We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
The patch to fix issues people were having is out. Just in case anyone was holding off on buying it for that reason.
This looks really cool. Probably my most anticipated game of the first half of the year.
Hoping it reviews well, so I can pick it up. Otherwise, been avoiding all media related to it, so as not to spoil myself. If it's anything like Rime (which I loved), will get it day 1.

There's no need for me to do what you think I'm doing. They have already confirmed they want to port the game to PC. I just hope it doesn't put too much financial pressure on them.
I mean, there are no impressions about whether it's good or not, so

You're very welcome! As a longtime Team Ico fan, Vane is one of those games that's been on my radar forever and I'm so glad to see it's finally here.
Thanks for dropping in! Not sure if you're the person to ask, but do you know if there's a release planned for the game's soundtrack? I haven't heard the full thing yet, obviously, but what I've heard in trailers has me interested in purchasing.
I've been following this since reveal and I was on the fence about pre-ordering, but I'm very low on funds at the moment so I'm going to sit this one out and wait for a significant sale. I hope it's good though and I'll be following this topic to check out opinions!
Wow! I remember seeing the teaser for this back during TGS 2014. I had to go back and see if this was really that same game; it looks very different from back then but the art style was really familiar.
I had totally missed that it was actually coming out, I thought it was vaporware at this point. Looks really cool though, will probably pick this up if the reviews are good!

I just hope the framerate is not jittery like the trailer suggests it will be. Or if it is like that, then I hope the game actually targets 60FPS, so the fluctuations seen in the trailer are fluctuations between 50-60FPS, rather than 25-30FPS.
Im downloading v1.02 right now. Hope its a fix for some bugs ive read about.
Good to hear
That first section when the music hits was REALLY cool, sounded amazing.
This has totally grabbed me from the start.

Don't know if it was one of the prior issues, but I just got stuck in a pushing-an-imaginary-object animation/state. After closing/restarting the application, it threw me back to the start of the 'second part'
So that was a bit of a bummer.
where you first start as a bird

I hope you like black bars cos this game has black bars.
So far RE: performance there is a little judder/stutter (base PS4) but nothing gamebreaking at this early point.
The bird requires X tapping to gain faster speed so hope you're ok with that and there is no way to customise controls. There's actually no options at all.

Here's a little tip: While tapping will accelerate you quickly from a standstill, finding a good rythm with long presses of the button will maintain the speed as you fly around. Diving will give you a speed boost, but going straight up takes a lot of effort.
You can also use the right trigger for flapping if you rather use your index than your thumb :)
No 4k or HDR support I'm afraid.
Yes, we want to release the OST at some point! Still working out the details around that.
If no way to turn them off... -_-
Hope devs will consider a future patch to remove them as a toggle, can't stand forced letterbox in games. Damn that's frustrating to hear.
I'll still get it
There's already walkthrough and gameplay videos on Youtube, if you 1) wanted to avoid spoilers or 2) wanted to see what the game looked/played like

Just a few more hours...
It's a really excellent theme, you all did an incredible job with it. It'll be on my dash for a long time for sure
Great theme. Replaced my TLOU 2 Ellie theme.... at least for the month lol
Thanks for replying.
I actually tried out holding the button right after posting that because I'd just been playing RDR2 before Vane unlocked.
It's cool so far, I'm glad the bird controls have a bit of nuance to them.
Game looks really cool, I wasn't planning on buying anything else this month but I might just have to pick this up, I love the visuals.
Man this one flew completely under my radar! Getting strong Ico and Rime vibes from this one. Hopefully it's better than Rime, I loved their atmosphere, but some of the spaces were a little cramped and gameplay at times was clumsy.
Hopefully this one turns up aces! Anticipates reviews....

I'm about 30 minutes in and it's far more of an Ico/SotC style game than a very linear, guided adventure game like Journey/Abzu. There's a lot of exploring and trying to figure things out.
I'm really enjoying it so far but I wish it had more polish. Platforming feels very clumsy and performance is pretty rocky. I also encountered one bug where I was stuck in the gliding animation and wouldn't let me turn, call or do anything. I ended up having to quit to the main menu and losing progress. But like I said, I'm still really enjoying it so far.
First impressions... gorgeous visuals, some of the exterior vistas evoke Ralph McQuarrie vibes. Initial platforming sections are pretty rough, collision detection/falling through the world bugs. Feels too floaty and imprecise, I just hit an invisible wall during a jump that sent me back to square one in this section :/
Will keep plugging along but hope they can tighten the platforming sections via patch.

Don't understand what am i supposed to do to this tower at the beginning of the game... the game keeps telling me I should press triangle, the birds stay there for a moment but nothing happens.
:(
:(
Land on the weather vane, wait for the other crows to land on it, press triangle and an event should then happen.
If that event isn't triggering then maybe quit back to the main menu and reload your save?
Oh man, I had claimed this OT and had it up and running in my draft thread, but totally spaced and thought it came out next week for some reason, so thanks for this.
I just saw the dev tweeted that it was available and about had a heart attack. I've been awaiting this day for years!

It did trigger an event but after that?
The golden globe is still inside that cage.
More impressions...good Lord this game is pretty. The materials shader and lighting is really something else. Also the soundtrack is splendid, some of those discordant themes once you get inside the first big interior as the boy...chills!
Ran into another falling through geometry bug and am stuck... forcing me to go back to the main menu to reload from a previous point. This could really use a load option or previous checkpoint load within the pause menu, no reason the player should have to go to the main menu to do this.
Feeling warmer towards it than I did earlier but that's mostly down to the audio visual bells and whistles, this title really could use more patching.

What do you mean? The crows should've flown away after the sparkly objects, right? Follow them. If you're at an object that you can't interact with yet, maybe go explore and try to find other things in the world that'll help you.
Guys, remember there's only 8 people in this team, so cut them some slack on bug-hunting & polish.
Thisngame really needs a save system within Acts. Especially with all the bugs forcing you to restart. But even without those... got stuck on a puzzle last night quite some time into act 2. Not being able to quit without forfeiting your progress just straight sucks.
Miss me with this, I paid for a non early access title, I expect a certain level of QA attention paid that doesn't consistently mess with my progression. I just lost about 40 minutes of progress due to yet another geometry stuck bug. The devs seriously need to consider implementing more checkpoints per area because as is it's just absurd having to do an entire area all over again due to progression stopping bugs.
I want to enjoy it more but this is one of the buggiest releases I've come across in a long while. Might wait till devs patch it up more before taking another crack at it.
