No theme for us EU customers... sad panda...

The downloadlist problem resolved itself though.
So happy, I still have the original box and the discs.
But now I can play this absolute gem on my tv with my children.

Great, but you were so willing to call to get money back, you should be willing to stop that return since you are satisfied now.

So you just like to have the last word in an argument and hate when someone says anything further. Fine.

Book Closed.

Pretty sure you are trying to do the same.

Is the vita port any good?

It's very much playable, but the framerate does suffer a bit when playing with the remastered graphics. It feels like 25fps with the remastered graphics, but it runs at between 30 and 60fps most of the time with the original graphics on. There are some minor bugs, but nothing that seems to break the game.

I played up 'till the beginning of Year Two last night.

Such a delightful nostalgia trip. The updated character models look really great, so sharp. The reworked parts of the score are very well done too. Oh, and I love the new lightning, especially the subtle touches, like the glow from Eva's screen or the light from Manny's cigarette. The dialogue is even better than I remember. The commentary is entertaining and insightful. Can't wait to get back to it tonight, Rubacava is probably my favourite game location and it's going to be a joy to re-experience it again.

My only disappointment is that some of the backgrounds look quite blurry at times. Obviously there was only so much they could do with them but it would have been nice if they were a little sharper. Still, they're all so artistically impressive that it doesn't that bother me that much.

I just finished the game after just over 24 hours (not solid playing time, just don't know how to track how much time I've spent in game), and only missed two trophies
("Oh Rusty Anchor" and "THAT'S NOT FUNNY!")
. Of course, it can take longer or shorter depending on your availability to play and depending on how much time you spend on the puzzles.

Is anyone's copy taking ages to download from the EU store? I hve close to 70 mb/s download speed and far larger games have take a fraction of the time to download compared to this.

I'm in the UK btw.

Same, but do me a favor? Check your download list, post if the game is listed there.

It's not for me and I've seen no one else mention this yet, so I'm curious if I have an isolated glitch.
Edit: I see it's up for you, guess I just need to wait.

Ah, I'm so sorry I didn't respond- I'm just seeing this now! Hope it ended up working for you!

I don't think I'm too far in, but I am absolutely loving the game thus far. It has this weird feel to it that really grabs you and doesn't really want to let go.

Tried a bit more to get past this glitch, not happening.

I'm seriously pissed off, I'll upload a screenshot of the affected area so you guys know from now on.

Not entirely related to this topic, but a friend of mine worked in a fan demo in Unreal Engine 4, reimagining The Department of death of Grim Fandango.

Seeing this, we can wonder how marvelous and astonishing could be a proper remake of this masterpiece.

That is certainly beautiful! Unreal Engine 4 certainly is a masterpiece. Do you know how long it took your friend and the other developers to make this?

It looks like the savegames are more like emulator savestates so reloading won't fix glitches. I had a case where the game thought Manny's cigarette was out even though he wasn't smoking so there was a little light source following me around. Reloading didn't help. It only went away when I had Manny stand still for a minute and the idle animation had him light up another cigarette.

I started rotating saves after that.

According to him, one month 12 days of his work alone, stopping for christmas. He expects Tequila (a videogames studio here in Madrid) recognize his work.

I'm adding images of his work, without strange vimeo video compression.

EDIT: Fixed. For some reason it was trying to use my integrated graphics as opposed to my dedicated graphics card. Forced it to use my dedicated graphics card and it's fine now.


PC (GOG)

So, installed it, watched the introduction (which displayed fine), and when I get control, it's just Manny standing on a solid black screen.

I can move myself, move my cursor, the cursor changes when it moves over where objects would be, can see another NPC, etc.
But everything other than that, the entire environment is just black.

I've tried looking through the graphics options, switching between Windowed and Fullscreen, restarting, etc.
Same thing. Just black.

Help? >.>

If you're trying to get the game to download do it through the website and push it to the ps4 that worked for me

Also this game is hilarious, been so long since I've played a funny game

Stuck in there, total game breaker.

I had the same issue last night and quit out of frustration.

This game in general is glitchy as hell; I've come across three points where the controls just locked up (couldn't move or access inventory) and I had to close the application and reload my last save. Not sure if it's just the remake or an inherent problem with the original. Enjoying it otherwise, though.

Anyone else having issues trying to download it? I bought the PS4 version on the web store (which gives me the Vita version IIRC?) and it shows up in my library but it says it can't find it and directs me to the store page, which has the same error if I try clicking on the button.

Seems to show "Start" on both of them instead of download too.
