was this remake necessary? no. do i kinda hate the changes? yes. am i still gonna watch gab play it? hell yeah
I think most people are here for Gab and of course big Beebus ❤!
So trueeee🤣🤣🤣
I don’t really like most of the changes either. Especially the new scenes were there’s no voice acting. It’s just the characters smiling or making weird faces. Like Hanna in the beginning.
Right 😂 I was so confused seeing the notif 😂 like "they made a remake? For what?" 😂
this this this!!!
i love that that's the title because this "just a prank, han!" has lived rent-free in my mind since, what, 2014?
Omg totally same and i didn’t even remember where it came from 😂
It IS such an iconic line! For me the one that stuck with me is the "sometimes doing nothing is the right thing to do"
😂 I know right it's good 😂.
Seriously, anyone and anywhere that has mentioned pranks in the last 10 years, this game comes to mind.
@@Sora1925 Right pranksters should look at this and think twice the next time they want to pull a so called harmless prank.
The characters look like they have their face animations crancked up to 150%, and are weirdly smiling all the time, i't so uncanny
Yeah, that is most scary part of movie. 'Smile 3' incoming lol.
Yeah, that's something very accurate to the original lmao
agree 100%!
They cut out my favorite part: when Hannah goes to take her shirt off, for a split second in the original Mike straight up forgot it was a prank and was all "Oh hell yeah".
Literally! Always the best parts
They also replaced the text of the note Mike leaves for Hannah or am I crazy? Why? Was the original too offensive for modern times or what could be possibly the reason for that? The original was campy and stupid but most importantly - memorable.. I am sooo confused...
@@AppleJackApple well, it wasn't really Mike that wrote it, I believe it's at least implied that Jess wrote it. It was super corny but also makes her action make more sense. To be clear, I don't like Mike in this scene, I think it's just funny how much of a dumb dude he is.
they def rewrote the prologue to make mike less dickish 😂 but i kinda liked that mike was a d bag, it made his character development later in the game all the better
Libtards probably got offended
It's nice to see both Beth and Hannah alive a little bit longer.
That is true. We really didn't get to connect with them much in the original.
It was really unnecessary imo, feels like they just add it for the sake of adding it for a remake
@@CheesyDaleI disagree, it adds sorrow to their deaths. In the original it was easier to be like ihnooo they’re dead boohoo. And now it’s more like… okay I can empathize with Josh more, like Beth was really loving and caring and Hannah was clearly very sweet.
@@Stupidtacocatstuffgrrthis!!! In the original I was like oh yeah they died 😂😭. Here I was like oof pls live
The uncanny valley for me is in the details, like their hair seems stiff and their eyes are flicking around weird and they twitch kinda weird? Like Sam in the cable car. I think hyper realistic graphics without hyper realistic movement is what’s weirding me out.
yeah like the old version pulled it off because the characters faces weren't "perfect", they had their awkward moments but the styling made it seem believable
also the fact that the way shadows and lighting worked kinda covered most of their face. the best thing about it is the eyes are actually full of expression which is lacking in SM's newer games.
The Devil In Me has like these two characters, Jamie and Erin, who have eyes that are larger than most characters. Mostly because they are WIDE OPEN THE ENTIRE GAME. This is universal among all the characters, their lower face moves, but their eyes just stay completely still. Even when they move their head their eyes stay in the exact same place the whole time and it's so awkward. It's so much more obvious with Jamie and Erin than it is with Charlie, because we see their eyes much easier.
A lot of people use the excuse that it was developed during covid or alongside the quarry, which I think is bull. It doesn't give a game development studio the liberty to make a bad game because the world is going through "hard times". And it's disappointing when these series of games come from the same studio that made a critically acclaimed game beloved by millions.
The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe said it best honestly "This is what happens when greedy video game developers with no respect for their fanbase rush a cheap expansion to market for no reason other than to make an easy dollar! "
(apologies for the video essay response but this crap is just so infuriating it could be a comedy special)
Also why are all of these animals SO habituated to humans!? Deer and squirrels in cities act like that not ones on mountains that are deserted most of the year. Also do the devs not know that wolverines are dangerous as hell when they feel cornered?
