Briefly: We were pretty disappointed when Shinji Mikami’s return to survival-horror, The Evil Within, was pushed back to October, and our hands-on with the game back in June certainly didn’t table our excitement.

The game is scheduled for release on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on October 14, and TGS has brought an excellent new trailer for the anticipated title. Seriously, this trailer channels some classic survival horror, and I can’t wait to get my hands on this game.

Here’s what SJ thought when she played the game back at E3:

And it is scary. We screamed a little bit during our play through. And at one point, as we were sloshing waist deep through thick, congealing blood attempting to solve a puzzle to get to the next room, we were certainly viscerally affected by the well-realized world. Stealth and sneak attacks are preferred; noise and light draw unwanted attention. And the zombie/monster/box-man creatures? Only stay dead after you burn them. And matches are in short supply.

Between The Evil Within and Hideo Kojima/Guillermo Del Toro’s Silent Hills, it sounds like a phenomenal time to be a survival horror fan. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think! If you’re a PS4 owner and you haven’t checked out P.T., you’re definitely missing out.

Briefly: It almost seems as though we’ve seen more delays than AAA game releases this year, and that trend is set to continue with two announcements today.

First up, Bethesda has pushed Shinji Mikami’s anticipated The Evil Within by two months, stating that “Shinji Mikami and his team at Tango Gameworks have asked for additional time to further balance and refine the game in order to deliver the polished, terrifying pure survival horror experience they set out to create.” The game will now release in October.

Next up, gorgeous-looking PS4 exclusive The Order: 1886 has been pushed to early 2015. Ready At Dawn’s delay announcement was much more subtle, hidden among the text of a Playstation Blog post detailing the latest info on the shooter.

Which game were you most looking forward to? Are you disappointed in the delays, or would you rather have a better finished product?

Briefly: Bethesda has just launched a creepy new trailer for Shinji Mikami’s Summer horror game, The Evil Within.

The latest video shows the game’s protagonist probably going crazy, and then (appropriately) questing his sanity himself. The trailer shows off some absolutely gorgeous segments, and also features exactly the creepy shit that you’d expect to see from the creator of Resident Evil.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the game. The Evil Within launches for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC on August 26th.

Briefly: Finally, Shinji Mikami and Tango Gameworks The Evil Within has a release date.

The survival horror title (which looks fantastic, check out some gameplay footage here) will launch in North America on August 26th, and Europe on August 29th.

As a big fan of survival horror games, 2014 really seems like a great year to follow the genre. The fantastic Outlast just launched for PS4, Zombie Studios Daylight looks promising, Techland’s Dying Light should be awesome, and there are plenty of other games coming down the pipeline. Unless a Silent Hill reboot is announced (that doesn’t suck), Mikami’s name attached to The Evil Within could be the best news the genre has had in years, and it certainly has horror fans excited.

Are you looking forward to this one? Sound out below!

While investigating the scene of a gruesome mass murder, Detective Sebastian Castellanos and his partners encounter a mysterious and powerful force. After seeing the slaughter of fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a deranged world where hideous creatures wander among the dead. Facing unimaginable terror and fighting for survival, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel what’s behind this evil force.

Briefly: I love survival horror. At least, I love what survival horror used to be. Sure, we had the absolutely incredible The Last of Us earlier this year (though that was much more survival than horror), and there’s some excellent looking PC titles on the market right now (Outlast anyone?). Sadly, the once mighty greats of the genre have fallen, and current Resident Evil and Silent Hill titles are nothing but average action games.

With The Evil Within, Bethesda Softworks and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami are hoping to reinvigorate the classic survival horror genre, and I couldn’t be more excited. A new, extended gameplay video for the title has just been released, and it looks absolutely unreal.

Take a look at the footage below, and let us know what you think! The Evil Within is still a ways away, and simply has a release date of 2014 at this point, but the game will launch on PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4.

After witnessing a mysterious force slaughter his fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When the video opens, he finds his world has been turned upside down. Facing unimaginable terror and fighting for survival in a world where hideous creatures wander among the dead, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel who or what is behind this unimaginable evil.
