Man of Medan Is Not the Until Dawn Follow Up You Were Hoping For

Greysun from Twinfinite writes:

"Ever since Until Dawn launched back in 2015, fans have been wanting a proper follow up to Supermassive's horror title, unfortunately, Man of Medan isn't that."

It appears that way.

I was shocked to see Until Dawn was only a 79 Metacritic, but Man of Medan is just a 69 https://www.metacritic.com/... People loved Until Dawn and despite some minor flaws, it was an awesome game. It seems as though Supermassive produced an inferior rendition for all platforms. Apparently the game itself would've scored worse, but the weird multiplayer mode actually picks it up. I'm just interested in the sp, so it doesn't bode well for me.

I'm actually quite surprised the game is seemingly so poor considering Supermassive was squirreling away funds, dogging Sony projects and supporting Dark Pictures instead. I expected Man of Medan to be a polished, high level game considering Bravo Team and The Inpatient suffered at the hands of it. https://www.eurogamer.net/a...

I have no interest in supporting Dark Pictures after reading the reports and just witnessing Supermassive's behavior. They will have to win me back with some quality PS4 software at this point. A publisher should respect every project.

How long is this game as far as gameplay hours. I heard before the game came out people saying it was on the short side.

Would it be better to wait for the entire anthology to be released and then get the total package. But who knows how many years that would take to happen.

I Like the Way Julia Talks with her teeth closed in PewDiePies Lets Play her facial expressions are everywhere

rolando1231729d ago

It took me about 5 hours to finish the story once

TravieTrav1729d ago

Seen some Youtubers upload the full game in close to 3 hour videos. Unless they edited it a bit, I'd say 3-5 hours for a full playthrough.

Tech51729d ago

Man of Medan isn't the whole game. it's the first entry into a series of stories.

wheresmymonkey1728d ago

It's about five hours a playthrough. But just like Until Dawn, it has multiple endings and lots of different things happen the more you play it.
So 20ish I would say to do everything and see all the things.

These games will nvr score high just play it

mandingo1728d ago

Seems like you're mad supermassive isn't making games for just the ps4.

CosmicTurtle1728d ago

You’re the only one who seems to care about platform. I think the concerns and questions seem legitimate. I look forward to trying this but waiting on the other entries seems sensible.

Unspoken1728d ago

Um, why not play the game first then do a review instead of the other way around...

Supermasive is using the same mo-cap tech they use in all of their projects.

Yeah i noticed .. i’ve been watching Felix play it and the writning and the premise is so bland and mediocre makes me really miss Until Dawn what an aweosme game that was. Reall shame it didn’t get a pro patch or something becase it works like a slideshow otherwise i would replay it right now.

sander97021728d ago

I had a great time playing this with my bro I guess it's one of those games where company matters most, especially since it's in all ways just a movie you control sometimes.

Hidetaka Miyazaki Wants To Work On His Debut Franchise After Elden Ring DLC

Hidetaka Miyazaki appeared in an interview to discuss the future of the Elden Ring DLC and FromSoftware's future plans.

Cacabunga17m ago

I hope Bluepoint are working on BB remake..
Sony now seem to have lost it with all the gaas, i have no hope in seeing them approaching FS to make a sequel. I hope gamers will push Sony and show continuous disapproval to the gaas model

Ubisoft say AC Shadows protagonists will be "romantically attracted to different types of people"

Ubisoft recently shared more details about Assassin's Creed Shadows protagonists, confirming that both of them will romantically attract and be attracted to different types of people.

Hugodastrevas1d ago

That should please everyone I'm sure...

RpgSama10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Feudal Japan DEI LGBTQ+ Samurai, sounds very accurate for the time period. Surely a decision made only with historical accuracy in mind.

Crows9010h ago

Or even modern day accuracy.....

Lexreborn210h ago

You have no idea what you are talking about, bet you didn’t know nobunaga was bi-sexual. Or ran maru his is often depicted as androgynous was a “beautiful boy”.

So yeah, feudal Japan had tons of lgbtq and kawaii enough… A BLACK SAMURAI! All without the need of offending a Caucasian because the world is diverse.

