Apocasy Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I would assume they pushed back the date because it’s a pretty competitive slot. Got Spider-Man 2, Lord of the fallen, super Mario bros wonder all releasing in the same week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatMuttGuy Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Won't get Baldur's Gate 3 cause no physical, so I'm certainly not getting this one either. I honestly don't mind buying digital games when it's in a sale, but taking that choice away is stupid. Oh well, I'm sure it will be free one day anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they're are saving the difficult trophies for the DLC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the difficulty in this one will come from the collectibles? With the way this game is where you can create your own paths and stories maybe the collectibles will be highly missable. But I guess that would only be hard for guide makers like yourself cause it would take a lot of time to figure stuff out. We'll see in a few days i guess.

Ninailez Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Personally, I enjoy a challenge. Thats what trophy hunting is all about. Triple A games all have ridiculously easy plats nowadays and its throughly disappointing. They do it to satisfy the casuals who play their games, yet Casuals just dismiss them. And us trophy hunters are left with a crummy list. Also no physical release!???? I was gonna support Remedy and pay full price but thats over. No intention of buying digital at full price. I'll only buy digital in a deep, deep sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vault-TecPhantom Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Having just come off the remaster of the original I'm really excited for this one. Looks incredible, and Remedy never misses AFAIC. Pending reviews, I'll probably get this later next month. Hopefully, the framerate is solid, and when I say "solid" I mean 60FPS...unlike a certain other "Solid" game that had the cheek to release a "remaster" in 30fps... but that aint my business though.

Notice how most Sony first party games have really high plat percentages from casuals? That's because the trophy lists enhance the experience, as opposed to detract from it. A good platinum is neither "difficult" nor "easy". A good platinum is one that encourages the player to explore a little bit of everything while demanding that you understand all the systems and mechanics within the game completely. Difficulty can force you into improving your understanding of how a game works, but it's not necessarily a plus in and of itself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valyrious Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Review embargo is October 26th, 9am EST. Expect very high scores. I think Alan Wake 2 is going to shock a lot of people. After completing Control (+ expansions) and Alan Wake Remastered, I am quite confident that it will contend with FFXVI for my personal GOTY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the game runs at locked 30 fps on consoles...dont think it has a performance mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me wants to play it in 30fps. I think Remedy makes the best "film" inspired games in the entire industry. I know a lot of people are Kojima fans, but I think Sam Lake is such an innovative creator, it's criminal how much he's slept on. Hopefully AW2 is the game that really puts Remedy on the map for the mainstream. Since gameplay isn't going to be anywhere near as involved as Alan Wake (OG/Remastered) or Control were, they can get away with 30fps. But everybody will still want 60fps for sure. Two playthroughs for both experiences is something I am going to covet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if their games werent actually survival horror games surely had some creepy and disturbing moments. Also the way they fit gameplay elements into the narrative its so good, i havent seen many games accomplish that so seamlessly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, Nightmare mode in the original game was a bit of a misnomer, since it was pretty much identical to Normal mode anyways - the only real difference was some extra collectibles. It's not very easy to make a "hard mode" for a game like the original Alan Wake, because without an XP mechanic, there isn't any reason to actually kill the enemies, you are mostly just stunning and running past them - so making them take more ammo to kill didn't really make any difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the whole "it was made with 30fps in mind" is concerning (hence why I'm waiting on reviews). I know there will be a performance mode but I wouldn't be surprised if it's wobbly. And yeah, I'm the same - once you play in higher framerates it's hard to go back. With old games it's not so bad because the graphics are less detailed but with newer games it's unbearable. I love Starfield but I never got over how framey it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akrioz Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I just hope it's not another Control-level fiasco on launch. That game was barely playable on base PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vexogram Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Not convinced it will be an entirely 'easy' trophy list considering some collectibles were tied to difficulty in the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
