THE EVIL WITHIN QUICK PREVIEW

The  survival horror is a dead genre , at least the pure survival horror that we have known on Playstation one , the last examples of this genre was been released on  Playstation 2, Xbox and Gamecube , I'm referring to Resident evil code veronica , Resident evil zero , Eternal darkness and few others , then what was been released since PS3 - 360  is a mix of survival horror and shooter , how many time we have heard a software house claim to will comeback to the real survival horror era with a particular game ? So many and all the time we realized that wasn't true , Resident evil 6  should have done so , according the Capcom bosses , but didn't it , the first chapter of  Dead Space did it only partially and the second and third chapter was much more close to a shooter than a survival horror , so untill now  everybody missed the goal. 
Also The Evil Within , survival horror that will be released next month , will try to do it , well , from the pictures and the videos that we have see so far , this game looking like very interesting , the level design of the environments are very dark and evocative ,  the monsters that we should fight seem well made as well , also the plot could be not bad , regard the gameplay should be a classic survival horror with a mix of  exploration , puzzles solving and fighting , of course the presence of  Shinji  Mikami who is also the director of this game , is a guarantee of quality.


My Prediction :  The Evil Within look like nothing of new in the gaming landscape , nothing that we never seen in the movies or in other videogames so far , there is the big dude with the saw seen  a lot of time in  Texas Chainsaw Massacre  franchise , there is the moster with the covert face by long hair seen many time in japanese horror movies like The Ring and The Grudge , there is the monster with the white mask that remember us Michael Myers , moreover some situations remind us Hellraiser , the gameplay look like a mix between Resident evil and Silent Hill , but the shooting phases seem more pronounced , meanwhile I was watching one of the videos , I found a situation seen already in Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5 , I'm talking about when the main character is stuck in a house and have to fight with a lot of zombie that try to enter from the windows.
The graphics look good but because this  is a cross-gen game , we can't  expect a jaw-dropping use of  polygons and texture.
Well , for all this considerations ,in my opinion this one will not be neither a revolutionary game nor a comeback to the real survival horror but just a very good game that just like  Alan Wake did before, gather a lot of ideas from the  horror movies and the videogames of the past and mix all of them  remarkably.
The 14 october is close and I can't wait for this game , stay tune for the review that I will do next month.
