“The PlayStation 4’s resolution is very high, so the picture is gorgeous. In regards to lighting, the parts that were rather sketchy in the past, can now be done with much more detail, which I believe is a big part of the evolution.”
Nice

"it’s very important to have the tools and engines to properly keep up with the PlayStation 4 itself.” - Shinji Mikami

Sony you heard him, get PhyreEngine 4.0 completed, which could help Game Developer make Games!

Improved visuals are always important as time goes on. It allows for better immersion when playing a game, as well as seeing the art direction of a studio or developer to express how they portray a scene.

No point, this game won't match that of LAST OF US in gameplay and just sheer story...surely be a rewarding experience..but a one time one. IMO.

AbortMission4347d ago

And you know this because you've played the game? Seriously, just because the Last of Us was a good game doesn't mean you have to knock out every other decent game. Not to mention this is SURVIVAL HORROR

Monstar4347d ago

So is The Last of US..and this game also confirmed by shinji Mikami will have action/horror elements much like other games, just not to the same extent.

AbortMission4347d ago

LOL The Last of Us is not Survival Horror.

@Monstar:

Considering Naughty Dog never made a game that comes even close to the masterpieces Shinji Mikami has made in his carrier, I doubt your words.

Monstar4347d ago

Also what he explains is common sense, unless he his directing the japanese market, but even then that isn't an issue...he just wants some fame and gain, ALA many of what the americans are doing with their personalities.

@Monsta
wat are u even talking about

Monstar4347d ago (Edited 4347d ago )

He wants more air time. its a new trend. thanks to cliffy b. He suppose to be the father of horror remember.

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

Love both games, hope that we will get third game

Silent Hill Creator Sees Himself Collaborating With Resident Evil Creator Shinji Mikami in Future

Silent Hill's creator Keiichiro Toyama shared his openness to a potential future collaboration with Resident Evil creator, Shinji Mikami.

-Foxtrot242d ago

This would be a dream come true if they pull it off.

I’d love it if it started out in a mansion then once you got out of the first chapter or so it would open up into the small mountain town we can explore freely, similar to The Evil Within 2 hub levels.

Armyofdarkness241d ago

Sending Chris to Silent Hill to atone for punching that boulder would be great.

Notsofast241d ago

hopefully they work something out

CrimsonWing69241d ago

Ok, this would be beyond epic if anything comes from it.
