Firewatch |OT| With Me

Has it been announced how much the "bundle" with the theme on PS4 will be? I've never bought one before but will be tempted due to Olly.

Has a 10% discount for PS+ members, so £13.49 for people like me in the UK. I think it's $18, but not 100% sure!

I dont thike they said, on the PR email only this was said

The game will launch on PlayStation Network with a 10% discount for PlayStation Plus members until February 16. And we're launching with a Dynamic Firewatch PS4 Theme -- it's $3.49 and can also be bought in a discounted bundle.
 
Gamestar gave it 82% and called it an atmosphere bomb:

German Review
+ brilliant comic graphics
+ fantastic atmosphere
+ freedom of discovery, lots to discover
+ interesting story, great characters
+ optional dialogues and sequences
- decisions hardly matter
- could use few more puzzles and be longer in general
-
ending
 
Beautiful OT to match what looks a beautiful game.
Sucks I'm away for work all this week but can't wait to get stuck in.

Hope Campo can deliver the goods!

Strongly disagree with the bolded.

Btw, took me something around 7 hours to beat it. A bit more than everyone I suppose, I blame the beautiful scenery.
 
I wonder what PC performance is going to be like. The game didn't look graphically demanding as something like Metal Gear Solid: the Phantom Pain or COD - so I'm wondering why they couldn't hit 60 FPS :/.
 
If every decision doesn't branch the entire thing into a completely different game, they don't matter! /gamers

To be fair, some games definitely do this better than others and both reviews so far suggest that Firewatch is on the worse end of the scale.

It's not like the player has to change the entire game, just feel like they've made a difference.

EDIT: Holy shit that theme.

SOMA and its choices, and Oxenfree's dialogue choices are, I feel, more mature directions for dialogue/action choices to go. Not everything needs to be a branching tree; SOMA's choices felt really impactful due to the underlying story and your own understanding of what was happening and Oxenfree's dialogue felt very natural and IMO didn't feel like you were being railroaded down different branches.
 
Damn, I'm probably like...2 years too late for that 'Volunteer print' on the merchandise store.

I'll just make and print my own..

At work so went to purchase on the PlayStation Store US website and I am not seeing it. Can it only be purchased from the PS4 itself?
 
Oh please please PLEASE tell me that background changes with the time.

It's not perpetually changing but yes it is clock based. There are multiple times of day and the theme responds to your system clock. So it will chill out on one time of day for a few hours, then transition over a period of a couple minutes to the next time of day. So, if you turn your system on at different times of day, your dash looks different.

Surely we'll be able to purchase the theme separately, yes?

Yes the theme is available separately, or in a bundle pack with the game at a discount.

Won't be up until Sony update store tomorrow. For some reason they didn't do pre-order for this
Edit: beaten!
 
Is there no PreOrder on PSN EU?
Can't find it on my PS4 D:

edit: just saw that others asked about the PSN US store, so I guess it's the same for EU :)

Don't think it can be purchased yet on PS4. Was looking for it the other day to see if a pre-load was available. Couldn't find it.

OK, this is excellent. Thanks Video Games.

(screenshot of the game running in 21:9). Game works well it seems - one of the devs has a 21:9 monitor at home

Yes that's me I play on 21:9 at home. I'm also the UI artist on the game and made sure the UI actually works properly from 21:9 all the way down to 5:4 (the slightly taller than 4:3 displays like your friends old sick 1280x1024 CRT that you were envious of in 1998).
