GAF PS4 or X1 ?

Just need a simple answer on which console looks and runs best. Thx!

 

[Majmun]

Bought the Ps4 version today. It looks great and the game is a lot of fun.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Anyone tried using a DS4 on PC? Does it have native support?

Both are 1080p/30 fps. Personally, I'm on Xbox One and it is great.

 

[dubq]

I was gonna wait on this but it looks like everyone is having positive experiences.. sooo I picked it up on launch. My undead body is ready.

 

[charsace]

So I played Dead Island for an hour, seemed neat but didn't pull me in. This game looks really awesome though. Is it a better Dead Island game, or a better game in general? Really unsure whether to take the plunge on this one.

I Dead Island did not grab me. Playing the tutorial for this and I am way more into it than I was in the 3 to 4 hours I played Dead Island.

This is what I'm mostly excited about. Reminds me of Hexen in someways or atleast the setting does which is why I can't wait for this game. We need more fantasy games that are overrun by demons and shit.

 

[ANDS]

Really wish jump was mapped to a face button.

 

[Stainless]

yeah if I hadn't already bought it, superboot to the face mode and rooftop dropkicks would have sold me in an instant

Yeah, it looks really fun. Sort of Dark Messiah-ish as well with the first person combat. Also with tons of loot.

 

[charsace]

I think the jump button works best where it is. you can turn while jumping which you will need I would imagine when running from zombies.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

How do you activate the traps in the train yard on the poles? There seems to be no way to access them.

 

[Oneself]

Jump on a shoulder button is perfect, just as perfect as it was in Mirror's Edge.

Also, the combat in Dying Light reminds me of Condemned and it's awesome.

Yeah, it feels great after playing with it for a bit. The gameplay is super smooth. And, now that you mention it, I get sort of a Condemned vibe as well with combat. An awesome game so far.

It does.

Should be able to just barely make the leap from the rooftop of the train storage area. You only have to get one so if one is giving you trouble try the other one.

 

[antitrop]

I thought Dead Island was terrible, but still looking forward to giving this a shot later tonight. The price was right at GameStop

 

[PhatSaqs]

Loving it so far.

 

[MYeager]

Again, how do you decide if you trust a reviewer? You read their reviews on multiple similar games and genres over time. Dying Light is like Dead Island, AC, Mirror's Edge, and Far Cry. I posted as many of those as he has done, and that's a very good way to decide how much weight that this very popular reviewer's opinion may earn from you.

I read the review? Personally I'd have a hard time even judging by previous AC games as my own opinion on the different entries vary wildly and wouldn't really mean much aside from the fact that I've played them and there were parts of those games that I found better than others. If Dying Light is like those games and uses the mechanics I like in a great way, awesome, but it might take the parts I don't like or put the parts I do together like a 3 year old with an 1000 piece puzzle.

You put his snarky tweets above a list of game review scores, that doesn't say much of anything to me. If it helps others that's good I guess, I just don't see how him giving Watchdogs a 9, AC2 a 4.5, and Dead Island a 7 along with two tweets is going to help me glean if Dyling Light is a game I might like.

 

[FaintDeftone]

I have the game downloading while I'm at work. Looking forward to checking it out tonight.

 

[MYeager]

Superboots and Roof Dropkicks should be features listed on the box, because those are selling points to me.

 

[Symphonia]

So I looked on the Playstation Store and this game has a product page but no price. I did notice there's a 'Premium' version at £60 but that's waaay too much. Anyone know how much the standard will be and how big the download will be?

 

[MUnited83]

If you thought Dead Island was terrible I don't think you will like this. The game's design is very very similar to Dead Island. It just has way more polish(not janky as hell like the original DI), pretty good trasversal mechanics and better combat.

 

[SomTervo]

Hah, legendary.

My local retailer, who are absolutely amazing, have imported American versions of Dying Light.

Im in the UK and can buy the game at retail tomorrow

Now i can trade it in within a few weeks, and relatively have bought it for £25 or so - cheaper than PC. Either that or it'll be good enough to keep forever - in which case full retail is worth it.

 

[Citadel]

Glad to her that people are receiving the game fairly well. Although I liked Dead Island, it didn't grab me as well as I thought it would... But I'm really excited to play this. Definitely going to pick it up today after work. (As well as the REmake.. Never actually played that back in the day).

Most likely will go for the Xbone versionm since it's running at 1080/30 (assuming).. Although many people seem to be having PC issues?

