Until Dawn (Remake) Review: A PS4 Horror Classic Reanimated, but at What Cost?

Until Dawn (Remake) Review: A PS4 Horror Classic Reanimated, but at What Cost?

Published by Webster

In any medium, a remake is a complicated undertaking. A conscious endeavour to produce a piece of art that already exists always inspires the question, why? It’s generally accepted that the decision to remake a film or a video game comes from a place of reverence for the original work. But is that admitted reverence masking an unsaid regret, an urge to improve the style or substance or both of said work? To create is to give life; to recreate is to think about that life, perhaps in a new light. And so, the best remakes reimagine the source material rather than reproducing it purely from a place of high regard. They find kernels of truth in the original work and try and expand on it, often taking it to places unexplored the first time around. Until Dawn is not such a remake. The recently released survival-horror interactive video game doesn’t reinterpret the PS4 classic from 2015. It doesn’t expand and explore the setting and characters beyond the scope of the original. And consequently, it …

PlayStation Network is down, knocking PS5 and PS4 gamers offline

Published by Webster

Gamers hoping to spend an evening in front of their PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4 may be out of luck unless they enjoy single-player experiences (have you tried Astro Bot?). Sony’s gaming network is suffering a massive outage on Monday night. The official PSN Service Status page confirms problems affecting everything, “Other, PS Vita, PS3, PS4, PS5, Web.” If it’s PlayStation — it’s not working. The most recent update tagged 9:21PM ET says that for gaming, “You might have difficulty launching games, apps, or network features. We’re working to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.” On my end, attempting to launch a game brought up “PS5 error Code WS-116522-7,” and the associated webpage from Sony tells me that “The system software is the update failed.” Screenshot: PSN Service Status Players can’t sign in, play multiplayer games, or play single-player games that need to connect and sign-in online first (offline games seem to be working fine). There’s no word on what is causing the issue, and there is no estimated …
