So apparently this game is now running on the Killzone Shadowfall engine.
Looks mighty impressive.
Day One for me. Love this kind of game.

Doesn't grab me. The same old teen movie theme.

Have their been any teen movie video games? Looks interesting but like P.T. this isn't hugely appealing to me. But I could be wrong. Again (like Rime and The Tomorrow Children) it's difficult to judge the gameplay.
Eternal Darkness, Heavy Rain, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and the Saw films, put them all into a blender and it'll spit out Until Dawn, a third-person adventure-horror game running on the Killzone: Shadow Fall engine. This a cinematic thriller that jump-scared me no fewer than three times during a 20-minute playable demo, and I thank it for that.
The pics at IGN look good... damn good.

Wow, that is obscure.
So... game has 100s of possible endings, thousands of gameplay branches... and Hayden Panettiere is confirmed to be in.

However, IMO there is one problem:
Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls worked because animations both in "cinematic" and "gameplay" mode were great. Here, they are sometimes very twitchy.

Graphics look nice, but yes the animation is quite twitchy.
Woooooow! I am starting to really dig this game!
^ must watch in 1080p
Beautiful beautiful visuals, nice gameplay, fast-pace movement, good tension. Even the characters are well done [for a game that is definetley not recieving top of the line budget]. Facial movement is not perfect, but I don't expect it to be. Wonky animation is there, but its rare and it does not matter much in grand scheme of things. Every adventure fan needs to check this 20min video out, It really puts the game into a new perspective.
I will play this, and hopefully Capcom will take notice of it. They could make absolutely kickass Resident Evil game with this style of gameplay.

Based on the reveal trailer at the Sony conference this did not appeal to me in the least but having watched the 24 min gameplay this is looking very interesting and a possible buy.
But that animation.
Wow the gameplay looks very pretty indeed, shame the animation isn't quite on par yet so hopefully it gets improved on release. I really like the Heavy Rain style interaction, it makes me feel more intimate and involved. A nice surprise Hayden Panettiere is in it too so I wouldn't worry too much about performance as long as the story is interesting. Yep a definite buy for me.
