Until Dawn – könnte vielleicht einen Nachfolger bekommen

4

Eine neue Endsequenz in der PS5-Fassung von Until Dawn (die aktuell noch bei Reddit konsumiert werden kann) deutet einen eventuellen Nachfolger an. Bisher galt dieser als quasi ausgeschlossen und das konzeptionell sehr ähnliche The Quarry war dann so etwas wie ein inoffizielles Sequel.

Until Dawn erschien am 26. August 2015 für PS4. Die PS5-Version folgt heute.

Tops & Flops – Überbrückungstag-Solo

7

 

Das kam außerhalb der Weihnachtszeit noch nie vor (glauben wir zumindest): Eine unglückliche Verkettung und Vermischung aus Redaktionsschlüssen, Dienstreisen, Feiertagen (nicht für die Redaktion natürlich), Brückentagen und Verpeilungen führte dazu, dass die Tops & Flops diese Woche ausfallen…

Die ganzen Tops & Flops? Nein! Ein unbeugsamer Redakteur hat es sich nicht nehmen lassen, doch seine Höhe- und Tiefpunkte der vergangenen sieben Tage aufzuführen – wer sich ein Fleißkärtchen verdient hat, seht Ihr ab der nächsten Seite.

 

It’s-a him, Steffen!

 


Steffens Top 1 – Silent Hill 2
Sebastian konnte sich schon ausführlich mit Silent Hill 2 beschäftigen. Ich bin frisch eingestiegen und freue mich auf ein Wochenende voller Remake-Original-Vergleiche.

 


Steffens Top 2 – Heihachi
Heihachi war zwar in meiner Tekken-Rangliste immer ganz hinten in früheren Ablegern, aber beim Spielen der kostenlosen Zusatz-Episode, die diese Woche erschien, hab ich ihn doch ein wenig zu schätzen gelernt.

 


Steffens Top 3 – Yakuza-Serie
Der neueste Trailer gibt einen guten Eindruck davon, wie die Serie ablaufen wird und welche bekannten Figuren auftauchen werden. Vorab hatte ich eher erwartet, dass man sich weiter weg von den Spielen entfernen würde.

 


Steffens Top 4 – F-Zero-Alternative
Aero GPX ist vor kurzem auf Steam im Early-Access erschienen und scheint aktuell die beste Alternative zum Klassiker F-Zero zu werden. Das Geschwindigkeitsgefühl passt auf jeden Fall jetzt schon.

 


Steffens Flop – Shadows of Doubt
Uff, ich war schon lange nicht mehr so dermaßen enttäuscht über eine Konsolenportierung. Das hier grenzt an Unspielbarkeit.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows – Koop-Modus in Entwicklung?

Insider Gaming berichtet, dass sich ein Koop-Modus für Assassin’s Creed Shadows in Entwicklung befindet. Dieser habe jedoch nicht mit der kürzlich erfolgten Verschiebung zu tun und werde sowieso erst nach dem Launch ergänzt.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows erscheint am 14. Februar 2025 für PS5 und Xbox Series X.

Artwork von S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

GSC Game World hat eine ausführliche Dokumentation über die Entstehung von S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 veröffentlicht. Hier wird uns unter anderem noch einmal vor Augen geführt, unter welch schwierigen Bedingungen der Ego-Shooter phasenweise entwickelt wurde.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 erscheint am 20. November für Xbox Series X.

Nettes Setting, suboptimale Umsetzung – der recht zähe Spielablauf stellt die Spieler-­Geduld auf eine harte Probe.