 

[aravuus]

Yoo where's my goddamn Steam key

Knew I should have just paid the 20e more and actually buy it from Steam

Anyway, it seems like the PC version runs pretty well for most people in this thread? I've read some pretty concerning stuff on some other forums, people saying the game runs at 100+ fps in some tower or whatever but drops to ridiculously low twenties when you go outside or something

A dev at EGX told me the ps4 version would be slightly better. No idea if that's how it panned out though.

Same situation here in Mumbai and with my friends in the UAE. Picked up my PS4 copy today. A couple of chapters in. So far, so good.

 

[Jarrod38]

Debating on if I should get this game or not. I enjoyed both Dead Island games but at the same time I'm kinda of tired of the zombie games.

Excellent my retailer also break street date frequently, sometimes as much as a week. Does that happen on your end? Also

Spoiler

talking about this doesnt breach GAF TOS does it?

I hated Dead Island in a lot of ways - but I've watched plenty of streams of Dying Light and it looks like DL has very much improved on everything I didn't like bout DI. Now I've just got to get through a day at work tomorrow...

 

[Xater]

Got this for 20 bucks from Gamestop and it's alright. To be honest I would not have paid more for it. It is a more polished Dead Island, but that's really not blowing my socks off. Also having played Dead Island 2 the combat in that game is just so much better and less clunky.

Oh also this game takes itself way to serious for how dumb the story is.

Oh good to hear, hope it does well for Yager.

 

[FlyinJ]

Put an hour in and I'm really digging it. Frame rate is stable and I haven't seen a tear yet on ps4.

The parkour works really well.

 

[BahamutPT]

Question for those of you who already got past the Voltage side quest:

Spoiler

Are you supposed to sleep until it's night time on the final station? I got there and there's a sleeping bag, but it doesn't let me sleep until it's night. I've even closed the station door
Or do I have to wait the clock out? It would seem like the sleeping bag should serve some purpose.

Edit: Nevermind Ended up just waiting it out.

 

[Tak3n]

so seems like there is a lot of quitting going on if you play as the zombie, which means you don't get any XP as the zombie if you win...

just to make you aware

 

[SteveWinwood]

wait so there is no melee on stick? that was like 80% of the fun of dead island

 

[Hawkian]

Not having jump on X in a game like this is critical; Mirror's Edge pioneered the idea. But that's what I don't get, why R1 and not L1?

 

[Marvel]

Y'all making me want this game even more.

 

[angrygnat]

A game that crosses Dead Island and Mirrors Edge? Let's see. Two games I don't really like........Kind of disappointing. Oh well. It's already paid for.

 

[SargerusBR]

Anyone know if its there an option to disable the radar or at least disable the zombies FOV in the radar?

PLEASE

This has been known for a long time.

 

[JP]

Only played about an hour so far (PS4) but at times I could almost be playing Far Cry 4. From how it feels to how it sounds and looks if I didn't know better I could believe they were developed by the same people or at least were developed using the same engine.

It's not a complaint in anyway as I love Far Cry 4 but it's really surprised me. I'm just wondering if it's it's given anybody else the same feeling?

 

[Ricker]

Welcome to online with randoms lol...I wont try any multiplayer until I am familiar with the game,might open it for friends only on PS4...

 

[chubigans]

I Dead Island did not grab me. Playing the tutorial for this and I am way more into it than I was in the 3 to 4 hours I played Dead Island.

It's by far better. Same sort of deal, but is higher budget, more polished and has some great new mechanics.

Jade looks great...she is almost like a tribute to Alyx from HL though lol...

Voice acting is pretty good so far...



It's Dead island but with a lot more ''Parkour'' going on,Mirror's Edge kind of...everything is a little more refined of course,like the quests and menu etc...so yeah so far,better Dead Island game but there is no class like in DE but 3 skill trees to help you in choosing how you want to play...

Awesome, thanks y'all, gonna pick this up today!

 

[N° 2048]

Just started on PS4.

Music is amazing so far.

 

[jyoung188]

How is the keyboard and mouse controls? Pc users using controller or kb&m? I always prefer kb&m for fps.

 

[derExperte]

Why would you preorder a game you knew nothing about except that it's an open world zombie game by the dev that already made two open world zombie games which you didn't like?

 

[pa22word]

Mirror's Edge came out 8 damned years ago, people, god damn...

Barely anyone bought it and even fewer remember it.

Get over the game using alternate jumping buttons than that game. It makes no difference at all.

 

[Stitch]

Some really fast parkour zombies tried to kill me during the day. I thought they would only get fast at night?

 

[jaaz]

How's the story? Any good?
