This is rediculous. All this talk villifying the "anti-woke" here lately, whilst so-called "Sony bad" posts are futz-together in one pinned thread.

Sweet Baby isnt your damn savior. Bullying/extortion practices wrapped in your usual sheef of tolerance and toxic positivity. Facts don't care about your feelings. People don't want DEI Influences in their games, just like they dont want estsblished characters race/gender swaped in adaptation media, just like how I would imagine they would want a character whom just happens to be gay in a TV show.. without it being a token inclusion or the whole entire reason for being. You should want better representation, not fake platitudes, and not force those things into everything, weather they fit or not.

Poor Until Dawn, to be dragged through the DEI mud now..

Again, why would you care about any of that? This is a total new experience for you on Gabe's brothel. Until Dawn is not some untouchable classic like Metal Gear. It's an interactive movie.

The OST lol who is even the composer? Does anyone care 🤡

Gabe's brothel? Watch the sodium intake mate. Plenty of PC ports to come in 2024 and 2025.
mate these games do not do well on PC, even the Casting of Frank Stone, which is basically the same thing, didn't do that well. I will always let you know Sony is dropping the ball on what they're porting, they don't listen to the audience and proceed to do things no one asked for, even on the PS side, who the hell was asking for a REMAKE of Until Dawn???

Stay mad about the truth, I know you're mad because you're calling people cunts for zero reason. "Ungrateful" is insane, why are you acting as if they are royalty?

Don't bother. Some of the posts here serve as a strong rationale to include Sony fanboyism in the DSM V.

Nothing but Sheer Fucking Hubris, They just dumped billions in GaaS with no research and forethought. You can pick 4 random posters on icon era and they would have done a better job in coming up with a better roadmap for the foray and push into GaaS games.

And coming to Single player games they really thought the consumers are mindless fat sheep that will consume whatever slop of a remake they serve gladly. SIE is creating their panderverse and just like Marvel they will be put in their place by the market

You ignored every point Ms. Beckham. What's wrong with the new models? The cast looks better than most games out today. Why is the OST offensive, Mozart? Would you notice if a scene was darker if you didn't compare?

Please explain why Unreal 5 is ruining your experience.

#NoPCPorts
It's not even a port. They remade the whole game to be sexy for the PC market and it was rejected once again.

Until Dawn is still the best game in that genre with well-known Hollywood actors, they don't care.

Did you ever hear anyone talk about the Until Dawn OST or Hayden Panettiere face changed too much? I never did until this PC dude.

They always have the weirdest excuses not to play games. High maintenance, snobs, posh spice.

Wow. Talk about nitpicking.

Their only goal is simply that these games come to their favourite box.

Buying and playing them is another matter.

Same applies to Xbox fans.

Just a curiosity of a look...The Casting of Frank Stone, also from Supermassive Games and in the same genre as Until Dawn, had a peak CCU of 6K around its debut earlier this month. That's at least 250% above Until Dawn's. It was only $10 less than Until Dawn remake at launch.

Oh, and it also had a mixed review score. Needless to say, Until Dawn's Steam launch is...not looking very good.

You know what the problem is? It should have been a PC exclusive. A Sony game only on PC would have created hype and sales would have been much higher.

They deserve all the humiliation and humbling coming their way. Literally threw away the winning formula for what exactly? You rebuilt your brand focusing on your ecosystem and corporate greed will be their undoing

Okay so these games from Supermassive or Quantic Dream should not get made and release on PC? They are basically point-and-click adventure games that were popular on PC from Sierra and LucasArts. Phantasmagoria, Gabriel Knight, The Last Journey, all trash? That's brutal.

If it's not GAAS, F2P or MP you don't want it. Thanks for confirming PCMR are the most closed-minded gamers.
They are not at all anything close to point-and-click adventure games, you have no idea what you're talking about. Have you even seen all the changes they did to game or are you just shilling? No one cares if it's new to PC, Until Dawn is not at all a popular game, it was when it released sure, just like all the other games like it, remember The Quarry? Do you hear anyone talking about that game anymore? No. You don't.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 sold ~15 million on PC before MP was added.
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sold 12 million on PC.
The Sims sold ~11 million on PC.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 sold ~10 million on PC.
Cyberpunk 2077 sold ~7.67 million on PC/Stadia by April 2021. (the latter the lesser)
Sims 3 sold ~7 million on PC.
Sims 2 sold ~6 million on PC.
Cities: Skylines sold ~6 million on PC.

So no, your lies about "If it's not GAAS, F2P or MP you don't want it." is fundamentally flawed and completely false.
A game like Until Dawn came out, developed by Supermassive, called The Casting of Frank Stone and it's estimated copies sold on Steam are only ~96.9k. The truth is that you aren't ready for is no one really cares about these types of games as much, if at all. The remake was useless, no one asked for it.

that game had mixed reviews because they just have nonsensical decisions that lead to things that make no sense, major performance issues for a lot of people at launch, I have no idea if they fixed it, and it's just kind of mid, I played through it with my friend and we were just flabbergasted at the "consequences" for decisions that make no sense to lead to said consequences.

The biggest reason was the performance problems, oh and apparently the game "released" but they didn't upload the game.

What a sad list. Until Dawn is number 19 in a sea of flops and we're supposed to be impressed? If Sony was a regular publisher they would be dead long ago with these stats.

Guns Up! got beat what an achievement 🤣
