I can see the game,t here's simply no "add to cart" or anything anymore.
Neither via the ps4 console or the website.

Same here.
I have waited too long for it for this to happen.
I tried forcing it to download from the web store but nothing happens.
Okay, I just did the download from the web store and it worked - downloading. Try it now!

I'm kind of surprised at how many people buy digital. It's so expensive, lol. I fund most of my game purchases by trading in old ones at retail. I fear buyer's remorse on some titles, so I like the ability to take 'em back or trade, etc.
Anyway, I'm blown away that we now live in a world where both FFXV and TLG have been released. Crazy.

Damn man...tearing up in here....
the feels from the stories...
whoa
@MattyG I've heard turning the camera's movement faster should improve its function.

2.5 hours in, same old tech problem just like all Ueda games, camera control felt a little to heavy especially try to look up, can't turn off control prompt.
None of those matter, love it, Trico too cute, feel like a living companion like the first time I hold Yorda hand.

Yup. First thing I did is crank up camera sensitivity

Very possible Amazon won't get me the game until Wednesday. I really frickin hate Amazon! Have I not waited enough you bastards. Knew it.
Throw the three barrels of food into the water and Trico will jump into it
Yup, that definitely helps a bit. Still not ideal in terms of feel, but nothing that ruins the experience.
Amazon/UPS/etc, get yo shit together pls.

There's pro mode but it looks like it's all forced in game. No HDR toggle either, which sucks
That means you have by default:
4k checkerboard + hdr (if your tv supports it)
You can turn off HDR manually in your ps4 video settings and in there you can set it to only output 1080, which will force the game to run in 1080 mode with a more stable framerate
Loving the game so far.
But it really must be said- why in the hell is the camera like this??? Just make it a normal responsive third person camera, like every third person game ever created. It's mind boggling why the camera is an absolute sluggish mess with different dampening at every angle, even with sensitivity all the way up.

Wow this really controls like absolutely nightmarish garbage, huh? Camera, movement, and controls are combining to make me feel like I'm a drunk in a tar pit.

Yes definitely. You're gonna wanna turn it up 3 or 4 notches. Makes it way better. The camera basically lags behind your input a good 2 seconds

Ignoring camera and frame rate, this is incredible so far.

Can someone PM me or something and tell me (just a yes or no) if the ending is as obvious as we might be thinking in regards to the creature or if there is some sort of twist or something? I just wanted to know if the game is predictable story wise in that sense but or is it like a "holy crap" what just happened kind of story with twists. No spoilers just a yes or no with the predictability and maybe a vague description. Thank you!

No way to turn off the control prompts? Do they go away eventually?
So there's no downsampling? That sucks.. a bit less aliasing would be nice.

Certain ones seem to have gone away for me
I no longer get basic ones like jump or pull or pick up

Thanks for the answer
It's hilarious my cat seems to have taken a huge interest in what must be the ruffling of Trico's feathers haha
She's popping up and clawing the air in front of the TV and making weird cute meows. She's never taken notice of the TV before.

I really want this, and it looks beautiful but I have no tolerance for those terrible Ico controls and camera anymore. It isn't the PS2 era anymore. Should I just wait for a price drop?

Ico gave me some feels, Shadow really gave me feels to the point of watery eyes, not sure how that bodes for me and Last Guardian. Oh dear. Now I have a pet, married with wife and kid. Damn a lot has changed in 10 years.

I can't believe I'm playing this
It's so wonderful - trico is just... real.

I only played for an hour this evening after the digital download unlocked. Impressions so far:
The start is everything I expected. The title feels like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus in a good way. The same aesthetic and early sense of exploring your capabilities and environment brought back memories. While not as clean as something like Ratchet and Clank, the visuals on the PS4 Pro with a 4K display are crisp and well defined. There's some aliasing along edges and shimmering textures but it's better than FF XV in that respect. HDR really suits the visual style of the title and is used to good effect even early on.
The controls suit the game. No, you don't have pinpoint precision in your controls, and it can feel like the camera is fighting you. Neither of these should be surprising to anyone familiar with Ueda's prior work. The camera wants to show you something of interest. It has an artistic goal as well as providing hints, so it's trying to serve these needs. The controls suit the stumbling struggle of the character and I haven't found them particularly objectionable because I don't expect it to be a precision platformer or a competitive shooter.
It's a love letter expressed in animation. More than anything else, the game conveys what it has to say through lovingly crafted animation. If you aren't soaking in the body language of Trico and trying to get a sense for what he wants and what he is thinking then you're missing the entire point of the game. I've been blown away by how expressive he is even in the early going.
I plan to take my time with the game because I know it's going to be altogether too short. I hope there's enough variety in puzzles and environments to keep it from feeling repetitive, but so far I'm delighted that the title finally made it out into the world.
