From Supermassive games, the developers of Until Dawn. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan
Release August 30th
My copy turned up a day early so I've managed to have a very quick go this evening. There was a day one patch of about 3 gig.
My early impressions are that it's very similar to Until Dawn, which for me is a very positive thing as I really loved that game. The titles had a connection to Until Dawn that I liked.
I've not come across them yet but 'totems' are back in the form of 'pictures', to give clues on future events and how to proceed.
There's also a character who talks to you directly between scenes, similar to the psychiatrist in Until Dawn, sadly not portrayed by the brilliant Peter Stormare this time. I was happy however to see that Larry Fessenden is involved again as a writer, not sure if he's also plays a character yet.
In the very short time I played, there seemed to be a lot more choices available to make. Character trates are back but I don't know if they will have more baring on the gameplay this time.
Because this one is multi-platform we seem to have lost the 'do not move' with the light bar indicator. It has been replaced with a heart beat mechanic where you press X in time to a heart beat graph. I much prefered Until Dawns way of doing it. The touch pad was also unused in the brief time I played.
I'm happy with what I played so far and I'm looking forward to putting more time into it.
