Sony's 'Until Dawn' Remake Faces Backlash Over Technical Failures and High Price

The PS5 and PC remake of the horror classic struggles with performance issues and pricing, overshadowing its visual enhancements.

  • The 'Until Dawn' remake on PS5 and PC has been criticized for technical problems, including frame rate stutters and bugs.
  • Despite graphical improvements in Unreal Engine 5, the game's high price point of $60 has been a major point of contention among players.
  • The shift from a fixed-camera perspective to a third-person view has been divisive, with some feeling it detracts from the original's cinematic experience.
  • Player engagement at launch was significantly lower than expected, with numbers falling below even previous Sony failures like 'Concord'.
  • While the remake includes enhanced accessibility options, many players question the value compared to the still-playable and cheaper PS4 version.
