Daylight is an upcoming game for the next gen consoles developed by a talented team named Zombie. In Daylight, you play an amnesia stricken girl who somehow managed to find herself in a house full of ghoulies. Armed with only an app filled smartphone, she'll have to rely on her instincts and cunningness to survive.
Ok, let's get to the nitty gritty..
1.This game has NO WEAPONS. No baseball bats, knifes or any fancy karate moves. You see a monster: you run! Just like you would in real life Seriously, this is going create an intense environment where the even slightest noise will be fear inducing. This is survival horror in it's purest form.
2. Everything in Daylight will be randomized; including the map layout. I believe this is due to the protagonist's amnesia. Zombie says this will make every playthrough feel new.
That's all the info I have on this game.
So, what do you think?

The concept sounds good on paper, but I don't know. Amesia Dark Decent kind of did the same thing, didn't it? I'm ignorant on the matter of Amnesia, I never played it. I'm not a PC gamer. But from what I heard you don't have weapons in that game either.
My basic question is: how do you defend yourself? Progression would seem slow, but then again I'm nitpicking at somethimg I haven't even tested yet. Paint me skeptical, but I may just be comparing this to what little there is about Project Zwei. I actuallu thought for a second because you posted this there was more info on it.

This concept really reminds me of DreadOut (mixed with Amnesia), which in turn seems like a mix of The Calling and Fatal Frame.

I'm surprised that Japanese School girl doesn't have anime eyes.

@PWNERX
Yup, it sounds good so far.
@Mercy
Haven't played A.D.D either so I can't comment on that.
Your playing as a helpless girl so you can't defend yourself(don't mean to sound chavanistic). Your only tool for survival is the phone.
Never heard of Project Zwei. What's the lowdown?
@Mass Distraction
I'm assuming those games you mentioned(excluding fatal frame) are PC exclusives. I never got into Fatal Frame. Taking pictures of ghost just doesn't sound appealing to me. I should at least give it a try since the series is so highly touted.

Quite an interesting concept, a versatile multitool for survival. The dynamic mapping will have me buy the game, I think, as I really appreciate such random seeds.

DreadOut is still being developed but I guess it'll be a PC exclusive, being an indie game 'n all. The Calling is a Wii game.
This game here also has certain similarities to Asylum and SCP-087-B.
I could keep making these connections all day as The Calling is like a mix of Fatal Frame and The Grudge, while The Grudge is like The House mixed with Hotel/Asylum 626 Confusing, I know, but that's how my brain works. I guess my point is that it's really hard to be entirely original these days.
In any case I do recommend checking at least the first Fatal Frame if you like horror games in general.

Kids these days. They'd die without their phones.

@Hero: Project Zwei is Shinji Mikami's next game. He's promising true survival horror just like the original Resident Evil.
@Nite: Lmao, that was brilliant!

Yeah, Ghost will headbutt any monster that tries to cross paths with him. True story.

Kinda sounds like a rip off of Amnesia.

The point of my posts earlier. I wasn't trying to bash the game, it sounds interesting enough, but it's just so damn hard to be creative and original these days.

@ChrisRedfieldRE156
Yeah, I wasn't too happy with that discovery. I have nothing against Chobot but why would anyone hire her as a writer? I hope she proves me wrong.
This is just silly.

As far as i know i think she wrote it first and then sold it, not like she was hired for writing, well one way or the other guess that pretty round booty has some brains . . .

She's definitely a smart girl. Talented writer? That remains to be seen.

Well yea, but she probably will be cs as it seems they have a lot of plans on daylight and The game seems to be pretty interesting . .. But yea it also might as well turn up to be crap . . .
