Until Dawn review - MMGN

Originally announced for PlayStation 3 as a PS Move title an age and a half ago, Supermassive Game's Until Dawn finally arrives on PlayStation 4. Has it been worth the wait? That depends on you. Do you enjoy games with a strong player-driven choice system? What about one featuring a b-grade horror story that draws inspiration from some of the genre’s best films? If you answered yes, then chances are this is the PS4 exclusive for you.

This is the type of game Morpheus should be used for.

When you need to make a decision you simply look in the direction of the option you want for a brief moment, and off you go. Hopefully there's a patch for it, and first person mode added next year.

As of now I can't drop $60 on it, even though I'm interest so I'll Gamefly it and buy it on Black Friday.

leahcim3161d ago

WOW I sincerely was expecting a flop.

DarkOcelet3161d ago

Why are you so negative?

Why cant people accept that this genre of interactive games has its audience? Sigh.

Paleblood3161d ago

I was expecting a flop too but not because I am negative but because I know that despite this genre to be good, the media doesn't feel the same.

I am glad it turned out to be good but it was a surprise.

PSIN4MANT3161d ago

This game is looking like its gonna defy the haters.. I am excited.

hesido3161d ago

Those who are hitting disagree button on positive comments and not caring to explain why they are disagreeing?

PSIN4MANT3161d ago

There were videos out Yesterday, already declaring the game a flop.

chrisx3161d ago

Another great PS exclusive

Hoffmann3161d ago

8 People disagree because ...well nobody knows.

NeoGamer2323161d ago

If 8/10 defines a great review, then gamer's standards have fallen considerably.

Bloodborne was great... This is not great.

ShadowWolf7123161d ago

If an 8/10 is a bad game to you, you're ridiculous.

Heck, even a 6 means it's above average. Something we seem to forget in this day and age of chasing "perfection".

NeoGamer2323161d ago (Edited 3161d ago )

@ShadowWolf712
I don't remember my comment saying that 8/10 is a bad game. I simply said 8/10 does not define it as a great game.

The game has not released so these are pre-reviews. Most pre-reviews are 5-10 points above the average reviews once the game comes out. So this game will be lucky to maintain 75-80 after release as an average.

I won't call that a bad game at all. I call it an average game because the lion's share of reviews give games 70-80. Definitely, not the kind of numbers you see from great games like Bloodborne, and Witcher 3.

"Great" should be reserved for rare games that are truly a cut above everything else... This review puts this game in the average to slightly above average category.

And 6/10 is usually, not at all a great game. it is usually non-memorable.

TwoForce3161d ago

What a troll ! Do you really hate Until Dawn because it's inspired by Heavy Rain? So far the review of this game have been very positive.

NeoGamer2323161d ago

@TwoForce
Where did I ever say I "hate" Until Dawn? Please, cite any direct reference to "hating" this game.

ShadowWolf7123161d ago

"Heck, even a 6 means it's above average."

"And 6/10 is usually, not at all a great game. it is usually non-memorable."

And you said what differently?

And yeah, an 8/10 is a great score, especially for a game like this. You can try to spin all you like, you know what you were implying.

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

Andy_Dee59d ago (Edited 59d 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! :)

CrimsonWing6959d ago

It’s pretty different looking.

Neonridr59d 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.

Crows9059d ago

Please point to me to a lazy remake?

Hedstrom59d ago

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

solideagle59d 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

Battlestar2359d 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.

solideagle59d 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_B59d 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.

MrNinosan59d 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.

solideagle59d 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...

CrimsonWing6959d ago

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

staticall59d 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_Catbro59d ago

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

Machina58d 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.

EvertonFC74d 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.

outsider162474d ago

This over Killzone remake? Or Socom 2 remake?

monkey60274d 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.

Chevalier74d ago

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

JEECE74d 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.

EvertonFC74d ago (Edited 74d 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 😂🤣

outsider162474d 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.
