Hi,

I've got some update on Bound's camera patch.
Unfortunately due to various events we missed our December spot and because of Xmas break at Sony we should exit from FormatQA in the beginning of January. Expect the update around second week of January . Sorry for that....
But to leave you with some good hopes for that patch, here's the teaser video that I assembled today:

I think it's worth to wait a bit more . Also the demo will be released together with that patch!

This has probably been stated over and over, but it's insane how good this looks (playing on a Pro) and sounds. Top notch. Controls feel great, too - I was a tad worried that the elaborate animations might have had an effect on the responsiveness but I was glad to be proven wrong. I only just started playing, but this is great.

Awesome. I bought Bound a few weeks back but have been waiting on the VR changes I heard were coming down the line.

The new camera options are fantastic!

I can't decide between VR and "2D" mode on this game.

Has anyone done both? Any recommendations?

Well that was amazing. Just finished it in VR. The art, animation and music were incredible. I hadn't been spoilt on the story and it took a couple of levels to figure out what was going on.

Now to buy the soundtrack. Did it ever get released on vinyl?

Edit: iam8bit have it up for preorder, looks like that's not happening.

Double Edit: The vinyl is only 10 tracks. Double pass. Off to Itunes I go.

Bought this and last guardian, combined for 33 euro... Good times! I love these sales.
I started up bound for a few minutes and already know that I'm going to love it. Dat piano

I remember watching a video regarding the way they did their 4k implementation, with sharp edges and up-ressed polygons, and something tells me it was from Digital Foundry, but I can't find it right now

- Does anyone have a link?

I took my time with Bound in VR and I'm so glad I did. When the

choice was given

my eyes started to swell up. When the credits rolled and the music played, I had to remove the headset because I was crying too hard to see.

Bravo, Plastic. You've really outdone yourselves.

This game spoke to me in a very profound way. From a design perspective and an emotional one as well. It's not something I think I will ever forget. Such a strong reminder of why I love video games.

If you haven't picked up this game and it interests you at all, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. Especially if you can play it in VR. I am ready and willing for whatever Plastic does next.

(still hoping for a PSVR version of Datura )
