Making of The Evil Within

"Survival horror has been drifting away from what it makes survival horror. And so I want to bring it back." those are the words of the famous Shinji Mikami creator of Resident Evil. With his studio Tango Gameworks  based in Tokyo he will try to restore the essence of the genre with their debut game The Evil Within.

"There are a lot of survival horror games out there nowadays, but the thing that I want to focus on is having the perfect balance between horror and action." that is according to Mikami's opinion the essence of a pure survival horror. We or at least I am really looking forward to this since I am a horror game fan. For all the hopes of all horror game fans and the reputation of Shinji Mikami we all hope it will be a great success.

Here are some screenshots that were released with the video.

 

No one, no where kind of a bad omen? 

 

Ok this IS kinda bad.

 

Safehead says Hello.

 

 

That wall behind you really needed repainting. 

 

Oh sorry I didn't know you were changing in here.

Bethesda teases finally reveal the truth - The Evil Within announced

After a couple of creepy teaser trailers of the last few days Bethesda has finally revealed via a short yet longer than before teaser trailer The Evil Within. The upcoming title will be a survivor-horror game developed by Shinji Mikami the developer behind titles like Resident Evil and Resident Evil 4.

According to Bethesda more info will be coming on Monday. Now without further adieu lets have a  look at the new really disturbing live action trailer. Those of you that are fans of horror movies from the 90s will surely enjoy it.

Bethesda Softworks teasers - could it be a new Fallout or something else?

Since April 16th Bethesda been uploading short teaser videos of a new project that is somehow connected to these short loop videos. Some are theorizing that they are teasers for a new Fallout game others like Eurogamer think it is a new Wolfenstein or Project Zwei or the project is something completely new.

What do we know about these short teasers, since April 16th there has always been at least one video per day on Bethesdas twitter. They all go in an infinite loop and for me they appear in a way to be disturbing with this feeling being greater with every new video.

The first video shows a barbed wire with a scratchy record sound.

                                                      

The second video shows Sunflowers burning (well that can't be good) with a man behind them (really starting to creep me out) the scratchy record sound appears again.

And the last trailer from less than 15 hours ago shows a creepy window with one light source and it would appear something is moving in the darkness.

What do these short teasers mean no one knows exactly we will be awaiting another video today and see if it gives us more clues. Or better wait for an official statement from Bethesda. We will keep you updated.

What do you all think? Do the videos thus far make sense? What could possibly be this new title?

Development behind Whore of the Orient - supposedly ended?

 

As of now the team responsible for creating Whore of the Orient, a detective thriller set in 1936, with L.A. Noir creator Brendan McNamara  is reported to be shutting down after loosing its publishers financial support. Until now they were part of a KMM games division.

Interestingly after loosing their publisher at the end of 2012 the team still was looking for employees most recently a lead programmer which date goes back to April 5th 2013. There are possibilities that the studio might have been looking for new employees till the last minute or it was close to gaining a new publisher. But with the controversies behind Team Bondis closure the distrust of the investors is quite understandable. 

The actual situation is not 100% for sure and still wasn't confirmed from KMM.
