New The Evil Within trailer shows off its Resident Evil 4 roots

Latest The Evil Within footage is pretty creepy. The game is coming to PS4, Xbox One, X360, PS3, and PC this August.



Bethesda has released a new trailer for The Evil Within, its attempt to see if a big-budget survival horror title still has a place in modern gaming.

Lone figure? Check. A spooky mansion? Check. Weird monster things? Check check check. Right now The Evil Within looks like everything Resident Evil 6 was not.

Lest we forget, The Evil Within is being developed by original Resident Evil and Resident Evil 4 director Shinji Mikami and his Tokyo-based studio Tango Gameworks.

What do you think of the new footage? I find the use of barbed wire genuinely unsettling, and there's enough buried in the trailer to suggest some seriously messed up psychological stuff--weird field of flowers, anyone?--will feature in the final game.

The Evil Within will be released on August 29 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
Graphics look a bit dated considering it's a next-gen title but otherwise it looks really amazing. Survival horror has been really lacking for the last few years so I hope it's worth the wait.
