get onto the rafters in the second room. climb on trico in the first room, where the knights were, and then walk to the next room from up there and you can climb onto the rafters and then up a chain

Your hint just helped me solidify that this game has the best 3D level design I've seen in years.
I was under the impression you finished it before reviews thread O_O
That water puzzle is the best
First of all, the graphics have improved since then and it's worthy of being called a current gen game and based on general impressions, it looks amazing. Secondly, the PS3 footage released were all sped up. Not excusing the performance but to say that it's a PS3 game is disingenuous.I am so tempted to buy this but the terrible frame rate on base PS4 is honestly a deal breaker considering this was supposed to be a PS3 game. I though at the bare minimum a locked 30fps at 1080p was a guarantee but apparently not. Hope a patch gets released.
These games always use a made up language.
Haha, no sorry. I was like middle/2-3rds but i couldn't play for a while due to work. Finished it tonight despite cutting seriously my sleep time =p
But that puzzle is good innit ? When I found out how to make it work, my mind went just "holy shit this is brilliant". There are so many puzzles like this in the game where everything is just...evident and organic. But since it's barely applied in games to this day, it manages to surprise
FYI, for anyone who bought the PS3 version, Best Buy is currently offering you $0.25 for the game.

Crazy they have a trade in, even low as it is, for a game that was never released.
I'm only about an hour in so far.
This game is beautiful and I'm into the pet sim aspect but I think the camera system is making me nauseated?
It's a little too close a lot of the time, I want to look at Trico and it's an effort.
Also, they really need a patch that makes it stop telling me the controls immediately. Let me fumble a bit first. Hopefully that eases up over time.
Really excited to keep playing this, but in no rush to finish. Going to play in short segments for now.

L1 focuses the camera on Trico
You can hit L1 to autofocus on Trico.
But I agree, the camera is pretty messy. I actually can't play the game in very large chunks of time due to the framerate and camera, it actually starts to hurt my eyes.

It rarely hits 30 frames per second, seems like half the time performance is in the low 20s and sometimes below that during set-pieces. So not great.
It's alright really. Far from optimal, but also far from the "unplayable" that people are touting around I find. The camera is the bigger issue in any case, but the framerate in itself isn't criminal.
I'm more surprised by the performances on the pro tho, expected it to run easily at 4k but apparently not so. I wonder if we're gonna have an overall performance patch soonish at least
If it's struggling that much on the base PS4 how would it run easily run at 4K on the Pro? People seem to underestimate how much power is required to run something at that resolution.

im guessing I'm 80% of the way through the game....man...I think this is my game of the year so far. It's not like I'm in love with the gameplay or puzzles...camera flat out sucks at times....but this game just has that special something--it's a special type of story and presentation that you just don't see this well done often.

How far am I when
And any idea how many hours I've played? I can't find a playtime counter
Trico just killed tons of guards while I opened the big doors for him. About 30 min after I start issuing commands?
And any idea how many hours I've played? I can't find a playtime counter
watching friend play and sounds about right. Fantastic game, beautiful game. Camera issues and stuff hamper it. Game requires a bit of patience, thats one thing i'll say. But watching trico develop is great mannnn
my friend has ps4 pro so stable performance
I hope naughty dog learns from this. This games puzzles make Uncharted's environmental puzzles feel juvenile and amateurish. Lol convenient crates!

Around 10 minutes in you will realise this in no way looks like a PS3 game, not even the slightest.I am so tempted to buy this but the terrible frame rate on base PS4 is honestly a deal breaker considering this was supposed to be a PS3 game. I though at the bare minimum a locked 30fps at 1080p was a guarantee but apparently not. Hope a patch gets released.
Improved sure. However comparing this game to some other first party games on PS4 even third party games it should be able to hit 30fps easily. having a locked framerate is not an unreasonable request to have on all PS4 models. Especially for a game that frankly does not seem to push any graphical boundaries.
Half the time below 20 fps? this was not my case, far from it.
Same. I started on base PS4 and it occasionally chugged to low 20s but could often stay in upper 20s or 30.
Nor did i say it looks like a PS3 game. But there are far better looking games on PS4 that managed not only to hit 30fps but 60fps.
Very late game spoilers, I need help.

I said half the time in the low 20s, not below 20. Every time you are at an open area, which is often, that is where I'd estimate the performance.

I'm almost 100% sure it is the way it is due to the framerate on base PS4. It does help when the performance tanks.
Try adjusting the camera speed and use L1 whenever you need to watch Trico.
weird indeed. cutscene should continue.
I'm not sure what you mean. I'm on a Pro and the camera is still terrible.
I mean, you're often in narrow areas which require you to climb on Trico to progress. The camera makes it a lot more annoying than it should.
But the thing that really kills me is the combat. Unless I missed a mechanic, I can't fight the armor so I try to climb on Trico as fast as possible. Literally every time this has happened (I'm only a few hours in), the camera flipped out as Trico pounced on everything in range, with my guy flailing in the foreground. I've only seen a few unobstructed shots of Trico mangling an armor set.
edit: Oh, and there was the one time that Trico decided to fixate on some blue jar when he was meant to go to the next room (I had already cleared the puzzle and I was no longer able to do anything with the jar).I tried *everything*. Reloading the checkpoint fixed it.
Yep, it does that when it gets too close to you. Like when it's pinned between you and a wall. It happens a *lot* in those combat scenes I mentioned.
I want to love this game, GAF. Aesthetically, it's perfect and oh god Trico is great.

I mean that when the framerate is low, for example during a set-piece on a base PS4, the fact that the camera pans in slowly helps the player deal with the framerate. It would feel much worse if the game camera was like in most games where it just snaps quickly to place. Now, if the game was 30fps on all platforms, the camera wouldn't make much sense beyond helping to focus on Trico.
But yes, it does also have issues indoors.

Thing is there are times in TLG where it looks like it's a contender for one of the most beautiful games ever.
Plus I would blame the CPU for this one. The AI for Trico himself and the physics system of his feathers alone is wonderfully complex.
That makes sense but I remember similar camera movements in Ico and SOTC. I figure the slow pans are part of Ueda's style. It seems to mesh better with the first two games though.
Having reading through this thread, many would disagree with you.

Came a little bit further yesterday, to the area where (early, but big spoiler)
So far the game is pretty damn good. The camera is too problematic and slow, especially in tight quarters where it tends to spazz out if Trico comes blocking, but other than that I'm still sold. What has surprised me so far is the variation in the events even this early in the game; if it keeps up, this will be a game for the ages.
you see the other Trico perched up on a beam in the distance.

I got a Pro tonight and it just makes the game that much better. I can't believe I'm not at the end yet. I've feel like I've gone through so much and I still got a way to go. I adore this game. So much. Thank you, Ueda, for making games like this happen. Never has gameplay told a story like this before, all in real-time!

I'm getting some really strong color banding, especially around water and dark areas. Is anyone else seeing this? (I'm on a PS4 Pro, 4K TV).
