I was specifically looking forward to seeing how the game felt with a mouse, so the impressions are... disheartening, lol.

I'll still probably pick it up though, even if I stick with a controller. Really fun game and I'd like to play it again with a higher framerate.

Game appears to just use your monitor's native res for window size and the resolution option is purely for what it renders at. There are significant framerate differences between all settings past my monitor's native resolution so it is rendering properly I think.

The game... plays well enough with a controller, I guess? It is what it was designed for. I do wish the game moved about 20% faster or so, it'd feel way better if this actually had proper aiming.

God these mouse controls are fucking awful, it's like it's trying to emulate analog control

The game seems to certainly run at a lower framerate for me when selecting a higher than 1080p resolution.

It was almost "jarring" (?) how quickly it loaded after a fast travel, lol. Not that I remember it being bad on console, it was just like, "Oh! We already there?"

:D

And i really hope that game is "moddable" and that we will be able to push visuals further. Maybe Durante will find some time in near future to look at game :D

My computers CPU is at a lower speed than the minimum recommendation but it runs at a solid 30fps on fine with medium settings.

Pretty cool to finally play this. I'm not sure how much I'll dig the self-referential humour but I am loving the presentation and grinding focus.

Completely off topic but shoutouts to Steam's refund policy for allowing me to take chances on games, Insomniac and Valve now have my money because of this. Otherwise I'd probably wait for it to get really cheap to take the chance.

Anti-aliasing works fine then falls apart if i move the camera a bit, kinda weird. SMAA 2x looks a little blurry compared to SMAA but with better AA.

4K@60 in gameplay, dips to mid 50s on cutscenes. Maybe it's my old cpu, but I doubt it since the GPU jumps up to 100% when the framerate dips and cpu utilization isnt that high. ([email protected] GHz, 1080ti)

Game looks great IMO.

I'm trying to start this game up and literally nothing is happening. I click on it, it says running for a second, then it syncs and thats it

Any suggestions?

All UWP games from the Windows Store work like this. But is this for the Steam version as well?

Well, congratulations. Now I'm going to be playing two Insomniac games this week. :)

This was a crazy release. The official announcement was ... yesterday and it's out today?

It's terrific news, but how did it happen this way?

Did Blind Squirrel have complete control of the port or did they have your input / help ?

Well, bought it on Steam, wouldn't work without disabling my antivirus, asked for a refund.
That was an exciting 6 minutes...

More texture detail maybe? Not sure i am on my phone and usually don't fuss much with graphics on my mid range gaming laptop. But it looks like more details in the textures just look at the floor for example.

Much appreciated, on mobile at the moment and get nauseous reading through a lot on the bus. This is kind of a disappointment as someone who preordered sunset overdrive digitally with the white xbox one console bundle way back near release.

So what's the deal with mouse aiming? Glad I decided to hold off on buying. But if they didn't get slightly important thing right, its not worth my money.
