Cannot wait, everything I've seen just looks incredible. Starting from the 28th of Feb to when Mass Effect releases on the 21st might be the sickest 1 month stretch of gaming yet, including Nioh on the 7th.


Pre-ordering doesn't allow access to the game any sooner than the 28th?

 

[Equanimity]

So this is insane detail... ants... that move... on a tree, in an open world... BRICKS SHAT! The game didn't zoom in on that to show me, I just used the camera to cause I wanted a tree close up.

Is that during gameplay? Wow.

 

[SlasherJPC]

Amazing detail, what are you playing on?

Wow

I hope details like this are on standard PS4

Wait, does the photo mode still simulate things like trees and foliage moving around?

PS4 Pro, 4k TV. As for the photomode, it still shows all details as far as I can tell. The ants were not moving while I moved the camera closer, but in game they are moving around and about.

 

[onemanasylum]

I cannot wait. This game and Mass Effect pushed me over the edge into getting both a few weeks back.

It's worth it imo, if you are a big gamer.

Gonna have to put that in the OT now.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Is there ambient music playing while freeroaming? Think Assassin's Creed II or Brotherhood.

There is a pre access attached to pre orders confirmed by the director but he is not sure of the date exactly.

I will check this thread later with all the impressions and stills and Some

Spoiler

Cauldron gameplay

 

[SlasherJPC]

Its needs to be on the box. WE GOT ANTS.

Also for reference this was the tree I was standing by before I noticed. You can see them carrying the leaves.

Wait what? I haven't heard anything about this. Pre access on pre orders?

Track them down to their nest! ha

How's the HDR? Is it The Witness/FFXV tier? What set do you have btw? Thanks

 

[vivekTO]

@dejongemathijs @zBLACKLINEz You can play the game on the 27th if you pre-order it from the PS store?

Mathijs de Jonge

@DobbyPotterPS4 @zBLACKLINEz early access yes, but can't say how early, that fluctuates.

i'll leave now.

 

[SilverBullet]

As I stated, hours of preview coverage and impressions are out there, maybe research about a game before posting about it?

It's an impression thread. I thought it would be a good place to ask, to the folks you are playing the game, about some points that after seeing some trailers and previews I was still confused about.
I don't get why you and some others get so triggered about it and just try to ridicule my questions and opinions.

Thanks to the guys/gals you actually tried to answer. Appreciated.

I'll looking forward to more details from The Lamp .

It would be Kojima level if you could track the ants to their anthill.

Man this game makes me crave a Pro.

 

[Mifune]

How is the variety in the missions? Like is it all go here, kill this, or are there some missions ala Witcher where there is no combat / light combat and heavy dialogue?

 

[ajanke]

i'll leave now.

is he just referring to those that get to play it at 11pm and 9pm bc of the time difference on midnight release?

I basically took this same picture, lol.

OMG, sublime attention to detail.

 

[X-Frame]

i'll leave now.

So it depends where you live? Because GG is many hours ahead of me in New York so possibly I can get access at like 7 PM on the 27th?

 

[Crash331]

Anyone have one of those mass produced Gentle Giant figures? I am thinking of getting the CE since I can get it from best buy for around $70. If that figure is pretty cool, it may be worth it.

More like The Witcher according to Wesker.

post it so we can compare!

Samsung ks9500 and seems really good from what I can tell.

Yup

No one would bother rendering ants if they weren't important so, ant-apocalypse confirmed.

Beautiful pictures!
You run the game on the PS4 Pro by chance? I have been asking a couple of times but the others, who already got the game, didn't answer yet:
How is the anisotropic filtering in the Pro version. Recent screens, that I saw of the standard PS4 version, seem to suggest there's no good texture filtering enabled. There were blurry textures at oblique angles and in the distance. GG said they wanted to improve that on the Pro. Did they manage to do it?

I agree. People need to chill. Never,ever forget:videogames are serious business.

Nice impressions, this game looks fun.

Yes on pro but honestly, don't know.

 

[SlasherJPC]

For others playing, is there any way to remove the mission tracker/current mission icon? Can't seem to find the option.

I don't think I have ever seen this particular detail in a game.

 

[Tyaren]

Yes on pro but honestly, don't know.

Well, do the ground textures look blurry to you a few feet away or do the ground textures remain crisp?
Could you maybe make a couple of screens? They would just have to show ground textures (without grass or other foliage) from a normal point of view.

 

[Beefy]

don't be lazy, read the thread

I'm not going to read 19 pages. I read the first quotes, but was asking if any one else had a opinion.

 

[Skux]

I have no idea if this is gameplay people have already seen because I didn't watch media for this game in the past year, but here it is. I'm not the most elegant player lol. I even accidentally detonated my own trap. But here's the fun. No real story spoilers. Just a special first type of combat/encounter. Quote.

Damn that is a throwdown. Even the

Spoiler

mount

gets in on the action.

 

[NowhereFaded]

I guarantee I haven't and I've been gaming for 30 got damn years! This game is absolutely bananas!!

Looking crisp actually.

No one else has the game.

The people in the OP were lucky enough to get a very early copy.

It's an Action RPG....

i was just going by his words

 

[ironcreed]

Indeed. The fact that they even stopped to add in such details is a pretty good indicator of the love that went into crafting this game. It is looking like a masterpiece.

 

[texhnolyze]

These are very much non spoiler , just some thoughts by the Poster. So you can check it out without spoiling anything , but i put it in the tags anyway.

Some derpy facial expressions and wooden movement? Hmm..

 

[More_Badass]

Will love to hear more about more machine ecosystem interactions out in the wild, if you've encountered any more. Was the moment with the machine scooping up a dead machine's loot seen again?

 

[SlasherJPC]

The music is great. Oh man. I'm still super early so not much else to say yet. I'm getting there.

 

[Musician655321]

Will love to hear more about more or any machine ecosystem interactions out in the wild

I came across a group of Striders (four legged dog bots) chillin in a pond drinking it up earlier

It just started raining for the first time. LOOKS DAMN GOOD.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Can anyone confirm or deny that the ants are in the ps4 version? Interested to see how much of an upgrade the pro version really is!

Loving the impressions so far.

 

[pezzie]

That ant thing is one of the most insane things that doesn't need to be in a game but I am so glad it is.

Never mind I answered my question by reading. lol

Need that Oprah gif with her screaming "Ants!" instead of "Bees!"
