Can someone extend that lead?

I am trying but I can't get the right wording. Edit: I accidentally put this at the top. Sorry. DangerousJXD (talk) 09:33, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. --DangerousJXD (talk) 08:16, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to point something out

In the trailer for the game that was released April 19th, I noticed in the audio you can clearly hear an audio clip from [[Dario Argento]'s film [Suspiria], the scene when Pat is getting pressed against the window and her friend is screaming for her. It's at about 1:40 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc-jvqJV4SI --Matt723star (talk) 04:52, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bethesda Game Studios leaving for their next adventure confusion

This article included the fact that Bethesda Game Studio developers were leaving Skyrim to work on another project. While this is true, it has nothing to do with The Evil Within, as it is being developed by Tango and not Bethesda. Unrelated teams, as stated by Pete Hines (https://twitter.com/DCDeacon/status/325413659180412928).

Removed the misleading part of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zaldir (talk • contribs) 15:11, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying, that was my fault for not reading the articles properly. Samwalton9 (talk) 15:13, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Final directorial work ?

On Marketing and release section, it says the game would be Shinji Mikami's "final directional work", and according to the reference section, this info is supposedly from a joystiq article. However I searched through the article and did not find any mention of this. 123.192.155.81 (talk) 08:07, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Useful sources

Film section

Is it really needed? DangerousJXD (talk) 22:03, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is needed. It is related to the game after all and it is covered by reliable sources. Video game pages like Dead Island, Dante's Inferno and Far Cry also have similar section, so I think we should keep it. AdrianGamer (talk) 14:44, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Other media

I have a feeling that there are more things related to The Evil Within that would fall under the Other media section. If there is and anyone finds something add it. DangerousJXD (talk) 23:44, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a mention of cosplaying? —DangerousJXD (talk) 02:45, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Silent Hill homages!

Essentially, this game is a major homage to, or rip-off of Silent Hill: Origins. I don't really want to post spoilers, but I found that both series are way too alike. I get that Konami must have been a big influence, but the connections are very excessive.82.37.113.92 (talk) 15:51, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Trimming

The plot is overly detailed and exceeds the word count of 750 words. Conmon1015 (talk) 04:15, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
