Until Dawn |OT| I know what you'll play this summer

There was one particular part in one of the end chapters where the sound mixing on the footsteps through the snow is all sorts of fucked up.
Other than that, I think issues with the voice mixing just comes down to the way it was recorded, not necessarily anything you can do about in post.

In the special features section they mentioned that since theres so many choices that change gameplay, they record voices and mo-cap separately.
EDIT: Not sure if thats relevant to the problem here, though.

Yeah, there were some issues with the sound. Turned on subtitles and got used to it eventually.

Just beat the game, and I loved it! Lost only one person early on.
I'm working to keep them all alive from the episode I lost the character in now and should hopefully get them all to the end tomorrow.
I can't believe how amazing this game was; I was truly not expecting it to be so good. It looked pretty cool, but I never expected it to be this amazing. I can not wait to start a true second playthrough from the very beginning and kill everyone off
Josh looked like he was turning into a Wendigo and I'm not sure if there's a better ending for him or not.

Worst case scenario would be putting the voice volume at max and putting everything else a few notches lower.
I wouldn't be surprised, the animation and voices seem to be slightly off.

I hope they'll fix the few QTEs where the button prompt appears ridiculously tiny.
I suppose they tried to make it more challenging that way, but they really are challenging enough as it is. I didn't even have time to squint in order to make out which button it was, and fucked up.
Also, one of the trophies (
) popped out randomly like 24 hours after I had done what was asked. First time that happens to me on PS4.

Is there any way to skip the opening title screen sequence?
The sound is so loud it makes me jump everytime I start playing the game
Yep, jump scare before you even start the game.
Just finished. Absolutely adored the game. Shame about the confusing (misleading?) DLC bonus chapter, though.
I started the game as soon as I got home--didn't have the patience to wait for Best Buy to email me my code--and the bonus chapter is nowhere to be found.
One obnoxious Internet search later and I understand that the bonus material may be some scenes tacked on to the end of Chapter 2? Is that true? If so, LAME.

GameFly came through and I got the game only 2 days after release, which is pretty damn good for them.
I like it so far. Visuals are impressive. Story is compelling enough that I am interested in continuing to play, but I have really not been scared once yet, and I was hoping perhaps that would be different.
I seriously think the fact I saw The Exorcist in its entirety when I was 6 years old (in 1980) has ruined being scared for me by movies, or in this case games. It is actually comical how still I have been so far on the camera moments.
Chapter 3 just started, so I am assuming, actually hoping, it is just starting up. I want to be scared, I really do, so I hope it eventually delivers.
But as far as this type of game goes, it so far is one of the better ones I have played. As of right now though I am very happy I decided to do a rental. I just could not see me playing this again once I am done. I also have limited time to play these days so that is no doubt a contributing factor. I do not play any games twice. That is just how it is being a Grandpa Gamer.
I do hope it picks up though. I found myself nodding off here and there. Granted it is actually past my bedtime and it is a work night, but I was straight up falling asleep.
It is good. Very good even, but I am not feeling the greatness others seem to be. Again only just started Chapter 3, so hoping it ramps up.

literally stood up with my hands on my head, wife screaming - etc
game is a total blast, the suspense and the weight of some of these decisions are really on another level
highly recommend playing this game with a significant other or a friend or two - just like a campy horror movie, its fun in a group
edit:
also, is it just me - or are there moments in this game that have you guys saying "some of the best visuals i've ever seen"?
i mean wow, not everything is perfect, but some areas in this game really have me squinting at the game and second guessing my reality, shit hits high notes like woah
It ramps
Just finished it. Gotta say I really enjoyed this game. I don't usually enjoy horror games.
Perfect length for a rental. I got it from Gamefly. As much as I enjoyed it, I don't think I could recommend dropping $60 on it.
Made it to the end with only 1 character dying
. I did exit and reload twice when a character died because I fucked up QTEs.
I like that idea a lot. A sequel with a Cabin in the Woods-y vibe would be amazing.

The visual image you gave me made me lol.
Also yeah, this game looks good as hell. They made really, really good use of the Killzone 4 engine.

Finished it. Pretty mad that I messed up at the end with a "don't move" QTE when I feel like I really didn't move. Oh well. You can jump in and redo episodes, I'll probably redo the end. Fun game! I need to return my Redbox rental, but seriously thinking about buying it to replay with friends.

I seen photos of the steel book. It's a little disappointing. The letters "Until Dawn" are not even printed onto the case, it's a plastic slipcover. So when you take that off you're left with a grunge blue case with 'PS4' in the top right.
Does the steelbook come with the extra DLC anyone know?

Yes.
Whaddya mean? The Steelbook is a true representative of what the victim sees when they are bound and gagged while laying face down bleeding in the toilet. >
One of the worst Steelbook ever. Nice glossy finish but I prefer the skull design

Awesome, I figured it did but glad to hear confirmation. There's no doubt my overall impression can greatly change if this is the case and I do already think it is very good.
Also the don't move bits have been annoying so far, I'm really not moving but it says I am, so for now I've resorted to just laying the controller on the coffee table although I know I'm going to regret it at some point thanks to a button prompt or QTE coming up right after.

Was it the part where
you have to choose who to shoot, yourself as Chris or Ashley? Because I did nothing and saved both.
Also is there a list where all the totems are and are they all the same?
Did you
hear them scream and then the screen fade to black? I didn't actually saw them die so i was hoping maybe they're alive

Keep playing hehe.
Dont buy it if you dont get it for free. Watch it on youtube or something. Extreme rip-off by Sony.
Most of them are faked excluding Jessica and Matt who can die before the wendigo reveal. If they survive they are both written out of the story for quite some time though, so you are mostly correct in your assumption.
Finished it, ended up with
As a whole I loved it and I'd like to replay is someday to try and get everyone to survive.
only Sam, Matt, and Chris left. Most of the deaths happened from choices I couldn't have seen coming, which kind of sucks. I wanted Mike and Ashley to live and they died in the explosion at the very end. Jessica ended up dying in the mines while trying to run away with Matt. I was also really bummed when the wolf died in the sanitorium when Mike was trying to escape.
The explosion is weird. If you don;t have Emily alive at that point you would have no idea that the survivors leave one by one every time you stay in the lodge instead of running to the switch. Jess on the other hand should have been super obvious. You tried to have a limping girl outrun a wendigo.
Jessica is like terrible though
For people worried about The whole Twitch archiving stuff, apparently it was a mistake that should get fixed according to Engadget. http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/27/until-dawn-twitch-archives/
Yeah I screwed up with Jess, I just didn't think about it when I made that decision haha. Oh well.
Yea I was thinking of getting a second-hand copy of this game but after reading the glowing impressions on here, I'm going to be picking it up full-priced and all. Supermassive games deserve all the success they get.

So I just started this tonight with a friend who came to visit from out of town. This game is fucking amazing. Great atmosphere. There's a lot more freedom to move around the lodge than I thought, too, for some parts. Can't wait to dig in more deeply.

I went ahead and watched this game through YouTube. Kinda feel bad but not really. Honestly felt like I was just watching a movie so no real urge to "play". However, I may rent the game in the future for dem trophies.
