Until Dawn: PS Move horror title announced

Until Dawn has been revealed as a new PS Move title at Sony’s pre-gamescom conference. It’s a horror game with seven main characters.

Developed by Supermassive Games, Until Dawn follows seven different characters in the story, and follows them as their relationships develop while under attack from a horrific evil. It’s basically molded after a teen horror movie and set in an isolated area where the power’s out and the phones don’t work.

Players will have to keep them alive – unsurprisingly – until dawn. A brief trailer showed characters screaming, being tortured, being pulled through doorways and more.

Those who dare to play through the scary-looking title will play through the multiple characters, “sometimes with a friend and sometimes on your own,” to discover who that’s offing your pals one by one.

How it all ends up is up to the player, so it’s possible a few characters won’t make it to the end.

The Move controller can act as a flashlight, and the controller can map actions in the real-world to those of your character’s hand in the game world.

Until Dawn is out next year on PS3 and Move.

I thought Alan Wake was an xbox exclusive.

Nah man, Xbox and Windows. Also, this isn’t Alan Wake, it’s a different game called Until Dawn – thought that would’ve been obvious from the title of the page etc.

Another blatant shameless rip-off from Sony? How unexpected.

Yeah, darkness and torches, those are exclusive to Alan Wake and nobody has used them before and may not use them henceforth, because Alan Wake was such a great game…

Looks interesting anyway. Hopefully they won’t telegraph every enemy appearance like Alan Wake did, completely eliminating any sort of suspense they might otherwise have achieved.

Doesnt look too bad, but buying move now is just a waste of money unless sony comes out and say it will be fully compatible with ps4, which still would suck since they should be on version 2 by then. Current move kinda blows.

@6,
I am almost sure that is the case just like wii controllers on wiiu.
The game looks good.
But it would be better if you can do “things” with the lass just like the movies using move motion controller.
Best use of move yet :P

@8, It got left behind in some previous generation of gaming when everything was “better” and “original”.
