The developers also did a very good job of making the levels lead the player where they need to go. It’s there if players prefer it, but with the wide areas, it’s almost always better to run. Also, players are really only prolonging the inevitable in these moments, as they aren’t progressing when hiding. Some hiding places, like in water, come with their own danger of drowning, so players are discouraged to stay in them for very long. Players can peek out, or they can use their camera’s audio function to listen for noise to see if anyone’s nearby. Most hiding spaces in this game don’t allow the player to look out, or offer a very limited view.
Hiding is always an option, but it’s still not a very good one. Wide open spaces give many places to run, but multiple enemies are spread out in each area, so players are likely to stumble upon another enemy in a house or field if they’re not careful.
Villagers in old clothing will dog players for much of the game, and in large groups. That being said, chips with hyper-threading such as Intel Core i3’s, should have no problem offering a pleasant gaming experience.This might have made it a little too easy if you were only being chased by one frightening opponent, which is why Outlast 2 throws most of the cast of Resident Evil 4 at you. Outlast 2 appears to be using three threads, two of which do all the heavy lifting, leaving the third one to chip in whenever is required to provide some extra power.
This doesn’t mean that you need a high-end CPU to enjoy the game properly. For a more powerful GPU such as the GTX 980Ti though, it is like a walk in the park, as it performs at 60 FPS on High settings and at 1080p resolution without breaking a sweat.ĬPU wise, it looks like simple dual core chips will have some performance issues regarding frame pacing, particularly if hyper-threading is disabled. It also includes some toggle settings such as motion blur, V-Sync, fullscreen and triple buffering.Īccording to Red Barrels, you can enjoy the game at 1080p and 60 FPS using a Nvidia GTX 660, which is partially true because such performance can only be achieved if we lower the settings of the game. Our sources indicate that using a GTX 690 can achieve an average frame rate of 65 FPS, but in certain occasions, the frames would go as low as 50. Outlast 2 graphics settings don’t give the player a big variety of parameters to experiment with, but we do have resolution, textures and texture filtering, shadows, geometry, fog, effects and AA. But the game is now launched on PC, so we can all give our rigs a run for its money. This was a highly anticipated game by horror genre fans, and its low official PC requirements really took us by surprise. A couple of weeks ago, we informed you about the Steam release of Outlast 2, the successor of the first Outlast horror game, the story involving different characters and settings but in the same universe as its predecessor.
