Wow, my PS4 just turned into a jet engine on the start screen with the curtains..will the rest of the game be this bad?


Edit: wait - does this only download 20GB, and then you have to be ingame for the rest?

Just testing. But man, Photo Mode massively increases the value of the game. Creating a perfect a shot just became a game on its own.

First time playing this game. Only about an hour and a half in but I'm enjoying this so, so much. Would love to keep playing if I didn't need sleep so badly.

Well i got it. Own the ps3 version also. It doesn't feel like a big difference. My main gripe was the weird AI of your companion..you try to be stealth, she starts shooting. You don't have any ammo, she takes 7 shots per enemy to kill.
Graphics wise, the stark difference between the models and the scenery is even clearer to me now. Shadow artifacting on models is also very clear. I guess it is just an aging engine that ND is using. Cinematics are wonderful..and then the game starts and your skin is bright orange. I understand that textures are configured to the static lighting of the environment and a color shader applies itself depending on where you are - so they had to find a sweet spot to make the skin look good in the dark..but dang. Damn you Destiny... you took it to the next level.

how do you know if everything has downloaded?
PS4 said yes... but the MP/DLC etc is not even on my Download List

and... do we enable Pre-Order Bonuses in the options or not?

One you manually download Campaign, Left Behind and the MP on the main menu (you'll see it) There's still about 20gb left which are downloading in the background. You can check the status of the download by using the options menu on the TLOU logo on PS4's home menu (where you check the updates history etc.) and clicking info. Right now I'm leaving my PS4 on stand by, hopefully I'll download the rest of the game once I wake up.

I haven't seen a single in-game shot in any of the threads that have shown this. What exactly do you mean?

This wasn't in my download list for some reason and had to search for it and then download, will I still get the preorder add on stuff?

And I chose to install SP first, if I don't boot up the game after that's done will it automatically download the MP after it?

I'm in work atm so can't check. Thanks.

Playing on Grounded mode. Not as tough as I was expecting. Finally went through the first tough part in Ch.2(you know the one). It took me about 4 tries. It just comes down to choosing a tactic and making a roadmap that's best suited for you. Still intense as shit, but definitely not impossible. Still haven't upgraded anything and had to change weapons with a clicker and runner on me. Totally possible. Anyone who played on survivor should give it a try, screw that NG+ glitch.

The part I highlighted, the orange skin. I'm not doubting that it happens, I just haven't seen it in any of the shots that people have shared.

ah sorry. I'll come back with some screenshots.

I think Destiny engine looks amazing. Very clever engine that scales quality and has a much more cohesive relationship between the lighting and the texturing.

So I'm about six hours in, playing on Survivor. Did Hard on PS3 so it's not so bad. One thing I've noticed is that if I go in stealthy, I don't get many ammo drops. Going in guns blazing generally yields more ammo (if I survive long enough to use it!)

That new game itch...

I've already played it and have no desire to buy and play it again, yet here I am. Hovering over the damn button on PSN.

The best way to do it. They fixed one of the issues I had with it, which was the subpar framerate, so it's gonna be a nice ride for you.

Ugh the download works stupid. I downloaded sp first. But known I have to stay in my usa account to download the mp as it does it in game. Means I can't play the sp while I wait as not on my main account.
Click to expand...
You don't have to stay signed into the account that started the download to continue to download it.

Unless this changed in the last two weeks or The Last of Us is different from 12 other games this is not the case.

the most amazing part for me as a brand new ps4 owner with the tlou remake is that the remote play works! Really well! I am glad ND did it right.

Automatic. You can check this on the game's page on the PS4 home screen by clicking "add-ons" as well. Should say you have 7. Any dlc bought on the PS3 has to be manually downloaded, however.

To be fair Destiny sacrifices in a lot of other aspects of game engine features to be able to afford higher image fidelity. So I am not really wanting to start comparisons. Very different games.

It's PBR. They do it well, but I still think other PBR games like Metal Gear and Star Citizen are much more impressive. It makes a huge difference though, games without it look like ass to me now...

The game looks pretty insane. Like... infamous levels of insane. I'd never have thought this is from a game. Was just walking around and the details blew me away.

they also have a really interesting technique for fading in objects in the distance. Killzone on Vita was the first time I noticed it and I guess it is in the other KZ games. It looks like objects materialize per pixel into view. Almost impossible to notice. I did see some model quality pop in on my ps3 though.

About the TLOU orange skin tone...I think I'll refrain from starting to post comparisons between skin shading of the prerendered movie and the game. Who cares. its different and not important.

I'm playing at 60fps, no doubt that's the only way to play it, but I tested 30fps and spotted missing shadows. Here's some screenshots.
