Until Dawn 2 - Announce Trailer

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.
 
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

Did you finish Until Dawn?

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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 😲
 
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!
 
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?
 
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.

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.
 
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.
