Orion. Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 During Sony's press conference at Gamescom they announced a new exclusive title for the PS3, the highly rumoured 'Until Dawn'. The game is a survival horror being developed by Supermassive Games (Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock) focusing on the use of the Playstation Move. Rumour going round is that the game will be a Move exclusive, so no option for just using your regular controller, similar to Microsofts attempt at a motion control only horror game 'Rise of Nightmares'. Looking at the trailer above this looks like a pretty classic (albeit cliché) horror story set up. A group of teens go up to a cabin in the mountains with thoughts of sex in front a fire and/or in a hot tub in mind, when some kind of mysterious killer shows up hell bent on murdering them all. However despite the splashes and dashes taken from this horror movie and that horror game, this doesn't actually look as bad as it sounds. Graphically it doesn't seem too ugly, at least from what you can gather in the trailer. The "flashlight in the dark" style gameplay mirrors that of Slenderman, seen as one of the scarier horror games in recent memory. You get to play as 7 different characters throughout the game, adding variety to the story. Knowing Supermassive Games, the voice acting will probably be top notch, so even if it is riddled with cliche it wont sound any worse than any cliche ridden movie. And last but not least, this is a game where you can see motion controls actually making sense. The biggest problem with Rise of Nightmares was that the scare factor was diminished by how horrible the gameplay was for moving around, even if the other gameplay factors made sense for a survival horror game. On the Move you'll get to use the remote like a torch to scan around trees and in dark rooms, but you will still get the same use of buttons and analogue sticks to keep the gameplay decent and keep you bricking your pants. I'm not saying this is a game worth buying a Playstation Move for, but if it lives up to expectation it will definitely be a step in the right direction.

High Flying Maniac Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Wait, this was announced in 2012? Never knew that. Started watching a playthrough of this and damn it's good, looks great too. Would play it myself but I'm too much of a coward to play a horror game, just watching a playthough of it has me on edge. So has anyone played this yet? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conundrum Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I want to get it eventually, but with Taken King coming out in a few weeks, and just picking up Madden 16, I'll wait and hopefully the price drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Visually the game is stunning. Its got me on the edge of my seat though because i just know its going to jump scare me and its terrifying waiting for it to happen because there are so many good opportunities for it to happen haha. Story wise so far has been a bit cliche but it has potential and i just love anything that revolves around the butterfly effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kman Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm picking this up for sure, just not at launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R A T E D. Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 So far so good. I didn't know this has been around since 2012, watching the trailer nothing has changed much same set pieces I've already seen (most) just with changed but similar characters. It really reminds me of Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls & Life is Strange which is 3 of my favorite games and also it has some Saw elements. I think I could of waited for a price drop because it's pretty much a B rated horror movie just being played out as a video game. But I do like the gameplay mechanics and graphics so theirs that, I'm definitely having fun playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNFNS Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 This game was way better than I expected it to be, the story gets "meh" or "wtf" at times though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow™ Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Powered through this in one sitting last night. I think I clocked in at about 10 hours from beginning to end. If you like horror movies, you'll most likely enjoy Until Dawn. The god damn tension though, man. The possibility of the characters being able to die from the tiniest slip up is what pulled me in and got me so invested in the story. I thought I'd hate them for sure because when you're first introduced to them, they just seem like the archetypal horror movie characters (the jock, the slutty bitch etc) but some of them are a lot deeper than they first seem. I *censored*ed up royally in the 2nd half of the game anyway and death happened. Mistakes were made. I'd give Until Dawn a solid 8/10. If you enjoy story-driven experiences like the Telltale games or Life Is Strange, or you're a fan of cheesy horror b-movies, try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 This game is one I would get if I had a PS4, but still not something that would sell me on a PS4. Also, lol @ this being announced way back in 2012. Classic Sony, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Maniac Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Just finished watching a full playthrough of this and goddamn, so pissed at the choices the person made. - Only survivors were Matt, Mike and Emily - Ashley let Chris die - Mike's wolf companion got killed (not sure if he could've prevented that though) Sam was pretty much the only one I wanted to live no matter what and it *censored*ing sucked when the person somehow messed up during the "don't move" part in the house with all those Wendigos. May get this game but I still feel like I'm too much of a coward to play it myself, jump scares get me so easily lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Jones Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Picking this game up on Thursday, as I was watching a "Let's Play" walkthrough on YouTube for it, and I love how it looks. I like the Butterfly Effect style, and that choices I make in a game determines the outcome etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think this game was designed for watching LP's on Youtube. I haven't played it and I'm sure its hella fun, but watching a Youtuber (I'm currently watching UberHaxorNova) make the choices and react to the game is a good niche for these types of games. Same as the TellTale ones. This game looks beautiful though and it's pretty damn interesting so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustacio Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 It's reaaaally not that great. I would not pay full price for it.It only gives the illusion of choice, 90% of the decisions don't matter at all. The story is also not that great. It's a 6-7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
