Until Dawn Gameplay: What Would You Do? Run Or Hide?

PS4 exclusive Until Dawn is probably going to terrify you, as Nath and Dave prove in their Let's Play.
played two times to showcase some story differences

[NukaCola]

Platinum of raging anxiety. Looking forward to this.

[MrDead]

..... and relax, that was quite intense.

I love these sort of games, they remind me of these action books I use to get as a kid where you could choose your own path, oodles of replay on this game.

[SmielmaN]

Absolutely loved those books as a kid. Looking forward to this game!

[GamingChip79]

Hell yeah! I am so excited for this. Something different. Yes please.

[Fin_The_Human]

I don't play these types of games but other do so I am glad Sony takes a chance with games like this.

This is why I will always support Sony.

[AudioEppa]

I'll fight

*dead* the ends

[Dir_en_grey]

Make it with puzzle solving or even just item fetching like Resident Evil or Silent Hills, then it'll be somewhat fun.
Please don't make another The Order.

[Rimeskeem]

If you think it's gonna be like the Order you have never played Heavy Rain or Beyond

[BitbyDeath]

The Order is a shooting game, so..... no.

[sigfredod]

apples to oranges

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

it would look so much better gameplay wise without the quick time event

[BitbyDeath]

Nah, wouldn't be as tense then.
Thing about quick time events are you have to make your decisions quick and for good reason.

This game plays for real not like an FPS where you can take a dozen or two bullets before falling down.

Also remember unlike most games their are no respawns.
Your character dies, they do not come back for round 2.

[Bathyj]

This games sounds really intriguing. Every character can survive to the end or every character could die. I cant think of any other game that has such a profound cause and effect scenario. How well its implemented remains to be seen but its certainly ambitious to say the least.

QTE's have a bad rap but you nailed it, its not about reflexes, its about making decisions and living with the consequences and not having time to sit around and ponder the variables. You need to think and act quickly and then live (or die) with your choices.

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

oh i guess it wouldnt something i enjoy. Though i can see the appeal.

[mt]

it depends, heavy rain was one of the most amazing games I've played.

[DialgaMarine]

The graphics are great. Never really played Heavy Rain, and this seems very similar, so I might check it out.

[stonecold3]

looking forward to this game cant wait loved heavy rain beyond 2 souls and now add until dawn to the list

[davemyrose92]

Ohh man this game looks awesome, I hope it doesn't disappoint,

[StormLegend]

Looks great!

[OB1Biker]

It looks fantastic. I'm trying not to watch too much for spoilers also it seems a type of game you can easily play with friends/girlfriend around you having fun

[theshredded]

I'm intrigued

[Skankinruby]

I played this at PSX in Vegas, it just had me drooling for more. I love these types of games and the horror makes it that much better this is a day one purchase for me.

[tanukisuit]

You COULD run, but you'll only die tired...

[DigitalRaptor]

Seems that even with the general hate against QTEs in games, the feedback for this game has been great.

It's basically Heavy Rain with a cheesy teen-horror theme, but it has more playable characters, and a greater number of branching outcomes to the story. I think this is going to be a hit, especially with the Twitch community. Sony did well to court that crowd of people who like social interaction with their games.

Bring on the QTE hate. Bring on the predictable trolls who will say that they're just going to watch this on YouTube (plenty of people actually watch their games on Twitch or YouTube so it's not considered a bad thing). Great games from Santa Monica Studios, Telltale Games, Quantic Dream and Sega (Shenmue) will be waiting right behind battling the hate with quality.

[gangsta_red]

Press the triangle to run down the stairs? I had to shake my head right there.

I thought this game was going to be more like Siren which was an excellent game on PS3. But just seeing this demo and pressing QTE is just not interesting or engaging enough.
