Gravity Rush 2 demo is live
- Thread starter bombshell
- Start date
It's basically another Overwatch versus Battleborne.
I don't know why people are comparing the games in the first place. Because they have demos that release on the same day doesn't mean we should be comparing apples to oranges here.
Back to the topic of the GR2 Demo, the map gives quite a bit of freedom exploration wise. I got to this other floating city on the far right of the map and after a few steps inside I had to turn back.
Very decent play area just for this one mission, which is great.
I've lowered my expectations after playing the demo. 30fps instead of 60 kind of breaks the experience for me, movement isn't as snappy and flying around doesn't feel as fantastic as in GR:R. The game looks nice, sounds great and the combat seems like a step up when compared to the original but I didn't enjoy playing this as much as the remaster.
Oh and the camera doesn't seem as smart as it was in the original, it kept getting stuck in the ground and clipping through walls for me (maybe it wasn't THAT bad but it did happen more than a couple of times).
Can't wait to see the final build.

Not my fault if both demos came today.
I mean The Last Guardian combat is shit when you compare to Dead Rising 4.
Maybe because one is focused on combat and the other isn't.
GTA driving is bad compared to Forza also.
Lmao Jesus.
I agree that would be like comparing Gravity Rush 2 to Nier automata

I'm big on FPS and personally, this was a non issue for me.
I played GR:R yesterday and the Nier demo right before this one. Was able to pick up and get right in and didn't mind the 30 at all.
I think it's because of how massive of a step up it is from GR:R in every possible metric visually (FPS aside) that it felt fine and natural.
The world alone is so incredible detailed with so many NPCs walking around, not to mention the physics when you start floating around on smaller stuff like food and plates. It's crazy.
It's not that bad. I have the Remaster as well, and that shit is crisp. There are frame drops however in combat when the screen gets busy with debris and whatnot. But it's an earlier build from E3, and the devs reported further optimization and that there's a PS4 Pro patch in the works too. I hope it gets 60FPS because I need it.

The main character animation are certainly not the same as before.
As for the control are inaccurate , i disagree even considering this is the very very old E3 build and it has been shown several times that those small bugs are not there anymore.
Controls are clunky ? i fail to see what you were expecting , especially if you've played the vita game or the remaster

Am I crazy in thinking this is the best looking PS4 game I've ever played? Both tech and art combine to make one pretty ass looking game.
Those animations are godlike.

20-40 hours.
this is a joke right?
For one, it's a demo - there's barely any 'cutscenes' to examine anyways. The demo constantly cuts in and out of events to place you directly into one situation to another. Are you complaining they aren't showing a fully animated cutscene just to talk to that one dock worker? It's not like when Raven cuts in near the end of the demo, she's relegated to a text bubble.
Though honestly the fact you accused the game of 'clearly' using the Vita game's animations just sort of tells me you weren't fully paying attention to what was going on in the demo anyways.
Moreover suggesting that a decision to depict most major story developments through consistently well-drawn comic panels misses the point entirely. GR deliberately evokes comic books. So you know, it makes sense that it tells a lot of its' story through comic panels. Turning that around to accuse the game of being 'cheap' for that is ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure your complaint about the controls has already been addressed, but much like how liberally you use 'low-budget', 'glitchy' is another basically worthless term used to describe basically nothing. Accusing something of being 'glitchy' is to accuse it of being fundamentally broken, which it... really is not. You disliking the feel of it or being unable to wrap your head around it doesn't really justify the accusation.
And if you bothered to read the thread I think you'd have already been informed that this build is based on an early demo and the final is supposed to be much more improved as far as frame-rate goes.
'C-tier game' lmao sure
I mean, is that so crazy? To say "just played the GTA demo straight after Forza, and I really struggled with the driving because of it. Feels so simplistic."
Is that unfair? Because I'm not convinced.
Nope. From what the director said it'll be about 20-40 hours to beat.
god I hope this isn't true. I liked how tight and compact the first one was
Map is 2.5 times larger, three times amount of missions.

This one has the entire city of the first game and many new areas .. feel like the gravity storm near the city is gone so you can move from area to area ..it's a much bigger game.
It might even be possible that we visit "that place" so who knows how big the game trully is.
ugh, that sounds awful
Of course not.
I'd personally take the trade of framerate for visuals in this case. The game is damn pretty and I really like the vibrant colors, especially compared toGravity Rush 1.Nier
They also need something they can remaster on PS5.

Yeah
YES
Since only 3 games are less simplistic than forza series on the ENTIRE market , so if you compare forza to a game not even in the same game category , it's certainly unfair to everyone involved.
Nier at 120fps.
I just hope it all feels substantial and not padded for longevity's sake

Okay, so I wasn't just imagining things. Shooting felt a lot easier in this game.

The worst thing about Gravity Rush is that there wasn't enough Gravity Rush. You had your compact GR on the Vita, but for this PS4 outing, I want ALL the content, ALL the goofy side missions, ALL the outfits, ALL the collectables.

It's a short but sweet demo. Day 1.

What didn't you like about the demo?

As someone who spent upwards of 15-20 hours just flying around in GRR, the halved frame rate is big, as I feared it would be. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but the falling mechanic absolutely sings at 60fps. Fingers crossed the Pro version will bring the goods. Considerable step up in every other department, though. Especially Kat's animations.

Nier is one of my most anticipated games of 2017... but its fanbase is already getting annoying.
"Oh you liked Forza Horizon 3?... well Nier plays better"
"My brother wanted to play Tropical Freeze, but I couldn't get into it because the combat is so much worse than in Nier"
Lol I hadn't.
Just did right now. It's kinda badly explained. I interpreted it as exper mode just not showing tutorials, not that it was like half of the demo.
Both modes are really enjoyable, specially asuming that in the final games you get more moves and abilities with these 2 modes. Lunar in particular is really fun

To do the forward glide from standing while in lunar mode (from that popular gif), you have to push forward on the stick just before hitting x

For sure, I loved them on the Vita. The touchscreen controls never jived well with me but Ioved using gyro to fine tune Kat as she hurtled through the air.
Absolutely, the physics and destruction are amazing, plus just how good stasis is now, you can put it to good use (hope you get a good haul on Christmas btw to post about in the comics ot my man)

Wait, how do you use the lunar/jupiter modes?
Choose expert course at the start of the demo.

You get access to them in the expert course.

Lol I get the feeling peeps are missing the OT where it mentions that beginner and expert have different content.
Part of me wonders how some of the reactions might not just be from checking out Experienced. It doesn't make it clear at all you only actually see any of the new mechanics without using it, and context makes it seem like it's just deciding whether or not you'd like a tutorial.
If there's anything really silly about the demo, it's that. Beginner is just a rehash of the tutorial from GR1. I can see people playing and feeling like it's not much of a leap forward.

Sounds great.
Any Pro enhancements? Might be supersampled, the game looks incredibly crisp.

Thanks guys. I had it on expert mode but did everything except a touchpad swipe.
