With E3 starting this week, developers and publishers have been giving us glimpses at their new games. One of them happens to be a cool looking new horror game based on one of Lovecraft’s most famous stories.
Call of Cthulhu is an upcoming Horror/RPG based on H.P. Lovecraft’s ”Call of Cthulhu”. Players take the role of an investigator who must uncover the truth behind a mysterious town called ”Dark Water”. This is not a sequel to the 2005 game ”Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth” but rather a reboot of the game series. The game is being developed by Cyanide Studios.
I’m sure we will be seeing more information on this game this week, since E3 starts this Sunday. I am so excited to see what horror games will be announced, there have been some heavy rumors about a new Resident Evil and a sequel to The Evil Within being revealed. Looks like horror might make a return to mainstream gaming once more.
Eli Roth’s September and October couldn’t get any better with the release of the infamous and controversial cannibal film “The Green Inferno” in September and with the recent news about using CG for a giant 70-foot, 60,000 Megalodon shark in the film adaptation to the Steve Alten novel “Meg.”
A new trailer has been released for Roth’s October 9th released film “Knock Knock” starring Keanu Reeves as a family man left alone at home. When two gorgeous seductresses, Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas, show up at his doorstep, a dangerous and thrilling fantasy ensues that takes a turn for the worse, diving into a nightmare and into a deadly game of cat and mouse.
Keep up with “Knock Knock” on all the following platforms:
Since this game is still in early access and not yet finished, I will wait til it is a finished product then do a full review.
Layers of Fear is a first person horror game that came out in early access on Steam. You play as a insane artist who walks through his own mind to discover what happened in his life.
After playing what is available in the game, all I can say is that this game has some GREAT potential. Layers of Fear has to be one of the most unique horror games I have played in a long time and I will go into detail on why I loved it.
Gameplay: The game is set in a first person perspective . There are no enemies and no combat, you simply walk through the area and move on, kind of like a haunted house attraction. I will say the gameplay is heavily inspired by P.T. So if you’re familiar with P.T. then this won’t feel all too different.
Graphics: The game’s visual are just flat out amazing. There is just so much detail in the environment, so much that it got me to looking and admiring the surroundings before moving on. The game runs on the Unity engine, which surprised me because I thought this game ran on the Unreal engine. This game is by far the best looking horror game I have seen on Unity and should be a great example on how to use Unity to make a game.
Atmosphere: This game has so much tension and that is how it should be. Every hallway I walked, every corner I turned I was very cautious and ready for what was coming. The game can even make you paranoid, which is good since this game is meant to be psychological horror. I just always felt like something was watching me.
Performance: Since this game is in early access, there are some performance issues. The game has a very choppy framerate. One area you will be at 40fps then the next area it will drop at 12fps. Even with the framerate drops, it is still very much playable so If you meet the system requirements then you shouldn’t have a problem. Just make sure to be patient until they optimize the game a bit more.
So there is my first impression of Layers of Fear. I highly recommend the game to any survival horror fan and I can’t wait to see what the developers do next.
YES! It is finally happening RE fans, we are finally getting our Resident Evil 2 remake! On August 12th, Capcom’s HR person did a video announcing that the remake for Resident Evil 2 has been given a green light. No other news has surfaced about the remake but there are a few things I would love to see happen in it.
For starters, this remake better be like the Resident Evil 1 remake. Have it stay true to the original but also have modern graphics and new voice acting. Bring in new characters, monsters and areas for players to discover. Hell even give us the option for fixed camera positions, I know many people didn’t like those but that’s what made Resident Evil extra scary and for being a Resident Evil veteran like me, I prefer the fixed camera positions. Last thing I really hope Capcom keeps in the remake is the HORROR! Please Capcom you have been doing so well this past year and I want to see if you still have what it takes to be the masters of survival horror. Please don’t let us down.
So I am excited for this and you bet your ass I’ll be buying this day one! So for nostalgic reasons here is one of the first trailers for Resident Evil 2.
Hell yes! P.T. still lives… well sorta. An awesome fan has remade the P.T. hallway on the Unity engine and it looks fantastic. The demo was developed from scratch simply going off Youtube videos and I must say this is just so fucking awesome.
Everything in the demo stays true to how the original P.T. was. From movement and sound to the environment and even Lisa herself!
The demo is free to all so please, if you didn’t get to play P.T. go play it now!
It’s amazing that this person took the time to make this . It keeps P.T. alive in some way forever and gives everyone who don’t have a PS4 to go and try it. What I love most is that dumb fuck Konami can’t do shit about it since the author makes no profit from it, and Konami will have no legal ground to take it away. So I will say what i said a million times before and I’ll say it again. FUCK YOU KONAMI!
It's Bloggin Evil!
