Sony Re-Registers "Until Dawn", Possible PS Move Horror Game

After E3 2012, many analysts pointed out Sony's lack of focus on the Move, its motion-controller peripheral. It looks like they may have been holding off for Gamescom to make some a big announcement. Sony has re-registered the term "Until Dawn" with the US trademark body USPTO as "Computer game software; Video game software. "Until Dawn" first popped up way back in April 2010 and was rumored to be a horror title for the PlayStation Move.

Good, PS Move needs more titles. Wonder if this might be the competitor to ZombiU, although not like we need any more zombie games this year. Hope it features more psychological stuff. Amnesia type game with PS Move would be sick.

Disccordia4431d ago

I hope its non move. No point trying to bother with it now. There is no reason this game cant be great with traditional controls.

Thatguy-3104431d ago

It is that one game that was shown In a move trailer at gamescom 2010. It only showed glimpse of it but I'm positive that's one of the announcements.

jay24431d ago

Hoping we'll hear at Gamescom :D

Fishy Fingers4431d ago

It's been said before, but I wonder if it's that game that was shown in some early Move trailers where the lead held a flashlight (sure someone could find the gifs). It was one of only a few Move titles that intrigued me, fingers crossed.

DigitalRaptor4431d ago

You are correct. It's definitely the same game.

Here you go. Screenshot and gifs:

Please make it with the Sony HMZ or any HMD in mind like the PSN game Datura. Give me the option to turn one of the Move to a head-tracking device, while the other Move and Navigator for normal control. I want that virtual reality-like experience.

Hopefully not a lot of remasters

Eonjay3h ago

Agreed, but if I could pick one game to remaster first it would be Killzone 2. If you had to pick one which would it be?

Mr_cheese3h ago

I know it's not the same but I'd love a reboot of resistance or warhawk

u-bEttA-rUn3h ago

If they announce Kill Zone 2 remake or resistance 2 that multiplayer would be crazy. But Warhawk I would cry like a 2 year old 😂😂😂 give me bloody roar

ravens522h ago

God of War 1-3, Ascension, Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus all in One.

RaiderNation2h ago

I love Killzone, but I would prefer a complete reboot of the franchise, using the newest version of the Decima engine, rather than simply a remaster of part 2.

SimpleDad1h ago

Sony will not do Killzone 2 or any Killzone because they don't have plans for it in the future... No TV shows, no sequel, no Lego game, no multiplayer...

This is dead for Herman... Only Aloy.
And that's sad.

Zero hype for tomorrow.

Kingrizzy901h ago

legacy of kane, resistance, or just something totally new that hasnt been already done

Cacabunga53m ago(Edited 51m ago)

Hopefully zero gaas, will show that they’re starting to reason!!!
And yeah the remaster trend must also stop.
PS5 exclusives or nothing go home

A new Killzone, Uncharted, Tsushima, inFamous, Resistance, Wolverine or something original single player.

CobraKai23m ago

Killzone 1. In think that needs a retelling

only remasters, even remasters of games that aren't even out yet

DodoDojo3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Wrong, there will also be a 2 minute snippet of Lego Horizon.

bloop38m ago

If they don't show something from a couple of their big studios after the absolute disaster they've had with Concord then I'll lose all hope. This generation has been a complete letdown so far and there's very little to look forward to at the moment.

RaidenBlack3h ago

Pretty sure : RE9, Days Gone Remaster, HZD Remaster, 1 last SH2 trailer, Wolverine trailer, Until Dawn trailer
Maybe(s) : GoT 2 announcement, DS2 (but already happening@ TGS), Pragmata, TLOU2 or SpiderMan 2 PC announcement,
Wishlist : Santa Monica & Naughty Dog's new project tease, Marathon gameplay trailer
Don't Want : Any AC Shadows trailer, Any more remasters other than the ones leaked

Eonjay3h ago

You really think that other remaster is Days Gone? And my God what happened to Pragmata?!?

seanpitt233h ago

It’s 30 minutes, I think you’re being optimistic there, don’t have high expectations, I know mine are the lowest they have ever been since what i have witnessed these past 4 years!

Christopher2h ago

Only 5 remasters. They had to cut back to squeeze in 1 new announcement. They will have another SoP next month to cover the other 12 remasters.

