After Outlast arrived earlier this year on PS4 (previously a PC exclusive released last year), it certainly made it’s presence known. Due to being free on PS+, and not many games to play on the new system, many gamers tried it out not knowing what to expect.
In a new podcast with "Wassup Conversations" David Chateauneuf, game designer of Outlast and co-founder of Red Barrels talks about techniques of making a horror game, the origin of Outlast and the future of horror before announcing their new game, teased last week.
And he has so many cool ideas about other horrors that he mentions in this interview.
I loves outlast. The first game was better with pacing. There were calm times before some chased you. The second game was terrifying because it felt like it you were continuingly getting chased but I don't think it made for a better game.
Outlast is the first and only game horror I decided not to finish due to it's intensity. It was a great game, but man I got so stressed out playing it. I never had the stones to try Outlast 2.
Gamer Professionals' Channel Director Jordan Ramée dives into video game censorship in the wake of the Australian controversy surrounding Outlast II.
"Instead of the scene just being cut from the Australian version of the game, apparently every copy of the game across every country would receive censored copies of Outlast II without that scene."
That's bogus. I agree with the ratings boards though, they are largely useless. Interesting article until they got into the "male gaze" crap.
I agree, it doesn't make ANY sort of sense. You'd think if one was okay, then the other would be as well!
Well even for me if one is not ok it should be violence. Let's see, sex is a natural that, hopefully, everyone gets to experience. Whereas violence is something that is usually frowned upon as it doesn't solve much. Of course violence is sometimes needed, but it's usually frowned upon. Again makes no damn sense. I blame parents that don't want to actually parent.
In this case it would be censoring violence. Unless you think rape is sexy lol. As much as I would love to blame Australia, this one is entirely on the devs or pub. At least for the rest of the world.
Whistleblower, Outlast's DLC, has redeemed the horror games in Aidan's eyes and made him want more.
"All this and more will serve Outlast II well. Early speculation and interviews have indicated a new direction for the game. "
