDEO GAMES STAHP!

 

[Zeph Lee]

Of course not having played it yet

but seeing so many complaints about being "too difficult"

makes me chuckle, I recall a few years ago everyone was complaining games were too easy/casual

 

[flozuki]

Not sure i want to play at midnight anymore

Is that from Sleepy Hollow? Holy shit ^^

 

[Kabuki Waq]

AI spotting you across the map is a concern. Dont pile on the guy for his views. I do not consider lack of ammo as a positive either.

I actually love RE4 and am getting this game because i have faith in Mikami.

I hope this game strikes the right balance of action and survival horror.

 

[JimPanzer]

Sadly the psn uk store does not accept german credit cards. Im pretty sure the us psn store is the same way.

You can buy US PSN credit from ebay or in the Buy/Sell/Trade Thread here on NeoGaf. Some users even offer a 10% discount, so you'll only pay 54$ for The Evil Within. I sound like a salesman.

Make sure to set you US acc as primary and you can play the game with your EU acc.

 

[greenfish]

Dammit caved preloading. That's SOM, this and a pre-order for Civ: BE this month. Tell me it's not just me!

Tell me about it, too many good game on PC, wasteland 2, alien, evil within, mordor, new civ

 

[Patroclos]

I suspected as much. Still getting it.

 

[Mononoke]

I have a PC that could run this at the 1600p and 60 FPS. Am I crazy for considering getting this on PS4 anyways? I've been addicted to playing on my PS4. I have a nice TV and surround sound set up in my room. I'm going through chemo right now and am in a lot of pain and suffering. I think it would be easier laying in my bed to play this on my TV. But damn I'm a sucker for better performance. I'm also worried about PS4 having sub 30 FPS and running clunky

 

[Scoot2005]

It's so close I can taste it.

MMMMMM Midnight release.

 

[Barry Burton]

- RE 4? Yes, chapter 2 (and now 3) feels like RE 4.5 with stealth mechanics

Going into Chapter 3 without health items, 3 shots for my pistol and...nothing else. Wish me luck ^^

That's not the RE4 I remember, though!

 

[Xpliskin]

For those that complain about difficulty/lack of resources:


There's this game called "Resident Evil 6": you can even play with your buddy and have casual chats over the mic.

I also heard there are nude mods if you're into that.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Do Germany will be able up unlock soon?
How soon are we talking?

I can already see reviewers crap on this like they did Alien Isolation.

 

[Raptor]

The camera is too damn close I agree jesus christ, hopefully a patch later on lets us use it a little far behind while aiming.

Midnight, for PS4 at least.
