Until Dawn is back on PlayStation 5 and after playing the prologue and the first chapter, we must say we are pretty disappointed by it from a technical standpoint. The game's lighting effects have been overhauled but it changes the atmospheres of certain scenes and some fans might not like it. We don't really mind to be honest, but we do feel it is a shame to see that this new version does not have a steady framerate, despite running at 30 fps. The implementation of ray tracing might be to blame, if there really is ray tracing in there, but when you consider that the original PS4 version can run at a smooth 60 on PS5 (and is much cheaper), it is a bit of a disappointment. Not that you need 60 fps to enjoy the adventure mind you, but framerate should be perfectly steady. Let's hope the PC port will fix this issue, as we firmly believe that the game is mostly aimed at PC players who have never owned a PlayStation console. Supermassive's first game is the best to us, though we also enjoyed The Quarry, Little Hope and House of Ashes, so if you have never played it, you definitely should. Now which version should you choose clearly depends on where you want to play it.
Note: A real gameplay video will be added as soon as it's encoded but we played the prologue in a French Gamersyde Offline video if you want to see some footage now.
Update: Gameplay video added.
