While Until Dawn might be one of Sony’s new IPs this generation, it didn’t seem to get the marketing push as some of the publisher’s other first-party games.
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.
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! :)
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
@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.

Suuuuuuuure, dude. Come on, be real.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If the Resistance trilogy on PS3 was being remade I would buy that day 1. Really hope the franchise returns along with Killzone
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.
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 😂🤣
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.

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!
I understand Yoshida and thanks for explaining intellectual property and being honest about popularity of an IP.
#Sonyisstillbusiness but it's a good consumer business!

I forget to thanks gamers for advertising Until Dawn, and giving a fanbase.
With the heavy free Youtube Marketing Until Dawn got, i expect it to sell well. Maybe 2 to 3 millions and for its type of game, that is incredible.
A new IP that was born to sell itself? Okay.
Well talking from experience, I saw ads all over the place online, and even on TV past the watershed. Okay they could've spent a budget on billboards and frankly it would not have made that much of an impact - or they could have sent promos out to guys like PewDiePie and let the word of mouth spread incredibly well from gamers. Until Dawn is actually a commercial hit and is doing respectably well for the kind of game it is.
I am not sure how anyone can really market this game without making it sound cheesy and crap or misrepresenting the game. What is selling this game is the amount of youtubers playing it and recommending it. That is the marketing that will work for this game. Adverts are not
Until Dawn was marketed well in the UK. I saw plenty of commercials/ads on almost every major broadcast network. I haven't gotten the game yet...
Waiting for Uncharted Collection ..and then Until Dawn for Halloween fright night )
