10:28am Still no sign of the postman, I'm trying to decide whether I could have a shower and still hear a knock on the door or whether I should leave a note for the postman. |

Shower with the window and front door wide open. You're bound to hear the postman then. |

I do wonder if "I'm in the shower, come on in the doors open" would leave the wrong message. |

I'm guessing you don't have Prime then? Whilst Amazon are pretty good at everything else, I don't think they're very good at getting games to you on day one. |

"Ready for delivery" That better mean an actual postman or woman currently has it in their van. |

Doesn't it mean that it's still on the shelf in the Amazon warehouse, ready for someone to pick it up, package it and initiate the delivery? |

I'm a couple of hours in. So far it's everything I imagined and wanted, and watching Trico puts a smile on my face (I wish I had a dog). Not particularly tricky so far. The frame rate is fine, no problem with that at all. The camera can be a bit "retro". |
|
| Author: | Satsuma [ Sun Dec 11, 2016 0:51 ] |
| Post subject: | Re: The Last Guardian |
The camera is worse than Shadow of the Collosus and ICO combined though. The camera wants to control what you're looking at but doesn't do a good job of it at all and often just leaves you behind the scenery so you're wrestling control away from it constantly. The controls are iffy too as you don't have a grip button so, much like the camera, the game wants you to grip Trico when you want to jump off him so you're wrestling with the controls to gain control of your character which, again, is exhausting. There's a button to let go but it's counter intuitive. I just wish they'd have stuck with SOTC method. Apparently there "was" a grip button months ago but the late change has hurt the experience. And you also have to indirectly control of Trico to do what you want him to do. Now this is part of the experience and, for the most part, I don't mind this at all. You've just met this big bastard and while he's your mate he's not exactly domesticated. So you're wrestling with the commands to get Trico to do what you want and he's slow and sometimes what you think in your head is what you want him to do he's not always getting it first time or at all. The experience should be this alone but with the controls and camera to contend with it feels exhausting. It's beautiful and despite complaints I've read about it looking like a PS3 game, it really doesn't. It looks fantastic and I seriously doubt that even with all the will in the world they could have got this running on a PS3. Trico is this massive moving platform. You just want to watch him and see what he's doing all the time. How he's interacting with the world, his tics, his mannerisms and so on. He's clearly the star of the show and the irritations in the mechanics really detract from what a fabulous thing he is as he moves about. Oh and the orchestral score really is fabulously understated. It's not exactly on par with the rousing tunes of SOTC but it does a terrific job and is a pleasure to listen to as it hums away in the background in certain moments. I've not really noticed any of the frame rate issues mind. I noticed a drop at one point but only because I was looking for it but since I've just let myself enjoy the game I haven't had any technical complaints. Certainly not the PS2 SOTC style problems with frame rates (which I can't even remember now since my most recent memories are of the buttery smooth PS3 version) So far so good though, but what a shame about the camera and controls, aye? Tch. At least it exists. And it defaults to HDR on HDR compatible TVs which is awesome. |
