Amplitude launches on PS4 Jan 5, 2016

They're doing that Oscars thing where they do a limited release at the very end of the year to be included in the GOTY voting. Or not. I can't wait. Freq and Amplitude are two of the best PS games ever.
 
I used to play the original Amplitude like this, but I'm glad that rather than using the tracks and making a single small tunnel, they've got three of each track to make a bigger and less claustrophobic tunnel.
 
Was watching Kinda Funny play this a few hours ago, really pleased to see that they included a FreQ mode.

I know it's not going to happen, partly because the tracks don't work like that, but I would love them to somehow link it up to the Spotify app so you could play whatever you wanted.

This sold me on the game, didn't know about it at all before just watching this pop up on my subscription feed. Looks fun.
 
Are the early access codes PS4 only? I backed because FreQuency was one of my all-time favorite games but I don't own a PS4 (yet).

That being said, this game is gonna be the best start to 2016!
 
Gaaadddämit, I was hoping this would be available as early as possible on Wednesday, but it'll be 6PM in Finland before we'll get our codes. -_-

So why is it only $40 backers get it early?
Because they wanted to push higher reward tiers than just the lower ones.

And it's people who pledged 40$ or over.
 
So it's out tomorrow for $40+ backers. I got an email telling me to wait on the next email, which would have download instruction. Tomorrow at 11AM ET. Reserving a spot for it on my GOTY list.
 
How the fuck are you supposed to go between paths? Never played this game, but that part looks frustrating as shit. Like, as soon as he switched to a new path, there was a beat already passing him.
It's not as tricky as it looks, I seem to remember picking it up pretty quickly. It's worth remembering that you don't have to start at the skill level that he's playing on

Playing the proper way with the shoulder buttons. Very good!

Amplitude highway is my preferred way but Freq mode is so good. Well done, HMX!

DashieSparkle understands me.
 
Never had any interest in this game, but after watching the Kinda Funny gameplay it looked really fun, i loved the beats. I will wait for Gaf impressions.
 
I finish work tomorrow until the 4th and I get to come home to play Amplitude. I can't wait. Although there's the usual paranoia that as it's SCEE I have to deal with, and as it's a rhythm game I may not get it. But I'm going to be optimistic.

I feel like this is the first KS I'm being shafted on, as a PS3 owner. They never said PS3 would be delayed.
 
I think it's interesting that Harmonix gave early access of this game to Colin and Marty, who I recall making a big stink about the Kickstarter and how it was unethical or something. I guess it's ok now though since they can profit from it.
 
They did, back in July on Update #35.
Yep:

...We won’t be able to complete and ship the game until the end of this year on PS4 (with the PS3 version coming shortly thereafter).

...

We’ll follow up with the exact dates in December and January for PS4 as soon as we have them. PS3 will follow shortly behind.
Hopefully PS3 players won't have to wait very long.
 
The addition of Freq mode tunnel gameplay sold me

The only thing I didnt like about amplitude was the flat layout

Made it harder for me to play
 
Emails should start dropping here in about 25 mins. Thinking about streaming some if anyone wants to hang out. I'd like to get a camera pointed at the controller if I can manage it but I'm no streaming production house so we'll see.

Hopefully it doesn't have any weird stream blocking nonsense as I'd like to just use the built in stuff on PS4. Can't recall if RB4 allows it? I think it pops a message about broadcasting not being allowed when you start up the game but I am not certain.

Edit: yyyyeah, downloading. 608.1 MB download.
 
Fucccckkkcckkkyeah! Just got surround sound gonna bump the block with these beats, bruh.
 
Did you enter it without the dashes?


If it doesn't work I would contact Harmonix directly through Kickstarter.

Yes I entered the code without the dashes so the format is correct. It says that "Thec ode you entered is incorrect or is no longer valid."

I'm in Europe (Sweden more specifically), do you think that matters?

Pretty sure they said at the start of the Kickstarter that the game codes would be for US PSN accounts. If you don't have one just make one and redeem it on that (and then set your PS4 as primary on it).
 
Got my SCEE account codr fine, added to my download queue. 2.3GB for the game, 1.0MB for the kickstarter blaster. No mention of the extra song, oddly enough, but maybe it's included in the main download. I'll see when I get home.

No, this is a SCEE Code.

EDIT: I mean, my code isn't working either. I'm from Finland...

EDIT2: The backerkit site says "SCEE - Early Access - Game + Icon"
 
In the UK and my code worked fine on my UK account about an hour ago.

Mine downloaded a second file called A[litude Kickstarter Backer. Not tried it yet but I assume that's it.
 
My code doesn't work either, it says SCEE in Backerkit and I'm using it with my Dutch PSN Account...

My bad. I haven't followed the kickstarter updates since the last backerkit survey.
Hope you get your code working soon!

EDIT: Got confused with that $35 tier which gave you the US PSN credit intended for the DLC

Thanks for posting this! I was trying to redeem it via my US account, tried it on my UK account and lo and behold, it went through!

They fucked up allright, just tried on an old UK account I used to have on my PS3, it worked on that account..

Do I have to keep this UK Account on my PS4 to access this game now? Great job Harmonix...

At least I get to play it right now! Yay!

EDIT: Great! I can only use it on the UK Account... Wow this sucks!
 
I redeemed it and see Amplitude in my purchase history. It states:

Starts 12/23/2015
Expires -
Remaining -

But I don't see it in my Download List on the PSN Store website. I wish I could download it to my PS4 from work so I can play it when I get home. Is there a way to?

You can use it on other accounts as well but you have to make the PS4 you are using the UK account's primary console from the (account?) settings.