@@cupid3890 esp cause game devs should KNOW by now which elements make people uncomfortable. But then also they have these blatant errors like the snow not being on the fence and jess’ HEAD not loading in. It’s super not cool if you ask me when the game has such a dedicated community. This remake definitely feels like a money grab so far, which considering the lukewarm reception that the devil in me got from what I’ve seen makes some moneygrubbing sense.
I would agree, especially because I like the look of the environment a lot more, and that's mostly static. it's the same feeling I get when I play elder scrolls games with graphics mods. you can make the characters look amazing but if the animations and physics don't match it feels off.
@@AJ-uo5zl hard agree, the physics in this feel off too like their body doesn’t shift even if they lean so it’s like they’re made of plastic and not flesh and bone. Hair and clothes seem stiff instead of flowing so there’s no sense of presence? Like they’re removed from the environment a bit, which I agree is nice.
in german there is a word for what happened to this game: "verschlimmbessern". "making something worse by trying to improve it".
Of course there is a German word for it 😂
Nailed it. This version sucks.
dieser kommentar ist jetzt besitz der bundesrepublik deutschland :D
In Dutch it is "kapotverbeteren"
@@scallywags666 I just saw a comment about this verschlimmbessern verb in another video a few days ago and it is almost the same as your comment 🤯 I thought the bots are trying to teach german now lol
Hmmm. Narratively so far I like how they fleshed out the opening, but yeah, I'm struggling to like the new styling. I don't like Jess's new design. They've made her look... meaner? I liked that her old design felt a little more like, she had a mean girl attitude but a sort of sweeter look?
Yeah, I don't like the new lighting, everything has become very dark imo.
I think Jess looks so different cause they fixed her mocap a bit to make her look more like the actor- a lot of people didn’t know it was her in the previous game so she does look a bit meaner since I think that’s the actors face unfortunately
I feel like they also put more makeup on her and all the girl characters for some reason?? Her especially, in the opening sequence she looked like she had full-on clean glitter smokey eye AFTER a party. Like, no smudges or anything.
her shoulders are insanely disproportionate
The characters look and move so weird now 😂 glad you're playing it!
Man…not having the first premonition totem with Beth and Hannah and Oh Death song hurts the vibe for beginning of the game. Really sets the mood!
There actually is a totem for Hannah and Beth’s death but they changed where it is - at the very beginning when you’re playing as Beth, you have to go back outside before picking up the note and the totem is somewhere outside 😭
This is one of those remakes that made me think "Why?"
*but* I'm so happy so many people are playing Until Dawn now.
03:55 I'm glad Gab said it, I do see how the new models are improved versions of the OG and some of the proportions have improved (especially Matt), it is still weird how some of vibe of the characters change because of it. I had to get used to it, very much so. (I had the same issue with the Life is Strange remake)
Like Sam, they made her more 'pretty', but they all still feel very different from the way they looked in the 2015 version. Mike hasn't changed that much, though. Neither has Chris. haha!
I just have a soft spot for the original models, soundrack and lighting, but I won't bash anyone for liking the Remake, you do you
Considering they added 2 new endings, added scenes with Matt and Emily to make their relationship seem remotely real... LIS was not a Remake, it was a remaster.
This is using an entirely new engine and was built from the ground up. LIS remaster was not.
“Let’s get upset over someone else’s characters we have no say over!”
@@LampDoesVideogame Those scenes with Matt and Emily arent new, they were just Pre-order Exclusive and they added them in the remake
I personally like both, but my main issue with the remake is well, besides the soundtrack, I have horrendous lag, even though my computer can run it, but also, I dont think that the remake is worth 60 dollars imo.
38:52 the little BB introduction😂
I had to clip it and send it to my sister 😂
I screenshotted it too BEEBUS
little big? lol call it solid snake
I died hahahahaha
Huh okay first impression is that I think the characters' arms and legs look strangely skinny. Especially on some of the female characters with bigger chests?
Also loved the song replacement in the beginning!