-Foxtrot2h ago

*monkey paw curls*

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

Gravity Rush 1 & 2 Remastered

Until Dawn Remastered

potatoseal2h ago

I'm presonally looking forward to a Days Gone one. Would love any excuse to play that game again. I loved it

CobraKai24m ago

Im thinking showcasing Pro versions of existing games.

Loved the game. Will definitely double dip for this, as long as they didn't botch the remake. Be waiting for a bit of a sale though.

Why do Sony keep making obviously bad decisions?

TSA writes: While the PlayStation 5 has been the runaway winner of the generation, running laps around Xbox for the last few years, it's been a pretty bumpy ride.

darthv7217d ago

I disagree... Sony may make a bad decision now and then, but to say "keep making" implies they are doing it all the time. That is MS who does that. And to be honest, Sony gives every idea a chance, no matter how good or bad the end result turns out. The "bad decisions" are more associated with the teams who come up with them than Sony who just lets them do their thing.

pwnmaster300017d ago

100% agree.
One thing I like about Sony is they at least give it a try. No matter how much some fans disagree, they always take chances.

I mean look at Concord and Astrobot.
Two completely different games.

GhostScholar17d ago

Concord is the whole point of the article and no one wanted it and no one is playing it.

outsider162417d ago

They should have researched how the fanbase would react to it.
Would the game be better as a f2p model or paid.
100 million or more spent, they could atleast have done that.

Chevalier17d ago

I think people forget the original Uncharted opening month only sold 50,000, but, Sony believed in the series and built it up from nothing.

They could have been complacent and said no to TLOU when Uncharted blew up too.

Cacabunga16d ago

It’s ok to make bad decisions, the important thing is to learn from them and improve from there.. grants you more respect

fr0sty16d ago

Jim Ryan steered them off course with the GaaS BS, and once you start up several projects and dump hundreds of millions into them, you have to try to at least make something back off of them. Now that these games are releasing, we can start to move past them, and back to what made Sony so great to begin with.

thorstein16d ago

Concord was made by a studio that Sony bought a year ago. This entire article makes no sense in that context.

Tankbusta4016d ago

Concord wasnt a chance it was a idiotic cash grab that was 5-7 years too late to the hero shooter genre...a chance would be creating a game in a genre that wasn't established

But people blasted Microsoft when they let the redfall devs “do
Their thing” lol

Rude-ro17d ago

Big difference in waiting a decade for a new AAA ip from Microsoft for it to be redfall vs A game that got hammered non stop from the beginning from Sony.
Huge difference.

DodoDojo17d ago

Let them do their own thing? Lol Microsoft had them rush it outdoor when clearly they needed more time and according to reports many of the devs left during development because they didn't want to make a multi-player game.

pwnmaster300017d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Yeah like how everyone busted Sony for the same thing.

But also Sony didn’t really hype up concord. It was already blasted to hell.
Now MS hyped up redfall fully knowing it was ass.

Also red fall was really bad at launch unlike concord.

The only thing that saved red fall from having the same fate as concord was game pass. If Sony put concord on plus it would have a way more active fan base and be alive still

For me redfall is far worse then concord.

TheNamelessOne17d ago

@pwn

Sony didn't hype Concord? Open and closed beta, tons of advertising. They even spent the money to get it featured on that upcoming Amazon tv show - Secret Level. They outright bought the studio.

The hundreds of millions of dollars Sony spent around the Concord IP says otherwise.

derek17d ago

Neither the maker of Redfall or Microsoft are the victims of unfair treatment.

pwnmaster300017d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Thenamelessone.

I rarely saw any ads for concord, compare to other games like god of war, spider etc. tons of advertising??? Literally just normal advertising for a game they own.

Open and close beta, of course they will do an open beta. It’s a multiplayer game. Has any multiplayer game not have that?? The purpose of it is to work out the kinks that people didn’t like. That is not hyping a game up. Your reaching.

They literally just released how a normal multiplayer game should be. of course they will market a game they own, it’s literally their job to do so, but they did not overhype it to be something more then it was.
Redfall had more advertising then concord and that’s fact.

Einhander197216d ago

Ok, Redfall and Concord are totally different problems.

Redfall was rushed by Microsoft so much that the game was completely and obviously unfinishe. You might remember they had to put a sticker on the box because it didn't have the promised 60FPS mode, as well as the game being so broken the games enemy AI didn't work as well as textures that took minutes to fully load and many other problems, the game was barely even a beta build on release.

