Ooh, I hope they let you. Also if they do find out if they intend to do a Concept Art Book? I understand some reviewers may have gotten them as part of the promotion of the game, but I'm curious to know if they plan a commercial release?

This game supports HDR, right? Getting an OLED tv this weekend, so will be great to inaugurate it with this game.

Anyone know what it takes to run this at 4K 60?

No idea about the HDR. Seems a beefy PC or an XBox One Pro is the way to go.

I did not see any HDR option in the game but I don't know if it depends from the fact I have no HDR monitor (playing on PC here).

I beat it last night in 24 gameplay hours by taking my sweet sweet time taking everything in! It is my personal game of the year so far (and i have played EVERYTHING)! Studio Asobo have created a true masterpiece! It is spellbinding all the way through and has atmosphere out of this world! Amicia and Hugo De Rune forever!

You can replay chapters. Although I don't know if you'll want to after you finish the game and if you finish it at all.

How is the time period represented? Is it all black and white or are there good and bad people on both sides?

I am still amazed that an unknown studio had not only the time and skills to write their engine, to get all those modern rendering effects in, to get a good animation system, but to be able to use it / get it to such a usable state to create so much good quality content with it...

How crazy they were modelling all those leaves, rocks, and brushes?!? DF’s review left me speechless...

Lots of High IQ individuals. They also only have about 140 employees as of 2018.

Super dedicated, focused, and very agile people. Even more than the rendering tech I am thinking at the tools they built to build the game with, the content pipeline from their DCC tools (your ZBrush, Maya/3DS Max/etc...), the level editor... there is a lot of stuff you need to ensure people can iterate quickly and be productive :D.
Also, yes, when you are a focused smart group of people writing your own tech to power the game you, not marketing or some VP somewhere, wants to create is easier to do more with less (as I am repeatedly told by smarter people myself :)).

Still, yeah... I am glad people are still writing their own tech and we are past on the “not using UE4? Oh my you are wasting your time!!!!”. These devs have shown you can ship a great game, on time, with a small outfit, and tons of great content at a AAA quality. Want to know more about them for sure :).

Trust me, there's no shitting on religious beliefs in the game. They're not playing things from that angle at all. It's a great game and well worth anyone's time.

The big bad is the head of the Inquisition, but they make it pretty clear he's acting on his own accord versus from any religious mandate

Um... at this point it is safe to say that gameplay is not the best part of the game, but it is good enough for what it is, just don't expect much, accept it for what it is and enjoy everything else cuz it is pretty much perfect, well, besides maybe facial animations and lip sync.

Thanks. I guess I always enjoy a good story. I had fun even with Everyone Has Gone to Rapture.

It is. While the game is relatively short to be at risk of becoming repetitive, I loved that each chapter has something slightly different to offer when it comes to puzzles, combat and general gameplay. You rarely do the same thing more than once or twice - that is something you can't say about somewhat comparable games like TLOU or Hellblade (I liked both games).

Decent gameplay, nothing special. But definitely better than some AAA garbage titles I’ll give them that. The whole mix in the game makes it perfect. You won’t regret a second while playing from start to end.
