I kind of liked the first one. This one has the same direct-to-DVD vibes. The graphics and animations are pretty meh, but like I said, it's not exactly a AAA title. I'll probably check out 2–3 of the endings on YouTube.

 

[yamaci17]

at least the women are hot
i'm in

 

[MrRibeye]

It was so funny in the comments people saying "don't push luke"

Looking forward to this, because I didn't enjoy the supernatural fantasy stuff they did in the other games, so Until Dawn going back to just human mental psychos doing mental psycho stuff is great, feels more grounded

 

[Germuso]

Not supermaseive is good

 

[Wass0o7]

I thought this was a GAAS cause of how shit all the characters look

 

[MudoSkills]

Did you finish Until Dawn?

 

[existensmaximum]

The only thing Until Dawn had going for it was great production values really, so the whole package made for an enjoyable, fun and cheesy game. This looks extremely dated and cheap though, embarrassing really.

 

[GymWolf]

Wtf is this graphic? it looks too...cartoony?

I'm already rooting for the killers

 

[MrRibeye]

Did you finish Until Dawn?

You know what, I've totally forgotten about those monsters in the mines and you saying that just brought that back to mind. Maybe I liked the killer reveal so much that it made me forget the rest

 

[ergem]

I enjoyed the first game with the wife. This is the only kind of game I could get her into.

 

[Cumulus]

I don`t know, this looks....cheap? But not in a good way like the first game.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

I'm already rooting for the killers

I want to believe this is intentional.

 

[Moondoggy]

For all the work they did to try and hype people up for Wolverine and God of War, when they revealed "Until Dawn 2" at the end trailer was the only exclusive announcement that got an actual audible excited reaction from me, legitimately the only exclusive that they announced that made me wish it was on PC.

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

Dacre!



Dacre is from Stranger Things, if you didn't recognise him.

That's actually good

 

[dgproject]

So this is the Firesprite horror game. I enjoyed the original, but this one just looks... unimpressive.
This is Sony games from first party studio, I thought graphically it will be at least on detroit become human level; and yet we still got the uncanny valley characters.

Oh well, hopefully the story is as interesting as the first one. I kinda wish they can implement better butterfly effect system, the first one feels kinda slow and you can't undo the answer.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I need another classic like this

 

[NastyPasty]

I get what people are saying about the graphics - probably have higher expectations from Sony first party. On the other hand, I get a similar vibe with the new Bond game (only a couple of hours in) and it's not a distraction - obvs the game has to be good.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Not a fan of how things look which could just be keeping things under a more sustainable budget which if true is fine. The setting doesn't do much for me for what they've shown. An island? Not the vibes I personally want. Still hope the best for them with it.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Loved Until Dawn (PS4) and The Quarry was about 80% of the way toward UD greatness. Hopefully Firesprite can beat Supermassive who beat Quantic Dream at their own game.

The lack of gentle breeze/vegetation animation makes the lush environments look a bit dead in this Until Dawn 2 trailer. Character models look superb in closeup, a lack of resolution and probably UE5+TAAU (captured on base PS5) causes some lack of definition at longer distances, especially in hair, eye lashes and disoccluded areas.

Impressive gore effects and a nice mixture of attractive/quirky characters. Even the square-jawed lady is

 

[Shin-Ra]

Haven't found any official screenshots so I might capture some from the trailer later. If anyone's got access to a higher quality video than YouTube's, please share!

 

[TGO]

This looks like a downgrade from the Remake, this looks more in line with the Dark Pictures in terms of Graphics.
And where's Sam? What was the point of the new post-credits?

 

[bitbydeath]

I suspect the graphics will improve a lot over the next year. Firesprite has a lot of devs from Evolution who took the same approach. Even their demos were a huge step down from their final product.

Me too. Soon as that trailer started I immediately wanted all these pricks dead, lmfao.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Why is it the women in this and in First light all look like actual women and Sony's other studios they don't.
I am glad they are making real looking people in this game as the first game was good. Will play this.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Straight outta PS3.

God damn that was ugly. Could be cool though.

What's ugly about it? Looks alright, you guys are obsessed with graphics. Honestly looks better than gow lauffey.

 

[mckmas8808]

Now we talking.

We back!!!! I'm glad that terrible Remake can get the F outta here!

 

[squallbr]

UD on PS4 looks better

 

[squidilix]

It would be hilarious if the game were more successful than The Quarry or any of Supermassive Games' Dark Pictures titles, after using Sony's money to develop the Until Dawn 2 prototype and then selling it to Namco Bandai or 2K (I can't remember which). It would be a nice karma.

 

[Gamer79]

Will get this on pc.

 

[RafterXL]

Until Dawn was great, everything since has been mediocre at best. This doesn't even feel like UD, and it certainly doesn't look as good as that game did back then. Feels like a cynical attempt to make their latest Dark Pictures sell more by using the UD name.

 

[Shin-Ra]

All Official PlayStation YouTube AV1 captures. The game also has a strong motion blur so capturing clear stills isn't so easy.

 

[Shin-Ra]

 

[Shakka43]

I'm shocked that we're still pretending the original game was good.

Not just good, very good.

 

[Shin-Ra]

High res PNG logo from Firesprite's website. Still no high quality screenshots.

 

[Moondoggy]

I will say, maybe it's just the nostalgia goggles talking, but it's been over 10 years since Until Dawn and looking at these screenshots, the character models only really look a minor amount better

 

[Kupfer]

Everyone looks so punchable and I like it!

 

[StueyDuck]

How the fuck does this get a sequel but days gone not?

Woke/DEI journalists banded together to destroy any chance of that

And sadly it was during the period where online retard opinions held literal weight on company decisions.

If it came out this year or last a 2 would absolutely have been greenlit because it sold fairly well

 

[Shin-Ra]

I will say, maybe it's just the nostalgia goggles talking, but it's been over 10 years since Until Dawn and looking at these screenshots, the character models only really look a minor amount better

Aside from hair physics, (rarely) loose clothing, weapon straps and squishy flesh (lips especially) like Naughty Dog introduced in Uncharted 4 there hasn't been a lot of advancement in the last decade. Even at the studios that expect to sell 5 or 10M copies.

The concave ankle indent on the dude in this shot stood out to me as impressive as muscle and tendon deformation's still pretty rare (Spider-Man, Kratos etc)

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Please be cringe worthy like the original.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Great definition on the front and backs of knees too!

Don't google knees with faces.

 

[midnightAI]

I'll give it a go, loved the first game, was a great time with the family shouting which option to choose

 

[Shin-Ra]

For an extreme closeup like this I think the eye lash geometry should be smoother. There's an obvious sharp kink in the lower lashes.

 

[LastBattle]

Shocked with how bad this looks visually compared to a game that released 10+ years ago. The character models are beyond derpy.