I also feel like the larger chest proportions aren't well done? The shape is super weird
I'm pretty sure they all have larger boobs now😂 idk why
i think the reason the girls' chests look weird is that it feels forced yk? like how some people puff up their chests? and their shoulders are just generally smaller so it looks even weirder. also when people puff up their chests' their shoulders/arms move back aswell
I can't stop laughing at the character introductions like they flashed the characters from every angle like those Bollywood movies meme 💀💀
It honestly looks like they didn’t want the character models to look like the actors they were based on.
I agree! Hannah and Beth's faces look so different from the actress
Sounds like an excuse they made up to defend Star Wars Outlaws.
I feel like they look more like their voice actors, except Hannah and Beth. Josh, especially.
@@briansanders8122 what happened in Star Wars??
@@bobthefairy They tried to claim current year technology just wrecks actress's faces when put into the program despite far older technology capturing faces far better and current tech never seems to distort male faces into creepy uncanny valley stuff.
“Thank you Gab!” We all scream in unison!
I actually did tho ~~
I actually did tho ~~
The introductions are so aggressive! Felt attacked😂 But BB's intro was very cute and funny💕
No "Oh Death" song!? Ok trying to be open here but that song set the tone real quick
Agreed and it just feels weird not to have it to me.
I wonder if there was an issue with the licensing bc it makes no sense to replace that otherwise. it's so iconic and would have gone a long way to make players feel more familiar/comfortable with the remake.
They added a streamer mode that "Oh Death" isn't played on for copyright reasons.
They should have kept O Death, I hate they replaced it with a new song
@@PurpleSongbird_ They have a streamer mode that replaces copyright songs. 😊
how did they manage to make it look worse than the original? everyone has been making fun of how the characters look weird and give uncanny valley vibes in the original, but they somehow managed to make the characters look even more creepy in the remaster. they look like they have unmoving porcelain doll masks on their faces the entire time, AND they all now look the same, just with different hair. that’s honestly impressive, if nothing else 😂
Different (smaller) company and about 1/3 of the development time does it.
@@sinine1100 oof that's rough
"they all look the same just with different hair" is possibly the most ungenerous take you could have. You don't have to like the changes, but they don't even remotely look "the same", they very much have the same "faces" as in the original.
I was practically screaming when they put Josh on his back, you don't do that to someone who's drunk! GAH!
(edit: Ah thank fuck he rolled onto his side, that was gonna make me nuts lol)
I actually think the models are pretty decent and it’s more the eyes and mouth movements that are throwing me for a loop occasionally here.
That's always been my issue with their models too. The models are fine, but something about the movements at times is VERY unnatural.
I appreciate the effort to make Sam and Matt make sense as part of the prank, snd thus justify the later story, but also it feels like Disney reconing old stories that people were okay with despite the inconsistencies
I love that during the intro credits, the little snippets reflect some of the biggest choices of the characters, like Chris with the saw and Ashley with the gun.
Yea and Matt with the axe
The original version felt a little more “campy” and fit the atmosphere of the game’s story more. The new one version looks good, especially the new cinematic sequence with the transitions, but it kinda stole the atmosphere of the game for me.
I actually really liked the replaced music, kudos to the editor for finding solid pieces to go into that space and edited it very well
Do you know the name of the song they replaced for the prank scene? I can’t find it anywhere
I still dont understand why this game needed a remake. Didnt this game just come out a few years ago and it still holds up to at least in today's standards.
a few 10 years^^
@@zielona_f made 10 ish years ago... yeah that just tells you the industry asnt made progress since.
There's a movie being made so that's definitely what has prompted this.
They didn’t have to make a remake, but a remaster probably would’ve been better.
Omg the Beebus flashbang jumpscare 😂 The Goodest Boi indeed!
I'm sure 'technically' the graphics and things are better, but like you said, it's a hard switch for me. Extra scenes in the prologue were kinda nice for more context, but I think I still prefer the old version.
