Can you play it again after your 30 minutes runs out?

Yeh you have to start over at the end of the in game day (which is 30 minutes I believe).

I got killed by a mite. Game is FUN, but it started freezing on me and then crashed to dash and refused to reload. Brings me back to the Obsidian days of FO:NV at launch

Mine didn't crash, but it was framey. When those mites first jumped at my face I was surprised and also dead. Came back for my gear and this time used my spear to block when they lunge and then stab them to death.

 

[CatLady]

Thanks for the info guys. Let me see if I can get it to load and try it again. What little I saw, I liked and it was fun, well except for those killer mites

 

[Irobot82]

I think you can play this outside of the insider program and yes you can replay another 30 mins

Not continue, but start over?

Yes

I think you can play this outside of the insider program and yes you can replay another 30 mins

I think this is just for insiders.

 

[Starcheif]

Not continue, but start over?

Yes, you will need to start over each time.

Is Rick Moranis in it?

[Mr Hyde]

I really miss Rick Moranis. I hope he makes at least one big comedy before he calls it quits forever.

 

[Night.Ninja]

surprised to find the game running at 60fps on One X.
I was expecting 30fps just like Outer Worlds.

it's hard to judge the game from this small demo, but it seems to be alright I guess?
the aim sensitivity slider is broken tho, so that sucks.

if I had to guess the resolution I'd say it's dynamic and hangs around 1440p to 1600p, but due to UE4's aggressive AA that's hard to say without actually measuring it

The slider does work, its just weird.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Performance seemed a little off on PC for me. The raw FPS was fun but felt like input latency was a little high. I tried using low latency in Nvidia CP and helped a little

Is Rick Moranis in it?

Honey I Shrunk The Fortnite

It’s really fun though, for r

 

[01011001]

The slider does work, its just weird.

I set it to max and it didn't change anything

 

[Night.Ninja]

I set it to max and it didn't change anything

Worked for me, i only moved it to about 75% did you apply it with the left stick

yes, it didn't change for me. turning even 90° took ages

 

[Stuart360]

Well i just went from zero interest to mildly intrested. The graphics are stunning on PC maxed out, and i'm really surprised by the serious tone, i was expecting some kids game. The music is so atmospheric as well.
Had some bugs with the demo. The controller would stop working randomly, and i couldnt exit the demo lol. Not bad though, not bad at all.

 

[DrScissorsMD]

There's another thread going on about this.

New AAA game every other month from Microsoft...?

Came across this and thought it was worth sharing, supposedly the source is a semi-legit (?) insider:

www.neogaf.com

Just so we’re clear on how full of shit you are, you’re taking what an unknown leaker has said, about MS having a triple A game every other month (that’s every second month, m8) WHEN (not now) they start next gen, and you’re both misconstruing what was said and applying it to a game that is very obviously not AAA (not to mention is only one of Obsidians projects)? Am
I understanding you correctly?

I gave up, it kept crashing on me. I hope they get the bugs out BEFORE they release it because it seems like a really fun game, a lot belter than I thought it would be when it was first revealed.

Yeah, the graphics are actually quite good maxed out

I loved the depth of field effect, it really made you seem tiny.

You're such a girrrrrrrrl!

 

[trapanesenyc]

The game is fine, one of the few games where I'd like a ubi type tower to see the scale of the garden from above. The size of the world map actually shocked me. Bigger than I was thinking.

 

[BusierDonkey]

Well I played it for about an hour before I decided to make a beeline for the house and got jumped by a tarantula.

Fun game. I'll have to check it out when it releases.

 

[Knitted Knight]

Passion project. Looking forward to it.

Yeah, but in the thread it shows clearly your mistake - not MS but a random dude on reddit is claiming that MS is aiming to release an AAA (or exclusive?) title every other month.

But the real news is that MS is still on a "buying spree" and will acquire more studios or titles.

Vawn is just the Sony village idiot, pay him no attention.

Downloading this now, friends and everyone seems to be really positive about it so looking forward to a game will report back.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Just tried this... All I can say is wow. I wasn't expecting that. I was hooked and didn't even realize the time I spent when the time was up. LOTS of retro feels from growing up watching Honey I Shrunk The Kids. The scale is actually done really well. There is way more depth than I thought there would be as well with the crafting and creatures. You can tell they are definitely tapping into many of the cool ideas the world provides them on both a macro and micro scale.

If they end up treating this like Sea Of Thieves and support it with constant content updates they are really going to have a gem. I can see my kids having TONS of fun with this. I always wanted to try it out since the reveal but now it's on my anticipated list.

All I can think now is... What if they take us inside the house... Gah, my imagination is running wild.

 

[Mattyp]

This game has massive potential, time was up quickly. Can't wait to see this in full release think it will eat up some hours, crafting of houses etc. And the room for expansion...

 

[captainraincoat]

game looks pretty..the demo is a little basic but it looks to be sort of a crafting/survival game/minecraft
there looks like it has multiplayer

This game could be a hit i think

 

[Andodalf]

The sense of scale with all the grass and super intense DoF at a distance is really great. It makes the bugs legit scary at times. You can also get a good number of physics objects out at once, which is nice to see, I hope Obsidians other games use that.

 

[T-Cake]

I wasn't expecting much from this game from the initial reveal but having just played the demo, it is right up my street. Got totally splatted by a wolf spider - twice. I think it could do with a bit of a better tutorial though, something for the final release.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Big ass Spooder scared the shit out of me when it attack me from behind! Had headphones in full volume. Now I'm looking forward to playing the full game in 2021.

 

[Stitch]

An ant killed my within a minute of first playing. I was like “oh this is for real.”

Haha really? I was scared when I met the first Ant, but they seem to be really friendly. They only get angry when you get near their colony. They also seem to grab sap from my inventory.

Oh and this needs to be in VR

 

[pr0cs]

Man it sounds awesome, haven't played a good survival game since Rust and even then "good" was in heavy quotations.
Can't wait to try this but sounds like it's got some potential, wonder if it will have cross play with Xbox and pc?

 

[MMaRsu]

Can I play this on PC? I downloaded it through the Xbox Store but cant launch it..

 

[Stuart360]

The demo is on Steam, just go to the store page.

 

[ABrokenToy]

Graphically it's okaayyyy on the One X. Hopefully this is an earlier build and final gets bumped in resolution and HDR implementation. The character selection screen looked super low res. Jaggies everywhere.

I found the actual gameplay to be much much cleaner than character select. The lack of HDR is weird tho

 

[vypermajik]

I played this game a few times yesterday (only 30m demo) and I absolutely loved it. The sense of scale, the graphics, the charm were all on point. And it seemed to have a great tutorial to really guide you through the process.

 

[Stitch]

Tried to ride a Ladybug but you just clip through them ;(

 

[pasterpl]

I have played around 10 minutes on xbsex and I am not impressed, not my kind of game

 

[Spaceman292]

Apparently the game has an arachnophobia mode

Grounded details Arachnophobia Mode as Steam Game Festival demo goes live

Grounded's Steam Game Festival demo is live today, but if spiders give you the willies, no need to fear. Obsidian and Microsoft are implementing a special Arachnophobia Mode to help you out.

This shits stupid and patronising.

You can chose First and third person camera with a button like Bethesda games?

I thought this was coming out in July?

yes, U on the keyboard. No idea what it is on Joypad. Pressed every button and nothing happened lol

I thought this was coming out in July?

it's starting as early access title, so buggy and maybe missing features

 

[Dane]

Yes

They said the full game is to be released by 2021... I will check again

 

[SleepDoctor]

Have no interest in this but I'll just read impressions, see if it encourages me to try it.
