Having spent time playing the demo on both PS4 (non-Pro) and Xbox One - man, it is like night and day.

Since there is no PC demo, my second system is generally PS4, while I often forget I have an XBOX. Playing the demo on PS4 left me in two minds about the game. The 'form' of the game seemed to be there, and to be as I'd hope from a studio like Arkane. But the mechanical act of playing felt sloshy and unpleasant, and fighting mimics in particular was a *real* chore - to the extent that I certainly wouldn't want to put up with a whole game of that.

Then I read about the input lag issues with the PS4 demo specifically, so dusted off my XBOX.

Well everyone was right. The XBOX demo doesnt' have the lag issues, and getting rid of that input lag made *all* the difference. Just moving around feels precise now, interacting with things straightforward, and clobbering things with the Wrench actually enjoyable.

Now that I've seen my biggest concern 'addressed', I'll for sure be picking this up. On PC. (You learned your lesson with Dishonored 2's issues on PC, right Arkane? Riiiiiight...?)

Edit: More on PS4/XONE demo differences... While on XONE I'm guessing that the res is lower, or often lower (more noticable artifacting and jaggies), it seems smoother, either in terms of sustainable frame-rate, or perhaps frame pacing. I'd actually regard that as a worthy trade-off, if console was my only option.

I think a lot of people have jumped into this with an expectation of it being a typical AAA guided single-player FPS, rather than an immersive sim which doesn't treat the player like an idiot, and focuses on exploration and experimentation.
The fact that The perfect Dark was able to get 6 hours out of the "opening hour" demo says a lot.

Aiming sounds like it could be problematic on consoles - at least with the wrench and the mimics at the start - but I don't know what the solution to that is really.
Gyro aiming makes a huge difference to aiming in FPS games with a DualShock 4 on PC, but most console players seem to hate that and I don't think there is a global option to use gyro aiming on the PS4 if it's not built into the game.
Other than that, what alternative is there? Make the player overpowered? Slow down the enemies and make them easier to hit? No thanks.

Everything I've seen suggests that the gameplay design of this was "PC first" rather than console focused - much more than the Dishonored games - and I don't consider that to be a bad thing.
I have nothing against games coming to consoles, but there's been a trend of "dumbing down" games as a result of being developed for consoles.
As an example, Morrowind was a complex PC game which was made to work on the original Xbox, but Oblivion was a console-first design and really simplified everything. Skyrim went even further in that direction.
None of these are bad games, but Skyrim was clearly built for a different audience than Morrowind.
And I feel like that's been indicative of game design in general for the past 10-15 years.
There have been very few games which have actually advanced in complexity from where we were in 1998-2000 with games like System Shock 2, Deus Ex, Thief etc.

yes.

I don't know, the lack of a demo has me a little concerned. Definitely no day one purchase from me, at least. I'm a bit burned out on buying new releases that run worse than they should.

>>375736189
Went and watched Eurogamer's non-demo gameplay video (which has MASSIVE spoilers in every sense) and things definitely looked a bit more fun and atmospheric than what the demo itself showed. Hoping it doesn't turn out to be another Dishonored 2 (well, the bad parts).

EDIT: Also they appeared to be playing the PC version (keyboard prompts) and no crazy hitching/stuttering.

Since I don't know jack about how games are made, to anyone with the proper background:

How does this happen where one version can control significantly worse with the other platform having none of that going on? What goes wrong for this to be the end result and how difficult is it to fix in reality once you've reached that point?
>>
>>375736905
Probably a config issue. Regardless, it shouldn't be difficult at all the fix

Just found an article about this:
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2017/05/01/prey-ps4-demo-runs-at-1080p30fps-input-lag-music-issues-will-be-fixed-by-launch/

>"To address input lag, the fix within the final release in the game changes the raw input curve on the PS4 controller to be more responsive at the low end, and to tweak responsiveness to the center point on the controller (narrowing the dead zone.). The net result is faster/more responsive movement."
>>
>>375736334
Could you post the link of the video?
The demo had 0 atmosphere for me, maybe its just th first hour.
>>
30 FPS and trying to hit mimics with a wrench with that delay was a big pain in the ass, but I came away liking the core of the demo. Really worried about the lack of a PC demo. Hopefully it means they wanted to avoid data mining and people bypassing the demo locks, but it could also mean they aren't confident in that version.

I am so close to preordering this, even though I "beat" the demo I didn't explore anything past the first floor of the lobby as I realized that if I get it I'd rather do the exploration then. But I just keep wanting to play more! That's the mark of a good demo to me, if it just makes you really want to go back in and play the game more. In that way this demo certainly succeeded for me. I only want to wait and see how the PC version performs, as while I tolerated the controller for the hours I played the demo I wouldn't want to use it long term and would definitely prefer playing it on my PC. So long as the PC version's good and the game doesn't turn out to take a nosedive in quality I think I'll definitely be buying it next week or so.
