The game's Creative Director (the cool Japanese lady on stage at Bethesda's E3 show) has departed Tango Gameworks.

Quote

In a surprise announcement via Twitter, creative director of the upcoming game Ghostwire: Tokyo, Ikumi Nakamura, stated that she is leaving Tango Gameworks and Bethesda/Zenimax. She made a huge splash at E3 2019 when she gave a presentation for the reveal of Ghostwire: Tokyo and charmed everyone with her own charisma. She spent nine years with the studio and was a lead art designer for both The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2. She also worked on Bayonetta with Platinum Games and Okami with Capcom.

Yeah, I saw that on reddit last night. Not sure if the game is cancelled or whatever, but hard to have any interest in that game at this point. 

[Brick]

That can't bode well for the game. 

[Keyser_Soze]

So this is the new Frame City Killer?

[Mr.Vic20]

Noooooo! I need the Evil Within 3!

Can't wait for the hype ass next showing as an open world military shooter featuring bros with fauxhawks.

That new video didn't look at all like what I was expecting based on previous info.

I think this looks really cool one of my favorite ones from the presentation... What's everyone's problem with it?

I don't think it looks awful or anything just based on the credentials and the initial impression I was expecting some sort of Survival Horror-ish direction I guess. It looks...really not like that and I'm not really sure what's happening in the gameplay other than some extremely boring looking FPS-ish shenanigans. I reserve full judgment until I see more as always but I don't get it I guess.

It's just really tonally different than the initial reveal trailer from last year's Bethesda E3 presentation.

[Keyser_Soze]

It looked like a bad version of Superhot to me.

 

I'm down for more FPS action games that use melee and such like Breakdown but that trailer did nothing for me.

[Xbob42]

I thought it looked very fun, but to be fair I can't remember what the gameplay specifically looked like since I was being entertained by all the weird shit.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, it's been delayed to early 2022:

 

 

[Keyser_Soze]

That just means you gotta wait a little longer for it to hit game pass.

[XxEvil AshxX]

I wouldn't be surprised if the next time we see it, it looks completely different (again.)

This just looked so bad to me. I loved the Evil within 1 & 2, this is so odd! Odd isn't a bad thing but seems like they are trying to do everything to hard. I do gott'a say, those face masks are ummmm, not popular here lol

Yeah I'm not sure how I feel after watching that. Looks like a game I would definitely have to get a feel for. 

And yeah, what's up with those face masks they are wearing lol. They look like a half spit guard or something. 

[DPCyric]

I'm REALLY digging this just wish it was coming out on PSVR2.

[Bloodporne]

I still don't get this game at all. The combat looks like it should be complimented by fast-paced movement but instead you seem to trudge along at 0.2 mph through what appears to be zero encounter design. It just doesn't make sense to me based on what they're showing. 

[johnny]

the evil within games are awful so i have extremely low expectations

I think this Kotaku article really does nail what this game is supposed to be:

 

Ghostwire: Tokyo Looks Like Dishonored In Modern-Day Japan And I'm Here For It

KOTAKU.COM

Tango Gameworks' paranormal immersive sim also gives off some Jujutsu Kaisen and Scarlet Nexus vibes

 

or maybe this comparison:

Long-awaited peek at PS5-console exclusive finally looks like captivating horror.

But Dishonored is all about movement and slick play. The videos they're showing is the player strolling around window shopoing and then spamming attacks at seemingly almost stationary enemies. I really dig the whole vibe of it and like that they're doing something else but the gameplay is a huge ???? to me.

[Mr.Vic20]

I've had the appropriate amount of time to get over this announcement not being The Evil Within 3 and am now onboard for this! Looks great, hope it does play like Dishonored as that is a criminally underappreciated series.

Some of The Evil Within's DNA is still evident in this spooky action-adventure game.

 

[Xbob42]

Of course it was. I still want the Evil Within 3. The "big map" (not quite open world but also not linear) nature of 2 was extremely intriguing to me, and I liked it far more than the first game.

The first game did have a few more stylistic and visually arresting moments, but nowhere near enough to make up for the jank.
