Trading themes of grim medical experimentation for sickening religious perversion (in every sense), Outlast 2 sets out to one-up its predecessor on the shock count. While the original was hardly a walk through the Mushroom Kingdom, Outlast 2 almost makes it look as such. Make no mistake though, this is indeed a horrific game. The use of light and shade in its depiction of the Arizona wilderness, not to mention some excellent sound design (accentuated by a new sound-tracking mechanic), are occasionally enough to make you gasp in appreciation rather than horror. This sequel to the hit indie shocker Outlast (which hit the eShop earlier this month as Outlast: Bundle Of Terror) provides a strikingly evocative, bone-chillingly atmospheric game world for you to creep through. I hope we can avoid having to rely on this solution.Outlast 2 is one of the most beautiful games on Switch, and also one of the ugliest. So, you can guess what we think about it as developers and gamers. I had to do a search on the Web to find out what the question was about 🙂. But we won’t make any announcements before things are locked on our side.įinally, what do you think of the recent loot boxes debacle that's spreading through the AAA industry? We have a few options on the table and will soon make a decision. To be honest, we haven’t made any decisions yet. Similarly, is there any particular setting you'd like to tackle after having nailed 'rural Americana'? I don’t think we’ll ever abandon the genre, but stretching different muscles could be nice once in a while.
Going forward, should we continue expecting horror games in the vein of Outlast from Red Barrels Games or would you like to branch out at some point and try other genres? I’m a game designer and not familiar with the tech involved. Some developers have argued that the Xbox One X, despite its high price, is actually cheap for its hardware components. The process was pretty straightforward for our programmer. Outlast 2 will support native 4K and run at 60 FPS on the Xbox One X, but it won’t support HDR and Dolby Atmos.
What was it like developing for this new console? Can you tell us the technical specifications of the port (native resolution, frame rate, graphics enhancements etc.)? Your game is listed among the official titles supporting the Xbox One X console.

Do you have any further update to share on that? You've said on Twitter that you've been considering whether to port Outlast II to the Nintendo Switch. VR is super cool, but it’s a limited market at the moment. Like I mentioned previously, we’re a small team, so we have to focus our resources where it makes the most sense. Is there still a chance to see VR support added to Outlast II or perhaps you'll wait for the next game now? Many fans have asked you to incorporate VR support in your games for the ultimate horror experience.
Obviously, I’m not familiar with Visceral’s detailed situation, but for us, it makes sense to make horror games. The bigger your budget, the more you need to reach a wide audience. Horror fans are dedicated and passionate, but the horror genre is a niche. It does make things trickier if you approach a horror game like you’d approach an AAA Blockbuster title. Do you agree with this assessment and if so, how should developers try and work around such an issue? We've recently reported a comment by a former Visceral Games developer who mentioned that horror games are expensive to make and hard sell since many customers like them, but don't buy them because they're too scary.
