Forbes: My mission in playing the new slasher-trope Playstation 4 game, Until Dawn: save all four female characters. Not just the virginal, easy-to-like woman voiced by Heroes’ “Save The Cheerleader, Save the World” Hayden Panettiere, but the slutty one and the bitchy one and the geeky one—each of whom are written as obligatory irritating movie archetypes designed to make you hate them.
That’s the cool thing about Until Dawn. It’s got everything slasher movie fans expect—eight teens alone in a cabin in the woods, complete with its own bad history. Josh (voiced by Mr. Robot’s Rami Malek), on the anniversary of his twin sisters’ mysterious disappearance, invites his hottest, horniest friends back to a cabin to … celebrate? Naturally, the cabin is so secluded, it’s reached via a cable car over a canyon the teens must operate themselves. Ultimately however, the player can subvert some of the slasher genre’s most tired tropes. I know from my share of horror that women, the more sexual and outspoken the better, are destined to end up dead before the end of a horror film. Until Dawn let me change that story.
Leaked screenshots from Sony Interactive Entertainment and Ballistic Moon's upcoming remake of Until Dawn have reportedly emerged.
Doesn't look any different to the ps4 version. Hope it's not another lazy Sony remaster a.k.a remake.
A good game, had some fps troubles on ps4. So hopefully thats ironed out with some better looking graphics.
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
An early new Until Dawn comparison video has been released, comparing the visuals from the upcoming UE5 version to those of the 2015 original.
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.
Tim and Luis talk what they’ve been watching and playing along with the news from the past week, including all the games from Sony’s “State of Play,” Evil West, Silent Hill: The Short Message, Hideo Kojima weirdness, Spec Ops: The Line delisted and more!
The only one I reeeaaally wanted to save was Ashley. I was devastated when she died, and even more devastated that Emily was the only female survivor of my first play through. I have since saved them all and seen Emily die several different horrible ways, so now I'm at peace.
