Until Dawn new previews and gameplay

that Polygon video is fun, although it did show one choice that will cause a character being dead, so don't watch beyond around 7:05 if you want to go in this game blind, the video past that set off a series of choices with one of the character dead in the end

Yeah, I'm not multilingual.

I don't speak Spanish or Italian either, a little bit German and French, but Google Chrome to the rescue! You said there was only 4 previews today, I just showed there was many more. :)

Btw, the gamereactor.eu preview is English.

Thanks I made a spoiler warning.

I'm really on board with this game. I think it'll get a good following with youtubers and might be the sleeper hit of the year.

Sounds like a Telltale style game with higher production values and a cheap horror vibe.

Appealing, but I'll probably wait til its like £10-15.

the branching path seems much more significant though, one of the preview mentioned you'd want to beat the game 9 times

Wait, the dude from Mr. Robot (Rami Malek) is in this?

Same guy? Sounded like him too.

looks promising, this would be a great game when people come over
It's definitely what I plan to do. Going to pass the controller around whenever there is a character switch so it's each person's responsibility to make sure their character survives. Plenty of laughs, drinking, and hopefully scares!

That could start some fights. If you do something with your character, that causes someone elses to die, it could get ugly.

Graphics look much better than the last time I saw it. It actually looks like a PS4 game now. They need to work on the lip syncing more. The psychiatrist looked good but the rest of the cast's lips looked off but it may be the video.

The psychiatrist is a known actor too, I'm pretty sure.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

All part of the fun. Characters are definitely going to die. Those QTEs look pretty brutal on reaction. I feel a lot of coaching happening to people controlling a character that is chaperoning their character.
 
What they should do is have a designated party mode where different controllers can be assigned to different characters. Then you'll set the difficulty of the QTE's to match who's using which controller. This will ensure everyone will have fun without getting frustrated.
If this sounds like a good idea maybe someone should tweet it to the devs.

You have to play it 9 times to get the full story!!!=O

Love it. Even if this game is fun enough to play through 2-3 times, I'll be really happy. Too many games just don't encourage multiple play throughs in any meaningful way. Here's hoping.

Day 1.
 
I thought Elyse Willems' preview summary (the GT one) was pretty hysterical. My girlfriend has actively campaigned against me getting this mainly because she knows I'll want her to play with me and she has a super low tolerance for anything scary, but Elyse really playing up how much camp is in Until Dawn has made even her a believer now.

My favorite box quote from that preview:
"This game wants to know exactly what you are afraid of, so it can prey upon those fears and make you pee in your pants until you have no pee left. Or pants. Whichever comes first." -Elyse Willems

Being a fan of Heavy Rain, Life Is Strange and other story-driven multiple-choice games, I am pretty much interested.

I think this is a game for me. Hummm, let's see if my wallet will survive...

People that are fan of these games got alot to look forward to with Heavy Rain and Beyond 2 Souls HD as well.

Atleast I think those 2 are this year.

I'm kind of torn because while this game looks fun it also seems completely random. I watched through the playthrough from before and there doesn't seem to be any clue that doing any particular thing has any particular outcome.

Day One. I definitely platinumed HR to see every ending, I like my Cage-esque games with horror flair and stronger writing!
 
I've always seen it as a party game. The cheese will be great with some friends and a lot of booze.

If you need booze to enjoy a game –– let alone anything –– then that's not a good sign lol.
Regardless, i'm optimistic for this, it looks fun to experience and to watch others experience too.

The beauty of (some) oldschool adventure games!

I don't ever replay games to get different endings.

If the game opens up whole new paths for play, why not? If it's about the same until the last chapter for every choice but simply shows you a different ending, then yes, one would have much less incentives.

If the framerate stays like this its a no-buy for me. Hopefully they can fix it. Give us at least a stable 30fps without dips.
