Deep Silver Announces Deadlight: Directors Cut, Coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on June 21

Face your fears, or face death in the newly announced Deadlight: Directors Cut from Deep Silver, launching this summer on consoles and PC. Deadlight, the iconic zombie experience rises once more, spreading its deadliest infection yet to PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC. Created in collaboration between Tequila Works and Abstraction Games, Deadlight: Directors Cut will deliver the definitive Deadlight cinematic experience on June 21, 2016 for $19.99.

Making its debut on PlayStation consoles, Deadlight: Directors Cut enhances the survival platformer on all systems in every way including: superior controls, new animations and full 1080p resolution. Featuring a brand new game mode, the ‘Survival Arena’ will be one of the toughest zombie challenges yet.

Set in an apocalyptic 1986, Deadlight tells the tale of Randall Wayne, an introverted and slightly paranoid survivor trying to rejoin his family in a world torn apart by zombies. From the destroyed streets of Seattle, through the crumbled underbelly of the city’s sewers, and the remnants of a forgotten stadium, players search for the haven known as the ‘safe point.’ Through tense platforming and life-threatening zombie encounters, gamers must choose to use limited ammunition to decimate the undead or utilize the surroundings to sneak past them and hide. Combat isn’t always the answer, especially against those known as ‘shadows,’ the walking, undead remains of the human race.

Raising money for Rime eh

I know whenever there's a remaster people ask themselves "who asked for this," but this might actually be the first time that literally no one asked for this.

I liked Deadlight, but there's no reason for this to exist at all.

 

[antitrop]

I felt ripped off the first time I bought it, so no.

 

[Black Pewter]

Shouldn't they be working on something else?

I'm sure they did market research........right?

 

[matrix-cat]

Oh shit, Sony dumped us! The jig is up! We have to go back to making video games, guys!

 

[mocolostrocolos]

:lol

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Obviously this is for rime lol can't even hide it

Nah they're probably laughing at us on Whatapp right now

Rime's secret fundraising.

It looks like it is. Who asked for a Deadlight remaster ? i thought the game was already average. Looks like Tequila Works are in some sort of financial trouble after that Rime/Sony thing.

Because now people who didn't have a 360/PS3 last gen, or they did but just missed it, have a chance to play it. It probably didn't cost much to port it over and add some extras so it makes perfect sense to me.

I liked the game overall but I remember the end sequences being somewhat irritating.

 

[GinoFelino]

Gotta sell rehashed crap to fund dat Rime

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

Is the game any good, even?

 

[the black pearl]

If they need this to fund Rime then I'm tempted to buy it.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Is the game any good, even?

It was a solid 7/10 in my book.

 

[danowat]

Is the game any good, even?

I had to google it to remind myself what it was, so that should answer your question.

I finished it, and got all the achievements, but it wasn't a particularly memorable game, but from what I do remember, it was fairly fun.

 

[Death Metalist]

Not gonna get it since I already played the first release and enjoyed it even with the flaws it had.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Is the game any good, even?

It's trash, and I very very rarely say that of a game.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

I'd much rather donate to a Rime kickstarter than buy this shit game again.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Is the game any good, even?

Hot garbage. Not even worth checking out if it's free..

 

[oti]

Is the game any good, even?

The first 10 minutes or so are ok.

 

[UCBooties]

It's not looking good for Rime if this is Plan A.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

The first 10 minutes or so are ok.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend this game.

 

[HStallion]

It's not looking good for Rime if this is Plan A.

Plan B involves "acting" in some shady movies for some sleazy people.

 

[family_guy]

It's not a bad game IMO, but I wouldn't play it again even if the DC content was free.

 

[Dyson Industries]

Rime's secret fundraising.

Yep. They need the money, badly.

 

[Ridley327]

Deadlight is not a very good game, but the fake Tiger Electronics handhelds you come across were amusing in their accuracy.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

"No one asked for this"

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Cool. Not buying it day one but most likly a little bit later

 

[Castef]

Makes sense. Easy money for developing Rime.

Too bad the game is way too rough. Maybe they'll fix it a bit...

 

[Guymelef]

I'm laughing on WhatsApp groups with this announcement.

 

[dancrane212]

I was surprised how much hate Deadlight got in the previous Rime thread. Wasn't the best "cinematic" platformer I've ever played but certainly not something on the same level as the Flashback remake. Maybe it's just the lack of games in that genre but I ended up enjoying Deadlight myself.

 

[Fushichou187]

Raising money for Rime eh

Seems like it. Which given the dismissive way they've handled the messaging towards the public on Rime's status after we learned Sony dropped it, a cash grab a week later sticks in my craw a bit. But whatever, they're allowed to sell what they want if there's a market for it.

I'm sure they did market research........right?

The probably researched the status of their loans from the Spanish government and realized if they don't deliver on Rime, or at least raise enough money to pay stuff back, they're in hot water.

 

[ViviOggi]

Deadlight is absolute garbage, I guess the plan is to kill any remaining hype for Rime so they can cancel in peace

 

[Stumpokapow]

I liked Deadlight a lot and I think you will too if you like clunky, heavy, realistic-physics platformers like the early Prince of Persia games. It's about the right length for the ideas it has, it's pretty speedrunnable too. I think some people are disappointed that the game is what is; that the second section didn't have enough zombies, that some of the puzzles and platforming were trial and error, that combat was clunky. I think if you know that going in and you don't mind or you actually enjoy that, you'll think a lot of the game.

 

[akilshohen]

Nope. I finished the achievements for that game so I would never have to go back. Too linear and scripted when you actually got in the game.

 

[Guymelef]

So Deep Silver is publishing this...

Would be funny if they take care of Rime as well...but after Dead Island 2 and Homefront Revolution would make sense...

 

[speedomodel]

Game wasn't THAT bad, but definitely had some major flaws. Curious on the price, was an easy 100%.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

It's not looking good for Rime if this is Plan A.

Probably plan F after every other publisher laughed and hung up.

*edit

They found another sucker

 

[Doctor Ironic]

What's up with the WhatsApp references?

I enjoyed the 360 version, but I will probably not bother with this one.

Plan b sounds much more enjoyable.
