Part One was posted two weeks ago and Part Two was posted a week ago and I only now learned about both! I have to step up my google searches! In fact, I almost didn’t realized there was a Part Two!
Another great developer interviews with Art Director Robert Craig, Audio Designer Hywel Payne, and Animation Director Jamie Galipeau.
A lot of time is being put into making sure the water sounds like water and the boat feels like being on a boat.
The biggest take away is that I haven’t missed a dev diary episode AND THE GAME COMES OUT IN SUMMER 2019!!!
I knew it wasn’t going to be December 2019 but I can’t wait to spend time with the game, probably in July or August, right?
Amazon still has it listed for December 31, 2019 but that makes sense.
Thanks to PlayStation Access for hosting their own video!
I saw the beginning of this seven months ago but I wasn’t addicted to their channel then so I was pretty dismissive. Now I’m all about Rob and Hollie and their is a lot of content in this video to enjoy.
I really like the design of the compass decision making interface, that looks really cool.
I wonder if the plan is to still release two games a year? I know the game isn’t supposed to be Until Dawn’s ten hours, it will be more like five hours, and $30 isn’t that bad for what I’m hoping is a lot of content and plenty of replays.
I can see them releasing one game this year and then maybe two next year, once they know what the demand is for the Dark Picture Anthology. I’ll be buying all four games, that part, I’m sure about. Especially if they stay at the $30 range.
I should look into what actually is required to upload game footage as that would be very fun to make a Let’s Play video of my first playthrough.
It does feels like it is only me talking about this game and WhatCulture Gaming
Who ranks the game on their list of 10 2019 Games that will Change Everything!
I still say Man of Medan is my most anticipated game of 2019. Still surprises me that no one has made a subreddit for the game. Maybe once there is an official release date.
Turns out, someone has made a subreddit for the game!
I was about to do it myself but now I don’t have too. Though there was only two posts in there and I’m trying not to flood it with videos but the first post was from three months ago with one comment and another was from a month ago with zero comments so I’m trying to bring some life to it.
. . .
Well, I finally did it! I completed my Ultimate New Game Plus run of Spider-Man PS4! I thought the Doctor Octopus fight was going to be hard but I kept dodging and web attacking and he went down in a quarter of the time it took me to do the first time. The first time, I just kept trying to throw things at him and kept my distance. This time, I stayed close and kept webbing his arms and launching myself at him.
I was going to share the image getting five 100% of the game but I didn’t get all five lines to show up on the same screen. The Main Game / New Game + / CTNS : The Heist / CTNS : Turf Wars / CTNS : Silver Lining.
I figured out how to take a picture of the PS App on my phone. If you want to know how to take a screenshot of your Android phone, press the power button and the volume down button at the same time. Pretty handy!
. . .
I’ve started the second episode of Batman : The Enemy Within. I’m going to have Wayne tell ties and Batman be honest, if those options pop up this time around. Batman fought Bane, and I had the option to call either Gordon or Waller. I choose Waller as it was my first chance to try to make her happy and she said if I played ball, she will put Gordon back in charge once this is all over. He’ll be upset but he’ll understand the situation.
. . .
Still no word on when Lego Movie 2’s DLC is supposed to come. We were playing some of it last night and it is still a pretty fun game. We even played Lego Dimensions for a bit. I still really want to get the Fantastic Beasts pack, it is affordable and it would be a lot of fun. Plus, we have Green Arrow and Flash’s STAR Labs is a secret location and that’ll be fun to explore that area.
$27 isn’t bad for a new (and our final) gateway and six proper story missions and three additional trophies. One of these days, we will own it.
. . .
I just bought this cute German Shepard using BrickLink. I went with seller, dmahon1983 through his site, Freedom Brick
It took some searching before I could find someone who will sell it to me for five dollars. Some places wanted five dollars just to ship it and i couldn’t justify that.
I bought it as I’m going to use it as Dogmeat from Fallout 4, and I’m crazy into German Shepards, because of Dogmeat. I was at Walmart and couldn’t find any sets that even had dogs so I had to look online. People highly recommend BrickLink and I totally see why now. Such a handy website!
I originally got the idea after reading this subreddit
My Twitter app did right and told me three separate times that the above Dev Diary had been released. I accounts I’m following are : @SuperMGames, @TheDarkPictures, and @PlayStation. Which I didn’t mind at all getting these notification blasts.
