Well, pre-play hypotheses certainly don't belong in a spoiler thread, so I'm not sure what your solution is. If you're that sensitive to discussion about games, I'm not sure what good being in an OT is going to do you.
Yup.
Firewatch |OT| With Me
- Thread starter Lunar FC
- Start date
Like with The Witness, the small size is probably mostly because of the relatively flat shading which means textures take up very little space. And remember that Skyrim on Xbox 360 only was 3.8 gigabytes.

If I remember right The Witness dropped on the PS Store @ Midnight Pacific Time.
Any chance Firewatch will be the same?

Hypotheses can be easily spoiler tagged. Like this:

Your hypothesis here
Wouldn't hurt to do this and people who don't want to read these don't have to. We might still want to discuss the game in other ways.
General impressions? Is it up yet on the store etc?

When is this supposed to unlock? Is it really noon on release day EST? Steam still says ~12 hours

It is due to unlock around the time Steam typically updates their storefront for the day, yes.
Alcoholikaust has a few extra time zones listed here.

Yeah same, not even a pre-order page or anything.
It's the 9th of February for quite some time now Sony, flip that switch.
PS store updates are typically around 2:30-3PM PST.
Grace Chen's (Sr. Director, PlayStation Store) blog posts go up around then.
Edit: It is also confirmed to be tomorrow.

Not exactly the same, but I hate movie reviews where they vocally declare they are going to avoid spoilers, but then talk around certain plot points so carefully that you can almost tell what they've left out and are therefore spoiled.
Probably waiting until Wednesday to play this (UK time) to get a decent run at it.

What is the file size and is it feasible for my friend to download this with a 1-mb/5s connection
mb or MB?

Is this gonna be £15 on UK PSN?
Icyflamez96

well there is a Megabit (Mb) and a Megabyte (MB)
most internet speeds are given in Mbps
£13.50 with the PS+ discount I think
6 or 7 spooked horse power

Cheers, assumed they'd do the straight 1:1 price and make it £20 before I looked a few minutes ago
Will get on ps4 if it has price parity with PC

Very. I wanted to play it in one sitting so won't be doing that now. Not very good timing.
So question for those who have their hands on this already:
Would you recommend playing this in a few sessions, or experiencing the whole story in one go?
I'm deciding whether to just play [trophy spoilers]
or just marathon the whole game.

a session for each day, separated by the trophies

I'm still able to do just that, but still, sucks for those with less flexible lives.
For some games it's so that the game launches during the working hours for the developers, which seems to be the case for this game.
Although it doesn't make sense at other times when for instance the developers are based in EU but launch according to US times lol.

Fuck, I just realized this means the European store will get it tomorrow. I really wish they had offered the PS4 users the chance to preload the game, and start playing it the same time the PC users can. This somewhat sours the experience for me.
Definitely in one session.
The EU store doesn't really have a fixed update day any more, games can and do get released on all days of the week. It should be up today.

If 3pm PST is correct, the launch time is 1am Wednesday, 12 hours from now, here in Finland. A preloadable game with 9th February release date would have been playable 13 hours ago. That's the issue I'm having, on top of being prepared to start playing the game this evening.
That sounds pretty certain! One sitting it is.
The Steam store always tends to add new releases around that time.

I actually disagree! We had our session into two days. It felt good to have a little bit of a break to sit and think about what was going on before the last two days.

So this is 1.3Gb?
That's like just over £1 per Gb, I can't support that, I at least expect £2 per Gb.

£1.30, where you buying it from? ;-)
Oh no, differing opinions!! Now I'm lost.
From your perspective, is a session per day too fragmented? Would you recommend 2-3 sittings?
Care to elaborate? I though stuttering and dips were synonymous.

Jeeeezzz I forgot what life would be like with such a horrible connection.
I preloaded on steam last night within 10 seconds (not a joke) with my gigabit connection and ssd

I have to wait till friday to be able to play this.
Game runs at 30 and framerate drops to 25 or 20 or whatever, basically it slows down but never completely goes to zero...that's dips. This usually happens if the scene is demanding to render.
Game runs at 30, and then freezes/chugs for a tiny fraction of a second because for that tiny fraction of a second there are zero frames...that's stuttering. This only happens when the engine is problematic.
Ok thanks
Maybe I've spent too much time in the OT but this is 100% common practice for the stuff in there (future books, movies, episodes, etc)
Especially once we're past the point where someone could potentially already have finished the thing but is only pretending to speculate for some stupid reason (and yes, this is incredibly common with things like Game of Thrones)
