You can cover yourself in mud to help avoid tracking from the Predator, and I believe he does have a way to mimic character voices. Think I saw something in the control layout but never got to try it.

I hope they include Predator 2 skin:
Its my favorite Predator design. Also would be great if we could play without the mask.

Yeah I saw that mechanic in the game but it's like an afterthought as you have to break cover to shoot the predator.....that's why relying on guns only really feels limiting
Hats off to the small team in nailing the feel of a predator movie but it really needs to concentrate on the core gameplay as it's lacking.

You missed that weird AvP RTS game, AVP: Extinction, also Concrete Jungle was fantastic fun and what you'd want from a Predator game, I would'nt mind a better sequel to that
Also this reminds me for some reason of The Punisher: No Mercy on PS3, interesting ideas and great IP, but not the best studio to do it and very limited

I've always wanted an open-world Predator game set in the AvP universe in which you can battle both Colonial Marines and Aliens while traversing between planets. Basically free to do whatever the hell you want.

yes they nailed that aspect of the game...You can clearly see that some love went into creating this.....I'm just not sure if it's enough to carry it

Oh they nailed the authenticity and source material.i love the predator theme music in the opening title screen. Unfortunately the game on the Ps4 Pro plays like MAG on Ps3. That was 10 years ago. Its rough and ugly as hell.

I do not gather any feedback. I only expect true information but you guys are getting angry when I call you out about this.
For example you yourself stated that enemy AI is spongy.
People reading it can take it for granted but it is false information. So I corrected it.

I played it on PC and my experience is different than yours and I cannot do a comparison because I do not own PS4 Pro anymore.

Again I do not work for them but you can post your feedback on their forum.
I expected a constructive criticism but some of you guys do not even understand what it is and you think whatever you write is good.
The most of your feedback are actually expectations for a different game than this one is.
And what is wrong with AI. Is not it an annoyance as designed?

So then how is it not constructive criticism to discuss PERFORMANCE issues on the ps4 pro? Including framerate, AA and its jittery controls?

I have never challenged this, but I challenged those who said that if the game works this way on PS4 it works the same on other platforms which is not true.
Also I asked those guys about if there are similar games that work better, or if they know that you can do it better on Unreal Engine 4 running on OG PS4. But they failed big time.
Anyway I would like to hear an opinion of Digital Foundry's guys on this. It would be a final nail to false information coffin here and some education for clueless people.

I will definitely wait till people have had for a month before buying. Not a fan of IllFonic's work in the past but I like this license.

Keep fighting the good fight then. I dont see this game hanging around if it releases like this. Great IP and great source material but its just sloppy on consoles.

If I was a true fan then maybe I wouldnt notice those blurry textures, cheap animations (esp the explosions, they look similar to that arcade game Area 51), dumb AI and stuttering frames.

You do not have to buy them but at least you can be aware of their existence. And you yourself stated that not much happens with this franchise. LOL

You can provide here your analysis. What games do it better being in a similar vein on OG PS4 (based platform)? Or can it be done better with Unreal Emgine 4 keeping all features on OG PS4?
Your opinion is welcome here.
I predict it will be free on psplus within a few months in what will end up being a last ditch attempt to boost the player count.

No one cares what it runs on. Thats irrelevant. The trial looks like shit and runs like it on PS4. Not a good sell for consoles at all. Case closed.

As I expected another pseudo expert here who can't back up his statements. And rage quitting.
Hopefully the real Digital Foundry will explain tech side of things in the future and then we will see who is going to have the last laugh.

All look better, with far more geometry, uncharted has far more foliage interaction, and has less issues and a stable frame rate
GR is a good comparison since it has a predator in it, and it's open world
Predator hunting grounds is just loading 1 level, that's not very large, and still look average, has almost little interaction, apart from slightly moving bushes, which I've seen in games much older, branches and trees dont move at all when the predator is jumping from tree to tree, infact it clips through almost all of it lol

Also buggy gameplay, the inconsistent targeting and hitboxes, a training mode that doesn't even teach you how to heal, the unbalance favoring the fire team, and the loooooong queue times (it was around 5 minutes plus the mission briefing screens average to get into each round I played) gave me flashbacks of all the issues friday the 13th had that apparently weren't learned from.
Plus it's easy to see the impending skill gap is going to hurt whatever player base they end up getting at launch.. The real 1980s predators fans might have fun pwning noob predators who don't know how to play but it isn't going to retain a healthy player count.

Oh I completely agree. This will die faster than Evolve.

Eh, I don't think it's trying to have Evolve's attempt at longevity, which it failed at. It's the Predator IP that they hope will carry it, along with a fun experience.
In terms of Predator games that have existed (not AVP) this is definitely one of the better ones, albeit janky. But that's something that can be taken care of with time.
A lot of people hated on F13, F13 still has a lot of players which is both awesome and sad as the whole court case situation really messed that game up.
I think it'll be just fine and it'll do what it needs to do. Here's to hoping illfonic will continuing fixing and supporting for a great while.

LOL, none of those games run on Unreal Engine 4.
Uncharted games-the first party ones with high budget optimized to one platform. Also with slow running characters in comparison to Predator run in P:HG. And what foliage interaction you have there? Can you destroy it? Is action in it so dynamic like in P:HG? Not to mention its linearity.
Why do not you compare NES' Predator? It has Predator in it too. And what interactivity is with foliage in Ghost Recon games? Can you destroy them, use trees for quick traversal?
Also it seems that P:HG does not use streaming objects technology like open world games do i.e. GR games.
And LOL at no interaction. Moving bushes, leaves and branches give up location of Predator in P:HG. How can you expect huge trees to move (the only ones Predator can climb)? And branches ends actually move when you run or jump on them and shed leaves. Are you sure you played it?
LOL Mr. expert you failed again.

Like I said before, I am not trying to convince anyone here to buy it. I just debunk false information about it. That is it.

No, they are not. Just watch their gameplay videos for comparison. Otherwise you would hear people saying oh it is just reskinned Uncharted or Ghost Recon.

I wonder if the game has only jungle maps? Would be great if it had one city map that is similar to Predator 2.
Friday the 13th game wasn't great technically but it was popular.

Friday the 13th had a 3rd person view and a legit heart racer at times. It worked well on word of mouth. A slasher movie version of hide and seek. This is a FPS. If tech issues are all over the place then its hard to get an accurate shot . I downloaded this with a group of friends we were hype to try it out. We all were pretty disappointed.

I hope they fix the techincal issues before the release. I'm thinking about pre-ordering this on PSN. The trial was fun and I wish it was longer.. I'm already missing it.

I pre-ordered the stardard edition on PS4. The trial was great and I want the 1987 movie skin. They are making some adjustments based on the feedback:
