When I stood and watched parts of a lengthy demo of the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive Until Dawn, I couldn’t help but think of the PSN game Datura. I pondered back on how amazing Datura looked, how fluid the experience seemed, how its purported mastery of the PlayStation Move would set adventure gaming and exploration forward. And I cringed as I remembered playing it for review, let down by an experience marred by its subpar controls and gameplay that didn’t nearly live up to its amazing ambiance and potential.
Will Until Dawn suffer the same fate? Maybe so. But watching the demo and speaking at length with Will Byles, the game’s director, put me at ease. His studio, Supermassive Games, has been toiling away on Until Dawn for nearly two years, attempting to construct a teen horror movie in video game form. The result, at least from what I saw, is something dynamic, visually pleasing and fun for those that may be watching.
