[ALL] Daylight

[Handleit_44]

For those that might not have heard of Daylight, it’s a procedurally generated psychological horror game. This means each time you start the game, the entire world will be different; from the layout of the level, the location of items you find, and, most importantly, the encounters you stumble into. You will never have the exact same experience twice. As fans of the horror genre know, once you see a scare you never get that same feeling again. That is what we set out to solve with Daylight: give fans a way to be scared each and every time they play it.

For those fans who enjoy all the technical things, you will be happy to hear that Daylight has been built using Unreal Engine 4. We have been working with Epic and Unreal Engine for years, and when we got our hands on Unreal Engine 4, we started prototyping out some ideas, which quickly evolved into what is now Daylight. Being a small studio, Unreal Engine 4 has allowed us to make a game with next generation gameplay and graphics, taking advantage of all the power of PS4.

Bringing Daylight to the PS4 was something we always had in mind, and after PAX East, the attention Daylight received from fans, press, and even publishers greatly exceeded our expectations! It seemed we had touched a nerve. We started talking with Atlus and we are now happy to announce that they will be publishing Daylight and will help us bring it to the PS4 globally in early 2014.

Daylight Gets a Release Date on PS4 and PC
Available from April 8.

Daylight, the procedurally generated horror game from Zombie Studios, will be available on PS4 and PC from April 8 for $14.99 / £11.99.

Users on PC will also be able to use Oculus Rift headsets with the title if they're feeling particularly brave. A pretty cool feature that was announced as part of today's reveal is the fact that Twitch chat can be used to scare your friends senseless by cuing in-game events.

The example given is that by typing "meow", the game will suddenly make a cat noise. The aim is to allow you to terrify your mates, but all the events will be on timers to prevent spamming.

DAYLIGHT DELAYED A FEW WEEKS

Zombie Studios has announced that they are pushing back the release of their PlayStation 4 and PC procedurally-generated horror game, Daylight a few weeks to April 29 to make sure it’s scary enough for the players.

“The way Daylight is developed is completely different because of its procedural generation,” said publisher ATLUS. “In a lot of ways it really helped the team by streamlining the environment creation, but it’s taken extra time to make sure all the scare cues are properly implemented for maximum player effect.”

To ease the pain of the delay, the game will be discounted on both platforms for a limited time. For two weeks after release on the PlayStation 4, Daylight will be available for $9.99 for PlayStation Plus subscribers, and $11.99 for non-subscribers. For PC players, if you pre-order the game anytime between now and release day, you will also get the $9.99 price. Once the two promotional periods end, the game will return to its regular $14.99 price point.

$10 and only a few weeks from release? Nice.

So the reviews keep saying this game is pretty disappointing. Anyone here played it yet?

That sucks. I was all set to download this today.

But of course it's a PS (console)exclusive. Not surprised the "experts" giving it less than favorable reviews.

Yeah. Metacritic review score are at 5.5 and user score is at 6.0.

At least Outlast's Whistleblower DLC comes out soon. I need a horror fix.

I don't understand how there would be some sort of bias implemented when the PC version has a 56.

Most have reviewed the PC version, and that's the scores I was going off of.

Yeah, that's what GS reviewed.

I'm still trying to decide if it's worth $10. If it's around a 6/10 that would probably still be worth $10. The thing is, most people seem to be saying that should've been the price to begin with. I still need to finish Outlast.
