Firewatch |OT| With Me

Figured that they would allow for a preload of this on PSN, oh well. I'll hope for an early store update tomorrow. Can't wait to finally experience the game.
 
Hey we posted some Firewatch wallpapers by Olly Moss, up on the Campo Santo blog. They are available in a zillion sizes including 21:9. A few folks in here asked for them earlier and I got distracted for most of the day, but now here they are!
 
Firewatch comes out out tomorrow 10 am Pacific Time on Steam, and as close to that as the fates allow on the PlayStation Store.

Beautiful. Is there a version of all three combined like at the top of the page? That looks pretty awesome too.
 
Man really hoping I wake up tomorrow and this is on sale on PSN. I have tomorrow off. Thank you Mardi Gras. Would really love to play through this tomorrow with the wife.

I got so much use out of the original FW wallpaper. I'm sure it was on every computer/tablet/phone I own at one point or another.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've got a little burn in on my monitor from using that wallpaper for about a year.

I did a quick little edit of all of em together like that hopefully it's to your liking

If you want to watch the game running on PS4, the livestreams we did with GameTrailers and GamesRadar were done using the PS4 version. It's obviously not footage meant to highlight issues in a positive or negative light, but its footage of random press people playing the game on PS4 using a retail key.

Watched the GT video earlier when you posted this and thought. "Hm, maybe I'll check out more of their stuff..."

Fuck.
 
Spoiler threads are for spoilers. Not pre-play hypotheses

Pre-play hypotheses are fucking bullshit. Most don't want to read them because they can ruin the game in their own way. Once you read something, it's stuck in your head and if it actually happens in the game, the impact is lessened by it.

This happened to me with Castlevania: LoS. Some dude predicted the ending in some thread months before the release. Then I knew that was exactly what was going to happen and it kinda ruined the endings impact.

So anyone who likes to hypothesize about the story can spoiler tag it because most don't want to read that stuff. They're in some cases almost as bad as spoilers.

Same thing with this game and
the supernatural stuff
people are asking. Many have asked and many have answered something with spoiler tags. Now I don't know if that stuff happens but if it does, I know to expect it and the impact is lessened. Great.

Honestly i've never seen people spoiler tag pre-play hypothesis/discussions in any major story driven game...even RPGs.

Such a long wait seeing as though I thought it was unlucky on the 9th. Hope it's worth the wait.

To clarify, the game is unlocking everywhere at the same time, so for anybody else curious who's not covered by the above, you can just look at the store page and do the maths (the timer updates every hour).
 
Does the level of snark go down in Firewatch after the opening section? Watching the Giant Bomb quick look I kind of felt that I don't really want to listen to these two characters out-snark each other for 5 hours.
 
Has there been any word on which controllers the Steam version will support? Hoping for native Dualshock 4 support to get those PS button prompts.
 
just replaced my old Firewatch wallpaper with one of the new ones. Feels good.
 
Makes it sound like the issues aren't game breaking or annoying. So as someone who doesn't mind the rare issue that's fine for me
If it consistently can't keep up the framerate that's another story I haven't read what the issues are will do tomorrow

IGN review said you can have your character play the straight man to her jokey attitude do if youd rather do that
 
Hope this shows up on PSN fairly early tomorrow. Have the day off and would love to play through it.
 
Any tips on the best way to use those wallpapers on a 3000x2000 Surface Book screen? They all fit a little weird. Any advice is appreciated.
