I really hope it's a return to form for Supermassive. Until Dawn far exceeded my expectations and many others and is still one of my favourite games of this generation. Since then they've been patchy at best and lacklustre at worst with a bunch of games with bad usability and execution; they very much leaned to the scattershot approach. Their strength is clearly in plot-focused and player choice driven content and it would be nice to see them headed there again. In fact their two Until Dawn 'banner' games (Until Dawn and Rush of Blood) still remain their standouts. There is clearly a lot of talent at that studio and I just wish there was better quality control within the studio.

Hopefully this's a large project with the entire studio behind it instead of the small projects they have been doing lately.

So at the Gamescom opening ceremony Bandai Namco will announce a new game from a European developer. My guess is this is that game.

Same here. And I can't fucking believe that we still did not get an Until Dawn sequel. Yes, I know there are those VR games (bought them and played them) but I mean a full fledged sequel. Just like Until Dawn 1 but... you know, another part.
Until Dawn is one of my favourite games of this gen and one of the best horror games ever. Jesus Sony, let's go and just greenlight it already.

Sorry to get sidetracked a bit, but I always keep mixing up Supermassive Games with Supergiant Games. It's really difficult for me to remember lol.

Anyway, on topic: I hope this game does well. I hadn't heard very good things about any of the other games they released, so hopefully this one ends up better

From interviews it sounded like they didn't want to make Until Dawn 2. Rather, they sounded like they wanted their next big game to be multiplat. I wouldn't be surprised if that game is pretty much a spiritual sequel to Until Dawn, just with a different name and multiplat.

Wow, I'm surprised at how many people love Until Dawn. I played it and didn't find it to be anything special, I think The Wolf Among Us is probably the standout in the genre.

Supermassive are up there with Dontnod for me.

I'll follow/buy/play anything they put out. Hope this is up to their Until Dawn quality.

Until Dawn is phenomenal, at least the first half of it. It exceeded my expectations. Distinct personalities, great actors, amazing graphics, and a good story that wraps up neatly without any holes (as far as I'm aware). The game also highlighted how Supermassive games outdid the efforts of studios like Telltale games and Quantic Dream with their story focused titles, imo (although I haven't played Detroit yet, for what it's worth).

They've made a lot of bad games since Until Dawn, hopefully they're back to form with this.

Until Dawn remains of the most memorable and pleasant gaming experience I had this gen.

I'm really interested to see if this is going to be a highly political game as the name and logo implies.


If it is I wonder how those no politics in my games types will react.

Why on Earth are you taking what I said so seriously? Did the 'lol' not make it clear enough that the comment was lighthearted in nature? I'm not questioning a thing.

I'll give you the same comment - relax fam lol.

I was super excited to see this thread. I loved Transistor and Pyre. Then I realised how similar some dev team names sound.

Detroit massively outdid Until Dawn for me. Mileage may vary of course, but in terms of branching it isnt't really much of an argument. It will be VERY hard for any AAA story based title to match or beat the branching found in Detroit

I did purchase Detroit recently, but reading your comment has elevated my curiosity. I'm looking forward to playing it soon.

Kinda feels like they tried the multi-plat waters after UD but had difficulty finding funding for a game with UD level production values. Which wouldn't surprise me given that there aren't many/any 3rd party publishers that I can think of that would be interested in that type of game.

The VR and other stuff they've done since then just feel like scrambling to pay the bills.

Still holding out hope that they've since made an agreement with Sony for another full-fledged game in the style of UD.

So what you're saying is that you wouldn't mind the Dino Crisis reboot being in the vein of Until Dawn? :thinking:

I wasn't seriously questioning and making fun of Jon bones, I like Until Dawn too and thought it was a fun and unique 'teen horror' experience. I've just never seen anyone say it's the best PS4 game before lol

Is there a reason why there isn't an Until Dawn 2 or Rush of Blood 2? Both seem very popular, sold well and are great.

I find this weird, isn't it the publisher's duty to trademark things not the developer?

Until Dawn had a bit of a troubled production and didn't sell that great. Sleeper hit levels of good, but not outstanding. Detroit is doing much better and we don't know if Sony will even do another game with Quantic Dream either. We will have to see

He stated an opinion as if it was unquestionable gospel. Those comments always spark the same discussions, which is stupid: it was clear what he meant, and yet, he could have added a simple "imo" and avoid any subsequent conversation.
