Bethesda Teases New Game

2.5 million copies
I still fail to see the relevance.

I just want to see Splash Damage get another zinger. I still love them for making Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

Yeah...
I'm solidly in ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn camp.

Me tooo.

I'm pissed about no more Skyrim DLC though.

Sticking to the horror interpretation, Zwei is more likely than Cthulhu.

Third one: https://vine.co/v/bUqveJ2uFeZ

Zwei isn't a title, just a project name. A project name that means "Two". So yeah, it may very well be Cthulhu.

Anyway, some european sites are already reporting that the teaser is for Zwei indeed (well, "Shinji Mikami's new game"):

Well the latest one definately proves that this ISN'T a Fallout game. Way too creepy, and the bizarre shadows in that last clip indicate something supernatural. So yeah, it's probably whatever that Zwei game is supposed to be about (especially since you guys keep mentioning Cthluthlu...)

The Cthulhu mentions are mostly baseless wishful thinking but yeah, it's supposed to be a survival horror.

Huh, that would be make Cthulhu setting appropriate if thats the case .-. I mean, Cthulhu action rpg would be missing the point

Do they still make survival horror games?

Not really, and that's the point. Here's hoping that this might bring the genre back.

“I’ve found my focus and once again I’m striving for pure survival horror.” - Shinji Mikami

Well, they Do do occasionally. I mean, Zombi U was one for example. They just never were a mainstream genre in the same way as jprgs, fps and adventure games were/are and a lot of long running survival horror series are becoming action horror.

Last great survival horror games were the Condemned games,

Monolith needs to stop fucking around with RT Ss and Batman and make great shooters again. I want another Blood game, or maybe FE 4 R or NOLF-3.

Hell a new Condemned would be amazing.

Hmm, btw, does Amnesia count as survival horror or is the "You don't have weapons, atmosphere is heavy, run away from monsters" thing its own genre nowadays? Or just horror without survival?

I personally don't think it counts.

I think its going to be a new Plants vs Zombies. Only this time you're the zombies fighting against an invasion of flaming sunflowers/etc.

true and theres apparently a sequel in the works, so maybe a live action version then...

I think there's already a mode for that.

It's survival horror. There's really no reason tot think it wouldn't be.

From what I can tell, this game is going to be incredibly bizarre and uneven.

Probably a sequel.

It's a fighting game. No More Heroes X Dragon Age. How Bethesda got the rights we will never know.

Its not baseless, really, to speculate on Cthulhu. Its a bit of a stretch I admit, but its not exactly a logical leap. Call of Cthulhu is something that they can go back to. Zwei is the project name, not the title. Zwei means two. Zwei is a survival horror. It fits.

It's Shinji Mikami's The Evil Within.
