Rebuilt?

Fuck yeah!

 

[SRTtoZ]

OMG OMG OMG OMG

Love this game. As soon as I heard Peter Stormare I was like, oh this is gonna be another Until Dawn type of game but I never heard of the studio but then it all finally clicked when I saw the characters lol. I beat it again like a few months back and its in desperate need of a 'remaster' so yea this makes sense.

Day 1.

 

[TGO]

I couldn't see any differences.
Let's be honest they ran out of games to port to PC and this popped up
Still I'm gonna get it

 

[xVodevil]

Good, good stuff Sony, we're getting there eventually!

 

[jshackles]

I love this game

Will re-buy on PC

 

[WoJ]

I loved until dawn but have zero interest in rebuying. I can play my PS4 version just fine.

 

[Portugeezer]

They must be trolling by porting this but not Bloodborne.

Is there going to be an Until Dawn movie or something?

Yes, announced two weeks ago

It's a horror reteaming of the director and writer who scared audiences with 'Annabelle: Creation.'

[Mr Hyde]

Already platinumed it on PS4 but I'm down for another playthrough if Sony gets it on GoG.

 

[Gambit2483]

"Rebuilt" for PS5. Would have been nice if they explained exactly what was "rebuilt".

 

[Sacred]

Glad to see on PC, but there is no huge graphical jump to warrant a remaster.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Looked about the same to me…

Great game though for those interested. I’d like to try some of the more unique runs

 

[SmokedMeat]

Outside of The Quarry this is the game I wanted from Supermassive.

 

[Thief1987]

So this new studio, formed by the former Supermassive developers, making remaster of the game they made at the old place? Ok

 

[Fabieter]

I already finished it like a dozen times. Don't think I could manage another playthrough.

 

[jshackles]

Hopefully with the next-gen "rebuild" (whatever that means) and PC release, it gives them the tools they need to make a sequel finally.

 

[KormaChameleon]

Fuck yes, It's coming to PC!

 

[Trunim]

Rebuilt? I fear that this is another resolution and fps increase and nothing else.

Here you go:

Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, Until Dawn has seen enhancements across the board, all made with passion and care for the original from the team of horror lovers, film fanatics, and veteran game makers at Ballistic Moon; and it’s coming to PS5 and PC this year!

Until Dawn has been rebuilt with the latest tools and techniques. New and improved animations build on the success of the original character performances. Characters, environments and VFX have been upgraded – all for a truly enhanced cinematic horror experience.

We use a broader cinematic tonal colour palette and new perspectives to make the story more nuanced and emotional. We’ve been brave enough to shine a light into the dark, unseen corners of Blackwood Mountain and added a third-person camera, which means you can now look behind the curtain of the original game, exploring enhanced and new locations with new interactions and collectables.

Incorporating a third-person camera and adding contextual character movement animations, the game now allows the player to really feel the experience of that fateful night.

Until Dawn’s sound has undergone a massive overhaul too, featuring a new score from legendary horror composer Mark Korven.

We’ve endeavoured to keep the fantastic narrative integratory of the original, but we have seized the opportunity to expand upon unexplored emotional parts of the story.

Look out for more news on this enhanced version of Until Dawn coming later this year.

New locations you say? Hmmm might be worth a look after all

 

[Fabieter]

Its not as good as until dawn but I think its close.

 

[The Cockatrice]

The only good game in its genre. Wont double dip tho.

Haven’t finished the quarry. Itvworth completing?

Its a piece of turd but horror fans have little to enjoy so might as well give it a try if u want.

 

[Rockman33]

I’ll re buy this game when it goes on sale. Really liked it the first time through.

 

[Reaseru]

We are back to the time when videogames were used to promote movies. SIE is no longer focused into making videogames.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Until Dawn was awesome, Supermassive have never surpassed this game imo. I wonder if there will be any chance for an upgrade path for existing PS4 owners?

 

[fart town usa]

Very cool. Until Dawn is a masterpiece. One of those games that is so good, the rest of the developers output seems meh in comparison, though I enjoyed what I played of The Quarry.

 

[R3TRO]

In my veins.

 

[NomenNescio]

 

[adamsapple]

No upgrade path to this one, then?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Hmm... so I guess this will be full price even if you own the PS4 version? I'll get the physical if it's priced well.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Um, why not?

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Damn, I remember this game looking so good back in the day and while watching the trailer I didn't even noticed that much of a difference (maybe because of the steam quality) but looking back at how the PS4 version looks the improvement it's very noticeable, and it seems like they even changed camera angles and stuff like that.

I believe they remaking whatever Sony Pictures has a interest in picking up as a movie or show. Until Dawn can easily work as a movie like…

I doubt it. I believe it was part of the PS+ collection.

PlayStation Productions will inherently work with Sony Pictures, but they'll work with others too.

It obviously has more potential than what was seen on PS4.

 

[Raonak]

I hope this means sony is greenlighting a Unitl Dawn 2

 

[RJMacready73]

Really enjoyed this on the PS4 but man, this looks really similar visually

Yeah, it's clear that this isn't a remster and got the rebuild treatment! Makes it so much better!

Sony Pictures is greenlighting all these projects first before they are workshopped to third party distributers.

Siren: Blood Curse vibes with this one.

Easily the best PlayStation exclusive to make it to PC. Hopefully there is an upgrade path.

I would have loved a sequel but holy hell this looks good. One of the best games of the last gen.

I don't think you're remembering just how dated the original looks nowadays.

There's still Bloodborne.
