This Final Trailer For ‘Outlast 2’ Is Creepy As Hell!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Oh man, it’s finally almost here!

I have such a love/hate relationship with horror games. Often the atmosphere of these titles is absolutely incomparable, and the last few years has seen a huge resurgence in quality horror titles. My only problem is, when they’re good, they tend to be terrifying, and I can only play in short chunks before I simply get too freaked out – meaning that it takes me forever to finish these games.

This was the case with Outlast. This is still the case with Resident Evil 7, and I’m sure that this will be the case with Outlast 2.

In the game, “as journalists, you and your wife have a reputation for taking risks and digging into the stories no one else dares to touch, but this time you may have gone too far. Your investigation of a seemingly impossible murder has lead you deep into the Arizona desert, and into a darkness so wicked that no light could ever shine upon it.

No conflict is ever black and white. But once the dust has settled, the victors get to decide who was right and who was wrong. Who is good and who is evil. Human nature pushes us to extremes of violence and depravity, which we then justify by divine inspiration and a promise of paradise to come. Horror rises from desperation and blind faith. Outlast 2 will test your faith, pushing players to a place where going mad is the only sane thing to do.”

The game launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC tomorrow, and for PS4 and Xbox One gamers, there’s even a $40 limited physical release that includes Outlast, Outlast: Whistleblower, and Outlast 2.

For now, take a look at this super creepy final trailer, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the game!

‘Outlast 2’ Looks Absolutely Terrifying, Watch A New Gameplay Video!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Oh man, this looks freaking scary.

I was a huge fan out the first Outlast, as the short, beautiful title took a neat spin on the survival horror genre, which at the time seemed to be becoming far, far too combat heavy.

Outlast was different, and it was one of the first titles in a long time that made you truly afraid to look in the darkness (and with the limited use of batteries for your camera’s night vision, you were looking in the darkness a lot).

Now, developer Red Barrels has debuted a new gameplay video for Outlast II, which depicts a terrifying chase through the scariest-looking cornfield ever imagined.

Take a look, and be sure to let us know what you think. Outlast II is set to release this Fall.

Seriously, I love horror games… this looks like it may be a little too much for me.

No conflict is ever black and white. But once the dust has settled, the victors get to decide who was right and who was wrong. Who is good and who is evil. Human nature pushes us to extremes of violence and depravity, which we then justify by divine inspiration and a promise of paradise to come. Horror rises from desperation and blind faith. OUTLAST 2 will test your faith, pushing players to a place where going mad is the only sane thing to do.

Get Your Diapers Ready, Here’s The First Trailer For May 6th’s ‘Outlast: Whistleblower’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Outlast is awesome… at least for the short, short period of time that I’ve been able to play the game.

See, right from the opening moment, the gorgeous independent title is absolutely terrifying. I just can’t bring myself to play the game for very long at all.

I better get on it, as next week the Outlast: Whistleblower DLC launches for PC and PS4. It’ll cost a cool $8.99, and judging from the just-released first trailer, it’ll be just as terrifying as the base game.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be picking this one up.

Whistleblower will let you play as Waylon Park, a software engineer under contract with Murkoff and the man who emailed journalists around the world – including Miles – at the beginning of Outlast. Spending a couple of weeks at Mount Massive, during which he was unable to even talk to his wife and son thanks to strict security protocols, Waylon developed a deep-seated distrust of the profit-motivated scientists and doctors leading dangerous and irresponsible experiments on their patients. Identifying with those poor souls fueled Waylon’s anger, and set the stage for his unmasking of Mount Massive’s rotten core.

 

Although Whistleblower tells the story that led to Outlast, it will actually stretch past the events of the first game to show the final chapter in Mount Massive Asylum’s story.
