If you’re a fan of survival horror then you NEED to take a look at this new gameplay trailer for The Evil Within. Remember when I said “fan of survival horror” I meant it, no not you stupid Michael Bay fans, I’m talking proper old school SURVIVAL horror.
It appears to be a growing trend these days that survival horror is just another way of saying “somewhat creepy third person shooter”. Shinji Mikami otherwise known as the father of survival horror helped pave the way for the genre with the Resident Evil games up until his departure from Capcom shortly after Resident Evil 4.
The Evil Within is Shinji Mikami’s return to TRUE survival horror, take at look at the small gameplay scenes from the interview Sony posted over on it’s YouTube channel.
There obviously isn’t a whole lot of gameplay to see but we do get a much better understanding of what the game will play like. It’s extremely atmospheric and very tense, the protagonist Sebastian is definitely not a one man army and players will no doubt have to be very careful with how that tackle various situations.
If there’s one thing that games these days have lost it’s the idea that the player is vulnerable at all times, our biggest fear as gamers is the dying but what do we have to be scared of if we can just unload entire magazine rounds onto bullet sponge enemies?
The Evil Within currently has a vague release date of 2014 and it’s looking downright amazing. If you’re a fan of survival horror, you know the genre where you might actually want to conserve your ammo and watch your health, then please keep an eye out for The Evil Within. It’s without a doubt one of the most promising games in development period.