The video is Part One of Designing the Ghost Ship and I really enjoyed the interviews. The video is barely two minutes and twenty five seconds. Production Designer Lee Robinson, Audio Director Barney Pratt, and Art Director Robert Craig were interviewed. I’m very eager to see what Part Two looks like.
I’m already committed that when I buy my wife’s Amazon Christmas presents, I’m throwing in my preorder to the game. I’ll try to caution myself to not get too deep in the weeds but I’m sure they won’t spoil anything in these interviews and teases.

PlayStation announced the free games for December 2018 –
Arcade_Master22 made a great thread for it over at the PS4 subreddit:
I hadn’t heard of any of these prior to the announcement but they sound like pretty fun games.
SOMA is a horror game that I’m pretty excited about. OnRush came out in June of this year and looks like a racing game that you try to damage the other cars more than try to come into first place, so Walker Dennis should be a big fan of that game. Iconoclasts is a crossbuy Vita game that can be played on the PS4, it looks like a fun medieval platformer.
I’ve been told Papers, Please is super fun on the Vita and now I regret not making a point of going to the online store and making sure I downloaded all of the pure Vita and PS3 games, I have three months left before the PSN Plus no longer offers PS3 and Vita games to correct that. I’ve heard great things about the visual novel, SteinsGate, so I’ll download that and while I’m there, I’ll get Steredenn too.
Nice when I copy and pasted his list of the games, it copied over the links, that’s pretty handy for my purposes.
I’m starting to try to start speculation about what PlayStation is going to do about the lack of six free games come March 2019. I think what they should do is offer four PS4 games, one from each year : 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. I’m sure, like OnRush, that there might be some games they can offer from 2018 but I figure they can definitely find gems that are popular but interest has started to wane. It’ll be nice if they could throw in a free VR game every four months, but I’m not sure if there are enough of those to just toss about. I think it’ll be a truly wonderful idea if, whenever Man of Medan comes out, that month PlayStation offers Inpatient. They already made Until Dawn : Blood Rush a free game back in December 2017. Which is nice as whenever we buy a PlayStation VR, we would have all of these games already. Inpatient is the only Supermassive Game I don’t own but it is hard to justify buying a game for a system I don’t have.
Which is true for these Vita games but since I only downloaded the crossbuy ones, I’ve already played them. At least I only missed out on a years worth, I guess I could create a list of which ones I missed out on and if I ever get a Vita, I’ll know which games were the free ones.
According to this great website, here are the games I missed out on :
Wanted Corp (December 2017)
Furmins (May 2018)
Squares (June 2018)
Atomic Ninjas (June 2018)
Zero Escape : Zero Time Dilemma (September 2018)
Draw Slasher (August 2018)
Space Hulk (August 2018)
So only seven games, that isn’t too bad. PlayStation was wise enough to offer several cross buy games and then I was dumb enough not to take the extra step to purchase them through the online store. It would be nice if the PS4 store would just offer me handy links to download all of the free PSN Plus games and not make me go through a different route to get the other games but it is only one additional step and the problem is fixing itself soon.
Wanted Corp is $11.99
Furmins is $6.49 right now and comes with a bonus world.
Squares is $4.99
Atomic Ninjas is $9.99
Zero Escape : Zero Time Dilemma is $39.99 and that’s heart breaking!
Draw Slasher is $5.99 and I see there is a Bundle for $5.99 but I can’t tell if the Bundle includes game and whatever else or just added content. The website could be a tad more informative.
Space Hulk is typically $19.99 but there is a 40% off right now and is only $11.99.
So over all, I’m an idiot to the tune of one hundred dollars! That Zero Escape game being a full price game upsets me. That’s why you always add everything to your library. You don’t need to download everything, just add it to your library and you can download it whenever you like, as long as your membership is active. If it goes inactive, you are just blocked from the games until your membership is renewed and then you pick right up again with your progress. Also, membership stacks, so if you buy a 12 month membership and then see a three month membership discounted, those three months just tack on to your 12 months. Which might be obvious but I didn’t know any of this up to like six months ago.
People complain about the quality of games that are given away but just Vita games alone in 2018, half of the ones that were given away for free, are a hundred dollar value right there and we only pay $60. Well, during Black Friday, there was a deal for $40 and that was incredible! Some people bought two and I hope we can be that lucky going forward. Just never worry about it.
Which is why I’m trying to speculate on what they are going to do come March when the six free games (two for each system, PS4, PS3, and the Vita) go down to two guarantee games. To justify the $60 membership, I think they should offer two older games (2014/2015) and two newish games (2016/2017/2018) as I’m sure asking for six PS4 games might be asking too much but four seems reasonable. I started with just three but then I remember 2014 was almost five years ago so there has to be a slew of games that can be given away.
