 Outlast 2 is the sequel to 2013 indie horror hit Outlast from developer Red Barrels Steam Store page posted:Set in the same universe as the first game, but with different characters and a different setting, Outlast 2 is a twisted new journey into the depths of the human mind and its dark secrets. We’ve traded dilapidated asylums and amoral corporations for isolated deserts and redneck cults! Exciting! Outlast was praised for well-crafted level design and atmosphere as well as effectively translating the idea of found-footage into a video game. But it was also criticized (particularly the Whistleblower DLC) for relying heavily on explicit nudity, gore, and general shock value in its horror. Has Outlast 2 moved away from the latter to focus on more tense, psychological horror? Drunken Baker posted:Outlast 2 has been banned in Australia due to strong sexual violence. Probably not! A demo was released for the game late last year, but has since been removed from all platforms. However, you can probably still watch on whichever shrieking millennial hipster’s YouTube channel you prefer if you want to get an idea of what the game will be like. The full game will be released on April 25th on PC, PS4, and XB1. Console gamers will also get Outlast: Trinity, a collection of Outlast 1, Whistleblower, and Outlast 2 for 40 USD. What a deal!

I'm looking forward to Outlast 2 but I feel like it's going to be as disappointing as A Machine For Pigs for some reason.

Yup. I'm just gonna buy this game for like ten dollars or less. Launch price is $20 right? It's probably going to be a more reasonable game for ten bucks and finish it in two weekend nights. Plus we already know how re7 beat it to the punch of redneck horror.

This is a great chance for them to expand and deepen the mechanics of the first game, and I hope they succeed, even if RE7 truly took the wind outta their sales here.

Despite the game still not being purchasable on Steam, millennial hipster YouTubers have started to post playthroughs for those so inclined. Do keep spoilers behind tags for those of us who want to go in blind.

I like gory, outlandish horror movies and I think there was a bit more to the first Outlast than fits into the accepted narrative of it being a dumb bad game, so I am stoked.

Spergatory posted:Granted, this is from a watch-through more than a playthrough but... uhhh... Ill tell you of a magic thing that will let you playthrough without fear! They have programs that could make you invisible to the bad guys in outlast 1. Maybe they can do it with cheat engine, you would have to use google. I don't think it will stop you from getting scared though, you would need to record the game then have someone screen it for you. It could be expensive, and the lag would be nuts.

Kaboom Dragoon posted:Are there any watchable playthroughs so far? John Wolfe, formerly HarshlyCritical is putting up his playthrough. He's a pretty level-headed guy, who doesn't play up his reactions and his commentary is reasonably entertaining. However, he's putting up his videos in 30-40 minutes chunks, so it'll likely take him a couple days to have the full thing up. There's also this no-commentary streamed full playthrough but I have no idea the quality of it.

Saya No Uta 2 looking good E. But really, the first one had over the top male sexual stuff but it was interesting because it was a (possible accidental) commentary on how fragile men are about that kind of stuff, given the response to the game. Whistleblower turned it up a notch and made it even more clear, to the point of being grotesque. I guess now they are just plowing ahead at full speed to see how far they can get before they can stop pretending to do it for an actual reason other than torture porn.

I mean it's an upside down cross first and foremost, not to mention the majority of iterations of that name design don't have it on fire, that's just an exxtraw dawrk version or something.

You put a flaming cross in your logo, you don't get to pretend it's a neutral symbol. (note not you you) It's not like the worst thing ever, but it's crass. Like low merit exploitation films.

I mean for a normal game I might write it off as them just trying to edge even more out of the "upside down cross means satan" thing, but in a game specifically about redneck cultists it is kind of obvious.

Reviews are coming in and they're fairly consistent in ranking it a 7-8/10 game. Lots of praise for the graphics, sound design, and flashbacks sequences scattered throughout the game, lots of criticism of the stealth sections being too trial-and-error. It also gave the Polygon reviewer PTSD or something so that's a thing.

Outlast is the game I constantly kept confusing with I Am Alive and thought I already owned Is it worth $20 of my American dollars (or $28 I guess for the bundle on PS4)?

precision posted:Outlast is the game I constantly kept confusing with I Am Alive and thought I already owned $28 for both of them? Yeah, I'd say so. The first Outlast was pretty nerve wracking and there are wieners everywhere. It's chockablock with the most terrifying wieners you will ever see. mysterious frankie fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Apr 25, 2017 |

Looking forward to watching this millennial hipster's playthrough. Hahah. I'm not a fan of these "hide and seek" kinda horror games, but I love watching them if the person knows what they're doing and edits out and repeated deaths (The thing that puts me off playing them.) Watching Jay from RLM play Outlast one was really good in an adorable kinda way. The dude hasn't really played games since the SNES days and was fighting to get to grips with the dual analogue sticks, but when he did he was absorbed with the game... Until the aforementioned repeated deaths and constantly hiding in a cupboard over and over. We wanting to start a dick-count? Dicks count for double too if they get stabbed!

It looks like the stealth is a lot more trial and error bad in this one from watching people so far, the hicks randomly have night-vision eyes sometimes it seems.

About halfway through it, the game is kinda meh. It feels like the stealth degraded from the DLC even though now you can hide in bush but most stealth parts just have you double back to lose the bad guys instantly. Sometimes the bad guys even despawn once you lose them. I have a feeling that I can somewhat guess the twist because its so heavy handed with the dream sequences.

So much trial and error, my God. The atmosphere/visuals are great but having to read the developers mind during stealth/chase sequences is just demolishing my will to play. It didn't bother me in Outlast as much but this is unbelievably bad. Red Mundus fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Apr 26, 2017 |
