Outlast is out now on the Nintendo Switch. The two games in the series were ported to the Nintendo Switch by the developer Red Barrels and they seem to hold up surprisingly well against the console version, however with a penalty to the frame rate that drops from the 60 FPS target on PS4 and Xbox One to 30 FPS on Nintendo Switch.
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).
You don't have to explain lol.. We all know Switch is underpowered.
I bet I can guess before even reading.... not enough power. And outlast isn’t exactly a graphics powerhouse on the real consoles either so rendering a quarter of the game (I’ll assume resolution is 720p or less here) at half the framerate doesn’t impress me.
From the article.
"Keeping the 60fps on switch would have been impossible. I mean, we would have had to cut so much that it would not have been the same game. Games like Mario do it but their lighting is extremely simple, most objects don’t cast shadows or anything, which obviously doesn’t work for a game that is all about hiding in the dark. They also barely have post-fx or anti aliasing."
"The Switch version DOES include the new Story mode, but does NOT include the restored previously censored content."
bummer. but that doesnt mean the game isnt fun regardless
