Until Dawn is even more fun when you turn it into a murderous competition

It’s been a couple years since Until Dawn, Supermassive’s cabin-in-the-woods horror game, first let players experience the fun of playing mercurial director, deciding who lives and who dies in a stereotypical cinematic setup. And while it earned its fair share of criticism for the stock characters and cookie-cutter writing, I enjoyed the way it toyed with those same conventions, allowing the player’s knowledge of horror tropes to help shape the game, giving you the option to be either earnest stand-in for the characters or sadistic strategist, playing God (and havoc) with the lives of the largely unlikeable cast. (Peter Stormare’s demented psychologist interstitials accounted for a large part of that fun, as he analyzed you in between hours of the game and chewed scenery with glee.)

Great idea can't wait to try it like this with my wife, TY.

Soulst0rmer2818d ago

Cerebral Bore... AKA..
It was badass and killer!!!

KwietStorm_BLM2818d ago

It was 10x more entertaining than I expected it to be, especially with an audience.

2pacalypsenow2818d ago

I don't get the disagrees, not every game will appeal to everyone.

Christopher2818d ago

Probably because he took the time to just say that by clicking into a submission discussing a game he obviously has no interest in. If the game is a bore, why even waste time on a submission about it, let alone only comment that the game is a bore rather than what it's about, which is a way to make it more exciting?

_-EDMIX-_2818d ago

Ok, why are they coming on an article to troll on something they don't like?

I get every game will not appeal to everyone, but that doesn't really explain the strange comment. Nonetheless, we are free to disagree with him, just as much as he is free to disagree with us.

You don't get the disagrees, yet state not every game will appeal to everyone?

Ummmmm maybe you better read your post again 2pac.

OB1Biker2817d ago (Edited 2817d ago )

It's ok to disagree that the game is a bore, isn't it?
I don't get that you don't get it haha
Agrees or disagrees are also a way to express an opinion. It's not FB like some people make it out to be like or dislike.

It was better than Quantum Broken

81BX2818d ago

What was broken about QB?

DarXyde2817d ago

I didn't like Quantum Break much, but that's a pretty unnecessary comment.

81BX2817d ago

Weird i never ran into any technical issues during my run through

You drunk! This game is an instant classic for me. Absolutely loved it!

subtenko2817d ago

Try buying a ps4 and playing the game to experience it

Jinger2816d ago

What makes you think I don't have a ps4 and haven't played it? You think I'd come on here to say something about a game I have never played?

jlove4life2818d ago

Link take me to a bunch of other articles cant read what was done in dawn smh

gangsta_red2818d ago

I got to the end with everyone surviving and the last moment I had to stay still to save the hero cheerleader chick...I was a statue...and then all of a sudden she gets killed ....

Pissed me off because I could have had everyone survive. I thought about going back to that game but unfortunately once you know the story it just isn't the same.

Excellent game tho.

Fist4achin2818d ago

Almost the same thing with me. I was kind of pissed to when that damn wendigo sensed her...

I agree, definitely a fun game with a cool story.

The_Sage2818d ago

You could have hit the PS button, closed the game and reloaded. I had to do that at the part of the game.

gangsta_red2818d ago

You know it never even crossed my mine to do this. I guess I was to in the moment.

Zeke682817d ago

I just put down my controller on my table (flat surface) because it only sensed you if you tilted the controller and it worked great for me :)

Soulst0rmer2818d ago

Aww damn. I thought I would have been good in Heavy Rain too. Ethan comes out at the end without Jason... cops open fired :'(

ClayRules20122818d ago

One of my fav games this console generation. Supermassive Games hit it out've the park with Until Dawn "in my opinion"

_-EDMIX-_2818d ago

Right next to Life Is Strange, this was one of my favorite surprises this gen. Didn't expect anything like it.

MrFisher212818d ago

I'm about to start up Life Is Strange this week.

ClayRules20122818d ago

Yeah, Life Is Strange ( regardless of the terrible lip sync ) had fantastic/believable voice over work. The cast was really amazing at bring the characters to life, and that's what kept me going to the end!

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic151d 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.

Storm23151d 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.

lockedongamer1151d ago (Edited 151d 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!

Chocoburger141d ago

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