If your Sundays are anything like mine, the only item on your to-do list for today is vegging out. I mastered the underappreciated art of the vegetative state long ago, but back in my day we had to walk fifteen miles in the snow, uphill both ways, to reach the only place where one could adequately veg out: the arcade. Now there’s Twitch.
If you have an hour to spare, you should consider checking out this Twitch stream where Pete Hines, Bethesda’s head of PR and Marketing, plays through part of The Evil Within. It’s not new footage, but we haven’t really had the chance to see a substantial section of the game that hasn’t been edited for trailers or preview purposes.
Or you could check out my hands-on preview from May. It covers everything in the video below (and more!) with nary a snippet of footage to spoil anything for you. Because I care.
Along with numerous other horror games, The Evil Within had a significant presence at Gamescom last week. You can get caught up on the latest goings on with Shinji Mikami’s upcoming survival horror game and everything else that blew our minds in our rundown of all the horror headlines that came out of this year’s show. You can also exorcise your love for democracy in our reader poll to determine the Gamescom Horror Game of Show.
The Evil Within hits PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 14.
