I'm Never Playing Outlast 2 Again - Twinfinite

Ed from Twinfinite: "Seriously, screw Outlast 2. Here’s some background: I am absolutely terrified by any sound at night that isn’t coming out of my TV. When I’m the last person to leave a big room and I have to shut the light, I sprint out of there at full speed. When I was little, I accidentally watched some Dracula movie and slept with the covers around my neck until my teenage years. Now, fast-forward to PAX East 2016, my day of unending terror. "

I couldn't even play the first one, let alone this one.

[Drake714]

me too...it was pathetic

[ORyanDeee]

im not into horror games so i watched my friend play it. Was funny watching him freak out at the jump scares lol.

[DragonDDark]

Sanks spoodrman. Dem dank memes are scary doe. Espshaly the spooky skeletons.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

ah good ol n4g where people create their own aliases and roleplay

[Ezz2013]

Nothing seems to make me jump of my seat like Ps1 games any more
there is nothing in outlast was scary for me

the only game that was pretty good at being scary was Siren Ps3

[bouzebbal]

I played the first one, didn't go that far in it i think the game was cheesy overall.
Didn't scare me it was so predictable and boring.

[gamerb6]

Dont be scared, get someone to hold your hand

[NarooN]

Modern day meme culture is incredibly atrocious.

[battletrax]

Modern day english can be atrocious.

[Crueltylizer]

Your not alone. Spend 30 mins on it and then quit and uninstalled and never looked back.

[leemo19]

Outlast 1 was good, but it was very over hyped. Going by the game-play of Outlast 2 doesn't seem to much has changed other than the scenery of it.

[coolbeans]

I think you're really underselling it. There certainly seems to be more mechanical depth with the camera this time around. Plus, the possible hiding spots seems more natural this time around than sticking with lockers and beds for majority of hiding spots.

[starchild]

You tell 'em, boy. Everybody's out of step but Johnny, right?

[WeAreLegion]

I don't really get scared, for the most part, but playing Outlast in VR is a little too real. When things are making noise behind you and you turn around to see it, your brain no longer thinks you're in a video game. So, it reacts accordingly. I love it.

[fenome]

I bet it would be a trip in VR! I played it with good headphones and that made me jumpy as it was, can't even imagine it in full VR.

[mafiahajeri]

Man I'm gonna get high and play that for sure xD

[AshleeEmerson]

This is my ONLY problem with VR - Horror Gaming. Games Like this would seemingly end VR before it really begins properly. I know, some of you may be thinking, "what's the big deal, it's just a video game"? But it's not, just like a movie, it's an experience, that immerses you to the point to where you'll be sucked in; but for some reason these horror games gets me and others like no other games. I love scary games but just a few minutes of this game and I'm ripping my 7.1 headphones off... Too immersive? Lol, how can I fight against what always dreamed of in gaming? Makes no sens but... I hope Sony is really careful with this genre, I couldn't take off my headphones fast enough so imagine if I had on virtual reality... I'd die :) the reality is that I'm not kidding and it scares me.

(on a weird note, playing virtual reality reminded me that we're (human life) is just an advanced program. Imagine a Playstation 900 and here we are just a program on a computer chip and instead of things like extremely advanced nurbs and tessellation, npc (us) consciousness is in it's 5th iteration of development.0

I imagine the first year Sony and other companies after something (many times) horrible happens, having to give an extreme disclaimer.

Idk, just a silly thought :)

I definitely saw a video of a guy playing a horror game in VR, and by the end of it he was in tears. There's definitely a point at which it stops being entertaining, and the only thing you want to do is stop playing. I feel like horror games might initially sell well, because people will want to experience that level of horror, but once they experience it, they'll be turned off by how traumatizing it is, and the popularity of such games will decline. There'll be a handful of adrenaline junkies who still play them, but that won't be enough people to encourage development of them.

On the other hand, I think VR, ironically, could scare some sense into people. It could make them realize how fucked up many of the things they derive entertainment from are in real life. Of course, making games that are unpleasant in this way isn't commercially viable, but I think it's necessary. People can get a strong sense of how bad such things are without REALLY having to experience them. Having said that, I definitely believe that VR could traumatize people - i.e. really harm them.

[Fist4achin]

Welcome to the Matrix! Aren't we really just atoms held together by electronic bonds or something like that. I'm not a science whiz, but I think that is what we are simply made of !?

Wow, that's kind of deep...

[zidane1341]

How the F would this ruin VR gaming? Just because some people are pansies? Give me a break.

[WeAreLegion]

Palmer has talked about this. It's dangerous.

