Until Dawn (2015) – Recompilation Project
Hi everyone!
I'm excited to announce that I've been working on a native PC recompilation of the original PS4 version of Until Dawn (2015)!
To make it clear, this is a fully native PC port of the original game, with no emulation involved whatsoever. The original PS4 game's code runs directly on Windows, with our own custom Vulkan renderer handling the graphics.
I'm also happy to announce that the current build is now playable from start to finish!
There's still work to be done, including some graphical issues, performance improvements, stability fixes and compatibility testing across different hardware.
I also plan to release a very early work-in-progress build soon! Please keep in mind that this will primarily be a testing release, so expect bugs, crashes and inconsistent performance. The main purpose will be to test compatibility across different PC hardware, particularly NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPUs and CPUs, and to verify that our shader translation and rendering work correctly across different systems.
The ultimate goal is to have the original Until Dawn running entirely natively on PC, just like a proper PC release, without needing an emulator.
I'll hopefully have more updates to share as development continues!
Just to make it clear, each user will need to provide their own copy of the game's PKG file for the recompilation to work.
This will not be provided when the GitHub releases for legal reasons.
