Game is great but it really runs like crap on PS4... lots of freezing from time to time and it just crashed between one day and another. Sucks that I turned autosave off and lost half an hour of progress.
Either way, story is quite interesting so far.
Really disappointing.
I can deal with the occasional stuttering but if crashing is going to cause me to lose progress, I'm going to have to wait for a patch. Really sucks.

Yikes....yeah I think I will just get the theme for now after reading more and more about the PS4 version. Hope they can fix some of it...

Same happened to me, had to reload save for it to go away.
Is there some chug on the PS4? Yea it chugs a bit here and there but doesn't haven't affect my ability to play the game so I'm enjoying it a lot. If this was an action game I'd have more of it issue.
Still loving the game so far though.

I caved and still bought it on the PS4. I have been waiting for months for this one.
Those first 10 minutes. Damn. Instantly got me hooked.

God fucking dammit, and here I was all set to buy it and give them my money on PS4...but yet again, another console version of a game that I want that runs like crap. I'm really getting tired of this.
See my reply above on this page, make sure you update the controller and most importantly select Gamepad in the Settings Menu. Had your same issue till I did those things.

I wonder how much of an impact streaming has on sales for a short story game like this. Over 130k watching on Twitch right now with around 17k people playing on Steam.
I bought it anyway as I have been eagerly awaiting the game since it was first announced.
It's not right that they released it like this though, could have at least delayed or something...
I'm on PS4. The performance honestly isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but maybe that's because I turned off autosaving so I'm not getting bad stuttering. It's not good by any means, but not enough not to deter any of the experience for me.
All I know is it's prob going to take more than 5-6 hours if you like exploring and taking in the environment. Loving it so far.

Finished the first two days, and I'm enjoying it so far. The visual style is nice and the dialogue is really well written. I don't think I would have enjoyed it without the dialogue, though.
A couple of stutters on my rig, but nothing to serious. Fortunately, the game is very slow paced.

Excellent so far, really engrossed. But I'd recommend not playing it off the back of COD, the frame rate really sticks out (PS4) and I've just hard crashed my PS4 loading day 33 that not even the power button works

You guys and girls are making me feel better about my Firewatch PC purchase. I really wanted on PS4 too.

Yeah, I notice the stuttering often though but I'm still enoying the game. Only crashed once so far, I expect that doesn't happen again. I'm going to finish the game anyway, in fact if the story is good I might play it more than once.
The pop-in sucks, yes. Even on the highest settings, it constantly draws in things ten feet in front of you.
This game has a really simple compass, relatively speaking: When the arrow on your compass is pointing up just like the arrow on your map, you're facing north! At that point everything to the west is to your left, everything to the east is to your right, and everything to the south is behind you.
There's already an update for the pc version. I have to go to the supply drop and just ran into a graphical issue (shadows kept flickering). Exiting and reloading, seeing if that helps.
I'm loving the mood of the game. Talking on the walkie talkie while the sun sets and the music is playing... magical.

I know a few people have asked, so I thought I'd drop in and say that this game runs pretty bad on PS4, seems to be an unlocked 60fps with lots of stuttering, and when combined with the even worse controls it doesn't feel good to play at all. There's some crazy fast camera acceleration when looking horizontally, the default sensitivity is way too low, and looking vertically feels like the character's head ways a ton. It's a shame how many developers overlook camera controls. Especially when they seem to put so much effort into everything else.
I think I'm gonna wait for the patch before I continue. For most people I'm sure the things I've stated aren't a big issue and the game is completely playable, but I thought I'd give a heads up to the people who are sensitive to shit like this.
(Auto-save was turned off)

Just played the first two parts on PS4, the game is really beautiful and the use of the handheld radio is genius.

Great game so far ,but the performance on PS4 is well,disturbing. Fingers crossed they can fix this.
It is to a level that I wonder how did they decide to release it like this.

It's happening on PC too?
I think the freezes on PS4 are on the automatic saving parts.
Did anyone found the
Old Barn (or something like that, up in the hill) and unlocked the Racoon Carter story? I wonder if the game hints at supernatural elements.

It does in my experience, yes. A lot of pop-in in places(especially open places) Game still looks great, though.
Anyone know if the game supports Steam could saves? Thinking about installing it on my Surface just for kicks.

Games was an instant buy the first time I saw it at E3 but I became hesitant yesterday because of the reviews. That PS+ discount changed the game though, downloading now!

I had never heard of this game until today. I've been popping in and out of Lirik's stream today, but I decided to stop because I'm interested in playing this myself now. I think I saw a minor spoiler, but hopefully it's not enough to ruin it for me.
I might have to pick this up very soon.
