Am I the only one who wished we didn't see the the helicopter guy at the end? I mentally put myself in a space where I didn't expect or want to see any character models the entire game, and having him at the end broke the spell at the last second for me.

Finished this game last night. I liked how to made me feel relaxed but also very sad at the same time. I then had a dream that I was playing Firewatch and there was an angry mob mode where an angry mob would chase you around the wilderness.

Finally got around to playing this, and have skimmed the thread. I tend to agree with the people who said that this would have been an infinitely better game had they cut the whole grand-conspiracy-that-wasn't arc. You could still have had the Brian stuff, but I think the whole Wapati Meadow bit makes everything around it worse. The game was beautiful, walking around it was good, and the conversations with Delilah were believable. It almost feels like (and this probably wasn't actually what happened, but...) the devs didn't trust the audience to be willing to play a game without a psuedo-science fiction plot, so they shoehorned one in where it didn't need to be. It's a shame, because I really enjoyed all the more grounded aspects. Still, worth playing though.

Well, they probably shouldn't, considering the way Gone Home was received. I honestly liked that arc, though - raised the tension a bit and drove the story along.

They are adding dev commentary and a free roam mode where you get to walk around the place with a day/night cycle going. Sounds pretty neato!

So I'm a bit weird in that an in-game museum, especially a dev-commentary museum, takes a game from 'good' to 'can't miss'. So I am super stoked about this guided walking tour of a walking simulator.

I got to the end of Day 79 with all the cassettes marked off on the map, but one empty bubble left in the checklist on the side. So I assume that there must be one cassette at Delilah's station, except when I get there I find two of them. Which makes me wonder if there was a single unmarked cassette on the map, and then I remembered the unmarked cassette station that was crushed by the avalanche on the Thorofare Trail, and I'm wondering if that becomes active after whichever day I collected the turtle. Also, yes, the commentary mode is pretty great, except you can miss them, especially during the montage in the middle. Fortunately, the game now makes backup saves at the beginning of each day, unfortunately once you get to Delilah's station it somehow seems to ignore the save files entirely.

Ah yeah you found the one secret track - kiosk 13 on day 79. I don't know quite what you mean about ignoring saves at Delilahs tower. (Though note, you cannot save once the final radio call starts.)

So you can copy e.g. 2_Day_33.sav over 2.sav for that terrible moment when you learn that there is a Day 34 that you never knew existed or for when you're too busy looking at the sunset to grab the cassette or whatever, but as best I can tell once you're at Delilah's tower, loading slot 2 ignores 2.sav completely. I assumed that the game was loading from endgame.dat instead of 2.sav, but I got busy doing other things instead of Firewatch save scumming.

Weird, will investigate. Really it's a development deal that will hopefully one day yield a movie. (Still exciting, though!)

The premise of firewatch is really really good so if they get the execution a little better in the movie it could be really great I think.

Speaking of US Old Boy, Josh Brolin could pull off Henry. On the other hand, this is the role Russell Crowe's beer gut has been preparing for.

Spent a few days to replay this on the PS4, collecting all of the tapes I could for the Audio Tour. It was a pretty bold idea, though a bit frustrating at times (Such as with the tape that is on a completely missable day that is only available on that day). It was an interesting idea for a commentary like this though and I'm glad it was tried out. In replaying the game I had found an area I had never actually seen before- Ned's actual bunker. Somehow I had completely missed the hatch to the underground portion. I thought his "big hideout" had just been that pile of trash and the chair or whatever that's there, haha. It was a cool feeling, finding something new in an area I thought I knew most of the details of already. Anyways, has anyone else tried the Audio Tour? Also, what about the freeroam mode we heard about a few months ago? Whatever happened to that? ja2ke posted:Ah yeah you found the one secret track - kiosk 13 on day 79.

I think this game is on the list for a HDR update with the PS4Pro if you're looking for a reason to replay it.

synthetik posted:I think this game is on the list for a HDR update with the PS4Pro if you're looking for a reason to replay it. Not HDR. We are updating PS4 to 10 bits per color channel instead of 8 across the board, so there is a bit more range and vibrancy in general in the next patch, but it's not "HDR color." (The games colors are all hand authored in standard range color and moving to HDR would be... weird and not desired in our specific case!) We are also running at 1440p with 4K UI if your Pro is plugged into a 4K TV, with slightly pumped up foliage density. (A Pro plugged into a 1080p TV will see even more dense foliage and some draw distance extensions.) Also the free roam mode (a very light weight but pleasant mode!) is making its way to PS4 with that update. More on it in the next day basically! ja2ke fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Nov 8, 2016 |

Dark_Swordmaster posted:Does this extend to the PC release? Will I notice it without a new monitor? The color change is not on PC (and wouldn't require a new monitor anyway). I don't think the color range will be missed on PC. Things always just looked a tad muted on PS4 compared to PC but they don't anymore. PC release already has the new 4K UI (that got patched in last week in a steam update), so if you have a 1440p or 4K display, the UI will now be crisp and not pixelated for you.

Is it worth getting? Do the tracks flow into each other in any way? It looks cool but I don't know if it would be worth it to put it on the record player and listen all the way through.
