Surprise! Outlast: Bundle of Terror is now available on the Switch
- Thread starter N00MKRAD
- Start date

Some more things:
- Resolution definitely seems to be native. Framerate appears to be 30, but absolutely solid.
- Has HD rumble (not a lot, but for opening doors for example)
- Has a gamma option
- Subtitles are small, but not as small as DOOM.
EDIT: To be clear, all those screenshots are handheld. I barely use my Switch docked and I can't test it right now.

No.
It's mostly based on hiding and running away, but with very good execution (no pun intended).
Mainly stealth/hide-and-seek with bits of parkour when running from enemies. The character has a camera capable of night vision, allowing you to see in dark areas, but your battery is limited so you have to be resourceful and scrounge up whatever batteries you find in the environment.
No weapons. :)
It's fantastic. Easily the best of the trilogy. Has the best pacing, the most spine-chilling villain, and the best encounters. You also get a lot out of it if you played through the first before so this package is ideal. :)
Awesome, is it basically a full length game or is it shorter than the main?
It's outstanding, if you enjoyed the initial game. I'd highly recommend it. Outlast 2 is pretty shit though, and I'd advise on skipping it completely. I bought it on sale for ps4 and was still disappointed. It's hardly the same game anymore, basically having you guess what to do at nearly every turn. It was irritating, ruining any atmosphere the game tried to set up. Very little of it plays like the first game.
You basically run away most of the time, with minimal "hide and seek". I can only remember one section, to be honest.
In terms of length, its about three hours long (about half of the main game's runtime), but the encounters are a lot more varied and stagnate less. It uses its time much more effectively than 1 and 2. You never have to go too far to see something new. :)
The villain in Whistleblower was on another level of crazy, and I'd put them up there with Luca Blight(Suikoden) and Curtis Blackburn (Killer 7). I don't usually get much of a reaction from an antagonist that's purely evil, but this one did it. It made me question how some of it got through the ratings board to be honest.
Not interested in Outlast, but the Switch needs more good horror stuff!
Looks quite fine from the screens here.

I'm playing trough Hollow right now, but this is definitely next after I finish! Layers of Fear and Detention are both on deck as well.
If anything, being at $25, it is a bit cheaper than getting Outlast + Whistleblower on steam regularly.
If anything was free on gog. Or. Something, Nintendo eshop prices with old ports are something
Looks insanely good on handheld. Just some aliasing, but nothing terrible.
Keep in mind that the screens have Twitter compression and that the game adds a noise effect.
Beautiful.
Based UE4.
Well sales beside, it is $29 on steam and PSN, so $25 is still a bit nice.

screenshots on the page are definitely 720p

$34.99?
I wish I had the courage to play games like this. I can't handle the anxiety of impending doom. I can barely watch other people play stuff like this.

Picked it up and ran through about an hour. Runs great, looks great, plays great, is great.
If you're interested, grab it.

I'm like leaning close to the screen to try to make out a difference here. Good stuff.
Looks pretty insane. Can't help wondering what RE7 may look like on Switch...
Last screenshot, I'll stop spamming now, haha.

Yeah, I still hope we'll see RE7 on Switch.
Considering it runs at 60 FPS on PS4/XB1, a Switch port at 30 should look quite decent.
