At a Glance: Red Barrels

Red Barrels is an independent game studio based in Montreal and focused on creating unforgettable single-player games. OUTLAST, the studio's first title, is a true survival-horror experience that aims to show that the most terrifying monsters of all come from the human mind. OUTLAST is currently available for digital download on PC and PS4, and the title's first DLC, OUTLAST: Whistleblower, will be available starting on May 6 on both platforms.

http://www.redbarrelsgames....

OUTLAST: Whistleblower follows the story of Waylon Park, the software engineer under contract with the Murkoff Corporation who emails journalists around the world - including Miles Upshur - at the beginning of Outlast.
 
Players meet Waylon a few weeks into his time at Mount Massive, during which he has been unable to even contact his wife and son thanks to strict security protocols. Having developed a deep-seated distrust of the profit-motivated scientists and doctors leading dangerous and irresponsible experiments on their patients, Waylon ends up setting events in motion that lead to the unmasking of Mount Massive's rotten core.
 
Whistleblower starts the story that led to OUTLAST, and stretches past the events of the first game to show the true final chapter in the story of Mount Massive Asylum.

Outlast was pretty scary, nailed the atmosphere

XiYakushijuAkeginuXi4363d ago

Yeah the atmosphere was amazing. I especially loved the part when you enter the sewage and the water is all bloody

rdgneoz34363d ago

It can also be hilarious. As in your gf sitting beside you, who does not do well with horror movies or games, is a joy to watch :P

randomass1714361d ago

My cousin and his friends play the game in our basement with all the lights off at night. They say it's quite a thrill ride. I'm squeamish so I don't think I could ever play this game lol. Looks like a lot of fun though.

BiggCMan4363d ago

Definitely an amazing atmosphere in the game, something really hard to pull off with horror games.

Aussie_Spectre4363d ago

Outlast was seriously one of the best Horror games I've ever played, nailed the story and mystery of Mount Massive and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, well done indeed Red Barrels

Disagree4363d ago

love watching people play this

Emilio_Estevez4363d ago

I think I'm more of a watcher than a player on this one as well.

coolbeans4363d ago (Edited 4363d ago )

I'm more of a watcher of those who're watching other people play Outlast. Btw, I give you a *Certified FresH* badge on your new curtains, Emilio. They really bring the house to life in a new way.

I haven't gone through all of Whistleblower yet, but I thought the main game was a solid horror game. There are some annoying issues I have with the design, but it's built around such a great concept.

Emilio_Estevez4363d ago

Idk what you are talking about with drapes cb, b/c I'm creepin' while watching?

Idk why, but I really like watching some games more than playing them. ESO comes to mind as well.

randomass1714361d ago

I'm more of a watcher as well, but probably for different reasons. I'm too scared to play this game. XD

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio52d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing52d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9252d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit52d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing52d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9252d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
