Yeah, the voices are muffled and a bit out of sync during the opening, which is kind of annoying. I wonder if they did it in a hurry. I noticed that the animation and character design of the opening is not as good as the rest of the game. Maybe they did the opening last?

Oh that's what it is. Now I'm less interested, especially considering Emily seems like a real bitch to me for now. Glad I didn't pay extra for this.
By the way, how do checkpoints work in the game ? I had to stop in the middle of a chapter (
In the sanitarium with Mike
Glad I'm not the only one. The beginning feels rushed, indeed like they added that old sequence at the last minute.
The minute you see a fade-to-black, I found that's usually the place where the game saves itself. I did a lot of video recording via PS4 internal functionality because recording via Twitch and UStream was not allowed. So I often have to stop every 15 minutes to record the game. Whenever I stop at a fade-to-black, the game usually correctly continues itself from that point forward.
Game is actually saving for more than that. Generally when you get a collectible it will save. Definitely during a butterfly effect.
It is a very dumb move since there is a collectible in the scene.
Picked this up this morning, finished it about 30 minutes ago. All in all it was a fun game, albeit a little bit short.
Is it really possible to finish it without anyone dying? I just can't see how. I'll probably do one more play through and want to get as many survivors as possible.

Decided not to rent it again so I have to wait until Saturday to finish. Almost completed a play through.
How many playthroughs for all the trophies. I'm on ch.9 and only got 2.

Thanks guys, I'm relieved. I'm exploring every nook and cranny so I picked up a bunh of stuff for sure. This chapter is pretty intense so far so I'm glad I won't ruin it by playing it again so soon.
Wait, you can't get the platinum without playing that scene then ?
I really hope the game will be a success, it deserves it. It's cool that it got a little bit extra late marketing. Like just this morning I saw a segment about it on a national news channel. They pretty much never talk about videogames.

Feels like it. Harsh cuts as well and the framerate tanks a lot here. Facial animation in general is best on Stormare and during some of the emotional dialog. I bet that's the stuff they polished the most. Some of the normal banter or when they smile just looks incredibly creepy, they hold the expression for a bit too long and it looks off. It gets especially bad when the framerate takes a dip at the same time, as it looks like the animation looses a lot of frames as well and it appears more rough.

I believe it's even more than what they said. The game is always saving. So at any time you can quit and start off right where you left off. I think someone tried it earlier in the thread.

It's such a shame this game runs so badly, it's interesting to me but I know I couldn't enjoy it after watching the tech analyse. I know a lot of people can look past it but I can't (wish I could).
Two max if you find all the collectibles.
One of the trophies is for the totems. And there is a totem in that scene.
Beat the game. At best you can start from the nearest chapter.
So badly? Define "So badly. . ."
Why would you want to do that! I think you can load seperate episodes, but maybe that's just an endgame thing, I'm not sure.
I made a few mistakes I regretted, but just keep going! That's the point of the game!

Outside of the prologue and the scene where you need to choose between Ashley and Josh you can save everyone.

Great, I was worried because I can't find an autosave icon anywhere.
Well that's bullshit.

Just started it, cant believe I got a death in the first ten minutes of starting the game.
that's crazy, some deaths feel so unpreventable! I wonder how many play throughs its going to take me to pull that off
Only two people died in the end for me,
Awesome game, really enjoyed it. Emily is a bitch though, fuck her.
If so, you can get that elsewhere earlier than that part. I did.
Matt (don't know how I would have saved him) and Josh (got dragged away by the Hannah wendigo.

Are you talking about
early on in that scene with Matt? Pretty much right as you get control?

If you mean the scene where you need to choose between him and Ashley, then no, dont worry about it is all I will say.

Spending a hefty amount of time in the low 20s, and dipping under 20. That to me is very bad.

Watched a bit of the GT Twitch stream but paused and bought the game. Love adventure type games so I'll do a playthrough then pick it back up.

Currently on Chapter 4 I believe. Luckily everyone is still alive so far though that's actually kind of questionable at the moment. Can't wait to get back and see what happens.
Side note, does anyone else think the audio levels are a little jacked up? It feels like the dialog is rather low in comparison with the music and soundeffects.
Another side note, hot damn the cinematography in this game is outstanding!

20 fps is pretty shoddy performance
It doesn't affect the gameplay much in this type of game but people sensitive to framerate will be driven crazy
There's no way the majority of my game was spent in 20 FPS land. Not even close.
If you grind through it you can probably do it in 7 hours.

I took a little over 7 hours, but saved most of the characters
until the very end
I'm not complaining, though. I think thats a good length.

I didn't say a majority I'm just going by the analysis video, it's far from being a rare occurrence
I've been mostly satisfied with my gameplay experience as well

What kind of voodoo did they use for these graphics?! It can go from good looking to the best looking game I've ever seen! Sometimes it can look pretty much photo realistic.
I just spent like 10 minutes with the game paused twirling Emily's head around and just admiring the character model. It's blowing my mind.

I think I'll try to kill everyone bar Emily just for the lol. Can't wait for Weekend.
I'd be curious if that's possible.

It's most assuredly possible.
I don't like how they laugh and the look of their teeth, the rest is really great.
Not really. There's definitely logic, but you have to take into account the butterfly effect. For all you know you could have chosen the right choice, but you made the wrong one earlier which led to the character still dying.

It can definitely look off at times, but when they get it right it looks unreal. The amount of detail on the character models is off the charts.
.....
Of all the characters to admire...
LOL.
I kinda like Emily.
I agree, some of Jessica's smiles are nightmare inducing. Overall the game looks amazing though.

Even though I know it's not necessary, I condone this digital act, one of the most unlikable characters I've experienced in a game.
The writers clearly intend for the player to hate Emily, but for some reason I like her. Not even sure why, since she's not the nicest person. I thought it was pretty cool how she's this prissy stuck up chick, but
BTW, is it possible to have no deaths? Sometimes it seems like I do everything right and someone still dies.
when it came time to survive, she got through the mines and escaped that monster (well, at least in my play) like a boss without anyone's help -- and that was the most deadly and scary seeming area of the game so far.

I keep telling myself
"Mike turns out to not be such a bad person so he must have seen something in Emily that the rest of us are not seeing to the point that he wants to date her. But damn it, she's such a BITCH. And she's not even that hot."