The BEEBUS flash intro was great 😂❤
At 59:00 Gab talks about the legal system of the US, BUT this game takes place in Canada! The mountain is in Alberta
Isnt the twins and Josh’s family name “Washington”? I thought it took place in Washington state which also has beautiful mountains
@@ead0132 nah, right before that timestamp the character is actually holding a piece of newspaper from Alberta
I can't believe they changed Beth's odd "where is my sister going", it's my third favourite line
I know man, and another small detail I cannot stand is the very beginning of the classic when they are showing the butterfly effect thing, each time a choice was made there was a scream or some sound but now it’s just replaced with bad music
I feel like the original had a very good intro, it really set the mood for the rest of it. The original had such an unsettling feel to it that always made you feel on edge, it felt like a tense movie the entire time. The remake just doesn’t capture that too well. The music for sure in the original set the creepy tone
‘Hannah’
Gab- Barbarra
Made me spit out my coffee😂 such an innocent joke, but killed me lol. I miss Boomerang cartoons lolol
I appreciate that the remake added on to the original and think most of its value lies in what’s new to this version, although the soundtrack changes weirdly bothered me (thanks sm Gab for editing the music balance!). The characters’ hair, clothes, and added details (like Hannah’s tears or the scribbles on Chris) are the visual changes I like the most
Yknow I always thought Hannah running out into the snow was weird, but I guess after thinking about it... ALL her friends just played a really cruel prank on her and recorded it on video, maybe she wanted to just curl up in the snow and die after that :/
I guess the additional scene with the red cup confirms she was a bit drunk, which also explains her poor judgement.
I think that the parts that looks weird in the prologue are the ones they made from scratch. Especially the part where Hannah is drinking in a very robotic way and the overdramatisation of the prank reveal. The rest seems very natural and faithful to the og. Also, the skin and clothing textures are very impressive!
“We love you, Gab!” we all say together. 💛
Heck yeah ❤
Did not ask for it, super happy to see it. Will start watching now. Thank you, Gab!
Characters look even more… mature now than they looked before in the original. They are supposed to be teenagers, right? Well, now they look solid 40+, compared to the original where they looked close to 30 😂 Sharp shading adds to this impression
The only guess I have regarding that is that it's to emphasize the satire of 30yo actors playing teenagers in movies. This whole game is based on movie clichés after all
WHAT!THERE IS AN UNTIL DAWN REMAKE SINCE WHEN??? and also why? Im still gonna watch tho
Since early October. They just want to remaster it for PS5. Addition, releasing for PC.
@@gerrylaksono1222 i see
Time to be scared shitless by the best game this developer has ever released for the second time!
@@MrPuddle01I personally found Man of Medan to be far scarier, at least the jumpscares got me much more than in this game.
@@cmdrmeldoc59 SPOILERS. the Wendigos are literally one of the scariest monsters I've seen in a game ever. This game has less jump scares but it scares you in other ways. The sheer terror that the wendigos have is insane! I watched Jack play Man of Medan and I never got scared but Until Dawn gave me night terrors for years. Sorry for the long response lol
The Beebus intro was the best thing ever.
Even after watching multiple playthroughs of this game in the last 10 years AND watching this live, I still watched it again now. I will never get tired of Until Dawn
Wow. After all these years, just now realizing how that is obviously Josh's voice on the answering machine as the detective.😅
Always happy to see Beebus in your videos. He’s such a cute kitty.
05:32 OK, cool, I am not alone in this either then. I watched someone else play the remake, and I was scared that it was just UA-cam compression and his settings, but the game was so dark the whole time! I sometimes couldn't see the rooms the characters were walking in because it's just *black.*
I was missing that OG lighting a lot.
The whole prank set up with the new music and new editing threw me off, haha!
I was not expecting it and honestly still don't know how to feel about it.
It’s cool, unexpected different prologue but it’s fun to revisit the story. Although I prefer blue color palette for both light and snow, feels cozier whenever you enter a building and you can fell the true ice behind the skin, but I guess they wanted more realism as a warm light illuminates snow different.
Why does this remake just look worse visually XD
Like the first one was a bit uncanny sure but the faces looked really good, here it looks like a game more
my heart exploded when bb tried to reach your face with his paw I'm gonna cry so cute T-T
54:51 never really occurred before, but given what sort of prank was played on Hannah and Beth, Josh’s insistence on Chris getting with Ashley is so painful, even though I doubt Chris or Josh know the specifics.
That is in addition to how awkward the way Josh says it is, which every player notices the first time around.