Membership to PSN Plus also gets you the ability to play multiplayer and access to 10 GB worth of cloud storage space. I use it for the free games and the cloud storage space. I’ll restate, by March, I felt like I had gotten my $60 worth.
If you are interested in a nice summary of the games, here are two great videos!
Thanks to PlayStationGernade for hosting his video.
I really like how he discusses the reviews and his own experience with the games, if he has any. Also a nice benefit is that he plays the trailers and game footage too.
Thanks to Platinum Chasers for hosting his video.
What I like about Platinum Chasers, and I only discovered his video for the November 2018 games, is that he strictly talks about the trophies. I now know SOMA doesn’t offer a platinum and has one missable story trophy. That’s good to know before launching into the game. Apparently it is one where you have to talk to someone and if you don’t follow the blue lights to green lights to blue lights once you are outside again (I hope it makes sense within the game). I usually like to wait until I earned my first trophy in the game, and then I will go check the trophy list on the PS4. I look at the top one, the two surrounding the first one I earned, and the last one and I try to memorize those ones. Then usually at some point later that night or in the morning, I’ll check to see if there are any missable ones.
I don’t usually care about if a game has one or not, it is disappointing but turns out, I have several games that don’t offer a platinum. I’m not even that crazy about getting the platinum or all of the trophies, some games, I just know I’m not going to be able to get several of the trophies and that relieves some stress.
OnRush has some multiplayer trophies so that’s nice to know ahead of time.
Iconoclasts has a trophy that is pretty grindy, so that’s good to know ahead of time.
. . .
I’m at Chapter 17 of Uncharted 3 and I keep thinking of Golden Abyss, the Uncharted game that is for the Vita. I looked on Amazon and that game is still $70 and it came out in 2012.
Worst, it is $78!
I’m not even sure if it comes with a Vita or not. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t but there is a Batman : Arkham Origins : Black Gate that is only $25 and that game came out in 2013. I imagine that boils down to one game being amazing and the other game being Batman Arkham Origins Black Gate. he he he
So if I ever get a Vita, I want to be able to purchase Golden Abyss too.
$210 makes me hesitate, naturally, but maybe a pawn shop would have it for $100 or something. Way too much for me to spend on myself and also too much to ask for it as a present.
PlayStation VR, with two games, is still $300 but you can get it for $275 right now. I’m told it isn’t good for five year olds to use it, much less, it probably wouldn’t fit on his head, so I’m probably a year away from legit being able to buy it. I just know that Walker Dennis is going to want to play with it and it isn’t fair to have it if he can’t just play around with it. Plus, it is three hundred dollars! It is still new technology so that makes sense. People who own it love it though. I wished GameStop could offer a demo of it but someone would probably steal it or break it.
. . .
We had gotten Walker Dennis the Nya from Ninjago set for Lego Dimensions
But the box came in pretty rough shape so we just gave it to him. We don’t have any connection to Ninjago, we tried the first episode of the series on Netflix and it seemed fine enough. I believe he is getting the Lego Ninjago movie for either his birthday or Christmas, so that should be nice and then we’ll have all three Lego movies too.
Thanks to Glenn Builds Bricks for hosting the in game video of how to build the Samurai Mech. We like to build it prior to putting it on the gateway so that Walker can play with it when he isn’t playing the game and I don’t have the pressure of trying to build it while the game is active and he wants to be in the World.
Thanks legogamesguy for writing a nice FAQ of all of the gold bricks.
We are missing two water ones, one needs a Chima person, which Walker is getting, I forget if it is the eagle or the lion. I’m pretty sure it isn’t the crocodile guy but it is probably the crocodile guy. The other water one requires someone to be able to laser gold items underwater, and he isn’t getting the Cyberman so we’re probably not going to be able to get all of the gold bricks. The third gold brick we couldn’t get requires us to get all of the minikits from the Ninjago level of the main game, Elements of Surprise, the third level. We are only missing one minikit and it is in the beginning of the level. We need Chell from Portal 2 which he is getting so that’ll be nice that we’ll be so close to getting all of the gold bricks.
See the Portal wall on the bottom left corner? That’s where Chell will open a portal and then open a second portal under the middle snake head. You can barely make out the minikit behind the bars in the photo. Once we have that minikit, we will quit and save the game, and go back to Ninjago World and activate the mini game there. Is how I imagine it will play itself out.
