That's why you gotta pay them the big bucks, because they care. I'll happily pay them to do things right.
35It's a very noticeable improvement in realism in games that do this. Quantic Dream games have also done this, even in Heavy Rain from 2010, and it really goes a long way in making a game into a story.

14My bet is it'll be great on PS5. People are already saying controller support is really well implemented on PC, and it runs really nicely on a range of hardware

Yeah, my plan is PS5, too. I was worried because been playing these games on PC almost literally my whole life, from BG1 and IWD through to PoEII and DOSII. But I don't have a PC that can play any sorts of games right now, so it's gonna have to be PS5.
Watching a few let's plays and streams, it sounds like controller support is solid. So despite not being what I'm used to, I'm confident it'll be a solid experience.

The game is so much more lively for it. Lae'zel's VA showed clips and pics on tiktok from the process, it's really cool. (Edit: @thisisdevo)
8So you’re saying the actor who played Ketheric also stood still for long periods of time? Fascinating!
