Firewatch Review - IGN

Firewatch is among the best of the so-called "walking simulators" thanks to impeccable writing, gorgeous art direction, and stellar voice acting.

2016 is looking good so far. Unravel, Firewatch and Klaus are all getting great scores right now. I can't wait to till i get them all :D

Indeed. Still don't know if I should pick RE0 up. Is it different from the original version? Re0 was great on the GC.

Ps4 killing it with both great console exclusives and platform exclusives. Looking foward to learning more about Nioh.

Whose doing content curation these days on sonys side? I know adam boyes is in charge but is he still hitting the field to gobble up these games for playstation or folks on his team running with it on the ground?

I'm definitely getting Firewatch tomorrow along with The Nathan Drake Collection since it's $35 right now at Gamestop. So excited :D

Aside from the HD Visuals, trophies/achievements, alternate controls, Wesker Mode, manual reload, bonus costumes and 60fps for the PC version...

Nope, nothing much changed, still an awesome game :)

This will be my last purchase of these kind of games. I hope it's stellar and mind blowing. If not, I'll just take this off the list of genres I play.

Cause I hate scenery simulators. Ethan carter, the witness, myst and so on...but 9 and 10 are not best in class in my book. Those kinds of scores mean drop what you're doing and pick it up regardless of genre. It transcends.

Well see. Cause oxenfree was pure garbage also.

Been wanting to play Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Elda260d ago

I'll check out Texas Chainsaw & possibly Sea Of Stars.

Traecy260d ago

2 people downvoting you because you want to play SOS & TTCM is beyond stupid, lol.

Elda260d ago

The immature mentality & behavior of some folks here on N4G is not surprising. I pay it dust.

MEGANE259d ago

I don’t get it, this is why you can’t have a discussion in here, I get there is more PS5 fans here including my self but downvoting everything Xbox is counterproductive.

JeffGUNZ259d ago

If you never played firewatch, do yourself a favor and play it. It's not very long but it's a fantastic gaming experience.

Traecy260d ago

I'll see what TTCM is giving.

Ninver259d ago

Firewatch? It's been out since the birth of christ. Better late than never I guess.

I loved A Short Hike, and want Firewatch.

Nacho_Z496d ago

Firewatch is one of my favourite games. It was ages ago that I played it but I still think about it, one of those that sticks with you.

robtion495d ago

What Remains of Edith Finch is brilliant. I would also add Inside to this list.

Firewatch VR Mod Is Now Complete

From UploadVR: "Perhaps one of the most demanded VR mods out there, Firewatch VR, is now complete.

Developer Raicuparta recently moved their mod, named Two Forks VR, to a 1.0 release. This update doesn’t actually add much to the mod over the past release, but the developer says the mod is now in “maintenance mode”, essentially meaning it will just be updated to keep working with any possible future updates to Firewatch itself.

Raicuparta previously made an excellent VR mod for Outer Wilds, and now Two Forks VR features a lot of advanced VR mod features like snap turning and more. If you want to try the mod for yourself you’ll need to subscribe to Raicuparta’s Patreon campaign."

Really cool. Something the main developers should have considered when VR was really getting hot. Maybe next round with new headsets coming.

The more interesting thing is that Modders are, in a way, proving what Sony wants to do with some VR games being hybrids besides the ground up developed games. Make the necessary tweaks and modifications and boom. VR game.

Games like RE7, Borderlands, Skyrim, Doom, Dirt Rally, etc have made the case. Some very close like Hitman 3. It just needed more tweaking. Just need more of the best and at a higher quality. Developers win. Gamers win either way in or out of VR.

ibrake4naps730d ago

This one's a good fit for VR, and not too demanding <3
