Games says use headphones. use the home theatre if you have a 5.1 surround. Headphones won't give the BASS which literally shakes your windows.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty easy in 5.1 surround. Straight forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0verlord Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Started yesterday With headphones on medium volume ? Sound design is very good, sound of breathing is a very good touch for immersive-ness. Feels as if she’s beside me Dual world idea is terrific - a novel experience Graphics - very good, specifically lighting and materials remind me of the Last of Us Part 2 Edited February 5, 2021 by 0verlord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_rock098 Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Started yesterday With headphones on medium volume [emoji56]Perfect, hope all graphics settings are also exactly on medium. Nothing on low or high, only medium. Otherwise the game will crash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In The Medium, the real and the spirit worlds look completely different and use their own sets of graphical assets, such as models or textures. This is much more demanding in terms of memory, storage, and the rendering cost. Additionally, such effects as motion blur or ambient occlusion need to be calculated and rendered twice. All in all, the game requires a significant amount of VRAM and fast storage, much faster than what was used in the previous generation of hardware. Although it might look similar in screenshots or trailers, technically speaking the game’s dual reality simply works differently and is much more demanding power-wise than “ordinary” split-screen.

TRMNTR Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Finished the game. Loved the story, sound and art design. The controls and animations were clunky AF though. Felt like I was playing a really old game. That and the texture pop-ins were the most annoying for me. Immersion killers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Completed the game finally, totally awesome. Would easily give it 9/10. one point deducted for some minor technical issues like stuttering and the wonky camera at times ! btw, as i understood, the game never really says what happens to the real thomas , does it ? Since he was able to call marianne in the beginning the assumption was he is in the real world ? Edited February 6, 2021 by Ne0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The visuals are grotesque and might take a strong stomach to sit through. Even the theme/underlying plot of the game can make many people uncomfortable ! There were a few jump scares here and there, but I found games like dead space to be more "jump scary" type than this one.

0verlord Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Finished the game - loved it. Story - very immersive, hooked till the end. Graphics - superb, especially lighting and materials. Reminds me of the Last of Us Part 2 and Bloodborne. Some levels are just amazing. Very mysterious atmosphere - excellent. But polishing in some places can be increased. Audio - voice acting - excellent, and breathing sounds - unique Score - 8.75/10 There will likely be a sequel - looking forward to it!

SpearHea:D Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Started it, the atmosphere is fantastic along with the sound effects. Story is getting interesting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpearHea:D Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Man, the bass in between solving puzzles sends chills down the spine. There was also a nice jump outta chair moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpearHea:D Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Finished it, what a gripping and interesting story till the end, Kept me hooked. I was looking for every document, post card for the story. Richard's sub story was so well done, his past, his intentions. Everything came out together so well in the end, The massacre. the monster, henry, bunker. The game also oozes brilliant atmosphere like the woods & resort. And the sound effects/music when you enter high stakes area or solve puzzles, esp. the bass effect. Underrated gem 9/10. Also akira yamaoka's Soundtrack 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
