The Quarry's Movie Mode Lets You Beat the Game without Pressing a Button

Maybe when I'm drunk.

the more I'm seeing this game, the more I think its going to be really good, supermassive is a great studio that does great work. I guess we will have to see on this one.

Sounds like a fantastic idea, not sure how many times i'll use it though

Interesting. Easy plat in movie mode? Lol

In some way a nice idea but has nothing to be with being a video game together anymore.

Ok... so this actually meets the criteria of the term "Movie Game" that so many trolls have given to Playstation exclusives. Usually the games don't deserve it but for this one... I'll allow it.

This could be really awesome for Halloween night. I might save it for October.

I remember some PS4 zombie port having a streaming mode that let audience make the game harder or easier.

It would be cool if this game has a mode where it let Twitch/YouTube/streaming viewers make the selections by vote.

This is exactly what gaming needed. Tv tv tv… the prophecy is full filled

@lolwhatno Have you actually played any of these games?

The difference between watching a movie and playing this genre is massive. In Until Dawn, you could get the characters you controlled killed. So if you chose to go left instead of right, they could literally die. When you watch a movie, you have zero control over what happens. I found the experience 1000x more frightening, because I was in the middle of the action, affecting the outcome, whereas in a movie, you're just watching passively.

@Cutmastavictory irony if there is a trophy that means you need to watch it in movie mode just to get a trophy.

If that were the entire game and as a gamer you had zero input, then yeah, it wouldn't be a video game. But if it's an additional option, I don't see the harm. It's something you could watch after you beat the game. The complaints here are silly.

Surprised about the backlash...I mean, most games are a "gimme" anyway, in terms of beating them. Like you don't actually have to be good at games anymore since leveling-up systems make it so you can just be bad over and over until you win. I mean, you're not going to impress anyone saying you've beaten a game, not even Elden Ring (again, the leveling-up stuff).

Not a bad Idea for end game content to be able to put the game on a shelf with your movies. I guess people have got to the point they cant say no thanks to a option. Maybe they are just looking for something to say bad about everything.

Very interested in this title

Does this game have free PS5 upgrade?

I hope they can still incorporate that jump scare camera mode too! It was great watching us jumping at the game after we played it

Starting to think Supermassive should just make movies lol i do buy games to play even if the gameplay is minimal.

If you can platinum the game withy touching a buttom bet this gonna sell really well

Not a fan of CGI in the movies

I personally think this mode should be locked at the start of the game and only be unlocked after the player finishes the whole game.

Director's Chair is a fantastic idea, I'm in. I never replay these games, so this gives me an entertaining way to see sequences I missed.

Reminds me of the times when you'd leave a game on the main menu, and in a minute....it'd just start playing itself. And I don't see how this is a problem, especially for those who might have already finished the game. I'd like to go back and replay Until Dawn with different choices, but I'd be more likely to if I could just sit back and enjoy it without input, cause it can be stressful. This is good.

@Throb I had it on, but also the lights off to be more immersed, so whenever it captured something, it was too dark. Tried playing with the lights on, but it wasn't as fun.

Definite buy for me. Loved Until Dawn. If its anything like that, i'll enjoy playing this with the Mrs at night

I love this idea. I wish more games did it. I would definitely watch TLoU movie mode.

@Uncharted2007

Except this game isn’t PlayStation exclusive lol 😅

Thats cool but playing the game and make your own decisions is a blast.and oh yeah.until dawn was and still is amazing.the quarry looks to be the same as until dawn and that is fine by me.word up son

A movie that costs $70? what is this a disney 4k blu ray with DVD copy, and digital download that expired 2 years ago?

@PlayStationGamer3919 @ScottyG - Yep, but the trolls had put the term exclusively on Playstation exclusives instead of using it correctly. The only games I'd have otherwise deemed movie games were also multiplat... the FMV games of the 90s on systems like 3DO and Sega CD.

• Sewer Shark
• Corpse Killer
• Supreme Warrior
  Etc...

Imagine spending $70 just to watch this game like a movie…..

Might be a cool feature, but it's not an option that I'd ever use. For me, much of the appeal of these kinds of games is that it's your decisions that'll affect who lives and dies.

@RocketRaja Most players will muck around with it for 20 minutes then not touch it again. It's a fun, weird little extra, not the end times. Kind of like how you'd imagine playing an FPS with God mode and unlimited ammo would be the funnest thing ever, but actually it's not. I don't see anything wrong with story-focussed games doing something like this. If it gets more fans of SM games, then that's only a positive.

That's an expensive film

nice one il do this when i cleared it a few times. still love my last play through of house of ashes. been playing these type games since heavy rain on the ps3.

@danzoEX people spend that much on steel book edition of movies.

@Cutmastavictory it prob disables trophies

These are interactive move's they are not game's in my opinion. The story will make or break interactive move's like this.

@danzoEX Good thing that I won't be spending $70. At most it'll cost me $50...

Sounds like it'll be the most expensive movie ever for whoever uses that option.

@lolwhatno then it'd be best to actually play to see for yourself why watching it passively on YouTube feels nothing like playing it.

@banacheck not even close to an in interactive movie.

Watching the preview video, I was actually quite surprised how little interactive input existed in the first place. The gameplay showed so far was pretty light — occasionally make a binary decision, hit a quick simple button QTE every so often, etc. I don’t mind walking sims, visual novels, Telltale style choice and consequence games, etc, but a movie mode has certainly taken it to the extreme. But it’s purely an optional mode. People can still play it and make their own choices, which is what I’ll do if/when I get it. I really liked Until Dawn.

I'm glad they are adding this as an option. I'm someone who loves these game, but they're a bit too 'spooky' for my taste so I never end up finishing them. I also don't like watching other people play through a game, so just watching a video without commentary is a no go. Plus these games are normally super well made so I don't mind paying the price for it.

So I can play it for free by watching a "lets play"

@HeeHo I'm sure SHN will have the 4K no commentary version up pretty quick.

The games Supermassive and Quantic Dreams make are amazing, this is why genres are important. Not everything needs to be open world or mission/hub based. This is why people like 'interactive movies', because they don't require massive skill and focus. You can just sit back and enjoy what the developers intended.
