Finished the game and all I can say is that it kinda feels like Journey 2, but I think I liked ABZÛ more.

All I want now is to buy the glorious Austin Wintory OST!

How many hours did it take you to finish it?

 

[finalflame]

Do we know what time this unlocks on steam? I.e. Is it at 9pm PDT today, or whatnot?

 

[Demption]

When does embargo end?

Did you LOVE Journey and is it still one of the best games you've ever played?

 

[Appollowexx]

Can't wait for the embargo to lift to see the general consensus. I still remember how surprised I was by Journey and finished it in one sitting at the time. Think I'll do the same for Abzu. It's pre-loaded on my PS4 and ready to go, the perfect tonic after some Resident Evil 6 co-op with a friend tonight.

How does it control?

One GAFer was complaining about the controls for the demo he tried.

Here in the UK it's 7hrs 9mins as I type this.

Welp, I'm off to pre-order.

 

[ultrazilla]

So it's kinda like Journey 2, uses the amazing Unreal Engine 4 and has music by Austin Wintory? I'm all over this at midnight!

P.S. I know Austin is keeping an eye on this thread, I just want to tell you I actually bought your Journey soundtrack. It's simply amazing.

My favorite is "Apotheosis"

Hype! Another one for this thread:

PewDiePie - Most Beautiful Game 2016

 

[Freeman76]

Caved and pre-ordered on PS4, is there a dynamic theme with it? ALso how do I preload, it just says ready in 7 hours blah blah

Saw the start screen and after he hit start and it started to take off I said "Nope!" Going to experience all of this fresh for myself.

 

[Sexually Aggressive Uncle]

PC if you care about framerate, ps4 if you care a free theme

The theme sucks though.

Bound's dynamic theme is pretty nice however

Press X on the icon, it will bring you to the countdown on a blue background with a DOWNLOAD button on the bottom

Is it different in EU? I dont have that button, definitely preordered though, paid for, email received etc. I havent had a theme either.

Wow getting him on board is always a good thing. Dude has millions of followers who eat up everything he has to say. Love him or hate him, having him shine a positive spotlight on your smaller game can be a real boost!

 

[finalflame]

So, 21 hours to unlock on Steam for NA? :/ wtf..

 

[NateDrake]

How does it control?

One GAFer was complaining about the controls for the demo he tried.

Controls are fine. Change the pitch when you start if you don't like inverted controls though.

is this true?

laaaaaaame

When does embargo end?

We can discuss the game in detail at 12:01am pst
While late it was nice to get to play through it a 3rd time for the walking the walk art discussion video and to be honest 1 more time for the review just in case.
But sadly is right up to the line for consumers.

Also OP thanks so much for posting my interview there. It got me an interview with Jesse Harlin from Mafia 3 and I think they saw it here. So thanks man.

Fantastic in art style and music indeed. The two combined made Journey magical at times. Really looking forward to the successor.

 

[Rakuyo]

Game is already preloaded on my Ps4
Can't wait to "dive in" later this evening!!!

There's no way this is better than Journey 2.

Damn!! I totally forgot to pre-load this and Batman! well... is not that I don't have time to do it tonight.

 

[Nia]

Between Subnautica, Song of the Deep, and this, it's a good time for an ocean lover such as myself right now.

 

[Lightbreak]

Cant wait for midnight to start the game and install the theme!

Is it different in EU? I dont have that button, definitely preordered though, paid for, email received etc. I havent had a theme either.

I am on the EU. If that doesnt work go to the Store, look for ABZÛ, pess X on the timer below the Icon (on the Store page of the game) and a new screen opens with the clock and a download option. Should be there...

The theme downloads at the same time the game unlocks... in less than 6 hours!

Between Subnautica, Song of the Deep, and this, it's a good time for an ocean lover such as myself right now.

Song of the Deep was a fantastic game! Will investigate about Subnautica now...
Edit: Xbox... only have a PS4... damn

 

[exmachina64]

This wait is going to be so hard.

Hahaha.

 

[Nia]

Edit: Xbox... only have a PS4... damn

It's also on Steam, if that works for you.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Is there an exact time for this?

 

[Lightbreak]

It's also on Steam, if that works for you.

Ah ok will check it out there then. Nice. After Song of the Deep I crave more underwated epic adventures...

 

[Ferr986]

Man I don't know if I should play this tomorrow or wait till Friday (maybe finishing it in one sitting like Journey).

 

[Lee Chaolan]

So who else is counting down the minutes til the PS4 release tonight? ;D

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

So who else is counting down the minutes til the PS4 release tonight? ;D

600 more to go!

 

[Deckard Chapel]

LOL!

Anytime! I'm happy to help!

 

[Goldrusher]

Only 240 here.

 

[benzopil]

Two hours until embargo ends right?

 

[klaushm]

It's my first pre-order on PS4. This game is gorgeous and the song is top notch.

Counting the seconds

Edit: 10 hours here.

 

[Dombrowski]

Two hours until embargo ends right?

More like 12 hours and 45 minutes.

 

[dead monkey uk]

More like 12 hours and 45 minutes.

I think he means 2 hours till reviews

 

[finalflame]

Two hours until embargo ends right?

12:01am of tomorrow, I believe, so more like ~12hours if PDT, ~9 hours if EDT.

 

[The Lamonster]

I'm at work but can anyone on PS4 in NA tell me how much time to unlock? Wondering if I'll be able to play this tonight.

 

[CHC]

So no preload / preorder on Steam? Just curious, not really a big deal for me personally as I'm out of town anyway.

 

[Creamium]

Only 240 here.

Ow yeah forgot it was so close, only a couple more hours left
