Surprise! Outlast: Bundle of Terror is now available on the Switch

N00MKRAD · Feb 27, 2018

https://www.vooks.net/surprise-outlast-bundle-terror-now-available-switch/

It was announced in late 2017, to be released in "early 2018", and now here it is!
Can't wait to see how the port is. If the performance is decent, I'll most likely get it.

This bundle includes Outlast and the Whistleblower DLC. Outlast 2 was also announced, probably releases soon after.

Edit: 25€ in EU, 20 GBP, not sure about USD/CAD/AUD.

The original games are pretty old now.
I would of thought the Switch could run them easily.

Bananastand · Feb 27, 2018

Never played the sequel but the first game and the dlc are solid jump scare heavy games. If you are okay with that you are going to have and absolute blast.

Still next-gen, UE4 if I remember correctly.

Also, would have.

Rushoff · Feb 27, 2018

Actually Outlast games are not built using UE4. As far as I remember both are using UE3.

Imitatio · Feb 27, 2018

Huh, that's a ... surprise.
But 25€ is a really nice pricepoint! Good on them.

Werent U3 games having trouble getting ported to the switch though?

cw_sasuke · Feb 27, 2018

Are both games 25€ or is that the price for the first game?

That is the price for the two games and the dlc. Not sure if they sell them separately

No. That was just people of this forum trying to speculate as to why A Hat in Time wasn't getting a Switch port. UE3 doesn't officially support Switch but that doesn't mean all devs will universally have trouble porting their UE3 games to the Switch. Epic does provide full source code access with the engine so any dev with the right programming know how can go in and port the engine to any system.

Brhoom · Feb 27, 2018

Need to know about the performance before I decide to jump in or not.

MGPanda · Feb 27, 2018

Aw man, I was hoping for them to include the sequel as well, kinda like Outlast Trinity. Still a welcome surprise!

Same, can't wait for some numbers, preferably from DF :)

Was a Physical version announced for these games?

Please, read the article. It includes original + dlc. No info about Outlast 2.

So wait are these bad ports or what?

Outlast works great and runs smoothly on dog shit PCs so I'd hope not. But I'm waiting for impressions.

xrnzaaas · Feb 27, 2018

Outlast 1 and Whistleblower were great. It's a must play if you haven't already. :)

iamaustrian · Feb 27, 2018

Sooo...how are these?
Is it just run' hide? I'm askin cause i don't really like horror games where u are just a victim (except clock tower for sfc).

Yes, you're mostly a victim, but it's kinda of understandable given character background and how scary the enemies are.

Guy on reddit played it, said it seems to run at 720p and a solid 30 fps on handheld. I'd be absolutely ok with that.

Chackan · Feb 27, 2018

Outlast 1 AND 2???

How is the performance, solid?

Goddamn, just bought Xenoblade 2, I don't have time for all the games even if portable! :|

Only the first game and the DLC. Outlast 2 is coming later I think.

KartuneDX · Feb 27, 2018

Perhaps the OP could benefit from an edit specifying that it is only Outlast 1 + DLC included in this bundle, and not the sequel.

Anyways, I'm personally looking forward to the technical analysis on this.

Bazry · Feb 27, 2018

Nintendolife saying its £19.99 for the 1st game only and the DLC, isn't that expensive? A few in here seem to be praising the price

Nice - assuming this is a good port that would be a good price.
I remember playing the first game on PS4 back then. I liked it...but also was too afraid to continue at some point, lol.

MazeHaze · Feb 27, 2018

Is this the first Nintendo platform game with a bunch of dicks in it?

I remember having a couple "oh holy shit" moments in the DLC for how far they took the body horror stuff. Most graphic stuff I've seen in a game tbh.

I was wrong apparently. This is just the first game and the dlc...

Mmhh. Thanks for the info.
I'll try it

Bunkles · Feb 27, 2018

Someone take the hit, buy it and give us performance impressions. I would but I'm at work.

IlGialloMondadori · Feb 27, 2018

20 quid for the first game and the DLC seems a bit high. If it were both games, I'd jump on it, methinks. I may still, and i think it's worth it, but having played the ps4 version already, not sure I'll jump on 1 again.

SnatcherHunter · Feb 27, 2018

Outlast 2 looks awesome on the Xbox one X.

I wonder how this will look with the Switch?

IlGialloMondadori · Feb 27, 2018

Seems like a solid port:

How is that high? That's quite a lot of content.

Papasmurff · Feb 27, 2018

Seems plausible that this will get a retail release bundled with the second game when that comes out. I'll wait and see.

Tribal_Cult · Feb 27, 2018

Any chance of a retail release?

Same price as on pc so that's good, I just think it's a little high for an older title, but you're right, it's a lot of content.

Cradily.

In all seriousness though I am definitely happy about this game. Been a long time since I played it on PS4 so I am looking forward to a replay.

How cheap do people want games these days?

£5 for the base and £5 for DLC

People want games for way too cheap

Deleted member 36708 · Feb 27, 2018

FPS horror?

TheBeardedOne · Feb 27, 2018

If it's a good port, and you haven't played the game, then it's something I definitely recommend. It's quite good, and the sequel is also very good.

TheIdiot · Feb 27, 2018

Hmm, playing handheld with headphones under my bedsheets in terror sounds... fun.

Considering the bundle has dropped to as low as $7 on a sale on PSN, that would be why people expected it to be a bit cheaper. Especially when considering the game is 4-5 years old.
However this always happens with ports, they're always going to be more expensive / same price as launch on other consoles anyway.

MazeHaze · Feb 27, 2018

I'm quite curious about whether this is censored or not. Specifically

the part in the DLC where there is a male body with the dick and head cut off, and the head stuffed in a hole made where the dick once was, and the body in birthing position on a hospital table. Or where the antagonist who goes around cutting off everyone's dicks captures you and tries to cut off your dick."

I'm pretty sure Nintendo has censored/refused to release WAY less graphic shit.

Mars People · Feb 27, 2018

Nintendo only ever seems to censor their 1st party stuff from Japan.
I doubt this will be censored.

It's this kind of pervasive thought that stops people from taking Nintendo systems seriously.

I can't recall the last time Nintendo majorly was in a controversy for censoring content from Third Party's since the SNES or N64 days.

They could have just as easily said thanks but no thanks to the game, than censoring a game at this point

Quakeguy · Feb 27, 2018

Will the penises be censored? Or will this be the first time we see a penis on Nintendo hardware?

But that was in a flash sale. The price as of today for switch is the same price as other digital platform stores.

Nintendo don't censor/refuse anything as long as it can get a rating apart from AO (which Sony and MS also refuse)

I remember binding of isaac taking forever to come to Nintendo platforms because of the biblical/child abuse themes. It ended up coming out eventually, but binding of isaac is a disney cartoon compared to the Outlast Whistleblower DLC.
