‘The Evil Within’ Finally Has a Full Screen Option

Published

One of the more polarizing things about The Evil Within was the forced “cinematic letterbox” that offered a wider field of view but limited how much could be seen above and below the screen. This made climbing ladders a wee bit more challenging, as we were previously unable to see what might be waiting for us at the top. It took some getting used to, and even then, it always felt awkward. Thankfully, it is now optional.

In a new update released earlier this week, Bethesda confirmed the letterbox can now be switched off in favor of a more familiar, full screen format. The update also introduced some small tweaks to make playing the game on casual difficulty somewhat easier.

The Evil Within received its final expansion last month. You can check it out below, or you can read my reviews of The Assignment (review), The Consequence (review) or The Executioner (review).

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
