I can't help but think of the film when I hear The Butterfuly Effect. But it is an interesting theory and should always prove to be a good way to write a story, especially one that relies on choice.

Imp0ssibl33162d ago

I've always been a sucker for games heavy on choices and consequences. Now my interest for Until Dawn has peaked!

Thatguy-3103162d ago (Edited 3162d ago )

Dude imagine how awesome would be if they fully went all out with choices like the movie cabin in the woods. Like the type of monsters you would face would revolve around the choices you make. Loved this game and truly hope they explore more of the slasher genre with these types of play styles

Jalva3162d ago (Edited 3162d ago )

"The Butterfly Effect" is hardly a new feature to gaming, but I do think that Until Dawn has done it better than other game before it, now if an open world game can somehow pull this off I'll be really impressed.

kaiserfranz3162d ago

Indeed, though it is particularly hard to accomplish in such a story and characters heavy game.

I would like to see it in an open world, too.

Didn't u jus have two bubbles like an hour ago on the last article? Am i missing something on how this site works

Jalva3162d ago (Edited 3162d ago )

Father glitch has blessed me once again, I ain't complaining lol

FrostedFire3162d ago

off topic,Is this your other account?

On topic,I have yet to play the game but it seems like this would be a very good game to play with a bunch of friends.

Mostafeto3159d ago

The butterfly effect is a great addition to any narrative game coming out in the future. We all want to feel that we are the ones who decide how the story goes.

Jalva3159d ago

"We all want to feel that we are the ones who decide how the story goes."

That's not how the majority of this site feels, they love being forced down a linear path with a set narrative and no replay value, which is why this site loves Naughty Dog so much.

Cannot wait to play this. Think the Butterfly Effect will be even more harrowing than a Telltale game!

Alexious3162d ago

I'm not that fond of Telltale Games, and I'm enjoying Until Dawn more so far.

Kratos0Ultra3162d ago

Until Dawn is better than any Tell Tale Game I have played so far. More immersive, better story, better characters, better choices, and more replay value

-Foxtrot3162d ago

This is exactly why I think washed up franchises should be rebooted as a remake then change a small thing so future games are different.

SaveMeJebus3162d ago

This is a great game. I haven't played a game that glued my face to the TV screen more then this one in a long time. 10/10 in my book.

SaveFerris3162d ago

You have a great avatar name. I love that episode.

Doesn't look any different to the ps4 version. Hope it's not another lazy Sony remaster a.k.a remake.

Andy_Dee65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Wrong, they even showed it on the last State of Play and I just played it the month before since I wanted to go back to it.

It does look better and more cleaned up, it's not a remake at least what they said. They said remaster so this article is wrong from the info I've heard.

Until Dawn is getting remastered to coincide with the live-action movie.

So not a Lazy remake and yes it looks better! :)

CrimsonWing6964d ago

It’s pretty different looking.

Neonridr64d ago

I'm sure it's a fair upgrade seeing as it's UE5 now. That being said, the original was not ugly by any stretch and I can't fully understand the need to remake this other than a cash grab to coincide with the movie that is coming eventually.

Crows9064d ago

Please point to me to a lazy remake?

A good game, had some fps troubles on ps4. So hopefully thats ironed out with some better looking graphics.

solideagle64d ago

I think Sony should rename PlayStation to RemakeStation. I am a Playstation fan but this is getting ridiculous. I think this is the weakest gen software-wise compared to all other gen.

PS2 > PS3 > PS1 > PS4 > PS5

Battlestar2364d ago

Agreed. Sony has released only remasters/remakes of games and noting new. MS has released so many new games i don't have the time to name the all.

solideagle64d ago

I have never owned or cared about Xbox, so I don't have any opinion about that. if you say that MS has released then I believe you I guess

Terry_B64d ago

Ratchet & Clank, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 7, Helldivers 2 , Horizon Forbidden West to name a couple.

And what Microsoft released in the last couple of years was way beyond the league of those listed games.

MrNinosan64d ago

Ratchet & Clank, Returnal, Spider-Man 2, Gran Turismo 7, Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarök, Horizon Forbidden West to mention a few of the good ones.
Then everything on PSVR2.
Then we have the bad ones, like Destruction AllStars and medium ones like Sackboy: A Big Adventure.

On top of that, there are lots of third party games.

Compare that to MS.
Redfall, MS Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport, Starfield, HiFi Rush. Did I miss anything?

Now lets compare the games, and see which console had the best start this generation.

solideagle64d ago

I think Sony should have abandoned the PS4. we have not seen true PS5 potential yet. where are those games that would load Assets from SSD where the character is looking <-- Mark Cerny

I hope all new games from Sony Studios are PS5 only from now...

CrimsonWing6964d ago

What’s worse is this gen is almost over, if you can believe it.

staticall64d ago

@solideagle
I completely agree with you. At first it was like «Hey, so cool, i've never played this game and it's getting a remake, means it'll be much better!» but now it's «Come on, i was just playing that, it still looks and plays just fine». I want to play new games, try new experiences, hear new stories from new characters. It's like gaming companies have hired George Lucas as a consultant or something.

@Battlestar23
> MS has released so many new games i don't have the time to name the all
Suuuuuuuure, dude. Come on, be real.

Felix_Argyle_Catbro64d ago

Looks like the PS4 version. Lol, that'd be 70 bucks.

Machina64d ago

Cheap and quick way to fill in the release calendar in-between major new games - that's why pretty much all the major publishers have been doing it.

This is a fun game. But remaking this is lazy. A cheap remaster while a new game is being developed would have had more value for the customer.

EvertonFC79d ago

Yeah I here ya, I'm on the fence tbh as I think the haptics could be really cool but it seems a little early.
I guess it's to tie in with the movie release so makes sense somewhat.

outsider162479d ago

This over Killzone remake? Or Socom 2 remake?

monkey60279d ago

Less effort and there's a movie release to tie into.
I am very tired of all these remakes and remasters of games from recent years. If they're going to remake anything it should be a lot older.

Chevalier79d ago

If the Resistance trilogy on PS3 was being remade I would buy that day 1. Really hope the franchise returns along with Killzone

JEECE79d ago

Socom 2 remake wouldn't be worth the effort. I don't know the exact number it finally sold, but from looking at articles from a few years after launch, it looks to have gotten in the ballpark of 3 million. It has been twenty years now so many of those people probably don't even play games anymore, and the people who play multiplayer games now would start whining about Socom about three weeks after launch about how "there isn't enough content" and "they just sent it out to die." Granted, it would probably develop a small but dedicated player base from the old crowd who want a stable, solid multiplayer game instead of a live service, but that isn't a lucrative proposition for Sony.

EvertonFC79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

It was the same when millions of gamers asked for a sly remake then when the game came out it sold like 10,000 copies.
Sometimes we think we want the old games then in reality nobody ever buys it 😂🤣

outsider162479d ago

You have a point though. I guess we want it because of nostalgia. Was hoping we'd get a socom with a good single player and ofcourse multiplayer, maybe it'll sell well.