Because of this discovery, I finally figured out which gold brick we are missing from the DC World, as there is a gold brick behind completing all ten minikits in the DC World level, Paint the Town Black, that we’re missing a couple minikits in. It is a work in progress.
We essentially completed the Ninjago world in two play sessions, which was faster than I thought we were going to do it but we’ve been starved for new content in the game.
I wished we were getting Wonder Woman in December as she has mind control abilities and that is one of the missing abilities we need in the DC World and a couple other locations. Sometimes the game would let us rent characters but not in either of those two situations.
. . .
Happy Tenth Anniversary to my love wife! We made it to ten years!
Thanks to PlayStation for hosting the trailer for this game.
Yesterday, I earned my 13th platinum!
This was a fun game, it has 12 different endings, spread out over three story branches. You get swallowed by a whale, from there, you can either put on barrels, don’t put on barrels, and wait it out with three ladies who were previously swallowed by the whale. Since the game presents it from left to right, that’s the order I went in.
It wasn’t a bad game, and I enjoyed it for the most part.
There is this one segment where you race against Death that I completely didn’t understand what I was doing so I kept holding down the R2 button and nothing was happening. Then I read that I was either supposed to click on one of the men or Death. By then, I was pretty tired and went to bed.
Then I played a few more times and got two or three playthroughs completed. I think that’s the best way to play this game, maybe do all four storylines of a branch and then come back the next day, or just remember you choose the right cave so next time, you will choose the left cave.
The game can become very repetitive, once you finish an ending, you will come across this sea monster who will tell you that you have finished an ending but she hopes to see you again. I was hoping when you finished the very last one, she would say a different line of dialogue but she just repeated the different ending line. That was disappointing.
You will see the sea monster either underwater or above water, pending how you finished an ending, then you will go to a coffee shop and the guy there will essentially say the same thing. But he will show you a bookcase of all of your endings as you progress through the game.
He will say you have completed the shelf, which was nice. I’m not sure why they wrote one character with a conclusion line but not the other.
I didn’t use a guide until the very end, to get my last two trophies.
I was missing Out of the Deepening Darkness and Nice Day.
There is a segment when you are stuck in a maelstrom that I made too much of a game out of, you are supposed to either widen (R2) it so the men go all the way down, or shorten (L2) it and have the men break free of the storm. I was going back and forth and essentially, kept it open so I ended up doing that playthrough twice as I didn’t realize which I one I did originally. If I had thought about it, I should have known I didn’t close the storm but I was just ready to get the Platinum at that point.
For the other trophy, there are two seals that turn the men into seals and they say as long as you stick together, you’ll make it to the surface but I didn’t keep them together so they just got carried up to the surface. It took some doing but I had them stick together and got them to the surface and got the platinum.
It is supposed to take two hours but I was using it mostly as a break from Arkham Knight.
. . .
Last update regarding Arkham Knight, as I’m done with the game. I attempted some additional AR Challenges but I’m not doing anymore of those, knowing I can’t get even 20 of them, kills my buzz. I’m pretty sure I barely got ten or 15.
I did beat the game on New Game Plus, and the fights were not all that bad, including the underground tank vs tank fight and I didn’t even have a harder time with Arkham Knight, I avoided his crew, got underneath him, grappled up and did those quick moments and then took out his goons then. Then repeat that twice more, so all for all, the only real problem I had was the 60 tanks outside of GCPD during the assault. After like 15 tries, I finally wussed out and stuck to the left side of GCPD (where that breakable wall is), and I would come out, attack, and hide out. A few tanks and drones came to me, which was nice but for the most part, I would take out five or six tanks, fire a slew of missiles, and let Barbara do her business. It was a frustrating matter prior to the final time I completed it. Same for the underground tank fight, that third round took forever! I was able to acknowledge that the long load time was for me to strategize and to calm down but I just wanted it to reload immediately. Same for the tank battle, just get me in there, I heard Batman and Oracle counting down from five so many times, it started becoming a tad maddening.
I only got two additional trophies
The Long Halloween, beat New Game Plus
Savage Metal, smash 10 militia transport vehicles off the road without using the immobilizer
I was hoping to get Savage Metal so it was nice to finally get it when I did, it was during one of the AR challenges. At first, I though Long Halloween was a bronze medal but I see now that it is a silver medal. I was expecting a gold medal so when it wasn’t gold, I didn’t note what type it was until typing this. Silver is better, as it does take a lot of time and skill to get through the story. Besides the tank battle, I wouldn’t even say the game was that much harder.
