Any video clips of what the PS4 issues look like yet?
5870k + r9 380 was getting 30+ fos at ultra settings, 1080p. So from a GPU perspective a 970 should be ok. Don't know how CPU heavy it is
Cool. I wouldn't imagine it would be, but we'll see. Seems silly to quibble over the performance of a game like this unless it's really bad, though.
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.
Is there a video?

Absolutely beautiful OT for one of my most anticipated games of the year. Can't wait to start this.

I must say I love all the Twin Peaks references in this thread. Makes me even more excited for the game.

Their website indicates that the theme will also be sold separately.
Yeah I can't believe the mentality still exists but I have to believe it probably started because we had that span of The Witcher 2 coming out where Act 2 could literally branch 2 different ways and within a year or so we had The Walking Dead which a lot of people derided for not really caring about your choices - which is wholly wrong.
I know TT games get a lot of flack for other reasons but the complaint that they do not have your decisions mean much for plot, that's never been the point of those games at all.

Sorry if this has already been asked but can it be unlocked on steam via VPN?
Reviews aside I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on the game. The Giant Bomb video kind of unsold me in a way (crossposted from the GB thread);
I want to play Firewatch to look at it, but nothing about the bits they've shown have me interested beyond that.
The dialogue comes through as trying a bit too hard to evoke an approximation of 'natural' conversation. The performances come across as overly smarmy/sarcastic (yet unfunny) people who would drive me crazy to interact with in real life. I'm hoping the fact they were showing a condensed snippet had to do with it, but I don't know if I can hang with those personalities for the length of the game if that's the level of banter to look forward to...

8 GB of Ram is pretty much the standard right now...
Not sure if any other reviewers hit this. No spoilers... You find a camera in the PC version of the game, and you can snap pics with it. It's disposable.
You can have the pics physically developed and shipped to you once you beat it.

There are some story relevant pics that show up, too. I won't share those, of course.
This is a pretty awesome feature.
damn thats so cool...

Have no idea what this game is like, but I came for the awesome Twin Peaks reference.

Loving this new Twin Peaks thread. I almost never pre-order games, but I figured I'd buy it anyway, so I may as well take the two bucks off. Looking forward to it!
I'm pre-loading it right now! Could be because I'm in Japan, but the pre-load should be available to others soon.unluckely, no

That's really neat. I heard about the camera feature, but didn't know much about it and can't run the Steam version.
Enjoy it man. I have two exams tomorrow and one on Wednesday. Blows.

Hope you all enjoy this. I was a tad dissapointed but overall was enthralled. Very cool. PS4 performance was rough and I don't notice that kinda stuff so it was def noticable.

Preload on Steam went up earlier today, but there's no preload for the PS4 version.
Hey man, always enjoy your opinions on games and your reviews, I didn't get to see if you talked about it before but what was your source of disappointment? Story related or the performance?

In case it hasn't been said, the game with the theme (PS4) is $21.99 USD !

This is out tmrw? Holy shit!
I remember seeing the reveal trailer whenever it was and being very intrigued and completely forgot about it with all the other stuff going on and now I find out it's coming out tmrw. Awesome!
Reviews have been good, will catch up on all the media to see if my curiosity is still alive.

Thanks, appreciate it. I'd have posted it earlier but I can't post on gaf at work.
Great OT! Can't wait for this game, but the reports about the PS4 performance are slightly bothersome.
My only other option to play it is on my 2012 retina macbook (2.6 i7, 16GB RAM, 650M 1025mb), but I'm not sure how smoothly it'll run the game.
Has anyone seen anything on OS X performance?

So the game is 4 hours which is interesting seeing how the achievements are
. From preview videos it seems like people can take 20-30 minutes doing the first initial days. I can only assume that the
(speculations based on trophies).
complete Day 79
days aren't actually 1-79 but you just skip the days
A spoiler thread has been created to talk about this stuff.
Sucks man, and exams are even worse than working, it swallows your time and mind into it.
Thanks for posting.
Gave it a read, i'm interested to see what you mean about the plot red herring, as i've read in some other reviews, you are not alone on feeling a bid "mislead'" with the ending. Still glad most are enjoying it either way, still very hyped for it.
