Any word on graphics options? 4K/30?

There is no options, one mode with dynamic 4k and 60 fps.

PS if you mean on PS5 as i assume

Yes sorry. PS5. 60fps is fine. Hopefully it's solid. I don't have VRR

 

[Thief1987]

One of the reviewers said in comments that it's pretty solid, there are some slight drops in the second half of the game, but they are not distracting

 

[spartan30gr]

84 on meta lets party !!!!

 

[SLB1904]

Playstation has been on a roll with their indie partnership games. Kena, Sifu, and now Stray scoring very well.

Take Hasan fake Silent Hill dick out of your mouth and ass

yeah it's a joke, if you don't get it you missed an epic meltdown

 

[Mister Wolf]

If we get a dog game I hope its an RPG

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Nah, you must be kitten me.

 

[amigastar]

CAT WAIT!!

Fixed, for ya.

 

[bender]

Nah, you must be kitten me.

I know it's ruff, but you must paws for a moment and realize you are barking up the wrong tree. Dogs are better than cats, dog-gone it. Now stop hounding me.

 

[ReBurn]

I need to tear myself away from PowerWash Simulator soon and give this a go.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Paw-don me but, nah, still wrong, cats are the best furend, that's hisstory and there's not other pawsibility. Dogs are paways barking for nothing, that's just claw-ful, dogs are infurior to cats. You're a furmidable opponent but I'm feline sad that you don't see it the truth behind the meowntain.

Did you see a programmer dog ? Nah

3 cats made STRAY, check this, all hooman were only there to feed them (not to worry, no hoomans were injuring during the development of the game and dogs were furbidden).

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Want to get this

But dont want to pay full price

and dont want to sub to PS premium or whatever

 

[anothertech]

This is too good.

Now we need a Black Tiger remake.

So you wait for the
Next PSN sale, otherwise
Try buying Extra

(you really need to work on your haiku game)

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Cool, will get it for "free" with my PS+ sub, thanks uncle Jimmy

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

The PSPlus layout is pretty garbage. This game was nowhere on the main pages, yet I could see it was an included game when I manually searched for it.

Sony have to make this better.

 

[Badlucktroll]

This is made by Anapurna, aren't they rumored to be one of the developers working on Silent Hill?

 

[Ansphn]

Maybe gofundme?

 

[RoadHazard]

Seems pretty good. I love cats. Will play through the Best Deal In Gaming™.

 

[Valedix]

You could say those reviews are purrrfect

 

[RoadHazard]

I believe they are only the publisher, they publish a lot of indie stuff from different developers (not sure if they make games themselves at all).

Indeed, Annapurna Interactive is only the publisher, the dev of STRAY is BlueTwelve Studio.

... It's not even out yet. PS plus section which is super simple and the point and the ps store will get an update as per usual.

 

[BadBurger]

For the Steam version, on Steam OS, I wonder if Valve will be able to work their preshader caching and shader optimizations magic to prevent the stuttering. Epic should be able to do the same from EGS now (they do it for Tiny Tina's AFAIK).

Two hours until play time here.

 

[GenericUser]

I'll wait till it's under 15 bucks. As far as I can tell, it's still "only" a good looking walking simulator with a cat.

 

[Salz01]

What's the performance on ps5? I can't find anything about it. Like what the technical aspect of it is.

Well, if you're always removing mechanisms from a game like that (puzzles/adventure here), basically everything is a walking simulator ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Punished Miku]

The EZA review makes it sound pretty fun.

 

[mhirano]

A Sony game starring a pussy?
I bet the Japanese version is censured somehow

To each their own

 

[GhostOfTsu]

How come it's not live yet on PSN?

Fuck you Sony

EGM - Josh Harmon - 4 / 5

Stray does a great job at letting you act like a cat, turning a wide range of true-to-life feline behaviors into clever gameplay mechanics. But it's much less successful at making you truly feel like a cat, as the game's more conventional approach to its gameplay and story routinely shatters your immersion in odd ways. If you can suspend your disbelief and look past the missed opportunity of a more cohesive experience, however, there's a lot to like in its moody cyberpunk world and varied challenges.

This is why this is not for me. I was up for some good slick cat gameplay but this seems like a bunch of context sensitive qte's

 

[Kenneth Haight]

I know right. What are they waiting for.

 

[supernova8]

So... Kitty walking sim? Or is there a bit more to it? Getting some mixed signals from those reviews.

Yeah seems like a lot of "looks great but gameplay is a bit meh samey". If so those review scores are a bit OTT

Disappointed by lack of real platforming.

It's press a button to reach that platform, when prompt appears.

Maybe puzzles are good, so will reserve judgement till I play it.

I still haven't found a quick and easy way to access the whole PS+ Extra catalog. Have to go through like 4 steps and then scroll down and select show all.

Most annoying part though is that when you open a game and go back you start all the way at the top of the list again.

It's really bad.

(Before the platform warriors come along: Yes, PC GamePass UI and Nintendo eShop fucking suck too.)

What's wrong with GamePass UI on PC? I'm downloading As Dusk Falls now and it's the most basic, clean UI you can think of. A grid of all available games with some really good filtering options. All my installed games easily accessible from the left sub-menu. It's okay.

It's pretty awful for browsing.

Same as PS Store it doesn't remember where you were so you after scroll through the whole catalog again if you looked at a game. And you have to select a game to be able to add it your play later list it which makes it even worse.

Then if you want to remove games from that list you have to select each one again and unlist them.

It's a basic UI that fails at the most basic things.

Makes sense. I never use "play later" functionality so I was not even aware. The only saving factor is that with mouse wheel you can quickly scroll to where you were before. But I agree, it should remember your filters/scrolling position when you go back. Basic things.

A good UI should focus on game discovery. Like Steam. I've found so many cool games that I wouldn't otherwise thanks to Steam.

 

[Lux R7]

good scores!
gonna play this on pc

 

[Karppuuna]

What's the performance on ps5? I can't find anything about it. Like what the technical aspect of it is.

it's locked 60fps and i'm assuming its 4K because so low recommend specs in PC.

 

[PanzerAzel]

This may be a dumb question, but how am I supposed to play this thing? I see others are playing it, yet in the PSN screen it on gives me a wishlist and follow option. No DL link? No preload?
