Thoroughly enjoyed my time with Until Dawn but I don't necessarily think it needs a remake. If anything it is a game that holds up really well.
That being said anything that gets more eyeballs on it is a good thing IMO.
-UNNECESSARY BUT STILL WELCOMED NINJA APPROVED-
Fantastic game, but I don`t think it needs a remake
Of all the games I feel need remakes, this is extremely low on the list. Curious to see what the plan is.
It's not even a decade old. WTF is the point of a remake? Just port it
Why not just make Until Dawn 2
Maybe a remaster?
The actors actress did a solid job on the original and I platinumed the hell out of that game!
Disappointed with the steelbook but yeah until dawn was wawesome!
only issue i had with it is the audio quality was not great
It was a quite violent and shocking game. I hope they'll censor it to not shock 3yo kids who will play this game... It's okay, sony, no need to thank me for the suggestion...
Another article I read said it was only for PS5, since as you said, Sony does own the actual Until Dawn IP. However - it is also possible that Supermassive acquired the rights to the Until Dawn IP just so they could do a remake/update of it on all current systems, and work it into their Dark Pictures Anthology. Sony has down quite literally nothing with that IP since that game launched, and I don't think anyone is going to be associating Until Dawn as some huge Sony first-party franchise. Most people just remember it as that weird slasher horror game on PS4 they probably didn't play all the way thru haha
Sony released an Until Dawn game for PS VR. So they have used the IP since the original game launched.
Oh shoot you are right, I forgot about the PSVR spinoff. Well, it is still possible Sony sold the rights to Supermassive. There is even a recent precedent to this: Q-Games getting the rights from Sony to re-do The Tomorrow Children. So Sony is willing to deal with their lesser-known IP rights.
