A little under 9. http://opencritic.com/game/2129/firewatch

Thank you.

 

[jacobeid]

Excellent thread title. Can't wait to play this tomorrow.

 

[Qassim]

I don't know much about this game, I saw a trailer a while back during some show, it looked cool and I like the premise.

At the price it currently is (£13.49 on steam) it seems like it is worth taking a chance on. I'm looking forward to it, going in mostly blind.

 

[carlsojo]

A+ for thread title.

Very nice OT!

I'd say this is the most hyped I've ever been for an Indie game. Played and enjoyed The Witness a few weeks ago but this feels a lot more up my street.

Looking forward to reviews - they come out in around 8 hours right?

Satire?, and not even remotely funny satire at that.

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

Finally, the answer to the age-old question will be answered tomorrow!

 

[kraspkibble]

eh for £13 i'm just gonna pick it up. for that price i won't really care if it sucks. if i can't get past the first 2 hours (i think it's 6 hours long?) then i'll just get a refund.

 

[itsbenoclock]

Just here for the Twin Peaks references tbh. Will be buying this dependant on reviews since it's quite short.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

dat title

 

[dark10x]

Yeah... about that. I'd imagine most ps4 reviews will comment on this.

So it's just as I suspected.

Man, I despise Unity. It has ruined so many games.

 

[Loomba]

Still not up to preorder on EU PSN, no idea why it takes them this long to put titles up.

 

[Surface of Me]

Clearly, and I found it humorous.

 

[Shifty]

From what i've seen of the game, it's shaping up to be An Open World Metroidvania Non-Combat Adventure Game.

Mystery, don't forget Mystery!

I read somewhere this won't be available to preorder on PSN.

 

[Klyka]

Any estimates on how long the game is?

 

[- J - D -]

Interesting that you invoke such a contentious part of Twin Peaks history for the Firewatch thread title. Fire Walk With Me is not considered by large majority to be good. But I'm probably reading too far into this.

 

[Hektor]

~ 6 hours according to the dev.

it fits the thread/game title. it's uttered in the tv series multiple times. the laura palmer portion of the movie is fantastic and very unsettling.

 

[hal9001]

Haha great title.

Nice, that's a good length,I can finish that inbetween other games.

Because it was too dark for some, in comparison to the TV series, which is exactly why I liked it.

I know the line is uttered in the main show, but i can't think of anything but the movie when I read/hear it. It's a cute reference, I'll give the title that.

 

[Bowlie]

Oh Lunar, it really had to be this title c: Hyped.

In that sense, I now kinda have some probably unfair expectations for Firewatch lol.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

Will probably be my first impulse gaming buy of 2016.

 

[The Ummah]

Gonna purchase the bundle on PSN. I need that theme!

 

[Melchiah]

Heh, I hope the game is similar in that sense as well. IIRC, it's said to be more of a thriller than horror.

I'm getting this on PS4 so I hope what you guys are talking about isn't true.

 

[SliceSabre]

I feel like I'm gonna give this game a shot, on PS4.

Listening to Idlethumbs has intrigued me about it.

 

[somecrazymember]

The Witness and now this... I Love 2016

 

[Nothus]

Are we talking about fluctuations in framerate between 30-60? Because honestly that wouldn't bother me too much.
Drops below 30 is a totally different problem.

 

[GlamFM]

We´re definitely off to a great start.

+the broncos won

 

[shiba5]

Can't wait to go find that turtle.

 

[CryptiK]

Bought the Steam gift version awaiting reviews. If its my type of game then great if not ez sale.

framerate fluctuations between 30-60 are terrible.. a simple drop below 30fps (when it doesn't go higher than 30) is better...

The fluctuations between 30-60fps never bothered me that much in Infamous: Second Son, Killzone: Shadow Fall, or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, so I think it depends on the person.

 

[ThePeoplesBureau]

EDGE (print version) gave it an 8

 

[GinoFelino]

I read somewhere this won't be available to preorder on PSN.

Well, shit. What's up with that? I want that Olly Moss PS4 theme :O

 

[Melchiah]

This bodes well, knowing Edge's scoring history.

yeah.. some games it isn't as noticable.. but Unity arghhh... I hope it's not to bad in this game.

Come to think of it, I dunno if I have played such a game that uses Unity. What games this gen have used it?

Did you play Ori? Or Volume?

 

[Melchiah]

I haven't played Ori, as I don't have XBO, and I don't play on my laptop. Never heard of Volume.


EDIT: Found these by quick googling...
https://unity3d.com/showcase/gallery/?platform=ps4&genre=&gametype=t-all
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unity_games

So, it seems Escape Plan is the only Unity game I've played this gen.

 

[noomi]

bought the steam version yesterday, excited to give this one a try tomorrow

 

[Dryk]

I have never heard of this game but I came into this thread because you nailed the title OP. It's on my watch list now.

Grow Home... and that had terrible performance on ps4. I have no idea if they patched it, but it was terrible when it launched.
Hand of Fate... terrible framerate when it launched.

just two games I remember right now.

I have Grow Home in my library, but haven't tried it yet. Now that you mention it, I remember reading about its poor performance.

 

[Nillansan]

I just picked it up on Steam, I have high hopes for this one.
