Some game play footage from Japan has surfaced today with Murphy battling some Weeping Bats in the mines and according to game associate producer, Tomm Hulett, these guys were playing on easy! Yikes!

First, holy shit are those Weeping bats huge! Also I would like to know why the guy playing decided a broken bottle would be a more effective weapon over a pick axe…

What’s cool about this new footage is we get to see Murphy in civilian clothes and how he takes damage. After a run in with the Weeping Bat he noticably starts limping and his back gets pretty bloody.

Additionally, we get to see Murphy use a lighter as a light source and even how memos are saved (anyone else notice the graphic for the memo he picked up was actually in Japanese? I think that’s pretty cool and makes me wonder if all the regions will have similar language changes on the graphics.)

Overall this stage felt more like it was more important to survive and I liked that even though we encounters a few Weeping bats along the way we didn’t actually get into a confrontation with one until the end. I think it really helped put the player on edge! I can’t wait to play this myself!