@iNFAMOUZ1 - Dude. You gotta relax. We love horror. It's just a lot more terrifying in VR. Which is great.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

^people like you guys are the reason why horror games these days sucks, if you know its going to be scarier than the last gen of play, then why play it in the first place? just don't
i'll tell you what, horror games were the major hit in dk2, so i imagine horror games to take control of the best genre for vr once the titles start pumping out

[UltraNova]

I find modern horror games, not that scary apart form the occasional jump scare that wears off after a while. That said a game like Amnesia, Outlast or PT in VR should scare the shit out of anyone. Imagine being in that corridor in PT looking around and suddently you hear someone breathing down your neck...Ok that's it for tonight!
*turns everything off and goes to bed.

I'm definetly trying horror games when PSVR comes out!

@Fist4achin

Its called 'chemical bonds' (covalent/ionic).

[Simco876]

Good god people. You have a huge headset on, how can you not always know you are in a video game. You aren't plugged into it like the matrix.

[WeAreLegion]

You have no idea, dude. You can, in fact, forget you're playing a game.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Heart attack statistic would skyrocket the month this launches, lol

[BlakHavoc]

Is this in VR? If so I may have to experience this...

[WeAreLegion]

It isn't designed for VR, but you'll be able to play it in VR pretty soon after release, thanks to 3rd party programs.

[starchild]

Yep, VorpX and the like.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

The first one was a surprise hit, it was maybe the first downloadable PSN game that I took seriously and didn't see as just a mini game or an old school favorite. Outlast 2 sounds really interesting, definitely looking forward to it.

[Smitty2020]

Sorry I agree with you I pressed the disagree by mistake

[Dragonking007]

Thanks to p.t. i dont dont think ill ever fear anything again :D

[dillhole]

I liked the first one but it was a bit short and towards the end the scare factor wore off and it was just a bit samey. I hope they addressed those issues this time around.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Should've played Whistleblower which I felt is much better than the main game.

[extermin8or]

The whistle-blower was scarier than the main game I found... Especially bit where you are stuck limping...

[ShadowWolf712]

It's also somewhat plot-important and offers a more satisfying ending as well as better potential sequel setup.

[Smitty2020]

Some of these comments are completely ridiculous outlast is ace iv had so many fun hours with the game, am really looking forward to number 2

[DafunkyRebel]

the first one made my balls shrivel so maybe I won't be playing the second anytime soon

[Anomander]

This game should have been done in VR. Not sure how good it will be if VR is added to it later.

[Gears_President]

Yeah I never finished the first one...and it was the first horror game that made save and shut it off...I believe him

[VTKC]

I cant play these. The fact i cant retaliate and hit back at the enemies is seriously too unerving for me. I had the privilege to watch a friend play the first game and DLC. Was highly enjoyable just to watch. Was like a movie. Very good game. I look forward to spectating my friend in this one.

[zodiac909]

VR has the potential to bring survival horror back from the grave! Maybe Resident Evil 7 will be centred around it since we haven't heard or seen anything from it in so long.

[slavish0]

I can't wait. Finished 1st and the dlc

[Arrow2283]

Always say to your self " Sam and Dean Winchester would have this solved in 10 mins. haha

[thelaughingwiseman]

Very cool. I really like survival horror games, where you mainly do more running than shooting. Jump scare games suck. I like games where there is a story (doesn't have to be over complex but still engaging), there has to be ambient noise (to keep me anxioius), confusing/ disorienting locations, and characters that are weak (not walking tanks with OP weapons or extreme health). Get those ingredients right, and you got yourself a costumer :D

[mogwaii]

Damn i wish i hadnt grown to be an old pussy, lol, cause this looks awesome! Love the new setting, great texas chainsaw massacre horror movie vibe, scary as f**k which is why i cant play it....just wish i had someone i could watch play it :(

[gantarat]

well,outlast 2 take place in the same universe as Outlast (after) and developer said Murkoff Corporation will appearance. so i bet this is another their fail/accident experiment and make local people think it's demon/satan (i'm not surprise if Nano Miles show up in game).

[Agent_hitman]

This and the Silent hill are my most scariest game ever.. The first Outlast I've played was so scary that I had to take a break every 30 minutes of gameplay just to lower dosage and the trembling of my hands.

[tigertron]

I really need to work up the courage to finish the first game. I'm about half way through...

[PS4PC]

does it support VR ?

[Skankinruby]

This game looks all kinds of sexy. I loved the first one so much and if they do this in vr it would be amazing

[bluefire9016]

The best Demo review ive read ever!
