First game was brilliant action survival horror from the master Shinji Mikami. 2 looks like more of the same and also looks pretty good!! Think it uses the same game engine (highly modified ID Tech 5 with true real time lighting FX & ray tracing on the fly).

Steam page now up £39.99 or wait for 3rd party reseller keys (usually around £10-15 cheaper):

Do you have a link with info about the ray tracing?

First one was an underrated gem, pretty much the best Resident Evil game ever. The CGI trailer for this is fantastic piece of work as well. Really looking forward to this game.

Can't wait for this, first one was brilliant.

Found the first one really excellent for the first 4/5 hours then it just dragged and felt incredibly repetitive, need to go back and finish some time.

The Evil Within 1 uses the real time lighting FX (which was dropped by other devs due to how much load it puts on the GPU even a GTX1080 struggles at times @4K!! but it looks great when enabled proper realtime light FX). Carmack mentions somewhere the next game engine will use ray tracing (probably to generate the shadows. Most modern PC games use a basic form of ray tracing anyway as most of the gfx are generated on the fly which is why GPU is so important).

Interesting, I had heard rumours that ray tracing (in the conventional/expensive sense) was getting a closer possibility but had never heard of voxel octrees. Seems cryengine and others can do it was well, which is cool.

I agree. It felt like a modern sequel to the later Resident Evil games which worked for me. Loved the first one - can't wait for this one. Could be a rare pre-order for me...

Up for pre-order on Steam

Minibiker · 12 Jun 2017 at 17:39

This will be immense... Bought the first one for the missus but she got to scared and wouldn't play it,so I ended up playing most of it

will definitely get this one!

Added to my ever increasing Steam wishlist. The trailer looks awesome. I wont preorder it though, but will probably buy at release if its any good.

looks to be more of the same.

which sounds great to me, loved the first game.

Spook187 · 20 Jun 2017 at 20:30

Is this going to support 21.9 screens.

kinger8938 · 20 Jun 2017 at 22:00

i too should wrap it up. hidden gem sure, but i did find it a bit of a mess and started to drag. think i stopped at chaper 11 or something?

Man that trailer really got me exited for this. If I can pre-order this for closer to £30 then I'll be sold.

I concur, looks really really good from that. (weird enough I might like it even if jumpscarey)

Quite a few good games with October/November release dates. Glad that not everything from e3 is she's away, Can't wait!

The first has been on my wishlist for ages. Hope it gets a decent discount in the Steam sale so I can get it played before the sequel.