Sam: Did you see this view 😍
Me, looking at BB: Yeah 🥰🥰
Oof. My uncanny valley detector is going off so badly. All the characters look 10-15 years older than they did in the last game, where they actually looked late teens-early twenties at most. Now they all look at least 30. And their smiles are so creepy. They should have spent more time tweaking the faces to look less...creepy.
Hannah looks like the protagonist from Silent Hill: The Short Message and now I can't unsee it lmao
Jessica's shoulders look so abnormally narrow in the intro. Its like her head is a size too big for the neck and shoulders.
It at least looks a bit better when she has the jacket on later in the game.
Yepp I thought the same thing!!
Wow bodyshaming.
@@nikakhaiauri3478 wth are you talking about? Personally I’m talking about her abnormal physical change in prologue
Crazy that you checked Emily’s car as Sam and found the little bag of undies that Emily bought on Rodeo. I always wondered where Emily left her bag. Cool detail!
38:51 😂😂😂 caught me off guard with the goodest boi
the BEEBUS flashing kdhjqAKJSH
Started watching your channel when you played this for the first time so I’m loving it that you keep coming back to this game!
Welp, 😂 that was more uncanny valley than I wanted! 😂! Everything but the character models was gorgeous! We really didn’t need a remake of this yet though did we? I mean maybe when next gen comes out, maybe. But I still will always watch Evlyn play these kinds of games! I’m just waiting for another round of Fatal Frame ❤
Maybe instead of remaking this already good game, they should put their resources into making a new better game 😭
(Still always happy to watch a Gab playthrough)
the intro credits was really cool ngl i loved the symbolism of the characters and story
it looks like beebus is looking right at the cat cam 56:55 😂😂
when you talked about the thing with the judge : i would guess she had no actual evidence and you can't just hand out a restraining order "because she said so".
No, Supermassive Games did not do the remake. Sony owns it, and they had some kind of big falling out (which is why the Quarry was a spiritual successor, because they couldn't actually use any of the same assets from Until Dawn). Ballistic Moon did this one. I also don't like the style.
Thank you, I've been reading through the comments and it was annoying me that people keep saying "why did Supermassive remake this??"🤣 They didn't.
I think they probably shot/reshot the scenes in the prologue with different mocap actors and since they still used the original voice lines it made it look really unnatural adding additional uncanniness to the already uncanny valley lol
08:09 - Regarding the Quarry music, I had to re edit 7 times because 2k still haven't fixed their streamer friendly music issue, even after promising to fix it over 2 years ago lol XD I am so excited for your playthrough on this remake Gabs, Spoopy season is upon us hahaha =D
Thank you Gab for having the subtitles turned on. I am the type of viewer who prefers having subtitles in gameplays so that I can understand what the characters spoke.
Hannah being so excited to meet Mike that dhe changes her outfit and writes in her diary makes me sad. Yeah, cheating isn't good, but she's still a teen girl who finally got noticed by her crush, and she shouldn't have died for a poor moral choice.
Watching BB in your lap, it looks like he is the one playing the game LOL He's such a cutie.
It was just a prank Han!
38:50 had me dying omg, Beebus is the goodest boi
“Well this is America” the Canadian erasure 😭
Canada technically is in America lol
The whole setup before they embarrass Hannah was so unnecessary, the original felt more snappy and to the point, it feels like they trying to emulate The Quarry style in here and it doesn't work it feels dragged out.
but supermassive didnt do the remake? and supermassive owns the quarry?
I actually like the fleshed out intro. It gives it more of a movie vibe
I must say, I really enjoyed the addition of the kitten in the lap cam more than I had anticipated. :) Great video, Gab.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING on u to play this!!! 😍 my fave youtuber with my fave game. the glory of "just a prank, Han"! i was literally making dinner when i saw the little "just a..." on my screen and screamed the sentence, then laughed when it was correct hahaha. love yaaa, so exited!
Unlike the Silent Hill 2 remake which was brilliant, this "remake" on the other hand is downright disappointing. The new dev team seems to have missed the point of the original game.
Like the lighting is way off. Ruining the atmosphere. And the character models now look more fake under the new lighting. Uncanny valley galore.
They also changed the coloring from blue/black to a yellowish color for some weird reason.
