(CriticalIndieGamer)David Cages Quantic Dream, and their 2010 release Heavy Rain, finally gave us the realisation of the interactive movie or a game with a focus on dynamic storytelling, player choice and characterisation as opposed to traditional gameplay mechanics. Heavy Rain was a critical success, mostly lauded for bringing something completely new to the table and telling its story in a cinematic manner never before seen in a video game. Only Quantics own follow-up Beyond: Two Souls has really tried something similar on such a big scale (You can probably see where Im going with this) Until now that is! Supermassive Games builds on the groundwork laid out by Quantic Dream, exceeds it and gives gamers a unique, special experience in what will surely be their coming out party teen slasher, survival horror game Until Dawn.

"Following the success of Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls on the PlayStation 3, a new developer called SuperMassive Games developed Until Dawn, a new interactive survival-horror game where it promises to deliver the same thrilling-experience similar to the two games from Quantic Dream. Giving the decisions on who dies and lives in the hands of the gamer, Until Dawn gives players the freedom to alter the flow of the story and see how it will end through its butterfly effect feature introduced in the game. If you are one of those gamers who love watching horror movies and get mad if your favorite character makes a dumb decision and dies due to it, Until Dawn will change everything as you will have to the power to control their decisions and fate." - JPS

EGMR writes: "Until Dawn is a multitude of surprises. It can frustrate you with its faults, yet it makes you want to see it through. It won't blow you away, but the more you play it the more you'll want to. Despite its use of one too many bad horror cliches, it's unpredictable enough in its paths to keep you hooked. It's more than it is at face value, it's excellent as a cinematic experience and it just clicks as you dive in. Until Dawn may not be looking to dethrone those at the top, but it certainly makes a compelling argument and actually does a few things surprisingly better than the rest."

Microsoft's Gamescom 2015 demonstration of Remedy Entertainment's upcoming Xbox One exclusive Quantum Break was one that left a strong impression. Showcasing some of the most impressive visuals seen from a game pre-release, some believed that the only way it could achieve its advanced shader and lighting quality is with a lower 720p resolution. Surprisingly, that doesn't appear so.
