Happy for this to be dropping July 19th.

 

[amigastar]

Anyone remember Hotel Dusk: Room 215 on the DS?
I'm getting similar vibes.

 

[Punished Miku]

No clue if this will be good. But it looks original. Im down for playing it and glad its soon.

Not sure why they didn't show more Somerville also.

 

[reksveks]

Not sure why they didn't show more Somerville also.

Especially since it was on the image for games in the next 12 months

 

[reksveks]

Sounds like there is a multiplayer component to this game

 

[ReBurn]

The jumps, cuts and fades...is that how the whole game will be?

 

[LordCBH]

This was easily the low point of their event for me.

 

[Ozzie666]

They really felt the need to have some talk the game up, which created a huge disconnect and made the disappointing low point even more so.

Seems like it. They did say it was "gameplay". I was expecting something at least closer to a Life is Strange or Tell Me Why; this 'gameplay' is just a sequence of storyboards. Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style multiple choice answers, the kind of stuff that was cutting edge in Sega CD or 3DO FMV games.

I still can't believe this is the gameplay. I must've misheard. If there's some actual gameplay they showed, someone please point me to it.

 

[EruditeHobo]

One of the more interesting things on show today, for me... but will heavily depend on things like plot & characterization.

Either way, for now I'm interested.

The game has its own style and that is one big point of that. people are comic-like while objects move. It is somehow .... unique ...

I'm a bit unsure if those characters photos of real people with a "oil-filter" or drawn characters. They have so many details but on the other hand, my brain could just be the one that just recognizes real people because the pictures are good enough to recreate those characters in the mind.

They record the actors and then basically draw them from the reference images.

There is a bit more insight in the Tribeca stream.

If Marchal and I disagreed, however, As Dusk Falls has mechanics in place to rectify that. Between two players, it will randomly select one of our choices. Each player also gets a few override options for every section, so if you feel really strongly about a decision and the team decides otherwise, you can come in with the ultimate trump card. Just imagine how that will play out: you're faced with the choice of taking a gun from someone during a tense standoff or doing nothing, and your friend (perhaps a notorious wild card) wants to snatch it out of their hands. You, however, want to play it cool, and your choice is selected randomly – but your wild card friend comes in and overrides your choice. As Dusk Falls labels these decisions a "Crossroad" choice, one that will have major consequences on how the rest of the story plays out, and your friend just threw a narrative hand grenade into the mix.

[Naked Lunch]

Interesting it can be played with 8 players. I wonder how that works.
Refreshing to see something thats not a 3rd person horror game or FPS that's all the rage these days.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

So they showed more gameplay today and...uh....yeah. Not what I was expecting at all. Animated storyboard slides, I don't see that being a good thing for a game that's primarily been advertised for a cutting-edge current-gen games console.

The multiplayer part looks fun, tho Until Dawn had something like it too. I guess it's a good thing it's in GamePass because I can't see it selling much of anything with its presentation style otherwise. Maybe the story is good, if simple-looking. If there were more of an actual game here, something closer to a Life is Strange but with the artstyle they've shown so far, it'd go a lot further as an IP and for the studio as well.

cringe fest

An awsome set of games, that and Last window.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

This would look amazing if it would be fully animated at all times.

 

[Plantoid]

Not my cup of tea

 

[adamsapple]

Pre load is up on Xbox, 50 fucking GB.

Looks like this game uses a hell of a lot of video files cause those flapping jpegs sure can't take up that much space.

Reminds of the day where audio was uncompressed files and fucking huge. Will preload on my series s when I get a chance.

 

[Hendrick's]

Animation is expensive the game.

 

[Fuz]

What the gameplay will be?
A Telltale-like?

 

[Gamezone]

Looks like a Max Payne loading screen.

 

[adamsapple]

Seems like it, it's one of those narrative Walking Dead style games.

 

[reksveks]

Like Telltale but no 3d world to walk around.

Decisions and QTE and then a quantic dream like tree at the end that you can bounce around.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

As Dusk Falls is an original interactive drama. Experience solo or multiplayer up to 8 people while making choices that impact characters’ lives in this uncompromising story of betrayal, sacrifice, and resilience.

 

[ReBurn]

So it's out? I'll have to stream it and see what's up.

 

[Punished Miku]

Its pretty good. Im into it. Chapter 1 has a lot of choices. Art style actually looks great.

The choice map in between chapters is great.
