This is pretty much my thinking, my only problem is that it might be one of those games you can only play at night. Condmened 2, for example, I can't play when my other half is around because if she's not interested in the game then she'll be reading or something and I'll have to have the lights up. Is this going to be one of those games you have to play in the dark to see anything?

im gona be playing at night too, not only because of the atmosphere but if i play in the morning the sun always shines on the screen so i cant see anything and i cant put any blinds up since the windows are slanted like this /

I can't stop watching the trailer, the music is superb.

We have shutters here in France to block out the light (and heat) but this really is a game to be played at night to maximise the atmosphere.

My copy arrived in the post about 20 mins ago, but I am off to the gym in 10 mins so may try it when I get back, or I may have to do some work and wait until later to see what it's like...

anyone know if this has a co-op mode for the 360?

No co-op in this game, it's purely a single player experience.

Fan Trailer with Muse-ic

I played it for the first time with a friend last night. Was a lot of fun... in a "OMG here it comes!", "Wait, what the **** was that?!" and "IT'S NOT DEAD SHOOT IT'S LEGS OFF!!" eerie-horror kinda way

I really want this game but does it have much re-play value?

Or would you suggest holding out for a 2nd hand copy?

HeX · 23 Oct 2008 at 11:46

Just ordered this for PC (not got a 360 or PS3), i'll prolly play it on my 360 pad if the controls are as sluggish as reviewers claim. Well looking forward to it, just hope it arives by the weekend

So is this any good?

So, uhh, yes :rolleyes:

In my humble opinion of course... I hope the PC version is a fairly decent port but I don't mind buying it for the 360, worst case scenario, as it plays really well on that system and looks great! There are a few button combos to remember though which can be tricky when things get hairy... but that may well be my own problem as I don't use the 360 gamepad that often.

i would think its the same as re4 where you can play it again with the same weapons but at a harder setting

I think I read that you can select a harder setting but the weapons reset or you can replay but keep the levelled up items.

I was going to get this for the PC but having read the forums on a couple of sites there appears to be control lag issues. Bank ballance allowing I will pick up a copy tomorrow from the supermarket if it is normal price.

Just one thing, is it SCARY? :eek:
