If You Have a Choice, Don’t Play Daylight on PS4

i really don't buy what this guy is saying. there is no way that any version of the game will have routine load times that exceeds several minutes - if this were true, nobody would buy the game.

[kevnb]

Maybe nobody will.

[UltimateMaster]

I saw streaming of it.
I'm not all that interested in it.

It's search here and there to get all the missing piece of the puzzle, don't stare at the ghost, look down and move having your head down.

Then again, horror games aren't my thing.

I love my PS4, but if you have a really nice PC why wouldn't you buy this game or most other games for it. The possibility of mods is something that is really hard to pass up on.

As far as this game is concerned, when I thought it was a PS+ title I was interested in it. When it was revealed that it wasn't, any interest I had immediately dried up. I might have brought the game if it was really good, but apparently it's not and it's supposedly very short. I think those issues are far more problematic than which platform you buy this game on, because right now I am not interested in the game on any platform.

I have a both and I play some multi-platform games on PC, just for the trainers.

contrary to popular opinion it is possible to play and enjoy both PS4, and PC, and whatever other device.

Yeah I mean, Battlefield 4 launched bug free and 9 million people bought it... oh wait, it launched with tons of bugs and 9 million people still bought it.

Not every technical issue is known straight away at launch so people still buy it without knowing and then the game's flaws get spread around.

[papashango]

and they're still apologizing for that mess

[nucky64]

you're right -same with all of the elder scrolls games...buggy as crap and people ate it up!

i stand corrected!

[Magicite]

misleading article.

[windblowsagain]

Tbh i don't want to play it.

Just looks like another outlast. 1 was enough. Decent game though it was.

[HeWhoWalks]

Unfortunately, it isn't even close to Outlast's fun factory. It's not "bad", per se, but it's far from the heights of other Indie horror games.

[nosferatuzodd]

????????????what??????

[Omegasyde]

I saw a couple streams on PS4. You basically collect stuff to get from point a to point b. The notes made zero sense, and the girl would randomly talk "is someone there" when there was no one there.

It seems really really boring. Outlast is a much better game.

[Paganostaghetti]

I also played the PS4 version. He is right. The game takes roughly two minutes to load your save file whenever you die. Plus, the games framerate drops to single digits at the beginning of chapters on occasion. A real shame.

[KUV1977]

Yeah, try playing it in 3D. If you get 20 frames per second you are lucky. It's borderline unplayable and I only bought it because it was 3D.

[GearSkiN]

Me too I bought the game coz it had 3d hoping Real 3D withhold be awesome but no... There's crosstalk and laggy...

[Visiblemarc]

Odd considering the game doesn't look that great. The whole thing seems half baked.

[rodiabloalmeida]

If you have a choice, just don't buy Daylight for any platform, to begin with.

[LordMaim]

Was stopping by to post this very statement. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

[tommygunzII]

That's the conclusion I came to as well.

[Transporter47]

I was looking forward to this game because it reminded me a bit of fatal frame. I might still try it even though i haven't heard many good things about it. I love horror games.

[XxExacutionerxX]

Outlast destroys this game to the point that I forgot this horror game was coming out. I herd alot about this game last year.

[Funky Town_TX]

There are too many Indie games on PS4 and not enough full games. Im getting tired of seeing all these "cell phone" quality games.

[LordMaim]

Its not like the existence of one precludes the other, so I'd rather have both. There's a lot of indie games out there that are deeper than most games considered AAA. You make it sound as though independently published should be seen as a pejorative.

[MadLad]

Such an uninspired, dull game.
Sad.

[matrixman92]

...or dont buy the game at all. I played it on PC, it still sucked

[dcj0524]

Daaaaamn. I was gonna buy this game too. But the comments above killed any interest I had in this game. Guess i'll just buy Project Diva f instead :D

[MadLad]

Among The Sleep, based on the demo, is really, really promising.

[mike32UK]

I experience the same kind of loading issues with Outlast on the ps4, albeit it didn't take minutes, but they were quite frequent. There is no way that the game was too resource intensive on the ps4 so I'd put it down to poor optimisation

[KinjoTakemura]

The game isn't scary at all. It's like the people who came up with the idea for the game watched a bunch of B-horror movies and put a bunch of lame ideas into this game. Hey, what do you expect for 10 bucks?
