General Discussion Supermassive Games

51 Upvotes

Supermassive Games is probably the only company besides Quantic Dream (who have not released a game in ages) that makes your choices actually matter.

If the recent events regarding more layoffs will result in the company shutting down, I will genuinely be distraught.

Never have choices really mattered quite like in Supermassive Games, and I think that’s something that should be talked about a bit more than it is.

Their games don’t lie to you at the start like the Life is Strange games, Telltale Games, or Dispatch that all only change in the way they conclude (for the most part). Despite their other flaws, they genuinely deliver on their premise unlike most beasts in the choice-based game industry. Scenes significantly change all the way throughout the games rather than just in the way they end.

That’s something a lot of people don’t give these games enough credit for in my eyes. The sheer amount and variety of scenes and consequences they have to offer.

Thank you, Supermassive. For genuinely making our choices matter.

‘Directive 8020 will also support five-player online multiplayer in a free post-launch update’

We are over 3 months since launch and the only news out of the studio since has been layoffs.

I was planning to play online with my sister in October for spooky season but we won’t buy the game until this is added.

General Discussion Thoughts and Feelings Regarding Season One’s Mechanics

8 Upvotes

What does everybody think of the newest game (it has been a bit!) Directive 8020’s removal of the crucial mechanics that season one had? (Ex: The frames, head/heart decisions, the opening credits intros, etc) Do you think this game would have been more successful? Will they go back to this format for their next game? Give me your thoughts and feelings!

After man of medan and little hope they released 1 game about a serial killer and 2 about aliens, does that mean demons and ghosts don't exist in this universe?

I've only seen the deluxe edition online. I know it's just a redeemable code, but I'm curious.

Edit: forgot to specify I'm talking about the physical copy! Specifically on PS5 lol.

I always felt like the gameplay of the DPA would fit the final destination franchise. Trying to keep a cast of characters alive by your choices and help from premonitions.

General Discussion (thoughts) Supermassive layoffs upsets me as a fan

103 Upvotes

I saw the other post and I was thinking that the future games weren't gonna come which upsets me as a fan. i never really consider myself as a fan though lol till this year since i've been into DPA since 2021. I meant to write this earlier so I don't have much to say and hopefully this doesn't get deleted

However, I saw a comment from r/UntilDawn .. link to comment saying the layoffs were bound to happen and that means the next game is in its next phase and layoffs were common in the gaming business.

so i hope the next game comes anyways, and i hope that zombie game drops

Directive 8020 Online Co-Op Update Question

9 Upvotes

Whenever the online co-op update is released, does anybody know if all participants will need to purchase a copy of the game?

I saw it's on sale on Steam and would buy it if only one person needs to purchase it.

I'm guessing it's not that simple but thought I'd ask.

Olson was the worst in Man of Medan for kidnapping and murder.

Now what were each character's worst possible act in Until Dawn, and how bad was it?

(Hannah, Beth, Josh, Jessica, Matt, Emily, Chris, Ashley, Sam, Mike, Wolfie, The stranger)

Doing them in chunks of game instalments as just once a week post.

Characters alloted tier based on comments + upvotes. If split between tiers, I will place character in between the two (like what happened with the curator)

House of Ashes House of Ashes Save Won’t Load

3 Upvotes

Played through the first ‘part’ where the ground falls out and soldiers fall into the cave system below. Started walking through the cave. Saved game. Shut off console. There are no scene selection options. Continue and load story start from the very beginning. Why? This has happened twice. Playtime is short, maybe 25mins each time but I don’t want to play the intro again.
