The Evil Within - PS4 Review [Player Attack]

Player Attack: I’m just gonna come out and say it. Much like punk, Survival Horror is dead and has been since the mid-2000s. I say that with a heavy heart because that genre was one of my favourites. Masterpieces like Silent Hill and Resident Evil knew how to scare the shit out of you, by exposing the most basic of human fears, simply rendering the player powerless- also faceless monsters, they helped too.

This shouldn't have happened.

Who's next..

JEECE100d ago

Ninja Theory, most likely.

tay8701100d ago

Ninja theory. Others will follow as well. The smaller studios MS owns should all be worried. Maybe MS will try and release some of their games day and date on ps5 to save some of these studios.

jznrpg100d ago

I can see Ninja Theory. At least Tango made a game that was reviewed well. Ninja Theory spent a lot of years to release a tech demo that didn’t do well at all.

repsahj100d ago

I get it that Hellblade 2 is a boring game, but I hope they are not the next to be closed.

@repssahj

Ninja Theory is likely on the chopping block too. They released Bleeding Edge which bombed, took 4 years to release Hellbalde 2 which doesn’t seem to be doing well, and still have Project Mara in limbo. They’re high on the chopping block.

MS was likely expecting their God of War / Uncharted quality game from NT based on Heavenly Sword, Enslaved, DmC, and to an extent Hellblade 1, but NT hasn’t delivered since Hellblade 1 which was 7 years ago.

I rarely agree with you but on this I do!

PRIMORDUS100d ago

3 trillion MS is worth, yet they do this, well Phil the shit bag did. No studio needed to be let go, when you are worth this much.

Sad, but I see characters and posters of either less than average or barely average games.

LoveSpuds100d ago

Have to disagree here duder, with respect. Evil Within was a good game and the sequel was fantastic, as was HiFi Rush. I'd concede Ghostwire was pretty average but regardless, shuttering a studio which just put out MS best game in donkeys years was complete shithousery on XBox' part.

Einhander1972100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

Microsoft paid 8B to buy Zenimax then fired well over 1000 people from Zenimax between the time they closed the deal and they announced these shut downs.

People talk about the 1900 they fired most recently, but that was only one wave of three sets of layoffs from their gaming division so far this generation totalling around 5000 people this generation. Not counting the dozen plus studios they canned last gen including Lionhead the original Fable developers.

anast100d ago

By every real metric HiFi was an average game. I don't see an Evil within poster in the thumb, which is a shame, because if they threw their weight behind that IP, they might have still been around.

LoveSpuds100d ago

I don't understand how you can say it was average in every metric when it garnered the reviews it did?

Working people paying the price for leadership bad decisions, so unfair...
