Sounds good, looking forward to getting my copy, whenever it lands!
That makes sense, I almost went for the digital version of the console myself as most of my library is also digital, but there are exceptions throughout the year (such as this game, Spidey, and Demons) where I know I'll play it once, never touch it again, and move it along.
Really hate the store pricing, but I suppose there's always ways of making it cheaper (CDKEYS, being one).

Anyone else playing on an OLED?
The start of the game is virtually pitch black in the dark areas lol, I can’t see ****! I’ve adjusted it in the menu and isn’t a whole lot brighter, do I need to crank the brightness upon my tv?
My TV brightness was set to 50, upped it to 80 and it’s maybe a bit too bright now, what do others use who have an OLED/C9

I think digital foundry said you need to turn on one of the settings on the tv. Might be worth watching their review.
was it the review or the tech analysis?

Oh brilliant, good to know cheers. I may just finish res 7 if its on game pass still, if not watch that then.

I want to say the review, but I could be wrong.
just watched it, I see the brightness on his TV is 50 as well, and I already have dynamic tone mapping enabled, I think my problem is I’m not playing in a dark room lol
Soldato
What's the verdict on raytracing enabled or disabled for those that have played it?
i ended up resetting the brightness back to 50 on the TV, it makes it more atmospheric. I think I’m just playing in a bright room which isn’t helping.

The DF video mentions using that BFI motion setting on high, that makes it even darker as well I think, although its a choice between that and VRR, can't do both.
Are you using raytracing with this?
No, I have ray tracing off, I read there was marginal differences so didn’t bother
Soldato
I watched that DF video but couldn't get an idea of what he preferred, but looking it did seem marginal.
Almost exactly 4 hours in and I’m really enjoying it!
Exploring is fun and it’s really atmospheric, I can’t imagine how good it sounds when playing with headphones, lots of creepy bits and a couple of jump scares.
The opening encounter was tense.

Got another 2 hours in and am enjoying it more and more. Beautiful to look at and very atmospheric.
The village is a little painful to explore, on the map it looks like a clear path, but you have to take cuts though houses etc - wandered around for far too long!
Like Resi Evil, you get the opportunity to backtrack (not too much as to be a pain) and pick up the things you were unable to collect earlier in the game.
Tip - merchant. It later opens up where you can create 'recipes' using fish, meat etc to gain character advantages. I sold all my live stock for Lei earlier in the game

Is it set up correctly? Vincent did a really good setup video for LG OLED on the hdtvtest YouTube channel
