Oh, Understandable I guess. I've seen so many people say they want games on next gens consoles just so they will look better, so I'm glad that's not his reason :P

I hate...no I despise the start of "new" gens, they are always bland and boring their first 2-3 years. If Thief 4,TW3, Cyberpunk 2077, MGS 5,Bethesda's un named project and Dark Souls 2 come out in 2014. I would seriously **** a brick and spas out.

Same. I'd be all like

Cool. Excited to see it. I just hope it's on the current gen.

Vanquish was fantastic though so of course, why wouldn't they?

Most likely we'll see a cinematic trailer.

How is it blind faith and loyalty if the games he makes are consistently good. Actually, why the hell are you even phrasing it like that if you think the game is good?

What's wrong with current gen? Outdated graphics? At least we wouldn't have to buy a new console to play it.

[QUOTE="Pffrbt"]

[QUOTE="Lulekani"] Because blind faith and loytalty only lasts for so long. And yep, Vanquish was awesome !Lulekani

That has almost nothing to with anything said. Why did you phrase your post like you thought Vanquish was terrible.

I'm very excited.

Fairly curious. I enjoyed Vanquish a lot despite its flaws. I wonder if he'll go back to his roots and create a new mainstream survival horror experience from scratch. I think that there is an obvious niche there waiting to be filled, and his name alone is strong enough to drive sales.

The only Mikami directed games I really enjoyed were Resident Evil (which copied shamelessly off of the original Alone in the Dark), Dino Crisis (calling it RE with dinosaurs is fair, but dinosaurs moved very differently than zombies, so pulling it off was an achievement) and Resident Evil 4 (masterpiece) so I'm not as excited about this as many seem to be, though I am interested.

That trailer was positively crap, it wasn't scary or creepy it was just loud and tried too hard. The screenshots looked impressive as hell though and are far creepier. Looks like it will be an RE4 type game with a bigger focus on tense fights with limited resources, which is sweet.

Also a post from the GAF about it:

So been working on the Japanese press release with a Japanese friend. The details pulled from it: 

-Uses ID Tech 5, they say they are taking the engine a step further than it has ever been used and are utilizing a state-of-the-art lighting engine and a much more powered-up version of the engine than any game to date has used.

-Sebastian and his partner go to a scene of a mass murder, where a mysterious force is at work. As Sebastian watches more and more of the police get killed before his eyes, he is attacked by something that knocks him out. When he comes to he must fight to understand a world where death and insanity live side-by-side. He will face unimaginable horrors where the only where to continue living is to fight. To discover the truth behind this powerful force, Sebastian must embark on a journey brimming with horror.

-Game is said to be trying to strike a balance between horror and action, and to but in the sense that one should be desperately struggling to survive and facing scenarios of unimaginable horror. They say they want to redefine horror, and seem to be going for a more difficult and intense experience.

-The game promises to have limited resources and be full of puzzles and traps. They want to fill the player with anguish, tension, and anxiety and send them off the deep end.

-They make a focus that enemies can easily kill the player, you'll have to be cunning and evasive to survive in these harsh conditions.

-This is a bit foggy, but it seems the player can experience random distortions that can happen in any area at any time, which changes anything from enemies, doors, walls, objects, or the like into terrifying nightmares that our character sees. These are random and change in real-time as well, it seems.

-They finish off saying that they want the game to start strong and continue with a growing feel of insecurity to grow as the game goes on. They also mention the game will have an in-depth world, and you're being hunted by something mysterious and dark.

The evil within!!!! Cross gen game!!!!! Live action trailer is creepy as hell. IGN has screenshots. RE4 like but much more scary. Looks incredible!dvader654

So it will be handicapped by the need to run on old hardware. I'm sure a more ambitious developer will offer a Dead Space type horror action game built from the ground up for next gen systems.

Still, while the live action trailer left me cold, as a genre fan I am interested in Evil.

I start to think I'm writing in invisible..... .___.

excellent, now go find something you actualy do enjoy. Theres nothing but dissapointment waiting for you here.Lulekani

I think I will enjoy it actually, as long as they don't go over te top with action. I enjoyed RE4 a hell of a lot, but it's because Shinji has kept saying this is a survival horror game through and through I hope he doesn't shoot himself in the foot by hyping it as something it's not

Cool trailer. Although I can't tell you what the hell the game is going to be like by watching it.

But I just saw the trailer, and noticed it is for the 360, a system I have. And the trailer looks pretty cool. So I am satisfied.

Yes! YES! I still want to see how the game plays, but that trailer was great. It looks like Resident Evil 4 with more horror, so of course that means I want it. Those IGN screens / concept art look pretty incredible. Come on Mikami, give us some more details soon.

The Resident Evil Within, I am totally there!

Hopefully this is like Silent Hill, but actually good. Survival horror isn't really my thing but I'm willing to try out almost anything right now to get a break from all the sequels. 

The screens basically sold me on this. I've enjoyed mostly everything Mikami has made, with the exception of PN03... 

Well that trailer was complete crap. Aside from the disappointment that it shows nothing from the game, I just don't like the setting or the corny trying too hard but failing tone.

Where can I find the screenshots?
