No connection to outlast 1?

[Papa Beerpool is back(ish)]

I guess I'm halfway trough the game and for now nothing seems connected to mount massive or wallrider.
So... Is this like a new kind of madness?

There isn't any direct connection to the events of the first game no.

But there does seem to be a Murkoff connection.

Shame... I wanted to know what happened to Miles Upshur

[The DarkLight Emissary YT]

We kinda know what happened to him from playing whistleblower....

[Papa Beerpool is back(ish)]

Yeah but what happens after he/it Escapes mount massive

[Shaminar the Dragon]

What about the other guy who escaped?

[The DarkLight Emissary YT]

Well we know he blew the lid off of Murkoffs corporation. I am assuming he went completely off the radar to escape retribution from them.

Its heavily implied that Murkoff had something to do with what was happening at Temple Gate. There is a note found in the game about microwaves and hallucinations, similar to what happens every time the big flash of light appears stunning everyone around, it eventually gets to Blake as well. There is an unexplored Radio Tower near Temple Gate that is believed to be Murkoffs new facility where they continue the Morphogenic Engine project. Nothing is confirmed yet but all adds up and makes a lot of sense. I expect a DLC or another game to explain everything fully.

it's confirmed that Murkoff is behind Temple Gate in the free comic

Read the comic if you want to know what happened to the Walrider.

[SPOILERS if you didn't expect them already]

I just finished Outlast 2. From the start, I was really expecting a lot of things that didn't turn out. I remember from near the end of the first Outlast that there are memos that talk about a new project location at the mountain involving women. Halfway through the game, I was predicting that the DLC campaign would be Lynn's series of events. But now I am certain that it would be something to do with a laboratory, more to the tune of the first OL (which is reminiscent of the golden Resident Evil days). Or rather I hope it turns out like that. OL2 was a solid game of course, but when I play a horror game, I want to see some shady secret laboratory at the end. It's always the fault of some suit wearing SOBs!!

As someone previously stated, there is alot in OL2 that insinuates Murkoff involvement. Most of it is found when you arrive at the lake. There's a memo on the left side of the lake that talks about experiments. There's another memo in a cave (in the direction that the villagers flee towards) which seems to preceed a lot of events where John is telling "Reverand" (instead of referring to as "Father Papa") that he was out hunting and found two towers covered in camoflague netting. The "HELP" message on the beach is directed directly at the ominous factory building, insinuating that this fishing village was probably the first to turn because of its proximity to this structure- and the victims probably thought the factory would help them. When you make the recording of the factory, Blake makes it obvious by commenting on how it still has power- yet it is never explored at all.

funny how when outlast 1 came out, people where like "omg the ending suxx the lab parts felt out of place i wish it was more ambigious it was a bad explanation!11" etc, and now when its completely the other way around, people (most likely the same ones) b*tch about the ending, AGAIN. lol.
