A new developer diary for The Dark Pictures: Little Hope is here to show off how things are improved upon for Little Hope to better fit
If you were on the edge of things for The Dark Pictures before, you might be brought in all the way for Little Hope as it looks like Supermassive Games is going to mix things up a bit for this one. not always the best thing to do in a game that is supposed to be based each in the same gaming universe. Here for The Dark Pictures: Little Hope it looks like they are addressing a few issues from Man Of Medan and making the controller scheme fit the new world we are going to be in. All of which is shown off in the latest developer diary for the game still slated for this Summer on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
One of the first big things we are going to see in Little Hope is that we will have more camera control in this story than we did before. Something that makes sense, as this is an open area we are in and Man Of Medan was in a very claustrophobic environment for most of the game. It does raise the question of how they are going to handle some of the shock scares mixed in, but it looks like there is a plan for that too. Given that they are also making it easier to know when there is something to interact with in Little Hope and when you succeed at a QTE too. Both things that were not hard to do before, just a bit inconvenient for me.
In addition to all of that, it looks like Little Hope will be taking place in three different time periods for the story. Most of which will be around the college students in the present, but also during the puritanical burning times and the 1970s for some reason. Given all of the inspirations for the game here, it makes a bit more sense. It just seems like it could be a bit jarring if you are not ready for it. Have a look at the latest for The Dark Pictures: Little Hope just below and see all of the things that I am talking about here. You should not be overly let down by it at all.
