New game from ex-EA and Ubisoft
Even before watching this trailer forOutlast, I was happy on the basis that more independent designers are trying their hand at survival horror. This is currently in development at Montreal-basedRed Barrels, a studio made up of people who worked on thePrince of Persia,Assassin’s Creed, andSplinter Cellfranchises.
The video itself doesn’t unveil too much yet, though the prospect of wielding a camera instead of a gun has me optimistic.Outlasttakes place inside of Mount Massive Asylum, which, yeah — if this game is legitimately scary, that’s going to be embarrassing for us. Another trailer is planned for Halloween, while the full game is due out digitally on PC in 2013.
If you’re looking for new stuff to play and aren’t afraid of digging a little deeper to find less mainstream titles, now is a particularly good time to own a PC, especially for this genre. Let’s hopeOutlastcan join the ranks of recent horror hits.
