Fantastic game. I love every change, the artstyle. Haven't finished first game or the sequel, this feels so much better.

This will be a nice contrast with playing SIFU right now, even though I'm sure there's plenty of challenge if I want to seek it out.

Already playing with the NZ trick on Xbox. It's so smooth and so much fun. And once again a fantastic soundtrack! Love it, and brings back memories playing the previous game.

Never played the previous games in the series but this has rocketed up my most anticipated list in the past couple weeks kinda out of nowhere. Really gives me some Runner 2 vibes, but with a way more open score system, which is the only way I could think of to make Runner 2 better. Just debating now on Switch or PS5

I would appreciate if someone could post the video/graphics settings on PC for this game.

Didn't know this game has already DLC planned in the future. Definitely going to buy the rad edition.

The game runs super smooth on SX, just reached the 2nd zone on the map.

If you switch to NZ is available now.

Any idea if there's going to be a demo on Steam? I'm intrigued by the love these games always get, but it does look a bit simple for a 30 euro game.

I LOVE the world design and cinematics for this so far.

I was only luke warm to the gameplay of the original games, but I'm still keeping my eye on this one.

Any idea if this game has any notable Dual sense features? Trying to decide between the SX and PS5 versions.

    This is from the Gamesradar preview (Ben Tyrer):

    If the series' not-so-secret sauce is providing that flow state – an almost meditative-like experience of focusing purely on hitting a perfect run – then OlliOlli World manages to improve on its predecessors with the use of PS5's DualSense controller to fully immerse you in the experience.​
    ​
    From the second you push off, you'll hear your board's wheels make subtly different sounds coming from the pad depending on the surface they're rolling across, such as the chatter they make when moving across the slates of the breezy boardwalks in Sunshine Valley or the smoother glide in the arid desert of Burntrock. There's also the haptic feedback as well, which uses shifting sensations in your hand to translate the feeling of landing a perfect grind or the balance of holding a manual. They combine to enhance the game's signature style, immersing you in the game's flow in ways that make the world of Radlandia almost tactile.​
    ​
    Talking to the team at Roll7, including Co-CEOs John Ribbins, Tom Hegarty, and Simon Bennett, the group explains how the DualSense features came about for OlliOlli World. Hegarty says: "It was definitely something we wanted to use. I think in the past, with kind of smaller teams, we never really had the opportunity to really use the features that the consoles have had available to us. So it's a really interesting challenge for the design and the audio team – actually, the audio that comes out of it was one of the team's later additions. But I think it's the one that I personally think works the best and really does add to the experience to make it a bit more immersive, and adds to the flow, which is always what we're trying to do."​

    Pre-ordered and preloaded the Deluxe Edition on Switch. Performance looks good enough for me though I wouldn't mind updates ironing things out a bit if at all possible, but I imagine it's doing the best it can with the aged spec.

    If my past with OlliOlli 1 and 2 is anything to go by, I'll be playing this on and off for YEARS to come. I've still been playing those games on my Vita from time to time, and from what I've seen, World has such an appealing new art style and approach that seems very poised to keep me even more in love with it over the long haul.

    I will probably double dip on Steam Deck and if it runs well which I imagine it will, more concerned pre-release about compatibility. Also probably wait for a sale since I'm already in on one version. PS5 is tempting too but I hope maybe a demo comes out so I can see if the Dual Sense features are worth it -- if not a deep, deep sale in the distant future probably nets me the Xbox Series version.

    Can't wait to unlock this game and start a whole new OlliOlli career!

    Planning to pick this up this week, but having an impossible time choosing between the Switch and Series X version. Feel like I'll play it more on Switch. OlliOlli 2 was my most played PS4 game, absolutely adore it.

    The game plays really well in docked mode. It looks fantastic on that OLED. I made a quick Gameplay video over here.

    I've threadmarked the dualsense stuff, and I've found feedback from a couple of reviews.

    Gamesradar review (Josh West)

    The controls and mechanics are masterfully executed, however I should say that I found the PS5 DualSense controller to be an infrequently ill-fit for the speed and precision required; my fingers oftentimes slipping from the sticks and onto the touchpad or PS button, pausing the game and disrupting my leaderboard-beating flow. And then there's that difficulty curve to consider for the times where you can't blame the DualSense for failed runs – OlliOlli World is more accessible than its predecessors, but the challenge won't be for everyone.​
    ​
    Daily Star review (Tom Hutchinson)
    Shoutout to the brilliant use of the controller's speaker in the PS5 DualSense. It gives you all the board skating and scraping sounds directly in your hands and makes you feel like you're in the heart of the action.​

    Maybe the best DualSense integration I've played yet, specifically the speaker.

    Based on what I can find and what messofanego posted above, it seems the one notable thing is that it has a lot of sounds coming out of the controller speaker. Which is cool, I do like speaker integration, but it doesn't seem like it has heavy use of the haptic rumble or adaptive triggers, and that other review saying they struggled with the Dualsense in later levels is kind of making me think I'd rather play it on a Series X controller. Helps that the NZ trick is easier to do on Xbox because it doesn't require me to try to dig up the old NZ PSN account I made years ago.

    I thought the haptics were great. No real trigger usage in the controls on any console, hence lack of that on PS5.

    ah exactly, yeah there is sound coming from the controller. Pretty neat. But it's all about reflexes. So adaptive triggers might intervene here and annoy you

    Ah does it use adaptive triggers? I'm trying to remember whether the first two games even used the triggers at all but I can't remember.

    Was also debating whether to get this on Switch or PS5 and now pre-ordered on the latter, because trophies might give me some additional motivation to keep playing once I've finished the main path. Can't wait to sink my teeth into this at midnight.
