Possible spolier

I think it's due to the mid game reveal(or whatever chapter Revelations was). I kind of expected that due to some of the collectibles found, but thought it would be the end game reveal, but there would be something unexpected that the mid game reveal antagonist didn't expect.

I agree mostly on the voice acting. I never really felt they stopped caring, just that the story itself did kind of drop off after the mid game to become a standard campy teen horror movie. This is likely due to what the antagonist was at this point. The mystery was there, but it wasn't terribly compelling, and given that it was supernatural in nature, it just takes the whole psychological factor out of it, which is usually what makes a good suspense/horror movie. There's just something scarier about a meticulously crafted villain over an all hating entity.

I felt Sam, Ashley, and Josh's actors did a great job acting throughout, especially Josh. I've decided to check out that TV show he's in that was advertised a lot. The fact that Matt, Jessica, and Emily really didn't have much of a part was rather disappointing since the whole premise of the game was to care enough about the characters to make choices that would determine if they live or die. Chris I couldn't really say what I thought of him. Decent enough at acting, but somehow, he just didn't sell the character.

Absolutely and DF are spot on IMO 'putting visuals above frame-rate makes sense for a horror title in this style, and though a rock-solid 30fps is on our wishlist, at least its ambition in character-building and set detail isn't compromised.'
You are immersed in the story and tension because of the atmosphere and graphics.
I didnt actually care about 'performance' as I was playing as it didnt get in the way of a great experience.

Maybe because it didn't really matter in the big picture for this type of game. They should have capped it at 30 though instead of having it jump up to like 45 randomly.

Maybe experience it yourself before passing judgement........

You have heard lots of spins, seems you also throw out some spins yourself. Sure the video above shows the frame rate moving from20s to 40s, indisputable but......

As the person above said, it's not as noticeable nor does it matter with this game, something you would know if you had played it.

You can watch a DF video and pass judgement with very little credentials or you can play the game, make your own opinion and have a little more credibility.

I suggest the latter next time.

You could at least read the damn article instead of trolling.

"Indeed, Until Dawn's performance shows its visuals don't come for free, though it's not intrusive enough to harm its playability."

That's how. You don't even need a PS4- which we all know you don't have- to find out that the framerate drops didn't hurt the game.

'I don't care either way'.....

But I'll comment because I DO care. Simple.

I think in this case, one can not care about the frame rate issues, because despite what the numbers show, it's not as apparent as some people want to make it seem it would be.

The game just isn't set up that a sudden dip in frame rate would matter, which greatly minimizes the instances where people even notice it. If you go from a 60 to 20 fps in a scene which is rather static with out fast animation, you just aren't going to see it...unless of course you have test equipment.

Most of my job revolves around optimizing frame rates. It's in my job description even. Only once playing this game did I even notice it, and I spends hours every day watching for frame rate drops running test code.

What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't ruin the experience. There are some other visual aspects which are rather jarring that are much more prevalent than frame rates, but even they don't ruin the experience, although they do stand out more due to how good this game is and how quickly these visual changes could happen.

as usual, it's a rigged video to downplay the Playstation brand

IMO, they were probably there. However, if you're not looking for it, you probably won't notice it in this game. IF you're going in, with a nice meter to show you when it happens, then you're suddenly looking for it and it's obvious.

I've only seen a few people I know played it say it was noticeable, and it was typically in the scenes that were more action, and even they state it's not that obvious or even jarring as it could be in a game like a FPS/TPS or other action game.

Because every developer is different and this studio is new to PS4 hardware.

Check out Supermassive's history in making games and you'll see why they may have had issues with the performance of their game. If you go from low-budget indie games to AAA graphical powerhouses, there's going to be some steep learning curves involved, and it's not like they wrote the engine they used.

Same here.

It was included in the classics announced at the state of play but didn't have dates and just said coming soon. RE2 and 3 last month. Tekken 3 this month. And soul calibur 3 was also announced...so you might have another 2 month wait for tomb raider.
