PSXE Poll Update: Until Dawn Generates Definite Interest

Ben-Dutka 22 Comments

Even though Sony is doing a crappy job of promoting it, at least most of our readers are still intrigued.

According to the results of our latest poll, the majority of participants planned to pick up Until Dawn this past week.

It has received more than a few glowing reviews and its blend of adventure and horror elements results in an intoxicating experience. We say it's well worth your time, and add that Supermassive's quality product isn't correctly marketed , as far as we're concerned. It's just not fair to pigeonhole the game without acknowledging its very ambitious nature.

This week, we're not going to ask if you plan on picking up Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain because we already know the answer. 😉 Rather, we're interested to know if you think it'll be the ultimate Game of the Year when the dust has settled. Konami seems awfully confident that it's the best product of 2015, but are you willing to make that prediction without playing it? Or are you banking on another title? Let us know.

Many believe it could be one of the year's most impressive titles.

Well, let's see if developer Supermassive Games can come through: As the team announced via Twitter , the PlayStation 4 exclusive horror game Until Dawn has gone gold.

This means it'll undoubtedly be available to play on launch day, August 25. This is a slick thriller with plenty of star power; the freaky adventure features big-name talent like Peter Stormare ("Fargo," "The Big Lebowski"), Rami Malek ("Need for Speed," "Night at the Museum") and Hayden Panettiere ("Heroes," "A Bug's Life"). The game has been in development for quite a while and has gone through several manifestations (including a PS3 version with PlayStation Move support).

Finally, though, it's ready to go. When eight friends take a fun trip to the mountains, they have no idea what lies in store…classic scary stuff.

Sony Reveals Until Dawn, A Horrifying PS Move Experience

Ben-Dutka 21 Comments

Sony has been lifting the lid on all sorts of new stuff at Gamescom today.

One of them is a new "teen horror-style" project from Supermassive Games that will take advantage of the PlayStation Move controller and launch some time in 2013.

It's called Until Dawn and we'll take control of multiple characters who – we're assuming – are gonna have to find a way to survive. The Move will be utilized in a "totally natural way," as it will fill different mechanical roles, such as a flashlight that will allow us to find our way in the dark. As for the plot and story, the developer says they've teamed up with Hollywood writers and various TV talent, and they're promising a downright "shocking" script. We could definitely use some good writing.

This could be a survival/horror revival of sorts, as purist fans of that genre say new franchises like Dead Space and the action-oriented approach of Resident Evil 6 are squashing the category's roots. Well, this one could be the epitome of survival/horror, so…
