Firewatch |OT| With Me

More. I need more.

Jesus. As a PC preorder holder, I hope this is sold separately at some point.

From the link you just quoted:
On PlayStation Network, you can buy the game on release day, and PlayStation Plus members will get 10% off! We've developed a super-snazzy PS4 theme, and that will be available separately or in a discounted bundle with the game.
 
Not sure if any other reviewers hit this. No spoilers... You find a camera in the PC version of the game, and you can snap pics with it. It's disposable.

You can have the pics physically developed and shipped to you once you beat it.

There are some story relevant pics that show up, too. I won't share those, of course.

This is a pretty awesome feature.

I did come across this, and ordered my set. I wish I had taken better photos, but it'll be cool to have nonetheless.
 
Updated OT:

Added Mac and Linux to available platforms.
Review quotes and current Metacritic score.
Links to spoiler discussion thread and the review thread.
 
OT title is great, and also the reason i will be buying this, wouldn't have clicked on this if it didn't have such a great title! Game looks right up my alley. Good job!
 
Hoping the theme doesn't have jarring audio that ruins the aesthetic like the otherwise brilliant Rapture windmill theme. I can still hear that radio in my dreams.
 
You bastards better not be teasing me with those Twin Peaks references. I knew nothing about this game a day ago; now that I know what it is, in addition to marathoning Twin Peaks and seeking jobs with the NPS, this is the most fucking necessary game I never knew I needed to play.

...Sorry, I guess the TP stuff is about the (great) thread title. I thought this game was going to have TP-like mysteries - but pleeeeeeease do!
 
Kinda on the fence on this one now. Is there any place I can look up the ps4 issues that isn't buried in a review? For a short game I want to go in as blind as possible. Also curious if the camera prints work on the ps4? I would do it if it was just because it's a unique idea.

Also are the reviews comparing it to another game story wise? I really want to like narrative games but so far the ones I've played did not impress.

To answer your questions...

1. There are some serious framerate and stuttering issues, with some occasional freezes that have caused people to restart the game. I think I saw someone had to restart the whole game from a bug caused by a freeze.

2. Camera prints don't work on PS4 as far as I know.

3. It's made by the people who did The Walking Dead S1, if that helps, apparently the writing is top notch.
 
Not sure whether to get this on PC or PS4. My PC is about as powerful as a PS4 as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure how it'd run at good settings. Plus I want that theme, and prefer the DS4 to Xbox 360 controller.

Thought the game would be £18 on Steam, very surprised to see that its only £13.49

Wow.. that is so fuckin cool and I can think of quite a few games that this would have been a very welcome feature in.
 
Is there anywhere I can get really hi res versions of these for the PC?

I saw the 5k one posted earlier but those night/blue ones would be great for my desktop.

Wallpapers going up later today with a few times of day. They arent exactly the ones for the theme but there are some similar ones.
 
Whoo hoo! Pre-loading on Steam now. I was wondering when they get around to it. Aside from watching the 1st trailer, I been in blackout for this. I'm really looking forward to this!
 
Hey, as someone whose sister was into this game when we watched PlayStation's E3, I was planning on picking it up and playing it while she watched, I've just got a content question.

Feel free to spoiler the answer.

Any violence towards animals? That'd be a huge deal breaker, she can't handle that kind of thing.
 
For those that bought the soundtrack bundle on Steam, does the soundtrack unlock at the same time as the game, or is it available now?

You can throw a turtle apparently, but that's all I know of, and I don't think it dies.

Do you listen to Welcome To Night Vale? Definitely something Twin Peaks fan might enjoy
