Until Dawn: New Trailer Lets You Take Control

Just finished it and... wow.

It's something quite extraordinary. It's like reinventing the wheel and putting it on fire. I'm actually quite speechles. Need to revisit some of the things tomorrow.

LiS and UD are completely different beasts even though both are "cinematic experiences". UD wiped everything clean, this is how you make these games. And I still love LiS.

Sorry for the tease guys. I'm eagerly waiting for Monday to see what other people have to say about it. I can't wait to clear my head on this one.

How does replaying it work? Can you fast forward/skip ahead or anything?

Damn, that sounds good. I still expect reviews to be highly divisive.

Haha damn dude you are going hard!! Your posts along with the gameplay vids I've watched took this game from barely on my radar to a day one buy in a 24 hour span.
 
I'm getting the impression that this could be a surprise sleeper hit, but maybe we're getting too small a sample in this thread.

At the very least, it looks like it will be divisive, rather than universally panned. And that's already kind of exciting.
 
All these positive teases...

I wish I could talk about this game. I just finished it this morning and can't stop thinking about it.

Can't even give a thumbs up or down? Smiley face or frowny face?
 
Got a title yet?

I got a ton, thus I am a bit torn atm. I do have a favourite though.

Until Dawn |OT| The Fateful Eight
Until Dawn |OT| The Road Not Taken
Until Dawn |OT| I know what you'll play this summer
Until Dawn |OT| A cheerleader, a black guy and 6 of their friends go into the woods..
Until Dawn |OT| Save the Cheerleader!
Until Dawn |OT| To the left, to the left
 
I really want this game day 1, but there isn't any deal around yet.

It will be very difficult for me, not to spoil it by watching some LP the day this game releases.
 
These impressions are killing me. I work three nights in a row starting the 25th so I won't be able to play really until the weekend.

I got a ton, thus I am a bit torn atm. I do have a favourite though.

The Road Not Taken for sure. That Robert Frost trailer was hype.

Would be better as "I know what you played last summer", but either way I vote this.

EDIT: NVM, thinking about it my suggestion is worse.

My vote. Too good.
 
+1 for Until Dawn |OT| I know what you'll play this summer.

Road Not Taken reminds me too much of that awful PS+ game we got a couple of months ago. :p
 
Not particularly hard to review lower than 70 these days with reviewers getting more harsh, especially towards this kind of game. Wont surprise me though if it reviews higher than The Order (which sits around 63), this game knows what it wants to be at least.

This is a false narrative.
 
OK, I know that we only have a few people who have played beaten/it, but I just can't shake the feeling that this is going to surprise a lot of people.

Are we witnessing the start of something special?

And yes, I most certainly am getting ahead of myself. Can't wait to play this. Right after my mother in law leaves. She is staying until WED....until dawn.

Depending on your relationship with said mother in law, you might want to start while she's there?

It could be that i'm projecting my own feeling towards my mother in law though.
 
Wow all these positive impressions had me hyped!

I'm actually thinking of just going ahead and pre-ordering this. In our country we actually get the Steel Book plus free movie tickets with the game if we pre-order this, which is actually pretty cool I guess.

I like my mother in law, and she's cool about my obsession with video games. She's even asked pointed questions about them before. My late father in law bought a 360 when he was 75, and gamed hard. We would always talk about games when they visited.

I may even show her the game to exemplify how Hollywood actors are getting in on the gig.

And then someone in the game will get stabbed in the face and I'll rush to turn it off.
 
Just a few little tid bits. There is a whole range of behind the scenes videos to unlock. Cast interviews, etc....really sells the idea of this movie like experience almost like bluray features. Also if you have a camera, the game will record you at key jump scenes. Those are fun to watch back.
See I love little small stuff like this.
 
Damn all those ultra positive impressions! Didn't expect it.

Really hoping for this game to review well and be a big success, there are lots of games in this genre today after Heavy Rain's success, but not enough AAA, most games in this genre today miss the production values that should benefit them tremendously, great presentation is ultra important to these games and Until Dawn looks beautiful, really happy to hear it has a good writing and story and that it seems to be surprisingly good.
 
This is a false narrative.
Dont really see how from a general perspective, but it doesnt belong into here anyway.


Honestly, I'm surprised it's taken this long to happen. David Cage should've been on that shit the moment development on Heavy Rain wrapped up. Instead, he settled on the tepid Beyond.
Well sadly he wasnt entirely free in choosing Beyond, as Sony wanted a "sequel" out asap for PS3. Definitely a wrong decision to make for that studio. I rather have him do whatever he wants with a 5 year dev plan, so he can come up with something unique and crazy again. Hopefully for PS4.
