New Gameplay Walkthrough for ‘Layers of Fear’ Shows off New Mechanics [Video]

Published

on

Understandably, Bloober Team’s upcoming Layers of Fear is getting overshadowed by the developer’s other big project in some fans’ eyes. It’s then probably a good idea that Bloober Team has released a new walkthrough video showing off the new mechanics and visual upgrades for Layers of Fear.

Featuring the original Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear 2, as well as all of the DLCs (including a new chapter entitled “The Final Note” that provides an alternate perspective on the first game’s storyline), the game will also introduce the never-before-told story of The Writer, which aims to tie each entry in the series together.

Bloober Team refers to Layers of Fear as a “tribute” to the fans of the series. “The game has shaped the way in which we strive to make the best horror experiences possible, and we’re hopeful that our community will enjoy what we consider to be the series’ crowning work.”

One such addition to the gameplay is the lantern, which according to Bloober, will “prove essential in confronting the fears that lurk within the game’s story.” This is on top of brand-new core mechanics that aim to seamlessly blend the chapters and stories.

As for the music, composer Arek Reikowski is back again, having worked on previous Bloober titles such as Layers of Fear 2, Observer, and The Medium. “[Reikowski’s] hauntingly beautiful compositions—paired with the enhanced visual fidelity made possible by Unreal—will leave players sitting on the edge of their seats with chills shooting down their spines.”

Layers of Fear is currently set for a June 2023 release on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

‘Resident Evil’ Cast Reunite With Rebecca Chambers’ Actress [Watch]

Published

on

Director Andrew Saullo has just dropped the second Resident Evil cast reunion. And this time, Charlie KraslavskyGreg Smith and Eric Pirius (who played Chris Redfield, Barry Burton and Albert Wesker, respectively) are joined by the surprise addition of Rebecca Chambers’ actress, known as Linda! The quartet were joined by Saullo, as well as Residence of Evil founder JJ Trulock to discuss (what else?) their experience with Resident Evil, as well as some behind-the-scenes info on the shoot for the cutscenes.

Regarding the shoot for the cutscenes, Linda said that the experience “left a really big impact” on her at the time. “It was a big day. It was a wild shoot and it was very different than anything else that I had been doing in Japan at the time when I was modelling.” Still, Linda did remember her fellow actors, though she admitted that they all “looked a little bit different” at the time, including herself. “I remember for the shoot, I actually had blonde hair, and they spray painted my hair that morning so I would look more like Rebecca.”

As for her knowledge of Resident Evil, Linda admitted that she’s still learning about the series and her character. “I didn’t know a lot about the job, or that anyone was looking for [me] up until probably about four years ago, where someone reached out to me and they found me. But even then, I didn’t understand the magnitude of the entire situation. Only now I’m realizing like wow, there’s maybe someone out there that you know it’s like ‘Wow, that’s Rebecca Chambers!’. So it’s new to me, and I’m kind of just going with it.”

The interview (which you can check out below) also includes a special announcement of a four-part fan-made web series, which will be directed by Andrew Saullo (who also directed the fan-made short The Keeper’s Diary, in case you missed it). All four of the actors will be reprising their roles in the web series. It will not be an official Resident Evil series (for copyright reasons). Crowdfunding for the project will be launched “soon”.