I could do the side missions but there is no real incentive to do it so I’m pretty much done with it.
. . .
I’ve started Roundabout, I’m not sure how many chapters there are but I’m on the third chapter, with the farm. It is a fun game thus far. You play a revolving limousine driver, Georgio Manos, who is a lady. Whenever you pick up passengers, you get a fun live action sequence. The story is fun and the driving mechanics take a minute to get used to them but there is no way I’m going to be able to get everything done in the game.
Especially as one of the trophies is unattainable right now but even if was an option, I probably wouldn’t be able to get it. It is the trophy you receive from completing everything, so of course, that would be the trophy that would be glitched.
The game only has 18 bronze trophies and one silver, so I don’t feel compelled to get everything.
I do want to just go down the list and just get those trophies as it seems pretty doable that way. I’m definitely going to finish the main story first, and then from there, I’ll start checking the list. I have to start pressing L3 for the horn as having to do it literally a thousand times doesn’t sound great and it isn’t like the horn does anything in-game. I’m in the habit now of dying, blasting my horn ten times, and trying again, as I’m not concern at all about the time limit, so I imagine I’ll get that trophy eventually.
There is a trophy where you have to drive for 8 hours without pausing, and I’m not doing that one either so the pressure is off from this game.
. . .
Once I’ve had my fun with Roundabout, I’ll go back to Uncharted 3 Normal play, I’m on the chapter with all of the boats and I need to figure out the proper route through them all.
I was thinking about playing a different game in-between my Normal and Hard mode playthroughs, and I thought Life is Strange would be a wonderful game to put some distance in-between the two games. But now that I’m typing that, I wonder if I shouldn’t waste the muscle memory and just go back to back playthroughs. My problem is that the way I’m planning on doing it, I have to play Uncharted 3 three times, Normal, Hard, and Crushing. Which I’m all for doing (so Crushing doesn’t, well you know, crush my desires), but that is a lot of time to spend with one game. A great game but still. I’m just thinking back on how Crushing was like in Uncharted 2 and having a Hard playthrough would get me even better at the game (I’m hoping), so Crushing will feel doable. I’m all about the self-motivation.
I’m using psnprofiles to check and that is how I did Uncharted 2, Normal (which gave me Easy), Hard, and Crushing. Apparently it only took me six days to beat the game on Hard.
Whenever I see that giant gap in my gaming timeline, I have to realize that was when Fallout 3 killed my PlayStation 3 with the Yellow Light of Death (YLOD). Which I’ve learned that Fallout 3 and New Vegas both killed many PS3s back in the day.
. . .
Proving that Supermassive Games has an awesome PR team, they released another trailer for Man of Medan!
Thanks again to PlayStation for hosting this video as well!
Also, thanks to WordPress for it keeps capitalizing the S for me.
Odd that PlayStation is hosting the video as the game is supposed to be on all systems but who knows, I’m a PlayStation guy so that works for me.
Such an amazing trailer and it gave me real Peter Stormare/Dr. Hill feels from Until Dawn. Which I’m sure is on purpose.
Of course, I didn’t know about the trailer until recently so I changed my Google account to notify me of all news pertaining to Man of Medan so I’ll be even more updated.
Which, also on my own, I found that we can preorder the game through Amazon!
But since it says December 31, 2019, I’m holding off in case my lovely wife wants to buy it for me for either a late Christmas gift or early Birthday present. I love that it is a thirty dollar game, as it is supposed to be half the length of Until Dawn, so a five hour game, and $60 seems a bit much for that. I was willing to spend $60 but $30 makes it even more doable.
I was tempted just to download the game straightly from PSN, but I’m still old fashion and I like to have my disc. I’ve read numerous times that it doesn’t change the download size, and the free games from the PSN has gotten me in the habit and appreciation of just scrolling over and starting a new game. That’s what happened with Arkham Knight, I beat the game, attempted some AR Challenges and didn’t want to make all the noise of ejecting the disc, opening Uncharted 3’s case and inserting that game into the PS4. I wouldn’t think it makes a lot of noise at noon but it is so much more quiet at 11:30pm, that it could wake someone up. So I just went back to Burly Men at Sea and committed to that game. I also learned how to spell “Burly” as I keep wanting to throw an e in there but that isn’t how you spell it.
