How Scary is Until Dawn?

IGN: We locked 11 people from IGN in a room and had them play Until Dawn to answer the question. What did we discover? See for yourself.

Wow, I didn't know they got a few notable actors to play the characters in this game including Hayden Panatierre. Hmmmm, I'm really interested in this game now since I see they put a lot of effort into the cast.

I think this is the perfect game to play with lights off and with headphones. I am glad this game is getting some spot light

I don't think any game can scare me like P.T. did for a while... But this still might be a pretty great game, but not sure is it scary. I will have to play it and see :).

typical Hollywood horror movie styled game, it doesn't scare your soul, just your mind for a short of time. It's not as nearly scary as Silent Hills PT.

IGN always does this with these type of games and it always comes off as really disingenuous and I'd bet most of it's acting. Nice try though. I'd purchase day one if it wasn't a fully priced game but I'll get it in a couple of months pre-owened because £43 is too much for a QTE game for me

@stallion walking dead by telltale is 90% QTE and yet it won game of year and had allot of replay value because of the choices so please sit the hell down :/
Who the hell are you to people not to be interested in a game I enjoy these genres of games bruh I know that might blow your small mind.

@GTgamer

Walking Dead cost 20-30 dollars. Walking Dead's success came from it's well written story and established franchise success. Walking Dead has been criticized for it's "Illusion of choice," which basically kills replayability. No matter what you did, you got the same ending.

I might even buy this game if it wasn't 60 dollars. But these type of games have become a quick, cheap, and profitable way to have an amateur developer (see supermassive, see Telltale) make a quick buck off of ideas rather than game design. It was cool at first (for 30 dollars), but supporting a game like this with a 60 dollar price tag is just hurting innovation.

You're only meant to share opinions on games you want to play otherwise it is considered as trolling as all you will spout is negative nonsense. FYI

Doesn't make it ok, set the example for others to follow. Most are likely trolling because they are aggravated from others also trolling. Break the wheel.

Just clarifying that the game does not have 9 endings, but actually hundreds, as stated by the dev since last year. We have 8 characters, all of which can die or survive. The possible combinations alone already secure a larger number of endings than 9.

Just rent it if you don't want to buy it full price go to Redbox or Family Video if there's one of those near you.

See, I don't understand what QTEs has to do with the worth of a game. Even without your well-documented history, that alone would be enough to question the honesty of your comment. But couple that... odd... remark with your less than subtle distaste for Sony-related ANYTHING, and, well...

Because QTEs aren't fun. It isn't gameplay, a trained chimp can press a button when it's icon is flashed on the screen. They are even immersion breaking because you stop looking at the environment and just watch for that icon to pop up. I don't care what system they are on but QTEs suck. They are a lazy substitute for real AI and gameplay.

@LamerTamer:

Here's the argument to the contrary:

You know what the controller scheme for literally hundreds of FPS looks like? Aim, Shoot, Grenade, Switch Weapon, Reload, Jump, Run, Crouch/Slide, Melee, Zoom. Any time I see that, I'm immediately bored out of my mind because I know the next few hours are going to be just those actions; it feels restrictive and like I've done it a million times before.

Whereas the TellTale games, Life Is Strange, Quantic Dream games, and now Until Dawn are becoming so popular because their QTE and choice-based gameplay, or "lazy substitute" as you put it, allows for contextual choices that lead to a far more diverse array of actions than can be done with a static button layout.

Being a skeptic is one thing, and I highly encourage that...however you need to empathize here with the people who are skeptical of your assessment.

1. It comes off as "concern trolling" where you're feigning interest. This is perpetuated by your comment history. It's unfortunate, but people who do this are often in other articles calling others out for the same thing. I don't follow your comments to really know where you stand here; frankly, I don't care. I only know what I catch in articles I comment on.

2. It comes off as cynical to say that these people are likely acting and pointing out that you're not going to support the developers by buying it pre-owned. That's just douchey to add in there.

Hope that makes sense. Nothing wrong with an opinion, so long as it's genuine. Not saying you're not, but I'm an open minded person and I have a hard time believing you. Of course, you don't need to care what I think and I hope you don't. This post is purely to aid you in your introspection.

No, you don't have to praise this game, but you are bringing an element of negativity to people being scared which is a positive for this game's audience.

Nice. Bloodborne in particular is just amazing. Give The Order a try too. Flawed but still great game despite some bad press.

Oh man don't tell the guy to get The Odor. It is a terrible short QTE fest with no gameplay.

I would suggest a rental or if you can get it in the bargain bin for $10.00.

No gameplay would mean it played itself. That it was not a game.

It certainly did NOT do that.

Agreed. Get The Order, its pretty cheap now and a great once over.

Don't listen to junk press, I played it and its almost nothing like what many have claimed it to be. Its very much a game, short but worth the great story and crazy action scenes.

A series to look out for.

I'm a huge horror fan and I will tell you there are far more horror games on PC. Not to slight the Consoles. I own both the next gen.

I'm picking this up though. Day one. There is another horror slasher game coming out called Sumber Camp. To consoles and PC. Not sure when.

Much like the campy horror movies of the 80's, I don't think it will be psychologically scary, but there will be those jump scares...like the early Resident Evil games. I just enjoy the fact that they seem to be TRULY going for that campy horror feel. I'm sure the game will be rife with memes a plenty.
