Downloaded the demo on PS4 last night, but haven't gotten a chance to play it yet. Since the wife was watching her TV shows, I was going to fire up my Vita and get my Remote Play on. Too bad I didn't realize my Vita was dead and needed to be recharged first. 
Tonight I'm definitely going to give it a whirl and see what I think. Since I have $10 chillin' in my PSN wallet from getting my PS4, I'm actually thinking about double dipping on XB1 too; you know, show my support of such projects by letting my wallet do the talking. Between the $10 on PSN and the $3 I have on XBL, it'd only cost me $17 for both versions out-of-pocket. Not bad at all.
Heck, I double dipped on Daytona USA w/o any sort of preexisting credit to burn.

Hard is definitely the way to go, normal is ridiculously easy. You can just barrel through everything without even trying.
Hard mode makes the game more enjoyable.
Oh and for people looking to collect everything, the game has missable items.

The [Balrog Airship] area near the end of the game isn't accessible after you finish it. There's 4-5 Large Health Crates in there that count towards your completion %, make sure to grab them while you're there!

I have the same video card. Game is installing right now, what do I need to prepare myself for? I have DX11 installed but obviously the card doesn't direct support 11's features. Did I just waste $15?
Nope, that's it. You do unlock time trial levels and some survival arenas though, haven't tried them yet.

Ok after updating my video drivers it now works...
You can via binds_pc.cfg in the game directory.

Hard feels really challenging at the very beginning but by the 3rd boss I was tanking hits like a boss with only 3 HP upgrades, long way to go though.

Oddly, no
dammit. told myself i wouldn't let my backlog get out of control on the ps4. told myself i would not by this until i finished ac4. played the demo and sure enough here i am with a backlog. fuck my impulsive ways. great game though. reminds me of my youth striding along slashing fools.

Game is excellent so far, just got the double jump and quit.
I play on Normal but I do die now and then. You have to clear sections, the game does throw you back a bit if you die. It does get much easier now that I have some upgrades though.

Game doesn't even look like it has any DX11 specific features like Tesselation that'd warrant its exclusivity. In fact, it being also available for the older gen consoles (PS360) means that they could've easily targetted it down for DX9.0c cards but chose not to.
64bit only support is also pretty odd, but acceptable.
Bah, I'm bummed that I'll have to play this on my desktop instead of my oldish DX10 laptop which I prefer for mobility.

Damn it, that's the issue? A waste of $12 then for me. I checked and can run up DX10 on my laptop. Most games on medium settings are fine for me. I didn't think a 2D platformer like this would have an issue like this.
Damn, I thought having DX11 installed would be okay, didn't realize there was a difference between having DX11 and having DX11 hardware
Man, now more so than last night, I've really seen the reason for the talk about backtracking and metroidvania in Strider. I need whatever weapon to break through the red barriers. Looks like I haven't scratched the surface yet. Literally.
No handholding from the game, and no spoilers please.
Can't believe this game was only 15 bucks.

Unless you prefer waiting to see if they'll fix this, it would be a fairly convincing argument to return the game on steam.

But I didn't get it from Steam, got it through Gamefly because it was discounted there
Aww man that kills for it me =/...

Damn...Well, maybe you could try talking to gamefly support? it's still a good argument. I Don't remember reading the game would be DX11 exclusive anywhere, so it isn't a case where you were misinformed or didn't research before buying it.But I didn't get it from Steam, got it through Gamefly because it was discounted there

I'm a good bit bummed because I too don't have a DX11 card. I got it from GMG for $12 so I'll just keep it in my Steam library for now for when I do eventually upgrade the card. I'll probably pick the game up this afternoon on my 360, I liked what I saw in the demo.
Slightly off topic, any recommendations on a decent DX11 card that will still work with my C2D E8500 in a PCIe 2.0 slot? Not sure if that's still the norm (slot).

Started last night on hard and loving it. I didn't try normal or easy, but feel like hard should be what the default is. There's enough damage being thrown at you where you have to make some effort to dodge, but its not overwhelming.
/The /feel/ of 1080p/
Are you playing in fullscreen mode? Resolution scaling doesn't seem to work properly with it enabled. I'm forced to play in windowed mode for now if I want it to be 1080+

dead in the face compared to their artwork for sure, especially when the camera is up close.
I was having the same trouble and I had to enable GPU scaling in my card options to fix it.

played the demo on PS4 and 360. it looks sharper/plays smoother on nextgen
but the difference is really not that dramatic as you might fear. great game on both platforms.
Most of the footage shown is PS3/360 footy. It's basically less particles, no hair effects, and a locked 30 in framerate.

Great game! However, it looks like it's impossible to bind movement to the d-pad on the PC version. In the binds_pc.cfg file, movement is described as "forward" and "backward" which do not map correctly to the up and down buttons on the d-pad-- it gets weird, like down is up in the game, and you can only crouch if pressing left-down on the d-pad.
Has anyone else tried? I might be missing something, but I think it's just the nature of the game since movements aren't mapped to 8-directions (to account for cypher slash angles).
