I still play RE6 with the original camera.
So TEW sounds like a nonissue to me.

Around 2h. Steam timer is always inaccurate though. Could be midnight (its 10:43pm right now in Ger)

I have a PC that could run this at the 1600p and 60 FPS. Am I crazy for considering getting this on PS4 anyways? I've been addicted to playing on my PS4. I have a nice TV and surround sound set up in my room. I'm going through chemo right now and am in a lot of pain and suffering. I think it would be easier laying in my bed to play this on my TV. But damn I'm a sucker for better performance. I'm also worried about PS4 having sub 30 FPS and running clunky
I don't think it's crazy to want to play comfortably. You could also set up your pc with your tv as a monitor and use a controller. I'm getting this on pc and am probably going to play through with my 360 controller.

I always thought that comfortability is hands down the best thing to have when playing a video game. I would also go for the PS4 version. Stay strong man, I hope you beat that cancer's ass.

Lack of ammo up to a certain point is fine. It just needs to have a good balance where its not completely frustrating.

I dislike it too, I like to hear different people's opinions on a game and don't think just because you may disagree with them it makes the point or view less valid.
The opinion sounded valid, not trolling, just a viewpoint of the game, and I find it interesting to discern why one feels a certain way.

That means reviews will be out before the coupon expiring right?
I hope so at least :/

I used Cheat Engine FOV fix on Mordor yesterday and it's a substantially better experience. Even as a couch and telly PC gamer a low FOV is like someone squeezing my brain while I play. RE4make took some serious brain un/re-wiring to get any good at again after years of fluid FPS and parkour games. The FOV and controls suck but the game shines through. I hope that's the case here.
I'm ready for Civ
but please no more suggestions it's bad enough that I read about Bayonetta 2 today and don't own a WiiU. When this hobby get so expensive?BumblebeeCody

For those that complain about difficulty/lack of resources:
There's this game called "Resident Evil 6": you can even play with your buddy and have casual chats over the mic.
I also heard there are nude mods if you're into that.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the artist department did a fuckin' brilliant jobs on Ada Wongs arse.

You have got to find some way to get your PC video out to your TV. I'm not an expert at doing stuff like that, because my TV is within HDMI cable range from my PC tower. There has to be some easy way, right?

The point is to manage these things, stealth is an alternative most of the time, no one else mentions this as a negative because its expected, the way dude mentioned makes it seem like he doesn't know this is a survival horror game, and makes me suspect he's playing it gung ho..of course you'll want for ammo if you overkill every enemy you see.
its deserved when you're not even aware of what genre the game you're playing is in and knocking it for it.

People are having framerate issues? That's weird...a friend of mine playing the Xbox One version was telling me he's pleased with the performance and that it doesn't dip very often, even in intense sequences...
Seriously. The snark level is unwarranted.
There is such a thing as too limited where it could negatively affect the game, even for the genre. It needs to be balanced properly, and it remains to be seen where this lies in this game for most.
Thanks for the kind words. I forgot that I could hook up my PC rig to my TV. So I might see if I can hook it up. I'm pretty physically tired so I'm not sure I can get under my PC desk and move around wires. But I'll see if I can do it in an hour.
I appreciate your guys advice though. Makes me feel less bad should I choose comfort given my situation. Sounds dumb. But it's nice to get encouragement for something small like this.
I caved and watched the new trailer, well most of it. http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3317064/dive-world-evil-within-new-trailer/
I stopped before the end and it would be spoilerish to those sensitive but it does a great job of explaining the different aspects the game consists of. They emphasized stealth heavily. Also puzzles and the environment.
I'm super stoked now after seeing the stealth. It looked similar to hiding and surviving in Manhunt so that has me pumped.

Some of you would literally cry at games like Ninja Gaiden Black/II!!!!!
Find the game too frustrated? Then lower the difficulty to easy or very easy. Just don't ask the devs to neuter the game for everyone else.
I want slap the reviewers who gave alien isolation a minus because it's "frustrated or hard"

Nah, it's a short video called 'Bedfellows' that was made for some horror short contest a few years back.
Really effective and clever.
It's on youtube.
This game does not in anyways require 4GB VRAM for 1080p.
If that's the case then this is by FAR the worst PC port in gaming history.

