Lol those (non) facial expressions that make your characters look like animatronics

the cast seems really good, too bad I can't stomach horror games
Thank fuck this isn't MP.
. . .also looks like a proper return to UNTIL DAWN level of cheese and horror. Though, the lip syncing, or maybe just the character animations, don't look super great. Hopefully that stiffness doesn't make it to release.
Other than that absolutely in on this (clear Cabin in the Woods around Crystal Lake vibes going on).
Would you prefer a multiple year hype strategy? Game is out in three months and they are just going right into advertising mode. We need more of this and less of "here's a teaser for a game out in a few years. Enjoy."

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Nice.
These games are great couch co-op with the spouse and frantically making decisions.
I'm all over this day 1.

I'd prefer a good game. A three month window does not inspire confidence

Three months release after announcement trailer doesn't mean they haven't been working on it for a while.

I assume this is not a part of The Dark Pictures Anthology?
2K publishing instead of Namco Bandai as well.

Sure, but that remains to be seen. All they've released these past few years is a slew of smaller mediocre titles and they couldn't even get them out of in time. Now out of nowhere they have this new IP out in three months. I'll be happy if this is Until Dawn caliber but i'm not hopeful in the least.

Looks interesting. But I have to say their constant output of the same genre worries me a little, it kinda reminds me of Telltale Games when they were releasing game, after game, after game of the same type and at some point it was just too much. I hope they keep the quality but also diversify their catalogue.

Looks decent, one to play with the other half perhaps.

Nice to see Ted Rami get some work. Looks promising to me.

Got roasted for saying House of Ashes was good in the other topic but I'm serious. Play it you cucks if you're interested and it's on sale. Man of Medan is mid, Little Hope is GARBAGE.
This is another Until Dawn 8 character full 10 hour game deal. Full moon in the sky at night so probably Werewolves. I'm down.

Cross.
As will the final chapter of the Dark Pictures be.
Probably all the new chapters that got announced earlier in the year will also be crossgen.

70 dollars, sorry 2k but no bite here. I will grab it from the discount bin in the future.

That looks way better than I was expecting.
Not full price here in Australia either so may get day one. The cheap quality of Dark Pictures had put me off their last three titles.

Gameplay mechanics? It’s an interactive movie

Don’t know about the others but Until Dawn let’s you freely walk around, exploring the environment and hunt down collectibles.Gameplay mechanics? It’s an interactive movie

yeah they all follow that same formula. Very linear ofcourse.
apparently whats new with this one is a mode where you make some basic character selections and the game plays itself out like a movie.

The Quarry Director Reveals How the Game Connects to Until Dawn
Until Dawn released exclusively on the PlayStation 4 in 2015, immediately putting Supermassive [...]
In a new video released by IGN, director Will Byles discusses the connection between the two games, and how they relate to the horror genre as a whole. Byles states that horror is a much bigger genre than most people assume, but Until Dawn and The Quarry are both tied together in their specific sub-genres.
"The biggest thing I think was kind of the teen horror feel. So, Until Dawn was definitely very, very much on purpose. It wasn't cliche, but we kind of definitely pushed it towards the stereotype of teen horror. We're doing the exact same thing on this," said Byles. "There's a level of humor in there, there's a lightness... it's like a date movie kind of thing. It's Friday the 13th. It's not dark horror, it's more humorous, I think."
While the game will clearly share some similarities with Until Dawn, Byles also mentioned how the game will improve on certain elements. For example, the director mentions how the motion capture has greatly improved over the last seven years, allowing the team to better convey the performances by the game's cast. That could be a big benefit, as The Quarry features a star-studded set of actors, including David Arquette, Justice Smith, Ethan Suplee, Brenda Song, Lance Henriksen, and more.
I'm excited for The Quarry and have decided to get this day one as I have a fondness for cinematic choice-based games. I enjoyed Man of Medan, Little Hope (My favorite in the series thus far.), and House of Ashes. Also interested in the upcoming The Devil in Me despite how disturbing I think it will be for me.
Honestly, though the animations whether facial or body movements are not always as smooth or slightly exaggerated, I do wonder during certain moments if it is done intentionally because, for me anyway, I find a sort of charm to the slight awkwardness and humor to it as well. I couldn't help but laugh at a few awkward moments in House of Ashes and I'm pretty sure Until Dawn has it too, like I can see a bit in The Quarry trailer too. I don't know, pretty much reminds me of the classic horror movies cheesiness antics but for me in a good way. Like Resident Evil dialogue is bad in a good way. "That was too close! You were almost a Jill sandwich."
Regardless of whether it's intentional or not, I'm still having a lot of fun with the games so there's that.
