I can't even figure out whom I thought it was, which I guess was a good thing--speaks to the objectivity of my arguments--but after going back 7 pages, I guess the only time I ever said "I think it's X," I said that it was Kate.

You can still cheat, don't worry. It is sadistic that they've made the mine level harder. Even knowing where all the possible generator locations are, I often lose on it because she's just become too fast. Maybe if one were to try turning off the flashlight and hiding, though I'm not sure if that's actually effective.

Oh wait, I just realised they added something that would help you out - there's now an easy mode. You can get past the eight pages with only 6/8 pages and the chaser is unable to cause a game over (though slendy still will).

[Lithp]

We are almost certainly going to try that. And still lose. Actually, under those conditions, I may be able to beat it--though the limp caused by the chaser could still wreck my shit--but probably not in one communal girly scream fueled Slenderparty.

Was it said somewhere on here that we could use access codes from the "old" version of the game to access the Steam version, or did I just hallucinate that in a fit of madness?

How would I go about doing that?

Originally came here for sweet, sweet internet argument win points. Now I'm here it hardly seems worth it "I told you so! Those 8 pages of arguments about who the proxy was, and I was correct!" I didn't actually care enough to even look back and figure out who was arguing that it wasn't kate... I'll just assume it was someone that left the site.

So instead, I'll just let you know that the next set of bonus levels, that are being added to the xbox/ps3 versions will also be making an appearance on the PC version. The current build appears really buggy, and I suggest muting the tester and announcer, but here's the demo from e3 http://www.gamespot.com/videos/e3-2014-slender-the-arrival-stage-demo/2300-6419430/ .

I don't even remember which character I thought it was, I just remembered stating that the "secret tag level is plot significance" theory was bollocks. To me, it looks like they read all of the theories about Charles Jr. & said, "Why not? It would tighten a lot of loose ends if there was a 2nd proxy." Or maybe there was always supposed to be 2 & it was just too expensive to make a 2nd model at the time.

Either way, I ended up just going straight to YouTube to see the new stuff. If there's really a sequel in the works, I think it needs have a lot of change in order to maintain interest. Add, as Portal puts it, "A light combat mechanic." Either a way to chase off the Proxies or at least some doors to close so that you can get away from them for a minute. Or go the opposite direction & change the basic mechanic. For example, instead of being a strict Fetch Quest, make it a puzzle game. Like maybe the objective in the forest is not to find 8 pages, but to find the way out. And in the mine, instead of needing to find the generators, maybe you need to use what's around to unblock paths to the lift. Or maybe there's a system of controls that open some gates & shut others. These would also solve the Difficulty Spike & Luck Based Mission problems.

Finding out the story also seemed pretty important to people. I don't know how that would work in a sequel, though. Is Lauren going to wake up & we'll have to escape from Slenderman &/or save Kate? But don't we basically know what happened to her friends, Charles, & his son, so there's nothing to find out? So will the plot focus around trying to learn new things about Slenderman & how to stop him? And won't she be either dead or a proxy? Is that going to be part of the game? Like she starts hallucinating & losing control as time goes on? Or are we going to get a new set of characters & events, & if so, what's the connection to "The Arrival"? You could go with a prequel, make it about Charles or Charles Jr., or even expand more on CR or Kate, but again, that seems like retreading things that we mostly already know.

Right, right, I don't know why I didn't think to edit after I'd read that part about the tapes.

Hm. I most likely don't have a console that can play it. But maybe I will by then. Or maybe I'll still be borrowing my friend's PS3.

I assume that, by "both," you mean that the sequel & the re-release are different games, but will both be going on consoles. If this is the case, then do you have an idea of what extra content is going on the console re-release?

EDIT: Oh yeah, in case anyone was wondering, a friend of mine figured out how to get the game added to my Steam account. I don't know how he did it. He's not the same friend that I'm borrowing the PS3 from, though I'm not sure why I'm telling you that.
