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.