VenomUK8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

This story has cracked me up so much! Bravo Ubisoft, bravo! 🤣. So last week everyone was upset that in the long-awaited first Assassin’s Creed: Japan game the protagonist is black. But NOW he is also LGBTQ+ ! It’s like the Ubisoft creative team sat around a table and said “How can we best impress our Kotaku/IGN/Polygon friends and antagonise gamers? Let’s make it woke x 100!’ And then they all silent clapped!

Just you wait until the Star Wars: Outlaws details come out, there better not be anybody complaining about Kay Vess’ dating preferences and the gay droid armies.

Christopher8h ago

It actually is.

Japanese were very Greek in their sexual experiences.

lodossrage8h ago

Lexreborn2 is right

Go read up on Japan's feudal era homosexuality and bisexuality was a very common thing in that time.

I just have to laugh because the same people complaining about this are the same ones crying about wanting "historical accuracy". When it's clear most of the whiners don't even know history themselves.

Christopher7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Facts don't care about downvotes, btw. You either claim to understand historical accuracy or you just admit you don't like the stuff people did throughout history.

thorstein4h ago

Japan had no Christian stupidity about sexuality.

That's where your nonsensical puritanical view comes from: the Abraham's faiths.

It's feudal Japan, they don't believe in your religion's made up nonsense.

I mean, if you're going to embrace a particular viewpoint, you should at least be aware of where it comes from. Most of the world doesn't care about your ideals.

In those days, they certainly didn't care about your religion.

Get over yourself.

RpgSama2h ago

All of you guys missed the point, I even said I'm very sure they did it ONLY because they wanted to be historically accurate. Stop defending this, we all know why they did it and who they want to pander, it's not out newfound respect for history.

lodossrage2h ago

@RpgSama

Nobody is defending anything.

People are just pointing out the fact that after they just cried about the game not being historically accurate, when they SHOW they're accurate, they cry about it because they don't like certain parts of history

Not to mention you contradicted yourself RPGSama. You just pointed out you said they "ONLY because they wanted to be historically accurate". Then turn around and accuse them of pandering and/or having an agenda. Those two things are opposing statements

Geezus, just make a good game… holy sh*t this is becoming insufferable.

Crows9010h ago

Oh yeah!!!! What about being inclusive???

I'm sorry
..please replace the word inclusive with stupid.

notachance6h ago

If they truly aimed for inclusivity they’d make the protagonist an Ainu tribe, this is just Ubisoft getting comfy with Sweet Baby Inc as always.

Hofstaderman8h ago

You asking UbiSoft to make a good game? This is not 2002.

thorstein3h ago

I thought you crybabies wanted "historical accuracy." Now that your going to get it, you're going to cry more.

darthv7210h ago

Is that genuinely a selling point for people?

RpgSama10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

They sure as hell want to see if it is, time and time and time again.

VincentVanBro9h ago

You have to understand they’re incapable of writing a good story so this is the best they could come up with

thorstein3h ago

Well, after last weeks crying about historical accuracy. Now Ubi days, " Oh, okay, historical accuracy: here you go."

Now you're saying you don't want the accuracy? Can you guys just make up your minds?

notachance1h ago

Many entertainment medias do this nowadays because in an effort to boost the so called “EGS score”, investment companies such as Black Rock stipulated contracts that obligated fund recipient to conform to certain inclusivity standards, either by themselves or consulting with agencies like Sweet Baby Inc or Gaymerx.

notatallsurprisinggg1h ago

It's a genuine click-bait snippet to rile up people like you to push traffic.

Unannounced Valve 6v6 Shooter MOBA Footage Leaked

Valve really cannot count to 3.

Number1TailzFan8h ago

They should've had a new L4D like 10 years ago, it can be expanded upon a lot more but they just left it collecting dust.. it was a good game for its time but L4D2 doesn't have nearly enough content these days to keep players engaged, and it needs a serious graphics upgrade

mastershredder7h ago

Nice bend at the knee there Gabe. Seriously? A quirky character arena shooter? This late into the me-too-shooter market? I thought you guys were so much better than that crap. Gabe must need a bigger yacht.

kitano19471h ago

clown comment, valve are famous for letting their devs work on whatever they want as they have no share holders to please. hence why we rarely get games from valve but when we do they generally are great.

icefrog, the original modder who created dota on warcraft 3 is working on this with some other members at valve.
