Until Dawn Prototype, TimeSplitters 4 & Xash3D Port

I've added three new releases to the site – two rare PS3 prototypes and a homebrew port of a classic engine.

Until Dawn Prototype

Before it became a PS4 horror hit, Until Dawn was originally developed for PlayStation 3 with PlayStation Move support. A Beta version was unveiled at Gamescom 2012. As development continued, Supermassive Games reworked the game into a PS4 exclusive, with many mechanics changing between the initial Beta and the 2015 launch.

TimeSplitters 4 Prototype

A prototype build of TimeSplitters 4, dated 7 November 2008, for PlayStation 3. A rare glimpse into what could have been.

Xash3D Port by Mayo1970