The fixed camera angles of the original where there to make the point that you were playing a movie. Removing that in the remake, is again, missing the point or concept of what the OG devs had in mind.
They released a patch recently to fix a TON of issues with the game. And they are not even done with the fixes, according to the devs.
Many wonder if they just wanted to rush the game to be out before Halloween and to get people hyped about the upcoming movie based on the game.
I'm sure that Gab will enjoy this one, because its a fave game of hers. But I'll skip this playthrough. Not a fan of the unnecessary changes.
I've re-watched Gab's Until Dawn videos so many times. I'm excited to see her play the remake!!
I believe 'O Death' is a very old folk song and is in the public domain
There would still be a copyright on a specific recorded version of it, just like with pieces of classical music that are in the public domain.
I’m trying to put my finger on what it is I don’t like about the character models and I figured it out, they don’t look like the teens they’re supposed to be.
The excitement to replay/ re-watch this game again is nostalgic yet intriguing on what new updates will be. 🖤
Alright here we go!😁 looking forward to you playing this!
Edit: I agree though that I prefer the original game than the remake. The remake is alright, but the original game is just so iconic.
The BB introduction🤣
I *hated* the change in prologue. I don’t mind it being extended, but a lot of it felt 10x cringier than the original (especially the girls falling.) So far, the rest of it seems fine. I really don’t like the change in the totems, but it’s not game breaking to me. I do miss the O’death intro, however watching it on YT, I know it likely would’ve had to be changed anyway.
I’m glad to see you playing! And glad to see in the community post they you’re feeling herter
Love the added details and extra scenes but they should’ve kept the darkness of the original, it’s so bright she didn’t even needed the phone/flashlight to see things
Loved the beebus intro 😂
As someone who missed the original, I'm happy this got a remake solely because it means I get to experience this really popular game as a current Gab let's play. 😄Not to knock watching older play-troughs, but there's just something special and nice about watching videos as they come out and having to wait for the next part. 💖(It's funny because I never liked that with cable TV, but I think because YT videos start whenever I choose I can appreciate "non-bingeable" spaced-out content nowadays.)
ok
I was taking a drink from my tea when Gabs made that slurping sound and then almost choked from laughing 7:08
i was SO excited to see this in your play through lineup!! love watching you!! ✨
38:51 BEEBUS: the goodest boi
i've been holding off on watching any videos on this because i knew you would deliver thank you queen
I agree with you on your feelings on the game. The original had such a classic vibe to it that made it feel so much more oldschool and unique
5:50 The way I gasped when I saw the Shrines album cover! Such a perfectly eerie moody album and such a time capsule for when the OG game came out 🥹
After having a blast watching your Silent Hill 2 Remake gameplay, i have to admit that this remake doesn't work well tbh. The animation and some scripts just don't add up to my expectations. I like how you keep playing it and trying to be more objective here tho. I appreciate it, gab
Until Dawn holds a special place in my heart! I used to watch Markiplier play it during my study hall hour in high school and have to stop myself from gasping at the jumpscares. I love that they remastered it, and I love that Gab is playing
wait did your editor have to add all the music themselves?? they absolutely NAILED the vibes each time, great job!!!
For sure, do you know what they played for the prank scene? I love the song
@@TownsendReddish i dont im sorry, but gab has a link to the music resource in the description!
At 14:25 if you go frame by frame or pause at the right time, the sister on the left doesnt have a head at first...
i’m not sure if it’s improved with patches since release but this game seems weirdly buggy (snow texture on fences, missing models, don’t move prompt bug, etc.) feels kinda unfinished
Jess looks like a kid drew her but they all looks horrible. Anybody who says this is an improvement is fooling themselves.
Sam's model went cross eyed when the cable car started moving. This doesn't bode well for the character model animations IMO. They don't seem to interact with other objects and each other's models quite as neatly as before. Strange that the animal animations looked better in the old one, since they didn't have to capture that.
freaking adore the music the editors replaced- it fits so well!!
Feels like the orginal only came out a couple years ago, excited to watch Gab play the remake. Had no idea they were making one.
59:00 "i dunno this is america" she says as she reads from a newspaper titled The Alberta 😂 /lh