Concord was a fully finished and highly polished game that consumers simply didn't want. The game was not bad on the technical level at all, it was 100% made to Sony's highest standards.

FinalFantasyFanatic16d ago

@pwnmaster3000

I think I only ever saw one or two ads before Concord released, and even then, I saw more from streamers talking about the game, otherwise it's like this game barely existed, or at least the marketing barely existed.

Jim Ryan has been a complete sh*t show from the very start. In fact, this whole Gen has been maybe the weakest I’ve seen since… well, ever for Sony. I thought with Jimbo out things would be brighter, but… well, we’ve got a bunch more GaaS coming our way. Let’s just hope it gets balanced out with their stellar traditional games.

DarXyde16d ago

Frankly, we shouldn't really care if they do GaaS. Why not?

The issue, for me, is having the very competent non-GaaS studios work on GaaS. If they want Haven to do Fairgame$, I really don't care. Bungie can make Destiny and Marathon forever. But when you try to get Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Insomniac, Guérilla, etc etc on that?

Now we have a problem.

CrimsonWing6916d ago (Edited 16d ago )

@DarXyde

What is the point of the GaaS business model vs just making a traditional game? I guess the real question is why would you choose to develop GaaS games? I’ll give you a hint, it’s to f*cking continuously milk consumers through recurring revenue on a budget stretched thin over years.

The model is disgusting and quite frankly it’s some Frankenstein’d concept stemmed from the mobile game design model. I don’t care how fun a GaaS game is, it’s a model that is the cancer of this industry and the fact that they keep forcing it after failure after failure is revolting.

DarXyde14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Mate, I'm not a fan of GaaS games. I also don't like online multiplayer or first person shooters.

So what do I do?
Avoid all of them. I just pretend they don't exist. And really, I don't care for the studios making them either. Never played a Treyarch, Bungie, or whatever game I couldn't just tune out.

Same deal. Allow them to exist, but don't engage. They can be super scummy pay to win models, but we've got to let the community decide. Sony has already learned the hard way that a great single player studio doesn't mean they're a great GaaS studio.

I think they're learning the lessons quickly, really. Even if they still have some GaaS in the pipeline, we see how quickly they pulled the plug on Concord. They've been letting Insomniac cook, so I tend to believe they're being cautious and not letting their golden geese make those games.

0hMyGandhi16d ago

why do I get the impression that no one actually reads the articles anymore.
Read the article.

BehindTheRows16d ago

They'd rather argue with each other. If it wasn't so typical, it'd be funny.

You don’t keep making bad decision when you just released one of the best games of the generation.

Philaroni17d ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this. I don't want to even guess what's next. For all I know we could finally divide by zero. And the Mc Flurry machine will work at every Mc Donald's.

FinalFantasyFanatic16d ago

I don't even know what's going on anymore, it seems like dumb decisions all around despite clear warning signs, from Microsoft/Sony, from multiple developers, etc... The entire gaming landscape is just baffling at the moment.

VivaChe17d ago

The writer's take on PSVR -- totally true. But it's not just PSVR; for whatever reason all the VR companies just don't invest and support the platform like they should. Even the mighty Oculus Quest 2 + 3 have oddly feeble software support. I see mostly the same games and apps on the store now as I did 3 years ago. PSVR is another one of Sony's "abandonware" examples (along with Vita, PS TV, etc. etc.) that are just head scratchers. Like why even develop and release a piece of hardware if you're not going to support it? I don't know.

But the writer isn't correct about the Portal. That one has been a success I think. It works pretty well, and lots of people love it. Now notably, that one doesn't require much ongoing support from Sony -- it has one purpose and it does it fine enough -- so maybe that has helped.

ChasterMies16d ago

VR companies are appropriately investing in and supporting the platform. VR is still niche, generally uncomfortable to wear, difficult with glasses ,still causes motion sickness, and requires a play space that a lot of people don’t have.

TheNamelessOne17d ago

They've definitely fumbled hard in the live service space (buying Bungie, the utter failure of Concord, spending years on Factions 2 just to cancel it), Even Helldivers 2, which was a hit at launch, has lost most of its user-base due to weak post-launch support.

Other than that though, they've been doing well.

RhinoGamer8817d ago

Spoiled and arrogant. PSVR failures should have resulted in a house cleaning. The Discord Sony team should be fire...lots of talent on the market.