Hopefully we'll get some European impressions of the PC performance early. I'd like to go to bed dreaming of 60 fps.
This I can agree on. datass.jpg
The thing is, a negative point for him was "too hard + lack of resources".
Saying this in the OT of the first game in ages to try to bring that old school feeling back won't generate positive reponses.
Sooo I went through the first two chapters on that x360 copy at my sis' while waiting for masterrace midnight unlock.
Only thing I'll say is those that liked REmake backgrounds will be heaven, me included.
I think the only time I'll run in the game will be when I have to or I'll die..

For that we will need the console commands from bethesda or wait till some crazy russian finds out in his basement

That all depends on the context. If it's a genuine challenge then great, if it's cheap AI tricks then not so good.

I agree.
Games these days are nowhere near the difficulty of NES/SNES/PSX or even PS2 era games.

Should just be the same old commands to unlock framerate on Wolfenstein, but I suppose we'll see.

I got it on PS4 because I paid $500 for a new HDTV this year, plus the PS4 has been a very comfortable system for games. Plus you can buy Day 1 digital and have it installed without doing anything other than starting the game.
These thumbstick grips work great too (link). I bought a VGA or monitor cord to HDMI and I've tried getting my PC to run. I haven't had the best of luck. Google might have better options and methods of doing that.

Well hopefully your friend is just not very sensitive to the issue, or it's going to be a real surprise kick in the balls for PS4 players.

Why are people saying it unlocks in like 3 hours? Isn't it a worldwide launch in about 7 hours?

I've beaten Maximum Carnage, and Battletoads on the GB. I got this.
But if its Bayou Billy level of difficulty, them i'm fucked.
Everyone is spoiled and it's getting worse with each generation of player. We've already approached the entitled, immediate instant gratification gamer age. Whats next?
If our hands arent being held the entire time, if we dont have the most COMFY amount of supplies or power ups, if we dont have a fucking waypoint telling us where to go and what to do...then its negatives all around. If we dont have the option to make the protagonist a female. On and on and on and fucking on.
Each generation is getting more and more pussified with "gamers" wanting only Retarded Editions of games catering to the lowest common denomination of intelligence and patience.

To me that rollercoaster could be:

2. So many ups and downs in pacing/encounters

we went through this earlier in the thread, but pointing out "it's meant to be like that" won't make someone any less frustrated with the game
the premise of people calling that out seems to be "everyone will like this game if only they knew what it's meant to be" and that's absurd, guys.

In your situation, I would just do whatever is most convenient for you. Don't want to go through needless work if you just want to play.
You can always pick up the PC version down the line when you want to do a replay.
To be honest, these reasons seem like a stretch.
New TV - don't you want to show it off with the best visuals?
Comfy - Seems like a wash as both can be hooked up to your TV. Bonus points for using your DS4 as a wireless mouse.
Digital - Buy, preload, start the game. That easy.
Why not just a regular HDMI cord? VGA causes some bottlenecks at this point.

You may well be right..
Maximum carnage spanked me, called my parents into the room and took THIER lunch money..
Have you played The Tick? Its possibly the worst most repetitive game ever made, and unbeatable simply because you were so bored you had no desire to finish it..
uh..that's not even the same thing, be serious. Its not about everyone liking this game for what it is or isn't, its about what it is and expecting it to be something else.

I hit the button on the new TV with a sound bar or headset. I start the console with the press of the DS4 Home button and then I'm in.
You could say you have that entire setup with PC, but you also have to figure there's some psychiatry behind a game console and a working TV. The PC experience can be just as good, but that's that.
I think it's good to have a taste of both worlds. I live in my world and I play in theirs. They must have a product on the market for a reason.

bravo good sir, bravo
Maximum Carnage. Yikes. Fucking brutal. My girlfriend in college bought me that. She used to say You never even finished that game I bought for you."
I think I might just do that. Unfortunately I've been having to deal with the treatments on my own as I don't have any close family and most of my friends moved after college or after getting married. So it's been tough physically. I think I'll just buy it on PS4 now just to enjoy the game with everyone and go back to play it later on PC for superior performance. God knows I could use the distraction. And I've really been looking forward to this. I can't thank you guys enough. I know it sounds silly. But it means a lot to get your guys support and opinions. I was feeling bad about skipping PC version and now I don't.
Edit: I would be interested in hooking up my PC to my TV. I might still consider it. But I'm physically ill and exhausted. And so i might just opt out for PS4 for now. But ill look into hooking up my PC to my TV later. I just feel better about opting out for comfort thanks to you guys. I'm a gaming enthusiast and usually care about the best petromance. It pains me to pass up the PC version. But I just want to play the game. I really need this distraction.
