The Milkman Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I expected it to be some indie horror game / Slenderman clone, after reading the title. But wow this game looks fantastic. The graphics are great, the crafting looks cool and the enemies seem to fit in the overall atmosphere. I will definitely keep an eye on this one.

Cosmic Gypsy Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) This looks really good to me, i'm a sucker for these zombie type games. It looks like a good Dead Island, although, when the player was hitting zombies (or should i say, cannibalistic mutants) it seemed like the hit had absolutely no impact, which will get annoying. Looking forward to hearing more about this. Edited November 11, 2013 by Cosmic Gypsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNero Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 so is there a goal ot do you just have to surrvive the whole time. (short: is there a story?) Although the game is called "The Forest", I hope there are also small cities or villages. Only Forest could get boring realy quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Forest could get boring realy quick I doubt they'll be any towns/cities, i get the overwhelming impression that this game is set on an island you have crash landed on, only cannibalistic tribes live on it.

Yes, towns would ruin atmosphere of lone survival. I bet there will be some small cannibal camps with good loot, exploring caves also seems very great and scary.

El Dildo Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I also thought this would be some kind of Slenderman ripoff. but wow it looks fantastic. I like the idea of savage tribespeople better than zombies. zombies are already old. been there, done that. and Oculus Rift support? count me in.

Ivars Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Some fresh news. Sounds great so far. The Forest’s forest will change dynamically, and force the player to react to those changes. SKS are implementing a full weather system, including the effects of that system on the player’s survival strategies. “[P]layers will have to build fires or shelters to keep warm at night,” the developers revealed, “and being cold will have negative effects on stamina and other game systems.” Creatures will not be mindless, only out to kill you. Instead, monsters will have “fears and feelings”, adding an element of player engagement that is set to innovate the horror space. The aim is to get the creatures to “react believably to the actions of the player as well as each other” “Our focus is on a living emergent world, tides rise and fall, every plant and tree can be cut down and entire areas cleared.” Visit this site for full interview. http://www.onlysp.com/exclusive-the-forest-is-the-survival-horror-game-youve-been-waiting-for/ Edited December 23, 2013 by Ivars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanBurnsRed Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) About The Forest is an open world survival horror game currently in development for PC. Build, explore, survive in this terrifying first person survival horror simulator. Trailers Trailer 2 Trailer 3 Screenshots This game has been greenlit on Steam and will be available in a few months. It looks great. They said it should cost around $15 on launch. I think it's what Rust should've been. Here's the official site http://survivetheforest.com/ And the Steam Greenlight page http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=143803558 Edited March 31, 2014 by RyanBurnsRed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarelyLegal Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Really looking forward to this. I hope it's not one of those games where the trailers mask it to look far superior to how it actually handles in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanBurnsRed Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I think it's gonna look just like it does in the trailers. Maybe with some things refined of course. The whole base building thing and mutants smashing through your defense really adds to my hype. Imagine playing this in the dark at 3 in the morning.

SoftTouch Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) I heard somewhere, that there is an actual story to this, and it's up to you, if you want to follow it, or just survive. (As you see the story progresses in the caves) I also heard that you can play normaly, and survive without the story stuff after you complete it. Don't quote me on it though.

RyanBurnsRed Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I seriously can't wait till its available on Steam. I need something to play and this game grabbed my attention when I first saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 This game makes current AAA titles and everything else out right now look like a childish kids game. This + co-op would be bloody insane. Can't wait to see some proper gameplay. Though it probably won't be finished for a f*cking while, going by the track record of early access these days it will probably be fully finished and on PS4 by 2020.

RyanBurnsRed Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hopefully this stays on PC because we need some good exclusives. Anyway just got word that the Early Access is on May 22. Was going to buy a game releasing this week, but I think I'll save my money for this game. It'll be $14.99 on release 16 days from now. I think I can wait.
