Just got off after 6 hours of playing. This game is every bit as good as I remember

except the tree in the forest

LOL that part is universally hated :p

Is it so hard to actually be in sync with the US store? Its one day for christ sake surely a simple setting in their database could fix that!

It's not a technical problem though, it has more to do with the fact that SCEA and SCEE are two different companies and they handle updates independently.
It sucks that we have to wait an extra day for some games but most people don't care or even know, they just look at their regional store.
When I told my friends that I (also) have a US account and I have to buy PSN cards from play asia to buy stuff on the US store they think I'm some kind of crazy hacker to go to that extent....and actually it's a pretty simple thing to do.
 
JESUS CHRIST WTF SONY



I deleted the game from my library, I cant download it because it says start.... And I'm having trouble getting into the web store because I have really bad internet.


Fuck off Sony...Fuck off.


Is there any other fix?

Ive tried restoring licenses, but none of that works.

I will probably pick this up within the next few months. I was big into point and click adventure games as a kid (DotT is one of my favorites from that era), but didn't really play this or Full Throttle. Excited to experience it, especially with all the positive reviews.

Oh dear it must be bad if you're blaming Sony for your ISP problems. /s

I'm just bitter I can't play it at all because I'm a second class UK citizen.

So excited! This is my 3rd time (second time to complete) in the land of the dead!

Oh and three save slots show cloud icons. THANK YOU SONY! :D Cloud saves are, in my opinion, required when you have a Vita and PS3/4 version. :)

Go to your download list on the Web store and send the PS4 version to the PS4 worked for me.

Cant really decide which platform to get it on:

Steam
-Will it run fine on my laptop (720p and an intel HD4400)?

PS4/Vita
-How well does it look and run on Vita?
-How are load times on Vita?

It's up on AU PSN, so all over EU region now I assume. $22.95 in Australia

Edit: I assumed wrong for EU it seems. Check back at midnight of the 28th is my guess.

No 16:9 option at all?

If not, what a remaster..

16:9 stretched.
Double Fine should have tried to copy the scrolling solution that Capcom came up with. It is an interesting and effective way to fix the problem of 4:3 native backgrounds.
Still I think I'm going to play it in 4:3 on PS4, Vita I don't know...the screen is too small for 4:3...

Just like REmake.

Ummm no?
In Biohazard if you play in widescreen the backgrounds are not stretched, they get scrolled as you move.
It's a pretty effective solution and it's a better compromise than playing in 4:3.

I'm playing 4:3 on the vita and I have absolutely no problems with it. 16:9 doesn't help the screen size anyway because it's practically the same size but stretched.
 
Playing this on the Vita, feels rather fantastic actually. Only problem is the low frame rates but it's an adventure game so it doesn't really matter much.

It's also my first time with the game, and it's pretty good so far.

Thanks! I had the same problem as the poster you were replying to, I accidentally backed out of the store after paying and found no way to get it to download, just a start option.

Still nothing on the italian web store :/ I hope later today or by midnight.

Hmmm well it went up pretty much right on midnight of the 28th in AU so hopefully that's when it shows up for everyone else too. I'm making room on my Vita for it now. Too bad I'll have to wait until tomorrow to play now.
 
I've been trying to download via the browser but after clicking the "send to ps4" button it just sits there and hangs. Anyone else get this?

So what's the consensus on the Vita port? Bugs? 60FPS? I'd really like to know.
Vita port runs at like 25 FPS with remastered graphics and with original graphics at like 30 FPS. The framerate could've been better, but at least it looks pretty good on OLED. I haven't encountered any bugs yet.
 
Anybody notice frame drops on the PS4 version? i've seen it drop in certain areas like Olivias club

16:9 stretched.

I don't think scrolling would have fit well for this game. It would have awkwardly cut off a lot of shots.

Started playing the PS4 version this morning, and I am loving it so far. The new renderer and real-time lighting adds a nice, modernized look without tampering too much with any of the original assets.

That being said, I can't figure out how to enable the director commentary. On the controls screen, it lists L1 for that function, but nothing ever happens when I press it.

Tried to access and download to my PS4 from web store download list. PS4 version isn't listed. PS3 and Vita ARE listed. I preordered, and preloaded, on PS4.

Eit: Signed out of webstore, and back in. PS4 version now available to Download.

You need to turn it on in the special features section of the menu. Then it will give you a notification when it's available.

Thank you.

Sadly I was kinda expecting this. Whelp.
 
Played for just over an hour and it felt like it was a lot longer, in a good way. Game sweeps you up even though I feel like I'm still in sort of a tutorial, learning about the mechanics of the game and being introduced to characters.

There seems to be a lot of in jokes about working at LucasArts I think, carpal tunnel and server issues even at places like that!

You're already at the Olivia club? :D

About the scrolling....in Biohazard it is really subtle, it goes along with the character movements in a really not intrusive way.
It is definetly better than stretched 16:9.... :/
Too bad that Double Fine didn't have the idea.
 
Similar issues here: Purchased but cannot download. Went to the web store to tell it to send to the PS4 but the request just hangs and wont push to PS4. The store page on the PS4 just says "Start" but won't initiate anything.