Another game I have my eye on is Hellblade : Senua’s Sacrifice, which has been strictly a downloadable game, but might be coming to disc. Which I guess I’ve been waiting for a disc copy so then I can add it to my wife’s Amazon account so she can maybe buy it for me. A little harder to do without the hyperlink. I’m having that issue now with the $40 PSN membership (down from $60). She used the link but since it isn’t a physical card, she’s bummed that she’s going to have to print it and give it as a lame presentation of a gift. I told her not to worry about it but I get it too.
Heck, even Batman : Enemy Within, TellTale’s second Batman game (and most likely last), that disc only comes with the first episode and a code for the season pass, so buying the disc is essentially pointless as you are still downloading the rest of the episodes.
Yet, it is another game that I want and it is hard to put aside $30 for a game but these are nice goals to have.
I imagine Man of Medan is more of a placeholder date and it will come out earlier in the year, which is another reason why I don’t want to preorder it now, as I might not have the funds for it when it first comes out. Not like it will surprise me (I hope) but I rather not get ding for it either.
I have learned that Supermassive Games, the studio that brought us the incredible, Until Dawn, is working on a new series of games to be released next year. Their first game is Man of Medan under The Dark Pictures Anthology label.
Thanks to Supermassive Games hosting their own trailer.
That looks super intense! Also looks like Shawn Ashmore. I just checked his Wikipedia page and that totally is! He’s no stranger to video game likeness as he did Remedy Entertainment’s Quantum Break, the same studio that did Alan Wake. A game I tried my best to get into but I wasn’t good with my flashlight / gun abilities. Also, it was XBOX 360 exclusive and I barely played with that console.
Apparently, I’m like a month behind on this news but there isn’t an official Wikipedia page for the game yet either so I’m not the only one behind.
The imdb page only lists Ashmore as part of the cast.
When trying to find the link to the reddit page, I stumbled onto the Wikipedia page for Ourang Medan, the clear inspiration for the game.
I haven’t heard of that legend before, but I’m all in with it!
I like how it appears to be Until Dawn but in the ocean, I’m all for how different the two games are going to look.
I still need to get a copy of Hidden Agenda, Supermassive Games’ other game. I had my hands on it at GameStop but put it down, like a dman fool.
As soon as I can preorder this game, I’m going to do it! Also, I’m probably going to GameStop this weekend and getting me Hidden Agenda, I’m beyond hyped!
Here is the official announcement on their website :
Unlike Until Dawn’s eight playable characters, this game will have five. Which makes perfect sense as poor Emily and Matt were essentially just also-rans. Five makes it tighter. Also unlike Until Dawn, this will be available on PS4, XBOX, and PC.
All the games in Dark Picture will be horror centric, so that’s good to know that’s what the studio really likes to do. Hidden Agenda is a detective story, as far as I know.
Like Until Dawn, lots of branching storylines and choices will be made.
They made the announcement on August 21, so over a month ago.
I’ve started following Supermassive Games on twitter and on YouTube, so hopefully I’ll be more informed as we go forward.
Here is the official website for The Dark Pictures Anthology:
Thus far, Supermassive Games is committed to making four games in the Anthology. I suspected it’ll be more than three games, as they would have just called it a trilogy.
Once they game comes out, another one will come out every six months, which seems super tight for a deadline. I’m sure they have massive teams just working on each one. Each game takes place within the same universe, but most likely not interact as you should be able to play each game in any order.
So that’s going to get expensive but I’ll have to start saving now.
Each game will focus on a different sub-genre of horror. So we’ve gotten the cabin in the woods story, plus that was in winter time, Man of Medan appears to be a sudden ship / treasure hunting / possibly ghost related, in the summer time. Until Dawn was a PS4 exclusive, I wonder if they can release it wide now (it came out in 2015) and put that under the Dark Pictures umbrella.
Aaron Souppouris wrote the article and got to play 15 minutes of the demo (so lucky!) and gathered all of the information.
The game is supposed to be around five hours of gameplay, so half of Until Dawn’s length. Which makes sense as I was envisioning it being like TellTale’s Batman or Life is Strange, where those had five episodes, and I wonder if this series will have that same interface.
It uses a different engine than Until Dawn, but the games look similar enough that I’m sure there won’t be a dip in quality.
Hopefully, the game won’t be $60, I bought Until Dawn for $20 but I’m not sure how much it cost when it first game out, most likely $60 but I’m committed.
I’ll try to keep up on the story and let you know what I know so if you read something, please let me know!
Shadow and Flame with Magik
