Of course people start reporting the input lag again after I go out and buy the PS4 version. 
Oh well, I'll test it out soon enough.
Boost Mode does cause issues with some games so it could be plausible. I'll test that out too!

I'm guessing they tweaked deadzones and acceleration like they said they would, but I think CryEngine might have something inherently wrong with input lag when it's on PS4. Someone posted this on reddit:
I've seen input lag complaints regarding those games before, so I think they were onto something.

So after 6 hours and 30 minutes I just entered
. How far am I ? I've already played a lot and it feels like I'm still at the beginning.

What difficulty level should I play this on? Hard or nightmare?
You are.

Hard. Typhon enemies hit very hard in Nightmare

Wow, lol. That's fantastic.

I got to say, I wasn't feeling the Typhon design before the demo and game, but I really like them now. They're pretty well animated, given them a very alien feel with their liquid smoke biology, versus the aliens in Mass Effect and other games. They're creepy in their design, especially when you hear the Phantoms muttering. And their movesets are varied and encourage you to plan your approach. At least in the early game so far, they feel like a real threat that needs to be approached with caution every time

One of the best Steam reviews I've seen in a while.
It's almost verbatim an old meme, but yeah, fits the game pretty well
I'm a bit of the way through
. Now I'm not sure what to do with a certain common item:
I found hard a good balance at the start, but it got easy quite fast with the amount of stuff I was collecting so I put it up to nightmare. It's still not a hard game, but it's a better balance at the top difficulty and makes you consider your resources more.

Is there anything I can do with exotic material other than use it to craft neuromods? I want to avoid the negative consequences of crafted neuromods the game hints at and stick to found upgrades, but not sure if it's worth keeping in my inventory otherwise.

How are people who are further in feeling about the story and characters? As much as I love the Dishonored series and it's world building it always falls apart on those fronts. Had no clue Avallone was involved, that's hopeful!

I find it very intriguing so far. Hell, I like it more than Dishonored 1/2's plot and characters, though its not exactly a high bar lol.
ARK has horrible input lag as well.

So here's the important question, does anyone know if any of those actually got fixed?

Hmm taking boost mode off makes me think it feels better but maybe Im crazy.

Damn this game is creepy, I love the environments.
Fun fact: AUD and UAH (Ukranian hryvnia) are the only currencies mentioned as future currencies during the first Steam Dev Days that have yet to be implemented. I'd wager the lack of UAH support is down to the volatile relationship between Ukraine and Russia, however I'd long assumed that Valve was waiting for its legal tiff with the ACCC to be over before implementing AUD support
To be perfectly frank, at this juncture, I can't think of a single valid reason for the lack of AUD support that is more substantial than "Because we don't want to."

Alright here's what I'm getting guys.

1.01 patch is installed.
This is on a PS4 Pro, boost mode enabled.
TV is a KS8000 with game mode on, so approximately 19ms of TV latency.
This feels a little better than the demo did, but the input lag is very obviously still here. Hope this gets fixed for good at some point.
Update: Tried without boost mode, felt almost exactly the same, if there is a difference it's small enough for me to not have noticed.
Update 2: Here's a video with boost mode off. It seems like it might be a very tiny bit better, but certainly not gone.

Giant Bomb also comments on it in their Quick Look:

damn this is really really really great so far. about 4 and a half hours in. actually really tense and I've jumped more than a few times. finding anything bigger than a mimic really tough and multiple mimics can take me down easily.
Couple people here seem to think it might work better without boost on. Maybe give that a try?
Valve did appeal decision, so it's not yet over.

Just played a few hours. This is good shit right here. Exactly the kind of game I had hoped it would be, but was afraid it wasn't gonna be. It is. My only gripe so far would be the iffy combat, but everything else is just gravy. I'm not looking at the map or using objective markers. Learning the lay of the land by yourself is so much more fun.

The layout is so well designed I don't even need a map. Level design is amazing and reminds me of the old classics.
Tried it without boost mode, feels virtually the same. Didn't do a side by side comparison, but it felt similar enough to not warrant it to me. Updating post.
Same TV and a Pro, but I don't have boost mode on. It feels way better than the demo to me.
It does feel slightly better than the demo overall I think, but I'll take a video of it without boost mode and see if there's a big difference side by side with my other video.

This is good to know. I was debating between Hard and Nightmare but I'm going to start on Nightmare!!

Quick questions:
- Does it stay as good and scary as the demo?
- Did they fix the controller lag on PS4? Cause it was so bad it hurt.
- I was getting my butt handed to me on Easy in the demo. Do you get better equipment as it goes along? Or do I gotta git gud.

I'm not super sensitive to it either. I never had a problem with Dishonored 2, but I know a lot of people did.
It's quite a bit better than the demo in terms of scares and atmosphere. Dunno about lag, playing on PC. Games seems to get harder and harder, honestly, due to resource sapping -- though maybe it lets up.
Check out my post, I took some videos of the PS4 version.

Ah, maybe that's the difference. I'm very sensitive to this stuff. I took a video and updated my post, feels very similar and looks to be similar with boost mode on or off.
Ah, right, so it did. The Commonwealth Courts site lists the case as "finalised", which I figured meant the window for appeal had closed. I actually did wonder why the judgement notice wasn't put up on the AU store as per the ACCC's ruling but ultimately assumed it was a low priority that fell to the wayside.

haha yeah. You should level up all three but I'd say go for larger inventory first because you'll find lots of stuff.
edit: Should I use

No I dont get anything like that, for me its smooth as it can be at 30fps, I literally feel no lag at all. You have to remember people blow shit way out of proportion on here, a small issue becomes "gamebreaking". Anyhow, thats my take on it, no issues for me the game is smooth and highly playable. I do notice the lack of pro patch even though im on a 1080p tv though.

Yeah, I am already running a tight ship with my loot storage. Should probably break down all those banana peels to scrap!
You may not be sensitive to it personally, but the issue definitely exists and plenty of people are noticing. I outlined some specifics and provided examples in my post:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=235865971&postcount=1227
I understand the idea of not wanting people to be down on something you're having fun with, but stating a problem that does exist, doesn't, only makes things worse. I wish I was in the boat of not being able to notice it, but sadly I'm not and it's really hurting my experience.

Stay pure! I am!
Just played the first hour. I didn't touch the demo so I went in almost blind outside of 1 or 2 trailers.
Liking things so far, intriguing for sure. But how consistent is the LOUD SCARY THING HAPPENING music when I have no idea what I was meant to see? It's happened quite a few times now and every time I seem to have missed what the game thought I was meant to see to make me jump / crank the tension. I end up looking around because of the music and noticing nothing. If it wasn't for the loud music I wouldn't have an idea anything was meant to happen.
