The Evil Within: 1,000,000 Halloween Party

So I recently got The Evil Within (review coming soon), and I took a look at the challenges they had, one was a rather unique and interesting one.

Halloween Party
On October 31, 2014, everyone together has to get 1,000,000 headshots.

Pretty simple, yet the first I've seen that required community involvement (hence this article). So, get your mid 50's style vests on, a hand cannon and go brainshot some crazies on Halloween night (unless you have a social life or something, pfft, poser). Join the G+ event!!!!

Your reward? As per usual, some art.

Fancy TEW Art

Why should you bother for some lousy art, you ask? Well, this leads to the second part of this post.

This coming November, Xbox One will receive an update that allows you to change the dashboards background from solid black, to another color OR achievement/reward art (among other changes). Take a look here at my new D4 inspired background. NEW BACKGROUNDS!!!!

There are other previews for you to enjoy on my Instagram, if you are interested.

So, hope on October 31st and kill some crazies.

The Evil Within: Delayed

Mikami has recently announced that The Evil Within will be pushed back to a release date of October 23rd, 2014, a few months later than previously announced.

The reasoning for the delay is as follows.

Shinji Mikami and his team at Tango Gameworks have asked for additional time to further balance and refine the game in order to deliver the polished, terrifying pure survival horror experience they set out to create.

So a few months longer wait, and in exchange, a better more polished game. Seems like a far trade to me, much better than them releasing a sub-par game that has numerous day one patches. A few pre-order bonuses have been released as well, for those who are eager to get their hands on the game.

One Med Kit – A Health Kit, restores Health.

Green Gel – Used to upgrade Sebastian's attributes. 

Double Barrel Shotgun and Three Shells - A stronger and more formidable shotgun, useful for tight situations with multiple enemies. 

An Incendiary Agony Bolt – Capable of showering nearby enemies with fire. 

A Poison Agony Bolt – Distracts and poison enemies, allowing Sebastian time for a quick escape.

The fact that you get such a limited number of shells and arrows make me wonder if the game will be more flight than fight, or if they just don't want to over-power you.

We also have a few screen caps for those who haven't seen much of the game.

The Evil Within has a new expected release date of October 23rd, 2014 on the Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Xbox One and PS4.

The Evil Within Preview

These days, games get turned out quicker than you can read reviews, play a demo or even see a commercial, sure big titles like Call of Duty, Killzone and other gets their spot on TV, but others are forced to rely on ‘Word of mouth’, usually from biased reviewers or gamers. So I thought I’d try my hand at looking forward at upcoming games to inform others who may not have known about them.

The first entry in this series, The Evil Within (TEW)

TEW is a survival-horror game, directed by Shinji Mikami, who is the mind behind the Resident Evil series, and is a single player game for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The game, based on screenshots, appears to play similar to Dead Space, with the psychological horror of Silent Hill.

Not creepy at all....

Of course, there's still plenty of blood for those who like that type of thing.

And you can really see the Resident Evil influence on the game, especially at points like these. 

Beware windows....

While the devs are keeping quite, you bet we'll be bringing you more information as we get it. If you like horror, keep your eyes on The Evil Within.
