There's a certain point for a story beat where only Ignis can drive the car, you're probably at that section.

Yeah i dont know whats the deal with the manual driving, im only able to drive at night.
That's the thing. Everytime I read something like "Huh, this game has no color." or "In this version the colors are better." I think why don't they just adjust their TV to their likings?

Ok I played a decent amount and I think I'm going to stop(to not spoil myself), it's fun enough not perfect but definitely serviceable(the problems I had still persist, I feel like if they had some form of animation cancel that would help me).
Now just waiting for someone to finish it and confirm that it doesn't fall apart at the end and I think this is going to be a buy. But overall the demo definitely has made way more enthusiastic. My confidence level in the game has basically gone from this could totally not be for me to at worst it's going to be something like an AC game(and I like those enough to play one once a while), a good fun way to kill time.
The characters are likable so far and if they all go through a decent arc throughout the game it could be something really great.
Well done.

Is there a translation of the menus anywhere (I'm struggling)? What I played looks good, runs smoothly and seems fun (standard PS4). I hope there is a way to keep lock on without holding down the button.

How are you guys finding the control schemes?
Better than Platinum at least?

Digital Foundry announced a video for this at the TLOU comments on youtube. Interested to see the differences in detail (framerate, resolution, etc.)

If playing on pro its enabled by default.
Uhhhhhhhhhhh. It's REALLY hard to beat Platinum at action combat, I'm not sure why you're even making that comparison.
edit: nevermind, I brainfarted and thought of MGR/Bayonetta when I read that. If you're talking about walking around and bopping things with a toy hammer, yes, obviously it's a lot better than that, heh.
Oh, really? Is it like the air dodge you have with Fire equipped in the Platinum Demo, but for all weapons?

It wasn't for me. I had to manually switch to the high quality mode.
Where is this in the options?
Next time, just let Ignis drive. You're a menace to the roads!
This is life changing. o_o

Hit start, go to the third option from the bottom, then scroll all the way down to the last option (under HDR; it says HDR in english, so that works as a reference ) and choose the top option after that.

Awwww nooooo you can't enter the dungeon in the demo? I was planning on doing that later today

Falk pls lol
Was wondering why you were having a go at me for the first sentence
Is it sharper in terms of input lag/animation priority (whatever it was that made it feel like Noctis was reacting to inputs very slowly) than it was in PD? Also didn't feel comfortable with the scheme in PD, especially when trying to change targets while in the midst of battle.

You can't. I tried 2 dungeons and both were blocked.
The fuck is my car doing inside of the restaurant in this position...
I can't talk to the guy to buff me up for the night fights because the car is on my way and I can't jump there lol.
Looks like it's part of the 50s style decor.

This game is basically the JRPG + WRPG mix I never knew i wanted as bad as i do now
Huge amount of space to cover like a Western game, but the game rewards you for random exploration like a JP game. I keep coming across new enemies, gear, weapons, ect. And entrances to dungeons and whatnot that I can't yet enter because it's a demo.
Found this while exploring around the Adamantoise. It gives the option to crouch under, but obviously doesn't let you inside.
I love the fact that this thing exists so much. It's basically Square acknowledging players who are clearly looking for a challenge, and giving one to them.
I've already dropped the
, so after i find a way to take this guy down i'm going to force myself to put the demo away.
I regret watching the first part of this game so much. I felt like I had already seen everything this area basically had to offer....the more i wonder around, the more obvious it is that we havent.

The Lv30 Iron Giant basically exists to deter you from exploring at night, but if by chance you're the type of player to strive to take one down, Hell gets pissed off with you and starts throwing these assholes. The coolest thing is, the regular Iron Giant's sword is has a massive collision box that takes hits but (obviously) does no damage to the giant. This guy's sword is on fire, and so touching it gives you Burn status. And he's bigger, so although his attacks are the same, he has alot more reach. It's such an interesting way to design an improved enemy, usually games would just buff the stats and increase the scale a bit.

Yeah, don't get it. Maybe pre-orders in the West are good enough already.
The battle theme sounds so good omg

Don't be surprised if this makes it's way to NA PSN before release. Didn't they do something similar with WoFF?
No idea about WoFF, but I was thinking the same thing about NA PSN. Like, I could see Judgment being available like a week before actual release.

Re: blocked dungeons, do we know if they're blocked until you take a relevant quest in the full game, or are they just blocked for the purposes of the demo?
I'd kinda appreciate it if its the first, to try and cut down on having to repeat dungeons if you happen to explore one without it being tied to a quest

The text blocking you from entering them specifically has "Judgment Disc" in the text, so it's probably just blocked for demo purposes. And i believe all the dungeons you can just walk into randomly are optional. From watching other people play around in them, the only thing really stopping you from completing them is getting Game Over'd by the enemies.
There are other areas in the game that are likely blocked off for story purposes, though. I came across one of the tombs and wasn't let in.

How do you go about downloading it on a NA PS4? Sure, I won't understand a lick of it, but still like to see the performance since its part of the gold master?

I see that's really good news to me then. Is it reasonably unlockable in the demo?
I've played in a way where I would get spoiled as minimal as possible so I haven't really looked at it.
If the answer is yes I think I might play a bit more just to play around how it feels with it.

Hold down your ps button and on the power menu, go to log out of ps4. Create new user, create new psn, do Japan as your region and then use a guide or youtube video to follow the prompts. Make sure to say yes to activating as your primary ps4. Then go to the ps store on the JP account to initiate the download, switch to your Eng account and start it when it finishes

Anyone know what to do here? Nothing is on that spot at all.
Is that the goblin hunt?
I think they might be in the inaccessible dungeon.
There's a small chance they only come out at night, I suppose.
Haven't tried that yet.

IQ is fine, hair aliasing takes getting used to but it's not going to spoil your experience. Framerate has "dips", but is stable 95% of the time, even with tons of enemies and effects happening. You probably won't even notice during actual fights, and it's never enough to hinder gameplay or raise an eyebrow.
The only real technical problem this game has, barring a bug or two, is the camera. We've had some shitty people demo this game, but now i understand why at least they seem so inept at controlling the camera. Its angle tends to not agree with the terrain in alot of areas, so you'll do something like get a sexy Linkstrike, but with a bush in the camera's face.
But Square already announced a day 1 patch to help with the camera, so i'm not worried.
It's news to me too, i didn't know that. That would make more busy fights alot easier to manage.
Without the ability to easily cancel into dodge/parry, it gives the game a strong Monster Hunter vibe where you just have to know when and when not to commit to attacks. But when alot of mobs are running around, it ultimately just means you're going to get hit sometimes. I should find that skill asap.
Description says they only appear in the middle of the night.
