In the east, it's supposed to be so they can't sense that you're alive. In this game, it's purely so you make less noise, as the enemies aren't undead.

Its true, I just about spat out my Cornflakes when I saw the title of the game pop up. Used to hang around this area all through my younger days and knew the tales, there's an area near by called Kenfig Pool which also has a tale about it. My Dad used to tell me of the time he and his mates were camping at Kenfig Pool and hears the bell ringing so all legged it home! He also thought he saw the "Black Friar" in the old castle ruins above Margam Park.

@andrewhickinbottom1051
@andrewhickinbottom1051 4 года назад
Its a shame they made this detailed, immersive world, but the camera controls look so jerky and stiff. I know that is in part due to the controller, but some mouse smoothing / drift would go a long way in making it feel more immersive and less videogamey. It doesnt exactly need twitchy, responsive controls either, judging from the sort of game it is. Crysis 2 had some fantastically smooth FPS lookaround controls for a console shooter, and Star Citizen has adjustable mouse smoothing which means you can get some really smooth and natural movement when you look around. Jerky view movement, and other immersion breaking things like not being able to see your own feet or shadows has always been a pet peeve of mine in first person games.
@matman000000
@matman000000 2 года назад
How is mouse smoothing more immersive? You don't slowly turn your head and eyes when you look around, that's a cinematic pan inherited from movies. If anything, having the controls immediately respond to your actions is more immersive.

Again, I feel as though this was another "avoid enemy walking simulator" contrary to this gentleman's point. This must be at this point its own subgenre and I feel as though should be made apparent by the developers and recognized as such (as the gaming community generally does). There is nothing wrong with that. If a population enjoys it, pump em out. It just leaves so much to be desired. Whether it be to budget or artistic design, the lack of virtual engagement the character has with the environment coupled with "piecing together" the story exemplified by listening to recordings and reading notes along the way maybe had its place 6-7 years ago when Penumbra blew the door open but dam. Give me gameplay. Dont get me wrong. This is, technically, a well made, gorgeous game. That being said, why are aesthetics and beautiful graphics valued higher than, dare I say it, immersion? Credit where credits due. Maid of Sker did something well. It took this subgenre to a peak and waved the flag. Much props. Maybe someone else can help me with me my crazy problem. I'm a guy that found the first Outlast a very enjoyable, in fact, one the best modern horror games lately. Could someone explain the difference between that game and this subgenre? Or would you put them in the same field? If so, then I'm a hypocrite.
@dorafidersek2517
@dorafidersek2517 4 года назад
Outlast is a gift from God. For me this game is not scary at all. For example it has a lot of ground, many hallways, but none of them build the tension. Unlike Silent Hill when graphics were much more dated, but the athmosphere was so terrifying, with many hallways as well (example the school), but every hallway was nerve wracking. Also P.T..... How can ONE hallway be more scary then hundreds? Plus it's also a half an hour game and this is what like 4 hours? I think it lacks story and atmosphere and I don't know, few things we haven't seen, not just running around finding clues. Now Outlast is a masterpiece and not very likely any game will be better that it. Outlast is still by far one of the most scariest games since 2013. I feel like this is just some kind of 'wannabe' of Outlast. The same as you have to hide or run from your enemies, you have objectives, no weapon... And don't get me started on Outlast 2, another brilliant masterpiece. I looooved how disturbing it was, how it included religion and Christ. Now that was amazing. Also 10 \10 for the monster. Another setback is lack of monolog. I like when the main protagonist is telling himself sth like "Am I going crazy?" or "What the hell was that thing?". Maybe that's just me. Overall (sorry for being boring) this game is boring for me. Not an interesting story really, monsters not scary at all (feels like slenderman) and the atmosphere is just dull. And the lady singing... I found it more beautiful then disturbing idk. My ratings: 2\10

Got it for free on xbox. Playing it on xbox SX as I wrote this. I enjoyed this game alot, i didnt expect much when I fired it up, but it really surprised me and I would recommend it to everyone if you like horror or if you like to variety play. I put the framerate limiter off as keeping it on for me made the game laggy. I think this might be 60 fps with the limiter off, not sure though as I can't measure it. All in all a good game.
