The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter Comes First To Consoles With PS4
Long awaited occult horror/mystery game The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is hitting the Playstation 4 console first, according to Sony from their Gamescom press conference.
Developer The Astronauts founder Adrian Chmierlarz explained the decision in a blog post;
"Because Sony has been incredibly supportive and pro-active in making sure that happens, it's as simple as that, really."
The PC version remains unaffected, and launches in a few weeks with the PS4 version slated to hit in 2015.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is described as a first-person story-driven mystery game that revolves around exploration and discovery. The story and aesthetic mixes pulp and horror into a video game detective thriller inspired by the likes of H.P. Lovecraft. There is no combat. It's less about pure terror and more about "clammy unease".
