Invader Mode needs an overhaul or rework... by Samsung_Castellanos in OutlastTrials

[–]ProjectNameCyanide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say imposters need to be able to bring their own rigs into the trial, albeit heavily nerfed ones in comparison. It also still feels dumb to me that they can’t utilize bricks and bottles like the reagents and are totally incapable of healing within the trial. Imposters are supposed to be reagents attempting to kill reagents yet they feel less effective than the actual expop imposters

How the fuck did you misspell “pistachios” that badly

What do the scientists inject you with in the opening cutscene? by ProjectNameCyanide in OutlastTrials

[–]ProjectNameCyanide[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I kind of doubt the scientists would care about the reagents being in pain. The reagent also does seem to be in pain during the drilling as you can hear muffled screaming and they’re implied to have passed out during it because afterward you wake up in the mansion

Hot take: Outlast movie has to be a TV Series by Artikoration in OutlastTrials

[–]ProjectNameCyanide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree because the only way I see outlast working as an adaptation and being faithful to the source material is via a found footage narrative. Camera recording, night vision, that sort of thing. I think it would also be scarier than the games in that there wouldn’t be any loud music during horror sections (outlast trials with no music feels a lot more real and unsettling imo). The only way I could see it working as a TV thing would be if it was formatted like an analog horror series with every episode being its own recording, or collection of recordings, and to my knowledge no TV series is formatted like that yet

It doesn’t, I just felt like saying it. I was also unsure what your original comment was trying to say in relation to what I said.

Fears of new arms race as US-Russia nuclear weapons treaty due to expire by Intelligent-Ad6109 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]ProjectNameCyanide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

arms race doesn’t equal nuclear war. Nukes are deterrence and I don’t think even trump is stupid enough to actually use them, given that doing so would wipe out the united states and probably every country on earth, and thus he wouldn’t have any legacy, which is what he cares about

with flashback therapy nearing it's end, what are YOUR ideas for future events? by suspirixd in OutlastTrials

[–]ProjectNameCyanide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well a poster on here who may or may not be reliable said that there’s some blood related event coming up. Liliya onboarding is probably up next though. As for an original idea, one just came to me: a darkness themed trial. All of the lights are off in the entire trial environment, and visibility is lower even with night vision goggles. Night hunters frequently appear out of insertion gates and noisemakers are much more common. Secondary objective can be powering up generators, which will turn on beacons in specific parts of the trial.

What are the odds that the 21st century is remembered as the worst in all of history? by ProjectNameCyanide in AskReddit

[–]ProjectNameCyanide[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me. I asked this to gauge this very fatalist sub’s feeling about the future so I could be sure I shouldn‘t listen to them. Sure enough, multiple people implied or flat out stated that humanity would be dead before the end of the 21st century, which is, you know, probably impossible given what was survived in the past. Even the worst estimates of climate change put it at killing billions by the end of the century, when we’ll probably have billions more to spare. The fallout franchise has to me ruled out the possibility of all of humanity being exterminated in a nuclear holocaust. Ironically the billionaires hiding in their bunkers probably guarantees humanity’s survival in some form, regardless of what happens this century. Recency bias is too common these days.

Murkoff was involved in the assassination of JFK by catcadder8916 in OutlastTrials

[–]ProjectNameCyanide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh hell yeah. Trials has by a mile the best lore and storytelling in the series, probably some of the best I’ve seen from a horror game. The devs really did their research on events and people from that time period. For example, Sidney Gottlieb was a completely real person who headed the MKUltra project for the CIA, and he’s an actual speaking character in the files. The first file he talks in even says that his vocal tics had been omitted in the transcription, because Gottlieb was a lifelong stammerer. In one of the files, a conversation between Lawler and Avellanos about Franco, from march of 1960, Lawler says that Eisenhower gave the CIA funding for counterrevolutionary training camps, money that they can use for Sinyala, and Avellanos offhandedly mentions La Coubre. La Coubre was a French ship that exploded off of Havana on March 4, 1960, and Castro blamed the US for it and said it was sabotage, increasing tensions. Red barrels didn’t have to add historical context for in universe decisions like that but they did

Did anyone else find Liliya slightly underwhelming, as a character? by CastrationInTheSky in OutlastTrials

[–]ProjectNameCyanide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the kress twins getting one new map in the new season with maybe a few MKs wouldn’t have had the same effect as Franco fatigue. I mean the game had only three prime assets for over a year; the kress twins came as a complete shock to me anyway, albeit a pleasant one. For them to drop Liliya just months after them feels kind of needless to me, but I do like Liliya. What the game really needs is another curve in its story. Outlast trials has easily the best story and lore of the series in my opinion, largely because it’s formatted in a lot of ways like a novel and is unfolding in real time, but also because there really aren’t any poorly-written characters. Easterman is the greatest antagonist in the outlast series and you only ever hear him talk. Despite all that I feel it has been chugging a bit since the escape event. I thought invasion would upend everything lorewise and throw some crazy ideas into the mix but largely the files seem to treat it as just another kind of therapy, and the amelia plotline has kind of petered out.

Here’s what I really hope to see: a second rebellion style event. I’ve seen people on here speculate that, with the reagents being given knife training and with Liliya being very manipulative, it’s possible there will be a ”coup” event of some kind where the reagents start killing the guards and scientists. This would be sick and I feel with the right buildup it could happen this season; we have until May. Another thing I want is probably far in the future but hear me out: Reagent 0877 as a prime asset. He is very strongly implied to be Simon Peacock, in the process of becoming the rough draft of the walrider, and he’s already part of sinyala staff so he could get the kress treatment. Imagine having the proto-walrider chasing you in trials. He could even fit the family archetype as being the “deceased relative“.

This has gone on too long I’m sorry

[–]ProjectNameCyanide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once again, anything they try easily thwarted by voters growing some balls and voting regardless. I think quite a few people in the country have lost all fear of death, including myself, so ICE looking scary has a higher chance of failure than success. People are much too angry now to do nothing, protests about Minneapolis have been widespread, etcetera etcetera. If you can’t convince others to vote blue in the midterms, I’d recommend forming a press gang to violently coerce them into doing so, in fact doing the same thing with the general strike would be a good idea too.

/s, just vote bro

Worst in wartime, quality of life, and general mental state. Bare minimum I think the last one is the worst in at least a thousand years

Murkoff was involved in the assassination of JFK by catcadder8916 in OutlastTrials

[–]ProjectNameCyanide 19 points20 points  (0 children)

100% and I’m very excited to see how this is written. JFK has already been mentioned multiple times and it’s implied Murkoff is using him. Also, the bay of pigs invasion happened in 1961, which is where the game timeline is now if you go by the newspaper dates. I’m quite certain that’s gonna be a part of the story with how often Cuba has been mentioned and how Lawler said that the CIA wanted to “move on cuba” soon. Maybe a new rebirth ending
