The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan Gameplay | Co-Op Horror Walkthrough And Impressions
126The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan is the first horror game in the Dark Pictures anthology. In this co-op gameplay we attempt to stay alive while a second player bungles important decisions - this Man of Medan gameplay takes place about an hour into the game, so join us for some spooky fun. Thanks to Logitech G and the G432 7.1 Surround Sound gaming headset for sponsoring this video. Check out the tech behind the G432 over on the Logitech G site: http://bit.ly/2FkTkbi
The Man of Medan release date is the end of August so we’ve not got too long to wait before we can fully explore a bit more of the game. This isn’t a full The Dark Pictures Man of Medan review - it’s just early Man of Medan impressions based on a short amount of hands-on time. We will have a Dark Pictures review at release - if anyone on the video team can stomach it - so for now you’re going to have to put up with these early impressions and this early preview. The key thing about this Man of Medan gameplay is the new mode you can see.
Shared Story mode is a new online Man of Medan co-op mode that is here to allow you to experience horror in a whole new way. There’s also Movie Night mode, which we briefly touch on, but don’t explore - which is couch Dark Pictures co-op for up to five people, all using one controller. You’ll see a whole load of Shared Story mode here, but that’s still only one side of the story. With these new gameplay modes, The Dark Pictures Anthology will to lead to so many different outcomes from so many different pairings, or… fivings? Of people.
This Man of Medan gameplay focuses on a pretty rough evening for our five main characters before they even know what their real fate is going to be. But it’s still a key time to start shifting traits around for each character and sorting out, or ruining, relationships that were pre-existing before you came along and started controlling these poor humans. One of the best things is deciding on your own character arcs, and deciding if you want them to redeem themselves, or become the worst versions of themselves. Oh, and get a load of graphics in The Dark Pictures Man of Medan gameplay - even captured on PS4, this is pretty neat stuff.
