This twitchy video of players getting some hands-on time with The Evil Within says a lot about what the new survival horror game is all about. Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami wants to scare the crap out of you.

Players will have to use a combination of stealth, traps and firepower from the familiar Resident Evil over the shoulder viewpoint to take down overpowered enemies. However the player's most valuable tool will be their legs and knowing when to get the hell out of a bad situation.

Resident Evil fans will find references to the series in The Evil Within, from puzzles to terrifying monster scare moments. The Evil Within's mix of old and new survival horror is set to drop on October 21, just in time for Halloween.
