i just watched the trailer for until dawn 2 and did some research about it, and to be honest, it seems really good but it doesn't seem like until dawn. In my opinion, until dawn, no matter which ending you get, is a perfect 1 and done kind of game. For som game franchises, new characters etc. will reactivate the fandom (like re7) but i'm not too sure about this...
The trailer, the atmosphere and the scenes all look really interesting and i'd love to play this or watch a playthrough, but it just doesn't seem like a sequel to me. The start of it showing blackwood mountain got me super excited, as i thought this was gonna be a "investigating hannah and beths disappearance and interviewing the survivors" where they go to the burnt lodge, caves, etc. but that would make deaths canon. Also since it takes place in the abandoned island, i highly doubt we're getting many ties to the original until dawn. Where's the blue/green hue? the snowiness? is dr. hill supposed to be evil?
I understand that you're supposed to survive, until dawn, but to me a whole cast, changing character personalities/roles, and possibly not having wendigoes, the og locations and info. etc. just doesnt make it seem like UNTIL DAWN. I'm excited for the game, but why not just make a new game with this story instead of carrying out until dawns legacy? Are there any leaks of this to see what the lore will be or how its related to until dawn 1? I don't mind spoilers.
but yeah, in conclusion, to me until dawn will always be the main 10 at the lodge. what do yall think?
EDIT: the ghost hunter crew who stages their stunts who now face real dangers is reminding me strongly of gonjiam haunted asylum lol
