JPS Writes: "Survival horror is back and it’s never been more terrifying or twisted. Indie developer Red Barrels has reminded us that true terror still exists in video games with their game Outlast. And given recent “horror” releases such as Resident Evil 6 and Dead Space 3, Outlast comes as a much needed savior for the genre. It’s dark, gritty, horrifying, intense and various other fear-inducing adjectives. It’s a game with only a handful of mechanics, which only heighten the sense of helplessness, and an atmosphere that is second to none. And now PlayStation 4 owners are getting their first taste of terror (while PC players have known fear since this past September) as it has opened the doors to the asylum to a new audience."
Footage from what appears to be a prototype build of Red Barrels' first-person psychological survival horror game, Outlast, has emerged.
This sounds interesting. Red Barrels is teaming up with Lionsgate and renown horror producer Roy Lee to develop a feature film anchored in the rich and horrifying universe of the Outlast series.
It has to be. I hope they learned with Borderlands that PG-13 is not the way if the source material is an M-Rated game.

Very safe list of horror games. I would argue that Amnesia Machine for Pig was not that great. Dark Descent was much a much better game.
Far better games have been released in this genre (Dead Space Remake, Alien Isolation, Alan Wake 2 etc).
My wife and I had an argument, and her way to make up to me was to play an hour of Outlast in the dark with the headphones on. She was terrified afterwards. Funny as heck to me. This is the scariest game ever made. Hands down. Opening the door to an unexplored room seems like a test of bravery. The sick and twisted images you see stay with you. For instance, I climbed up a wall and seen an inmate having sex with a headless corpse. He seen me, popped up, then called me sick for watching him. Funny and derranged all at once. But lasting all the way until the end will test your manhood.
Agreed, this game gives me a very unsettling feeling while playing.
Last game that gave me a similar feeling was Condemned; close combat, dark rooms... but Outlast is better in giving me the creeps
I put my self in the best setting i can. 1:00 am, home alone for the weekend, all lights off, fully charged Pulse Elite headset, volume and bass cranked all the way up, open the door of my room to a dark empty house. " im ready to play".........ha I must have lied to myself, it was a bad idea. Never has a game made me jump and look over my shoulder in my own house, I swear I could feel and hear my own heart beat while wear the headset. For a sec I thought I was going to have a heart attack....dont care playing it through to the end and getting my Balls back that were taken from the beginning of this game.
Finished the game, played it in the dark with 5.1 digital surround, great intense ride! 8.5 game for me.
