A list of features for The Casting Of Frank Stone is finally here as we see more of what Frank Stone will be up to in the game
From all that we have seen for The Casting Of Frank Stone so far, it looks like it is going to be a fairly standard affair that we get from Supermassive Games. Not in a basic way, but more along the lines of getting the solid gameplay experience and storytelling they have been known to give. That said, it does look like when September 3rd hits us all and we get to see what Frank Stone is up to out there on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, we are going to have a few more features and things to play around with in the game. Some new and some old. All of which we had a solid showing of out of Gamescom this year.
For those who enjoy playing their video games with others, The Casting Of Frank Stone is going to be giving us many options to do that. Just like their other titles, this one will have a couch co-op mode to pass the controller for different characters as well as a Twitch add-on that will allow viewers to vote on choices. Choices that the player will have a few chances to veto if they want, but that could stir up the crowd more. Thankfully, there will also be a “cutting room floor” mode in The Casting Of Frank Stone that will allow us to go back to each of the hard choices and play things out if the other choice was made. That way we can keep the fans happy but also be able to see the story we want at a later point. Some solid features to have in here once again.
The Casting Of Frank Stone — Features
Cutting Room Floor
Step into the director’s chair and revisit key story decisions, seek out missing collectibles, or relive your favorite moments without having to start a new game. Unlock the Cutting Room Floor by purchasing the Deluxe Edition or completing The Casting Of Frank Stone for the first time.
Twitch Integration
Streamers and viewers alike can experience The Casting Of Frank Stone together. With a Twitch Integration feature, viewers can vote on each choice throughout the game. Streamers will have a limited number of vetoes to override a decision, should they disagree with the audience’s choice.
Plunderer’s Instinct
Plunderer’s Instinct, which shares a name with a Dead By Daylight Survivor Perk, highlights the aura of any Trinket Chest you might have missed. With the simple press of a button, the aura of all nearby Trinket Chests will be revealed. Unlock this feature for your first playthrough by pre-ordering, or unlock it by completing the game.
8 MM Camera Feature
What would a filmmaker be without their camera? When our characters find themselves stalked by an invisible presence, players can use the 8 MM camera lens to observe their supernatural pursuer – if they dare.
Couch Co-Op
Share the experience with Couch Co-op, which allows up to 4 friends to play through The Casting Of Frank Stone together in one room. Pass the controller back and forth as the character perspective changes throughout the game.
The Casting Of Frank Stone will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on September 3rd.
I will say that it is a little odd to list some of the features in The Casting Of Frank Stone as something special when they are just part of the core gameplay. Things like finding the collectibles, the Plunderer’s Instinct, and the 8mm Camera feel like they will be things we need to use in the game if we want to make it through and not just other options on how to play. Maybe this is to distract that it does not look like The Casting Of Frank Stone will have an online co-op option to play with friends, beyond the Twitch part. Some of us like to have that shared movie night feel and it is odd to not have it in this one. Maybe at a later date or it could be slipped in via something else that is not fully fleshed out as of yet. We will see here in a few weeks it would seem.
Are you excited to see all of this play out with Frank Stone here and will you be looking to play with friends more than not? Will you look to play the game with votes never getting vetoed or will the Twitch community make you wish you had unlimited vetoes during your run? Will we see a full Movie Night mode in this game or will that stick to the other titles that the studio has to work on? Head on down to the comment section to discuss it all and everything else we have to offer up out there. More for The Casting Of Frank Stone is going to be on the way here, so please keep on checking back for all of those updates and the many others we have in the works for you.
