Cool that the console versions are getting crossplay.
The Solo PvE mode, Live-events, outfits and so on all sound pretty good.
oh sweet crossplay. My buddy and I have been waiting for this game forever on ps4, but he recently switched to PC end of last year, and crossplay on Modern Warfae has been great. Good to hear it will be here as well.
edit: oh damn after reading the tidbits in the OP, no pc crossplay?

Most streamers seem to like it when they play it. It seems very intense. I think as long as this runs okay on the console it's going to be well received. There's not anything else like it on PS4 right now. And I think there's an audience. It can attract the BR, FPS, Dead by Daylight, etc crowds. It offers a little blend of all of that. Siege players might like the game's pace; it's similar how there are stretches of positioning / planning time that erupt into intense, fast firefights. Plus it looks cool -- great aesthetic.
Absolutely down for this. Been looking forward to a console release. We should definitely have some ERA Hunting parties for release.
I tried it on XBox (trial) - I love the setting and atmosphere, but couldn't get comfortable with the controls and gunplay. And getting sniped from a rooftop while fighting a strong monster was really un-fun.
Just started getting into this game on the X and after 10 matches, I'm hooked. So much tension, lore and depth. My only complaint is that more people need to be playing it so I can get matches faster!!! Takes around 2-5 minutes to get a match at peak times in the US east. Excited to see cross play and solo PVE is coming.
This is up on the PS store now, but I just noticed there is a legendary edition with 'DLC' and also packs of currency. What is the DLC? The store description makes it sound like extra hunters, but I thought you 'bought' those with in-game currency.
Based on what I've seen of the game, I really hope the blood bonds currency is for cosmetics only? You can also buy hunters and weapons, which seems a bit off for a game like this, unless you then have to buy them with in-game currency?

Legendary Hunters are always available to buy instead of the normal ones that are randomised, but they don't come with any gear and get three random traits, so they're not really preferable apart from having cool skins.
Legendary weapons are identical to the non legendaries, and don't get unlocked until you unlock the base varient through normal play. They're purely cosmetic.
£35?! I was interested in this, but as it's multiplayer only, and a gamble on whether I'd like the game play, I'm out. Shame :(
There was no way this was ever going to be 60fps on consoles. Hopefully the PS4 player base is substantial, more people playing Hunt no matter the platform is a great thing.
How much content has this game got? It looks really exciting and creative but at £35 is a bit more expensive than I was expecting.
The cpu in both the X and Pro is far too weak to even consider 60fps in this game.
Pretty sure a current Ryzen or Intel equivalent is needed.
Depends on what you consider content I guess. There are two massive maps, each with really well designed locations (about 10-15 each map I think), and then there's seven different enemy types, 3 different bosses, and a tonne of weapons and weapon variants. I've played it for 150 hours and I'm more into it now than when I started.
Thanks for the info. I haven't really followed them game since its EA days but I just assumed it was still only the spider-boss & map. Although TBF I don't have PS+ anyway, so I couldn't buy a game like this right now.
Played the training map. Pretty glitchy visually, and controls are not that tight and require quite a bit of calibration, but the locations and atmosphere are amazing
Do you feel like you were able to sort them out? Is there weird aim acceleration or any gross stuff like that?
PC veteran is playing the PS4 version right now.
Looks pretty amazing to me.
That's because he is playing on PC.
Haven't played enough to sort anything out yet, but to me it just felt like a pure PC game that was born and stayed on mouse+keyboard for so long that when they finally released on consoles, it had no tailored controls and has to be fully customized to your specific habits to be played smoothly and effectively.
It might be quite a good thing though: it's precisely customizable, so once you nail it down to the exact combination of control sensibility, it might just feel perfect - might as well need a lot of work to get there though... and patches.
Aha yeah, I swear he said he was playing the ps4 verison.
Heres actual PS4 gameplay. https://www.twitch.tv/twoangrygamerstv
Game is pretty amazing. Finally jumped in on the X a month ago and am still craving it all the time. I am really hoping with the PS4 user base, the game takes off and crossplay gets implemented. Right now, some nights, it takes up to 5 minutes to get into a match.
They announced console crossplay a while ago, but all they've said is it'll probably be March or April.
Well the analog controls are fucking horrid. And as usual the settings are all based on an acceleration slider (why fucking god is this still a thing) and if you disable the acceleration it makes the normal aiming slow as molasses even at max setting. So no smooth aiming in this game, you're forced to find some compromise using acceleration. It's a shame too, because the aiming feels good with acceleration disabled, it's just not anywhere near fast enough. They have no idea how to do analog. And the proof, if you needed any more: this hardcore shooter has aim assist. :/
Very disappointing. You could say it's PC devs just sucking at controller dev, but then games like Killing Floor 2 exist where a PC dev implemented immaculate analog. And if done right, you don't need shitty aim assist. Assist isn't a crutch for controllers, it's a Band-Aid for bad dev. I'll keep trying to dial in something that feels adequate, but it's quite frustrating. Might have just wasted $40 on something that was so close to being good.
