Would that really be a bad thing?
But no, my understanding is that it's more like Silent Hill in terms of how much the protagonist is able to fight back. You're not completely helpless, but it's pretty far from just being a TPS with some horror elements like Resident Evil has become.

People who got pre-release copies had to sign a contract agreeing not to say anything negative, and they were expected to promote the game rather than simply review it.

Dunno how it will be but looking forward to grabbing it early tomorrow - the pedigree behind it is good so hopefully resulting game follows suit.
(Although with BL
S coming out too and the wife obviously being demanding of time on it - we'll see how much I get to play it)
(Although with BL

there are also some really badly designed spots, eg where you fight those two giants and all you need to do to kill them is hide and let Joseph snipe them from the top and he can't even die to them because plot immunity

Saw this on twitch last night and I must say it looked like crap :/ . Ps2 style game play and design.

I'm enjoying it so far for what it is. It uses the ID Tech 5 engine, so SLI is straight out. Can't wait to upgrade video cards, I'm never messing with SLI again.
I'm only a bit in the game so far, but enjoy the environments, and I like that you're rewarded for exploring. Mild upgrades and disarming traps for parts reminds me of The Last of Us a bit.

I'm pretty hard to stun with horror - and thusfar, it's thrown gore at me (immune, high level) and a jump scare starting in one Chapter 3. Good game so far though. I think the comparison to RE4 above is apt. (although it seems like he implies it's a weak title - when it's the best RE by a mile - best of the series, period).how scary is it? I really don't like scary games, TLOU is pretty much the most i'd play and only cuz the characters/story, i've never played any Resident Evils or Silent Hill etc. I'm gonna try this game out but its probably too spooky for me

The dogs in RE1 never scared me - even when I was like 15 or whatever at the time... terrible person to ask. I've always been so numb to jump scares.
But from my perspective of being numb to it, the "quick WTF factor" of the jump scare early on was seemed similar in speed, worse in severity of what was being witnessed.
Dead Space is scarier than this one but the sparse ammo situation is about the same
it does have some wtf stuff in it though and the story won't make much sense at first

How is the story after you get into it?
was really hoping for a RE1-like experience, maybe a little Silent Hill, I still put SH as the creepiest game i've played, fuck those ghost babies. i saw someone mention before its chapter based? so not RE like where you have to run back and solve puzzles from the beginning? Any idea of how long it is playtime wise? is there tons of cutscenes every 2 feet? lots of exploration options?
sorry for all the questions, just considering if i want to attempt to do a 50gb download on an internet connection that consists of a can and some string.

I'm not far enough in to be a good judge, but if you want a 'scary' type game but are afraid(heh) of the download size, try out Cry of Fear on Steam, it's free! Dated graphics as it uses the HL2 source engine, but has a great atmosphere and some WTF places. Obviously a free game can't compare, but I snagged it a few days before this one came out.
