They've been working on a retail release in conjunction with valve of BMS so I doubt it will ever be finished in the free version

I'm the kind that likes to look at the environment and take things super slow in stealth games, this revelation along with what I've seen from the interface menu is really killing my enthusiasm for The Evil Within

New Silent Hills trailer:

It looks like a decent horror game but doesn't look at all like a SH game. I feel like they could have just created their own IP and it would still generate a lot of buzz due to the Kojima/Del Toro collab

I can see they're returning to their silent hill 4 roots with the canned screams

DreadOut had a big update yesterday, apparently now the demo section is integrated into the main game as part of the story. Also there are engine changes which they mention are in preparation for Act 2, which means it's apparently actually happening sometime soon.

Is this thread aware of Silent Hill: Alchemilla a Source mod being released?

I havent played it yet,.I found it via this Rock Paper Shotgun blurb

No enemies; not worth playing. Really the same goes for any so-called "horror" adventure game.

I really don't like care for the limited matchsticks in White Night, and the way the camera shifts around is disorienting and makes it more difficult to remember where unexplored doors are - I'm also the kind that likes to check ever nook and cranny but also tends to miss things (so no idea where the second knife is). I'm out of matchsticks atm (I know there's some left in the other rooms) and I think running makes them deplete faster? And sometimes they fail to light. And then for some interactables you need both hands. I assume it's insta-death when in the dark for too long. The last time I was annoyed by a mechanic like this in a horror game was Amnesia, but at least then you could get by through bringing up then quickly extinguishing the lamp to get around.

Was PT set to be removed eventually from its inception? Because I just read it's going to be removed from PSN on the 29th. RIP Silent Hills

Streams of this Monstrum (which came out of early access a few days ago) game paint it in a bad light. I just watched a guy die with no prompt by the monster seemingly appearing behind him and killing him in one hit. I guess if you're the kind of person who likes jump scares and and aren't frustrated by permadeath its 'good'

This PT thing seems kinda poo poo honestly and if I'd be real mad if it was any indication of what the next game would be like. I've read it's possible to beat it without a mic I tried the various methods for about a half hour before giving up. Puzzles were too nebulous - The 1st baby laugh triggered for me once on one attempt (after midnight, photos pieced together) then wouldn't again. It's a load off my mind to not feel like I'm missing much by SH being trashcanned. I liked this bit though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpRLoyHQHyM

Wait till you have to figure out the pig man or how to shoot that one lady ghost in the back.

Well I killed the prostitute ghost without much trouble. I had to look up what you need to do to obtain the small key though, and randomly shoot at the red blob until it gave me a photo of the hanging girls., but this scissor ghost is just abysmal. After the fourth photo damage it just seems to be invincible all the time, and you aren't given enough of a window to line up a shot and wait for the glitch to happen. And I've read there's worse encounters later on! I've beaten 4 fatal frame games and this is just poo poo

Skip Dread Out. It's an really unpolished and not worth the time. You'll miss a significant amount of content if you don't fully explore the town once darkness falls, for example.

I guess Alone In The Dark Illumination is out today? Seems to also be bad, but I can't comment on personal experience unlike above

Just played about 45 minutes of Penumbra Necrologue, a mod for Amnesia that somehow got singleplayer mod the year on moddb. Found a cassette but no player, a rope with a hook, and no exit to the area I was in with no telling where or what I was supposed to do next. Recreates the final area of Penumbra 2 (I think) pretty faithfully so I give it 2/10.

Didn't read the OP when he started posting "plot" but given the comments section I am going to call this nonsense and trolling.

E. I have to wonder where these ideas come from, what would be the motivation to stream the game on an unknown channel without anyone knowing with a threat of a lawsuit pending? It doesn't make sense if they aren't even doing it for the views

Attention. Some guy's streaming it from the beginning, I guess the same guy as before. The CA is pretty terrible, and the options are pretty barebones as reported

Yeah for the most part, picking up and examining the random stuff was a novel thing in Penumbra but it felt kind of pointless to me in Soma.

I checked the back of every single picture/note and I think only one of them had something written on the back, and it wasn't important.

I don't think they'll be able to get the rights to make a Silent Hill game, but I could see Kojima, Del Toro, and Ito all trying to band together again to make their own independent horror game.

all of these guys can command a pretty healthy salary, that and the fact that horror games are financially risky makes it unlikely that it would be indie or that a large company would provide the resources for them to develop something worthwhile

you cant just mash together talent and expect a good product either, like the recent jodorowsky's dune demonstrated.

The Claire dev has been promising a patch for over a year (it's stickied in the steam forum), which promised to fix some problems people had with the game. I got it among some other bundle crap so I haven't felt inclined to play it due to that reason, so beware. It's probably playable but the map is really bad, going by forum posts.

To me, none of the characters in Walking Dead season 2 were likeable, including Clementine (though I did play her as a bitch). Also it's a bit of a retread of content (the same reason I stopped watching the tv show) and the 400 days characters were poorly woven into the story.
