![]() Its Twitter teaser boasts disgustingly beautiful graphics and hints at the more savage AI players will be up against upon release, hopefully becoming the saving grace for Red Barrel's critically acclaimed horror series. All locations currently displayed in the Outlast Trials take place inside claustrophobia-inducing buildings and dimly lit rooms, and the melee combat seems suited to take on enemies that are large, violent, insane, or a combination of all three. Red Barrels is focused on rectifying these previous criticisms, however. In turn, Outlast 2 received mixed reviews that praised the horror but sinned the more open-ended gameplay that replaced terror with frustration. Giving players the chance to fight back risks reducing the fear factor of being helpless and surrounding by threats. Changing up the formula this drastically has led to lots of questions and concerns from fans about the vastly different gameplay, as the series is renowned for the lack of offensive options. ![]() The film is produced by two-time Emmy® winner Marc Platt (“Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert,” “Grease Live!”), Miranda, two-time Emmy winner John DeLuca (“Tony Bennett: An American Classic”), and Rob Marshall, with Jeffrey Silver (“The Lion King”) serving as executive producer.Previous Outlast Trials trailers have hinted at some of Outlast Trials' new features such as co-op multiplayer and the ability to combat enemies for the first time. The songs feature music from multiple Academy Award® winner Alan Menken (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin”) and lyrics by Howard Ashman, and new lyrics by three-time Tony Award® winner Lin-Manuel Miranda. “The Little Mermaid” is directed by Oscar® nominee Rob Marshall (“Chicago,” “Mary Poppins Returns”)with a screenplay by two-time Oscar nominee David Magee (“Life of Pi,” “Finding Neverland”). ![]() The film stars singer and actress Halle Bailey (“grown-ish”) as Ariel Jonah Hauer-King (“A Dog’s Way Home”) as Prince Eric Tony Award® winner Daveed Diggs (“Hamilton”) as the voice of Sebastian Awkwafina (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) as the voice of Scuttle Jacob Tremblay (“Luca”) as the voice of Flounder Noma Dumezweni (“Mary Poppins Returns”) as Queen Selina Art Malik (“Homeland”) as Sir Grimsby with Oscar® winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men”) as King Triton and two-time Academy Award® nominee Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?” “Bridesmaids”) as Ursula. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. “The Little Mermaid” is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. There’s an entire menu dedicated to customizing and piecing together a loadout with several different factors, and I’m excited to see how deep The Outlast Trials takes its strategic interplay. But it does seem like itemization goes far deeper. This was just one of several available rigs to choose from at the start, and the others seemed equally viable. In my own demo of Trials’ first level, I chose the X-Ray rig, which temporarily granted me the ability to see through walls and see in the dark without draining my night-vision battery, and it was so useful in spite of its reasonably long cooldown that a lack of battery pickups posed much less of a challenge. You never get to brandish a weapon against your unhinged assailants, but as previously mentioned you can equip a multitude of different perks and mods to give yourself an edge, not unlike the perk system fans of Dead By Daylight have grown accustomed to. The good news is there are plenty of ways to survive it all – if you’re smart.
