monkehhh Posted April 6, 2015 Mad Men's back, the sun's out and Rich Sommer's done an interview about Firewatch - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-04-06-the-voice-behind-one-of-this-years-most-fascinating-games - aw yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Architecture Posted April 6, 2015 Rich Sommer is almost certainly best known for his nuanced portrayal of the rather hapless Harry Crane in HBO's hard-drinking, heavy-smoking drama Mad Men HBO? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikemariano Posted April 6, 2015 HBO? Ha; I also assume that every show I don't watch is on HBO and therefore I am not able to watch it. Except for Hannibal, which I assume is on Showtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkehhh Posted April 6, 2015 Yeah, it's not the most difficult mistake to make - these three-letter names all merge in to one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.C. Posted April 6, 2015 Holy crap those shots are gorgeous. Hello new desktop wallpaper. Ha; I also assume that every show I don't watch is on HBO and therefore I am not able to watch it. Except for Hannibal, which I assume is on Showtime. Mad Men - AMC Hannibal - NBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Architecture Posted April 7, 2015 Maybe the show's on HBO in the UK? Do they even have HBO in the UK? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RubixsQube Posted April 7, 2015 Argh the game is just coming along gorgeously. I've named this repeating set of star patterns on the (presumably unfinished) starfield "Sadface." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toblix Posted April 7, 2015 Sooo did anyone else order a Firewatch poster, and has the USPS tracking page progressed past the pre-shipment phase? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaputt Posted April 7, 2015 Maybe the show's on HBO in the UK? Do they even have HBO in the UK?Mad Men is on HBO in Brazil. We don't have AMC here. So maybe they have the rights to broadcast the show overseas.About the game, fantastic screenshots! It's finally time to change my iPad wallpaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkehhh Posted April 7, 2015 Maybe the show's on HBO in the UK? Do they even have HBO in the UK? Nope, we have Sky Atlantic which picks up things like Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men; so it gets jumbled in as "HBO". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennegatron Posted April 7, 2015 Sooo did anyone else order a Firewatch poster, and has the USPS tracking page progressed past the pre-shipment phase? They said they were getting sent out in batches. https://twitter.com/jennegatron/status/584522691492741121 Here are mine. (Granted I live less than 2 hours from SF, so shipping times are a little less dramatic.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feelthedarkness Posted April 7, 2015 mine was at "printing label" for a few days, then it just arrived! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted April 7, 2015 Here's hoping it's a quirk of international shipping, and that the package arrives tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted April 7, 2015 Sooo did anyone else order a Firewatch poster, and has the USPS tracking page progressed past the pre-shipment phase? Last status for USPS tracking for me was March 29 "Processed Through Sort Facility" at San Francisco. Now they are somewhere in Finland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erkki Posted April 8, 2015 After getting accepted at the "origin sort facility", mine arrived at "origin facility" and is now "in transit to destination". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elvaq Posted April 11, 2015 Long awaited new season of CO-OP (spiritual sequel to The 1UP Show) kicks off with a GDC episode which features a lot of chat and video of the Firewatch demo. Around the 28 minute mark People seem to like this game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eot Posted April 12, 2015 The first thing I noticed, aside from the game being pretty, is that the FoV seems low. Like in the mid 50's low. Please, please, please include some kind of option for that even if it's unsupported because it breaks the viewmodels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted April 12, 2015 FOV is now at 80 or 85 (w/all animation updated to match) and it looks very nice. I believe we will have an ini file tweak available to ruin the game if you want higher FOV than that. No promises on that number or that implementation strategy but its what is currently discussed.

Architecture Posted April 12, 2015 But I need 270° for my five-display Eyefinity setup! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yay, 85 is great unless there's a hidden Quake 3 easter egg mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted April 13, 2015 This is so exciting! Apparently there's something amiss with my posters, and there will be an inquest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted April 13, 2015 Hmm... something might be up with mine too then, still at the origin facility. I guess they come up with a unique origin story for each poster there and it just takes time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted April 14, 2015 Maybe Origin Systems is involved, and a Mark Hamill-starring FMV is being shot for each of your posters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
