![]() We will keep the new game true to the classic experience, keeping all the things you loved while giving today's gamers the modern look and feel expected from a AAA title. You can preorder it hereĪfter two decades, Nightdive Studios is rebooting and re-imagining the original System Shock. I can’t wait to find out early next year.The full version of System Shock is coming soon to GOG.com. Whether it’s an entity, the religious fanatics, or simply the main character going insane that is transporting the character from the town to the other location remains to be seen. I would never say a horror series as in-your-face as Outlast resembles Silent Hill in tone, but I believe Red Barrels may be drawing some inspiration from the classic franchise for their plot. Not only will we be experiencing the terror of being hunted by crazed Christian extremists, but I think there will be some psychological horror. The place we’re transported to in the demo seems very personal to our main character, and I think we’ll be learning much more about our protagonist than in the first game. This shift to the supernatural and the theme of religion in Outlast 2 is a breath of fresh air and allows Red Barrels to get creative with their creatures, set-pieces, locations, and scares. Part of what made it so scary was how gritty and grounded it felt the events in the game (besides maybe the final encounters) didn’t feel like they were that far removed from reality. Outlast was a great game and a terrifying experience. The Outlast 2 demo has me extremely excited. The camera has a limited battery life, however, so you’ll have to make use of your night vision wisely, and scrounge for batteries when you’re not being chased by a murderous lunatic. The handy-dandy camera returns from Outlast and its night vision will be your only means of navigating areas too dark to see naturally. ![]() You can look behind you and peek around corners too, which will be useful in keeping tabs on how close you are to being grabbed by a goon. Because you’re defenseless, hiding and outmaneuvering enemies will be very important. You’ll still be walking, sprinting, and sneaking around locations with no means of defending yourself. Gameplay remains largely unchanged from Outlast. Wow, you’re not filming your terrifying found-footage horror movie in 4K? C’mon, man. I apologize for being vague, but even with a demo, It’s something to experience for yourself. The Outlast universe is incredibly dark, and what you’ll find in this room lets the player and protagonist know exactly what they’ve gotten themselves into, as well as maybe provide motivation to push forward and hopefully find the truth and get the story out to the world. It’s definitely there for shock value, but I don’t believe it’s here just for tastelessness sake, and it doesn’t come off as an attempt at being edgy, either. This room contains some imagery that I imagine quite a lot of people will be very upset about, but I’m sure that’s the intention. Getting out of that place as quickly as impossible, you discover a room at least one hundred times as distressing as the last. The first room you enter has some sort of blood-soaked altar or manger along with a grossly creepy broken doll. There isn’t much going on here besides the back door being pulled back and forth by the wind, but after leaving this location and crawling under a fence you cautiously go underground. Knocking and shouting got you no assistance earlier, so you enter one of the homes through the window. These are good indicators that it’s about time to get the hell out of here, but wifey’s still missing so you press on. You may not notice the figures watching you in dark corners of the area and from further down the path who skulk away if you glance past them. You’ll notice there’s a cow carcass partly covered, with a shovel shoved in its side and its guts spilling out. You walk forward and continue your search and find a small group of houses. You’ve been separated from your wife (who’s a fellow ridiculously brave journalist) and your character calls out to her as you take your first few steps. The demo starts with our protagonist taking a tumble and picking himself back up along with his glasses and camera. You and your wife are investigating the murder of a pregnant woman known only as Jane Doe. Outlast 2 is set in a spooky, remote part of the Arizona desert. Which is just a bigger outdoor asylum, I guess, Outlast 2 ditches the asylum for the Arizona desert.
