Until Dawn: The Most Self-Aware Horror Game Ever?

Lucy O'Brien writes "30 years ago, you’d be hard pressed to find a horror movie that didn’t focus on attractive teenagers getting cut up into little pieces as punishment for their rebellious attitudes and sexual proclivities. Though the slasher film in earnest eventually ran out of steam at the end of the ‘80s, it’s since found success in throwbacks and parodies; affectionate nods to a time when jocks were jocks, nerds were nerds, and everyone desired the pretty blond cheerleader."

I can't wait for the game. The only problem I have is that it comes out like a day or two before MGSV, and I know that once it drops MGSV will be living in my PS4 for the rest of the year. Well maybe until Fallout 4!

I'll be picking this up for me a the wife to play through together. I think this would be an ideal game to watch a playthrough or two.

No Mad Max or Just Cause 3?

I'm still debating if I really want to buy MGSV and Mad Max on the same day . . . 2 open world games on the same day.

I think the shortest is in the UK and it's 4 days from Friday to Tuesday

Was really looking forward to this game, it had so much promise but the cheese factor has definitely turned me right off. Can't understand when people get a kick & enjoy cringing. Still we don't know all that much so maybe there's a surprise in it somewhere.

If you don't like 80's horror movies then chances are you won't like this. I grew up on Elm Street and Friday the 13th movies so I can't wait.

MasterCornholio3632d ago

I believe that they made it cheesy on purpose.

OrangePowerz3632d ago

It's in the vein of 80s and 90s horror movies so it's cheesy on purpose :)

I'm confused. Did they contribute to the writing of the movie?

darthv7254d ago

I think the game writes should be glad... the movie is not that good. Its connection to the game is in name only.

Until Dawn Remake.

Saved you a click.

OtterX57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Boring. The original was a decent game, but not something worth revisiting. I guess this is alright for anyone who never played the original.

Now, Rush of Blood should have been the real priority for a remake on PSVR2.

Until Dawn remake, Death Stranding, and a random PS4 game?

Until Dawn was already a PS Plus game! And not even that long ago.
The fact that JUST BECAUSE an Until Dawn movie just released in theaters so SONY trying to push the name is not right for us long time subscribers.

CrimsonWing6957d ago

I mean, technically it’s the Remake. It’s possible that many missed out on the PS4 one when it was a PS+ game. I actually was interested to see what this one is like, but had no intention of buying it, so that’s a plus for me… pun intended.

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic210d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23210d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger200d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.
