With expanded game areas, and attempting to offer gamers a deeper insight into what motivates the protagonist and even the unhinged antagonists, it all adds up to a bigger creative task than the original. Johanas says that they paid particular attention to both the pacing and to encourage more exploration in-game. Horror-action games can often be a bit too much for me, and many noted that the original Evil Within suffered from an often on-the-rails sense of relentless scares and horrors. I had time to creep around at my own volition, but there was also enough going on, even in this early area, to keep me busy and, well, tense enough. By the end, I'd used up all of those just-made bullets.
Suddenly, a monster appears behind me while another crashes through the church window. As I approach, demonic light burst from his mouth and he's transformed into. There was already a corpse skewered on said cross. A priest inside was praying to the cross on the altar.
As the last lucid human turned out to be helpful, I thought I might find another recruit. (Green liquid is occasionally dropped by monsters you just need to shove a hand inside the corpse to pull some of it out.)Īfter crafting some bullets at my new safe house, I heard someone's voice coming from inside the new church. My communicator gadget offered some directional guidance in the form of radio static to the main quest, but also hinted at side quests I could undertake to either even the odds, or just add more opportunities to forage for materials, weapons and magical goo to improve my own skills. I fumbled the controls and managed to get the former detective maimed twice before making it to the next chapter, where the tempo completely changes.Ĭastellanos discovers he's on the outskirts of a village, and after tackling a demonic mom that's force-feeding her soon-to-be-dead 'son', he makes his way into a suburb overrun with more zombie types.Īfter fending off a few demons and striking an uneasy alliance with a bloodied survivor who's terrible at handling a gun, I was left to make my own way. The first half of my playthrough was a relentless chase from some stitched-together monstrosity. I got to test out the second and third chapter. While the original game was relatively linear, The Evil Within 2 offers more exploration, bigger areas and more chances for independent thought and play.

In order to rescue her, he has to go back into the messed up STEM world - that's where all the faceless creatures and messed-up monsters are. What motivates him now is the chance that his daughter, thought dead, could be alive. There's a greater focus on how much you get to understand about Sebastian Castellanos - the detective whose life was ruined by the events he survived in The Evil Within. To that end, the gameplay and controls haven't changed in any major way, just some refinements based on player feedback. This is his tale of discovery, of redemption," said Johanas. Both noted that, with the sequel, the emphasis was on expanding the world and fleshing out the sometimes hard-to-understand story of the original. Resident Evil creator Mikami is now the producer and creative supervisor, as Johanas takes up the director role for The Evil Within 2. I sat down with John Johanas and Shinji Mikami to talk about what's changed.
