The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man Of Medan
Sights And Sounds
Man of Medan, the first game in Supermassive's Dark Pictures Anthology, is still a bit of a question mark. While the game seems to take after Supermassive's criminally underrated Until Dawn, more information would definitely help bolster our excitement for the title. Thankfully, the developer and Bandai Namco are answering that request with a series of dev diaries.
The first dev diary focuses on the sound work in the game, arguably one of the most important parts of making a horror game. To get the sights and sounds of an old steel ship right, the team actually got the run of a real one and recorded all the various sounds they could amass.
The video also goes on to talk about the lighting in the game, trying to make sense of how to navigate the game world while both keeping it spookyand playable. Thus the team based lighting off occasional in-room light sources and light coming down in shafts through openings in the ceiling.
Man of Medan is scheduled for release in 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
