Just finally got round to playing the demo.

Wow.

I doubt I'll be seen outside for a while come April 10th onwards. Brings back all the magic of playing FFVII for that first time as a kid. They've done an amazing job and I really can't wait.

I did notice that, but figured it was just me being needlessly confused. The equilibrium when you start moving feels a bit off. It also felt too close during the boss fight at times, to the point I couldn't quite see what was happening. Probably just needs a slight tweak.
You can set camera distance for both battles and non-battles. I found switching to the furthest zoom helped a ton on that battle.

You know I never even looked in the options. It just didn't seem like the kind of game that would have an adjustable camera. Cheers, I'll adjust it when I get the full game.

Me neither, I was complaining about the same thing on a discord server and someone was like "dude, just zoom out". It doesn't go out awful far but enough to make a difference.

Good news I think, I thought after the Amazon delivery news yesterday it'd be delayed again but thankfully not.

I'm thinking I might have to do the same thing. I have it pre-ordered in store in Game, but dunno if they will still be open by then.
This is one of those rare times where I just have to have the case in my hands. Can’t explain why...

Wonder if anybody on here will be so lucky

So if you ordered on Amazon you might get lucky and finish it before anyone else even gets it, and if you ordered through a local store that is now closed you might be completely screwed?

I already made the decision to go digital; they should do us a solid and release that early too. I know it’s not that simple, but a man can dream.

I got an email from Amazon saying it'll be here on the 16th or 17th. Hopefully it will be on time. I ordered it last June

Cancelled mine a week ago to digital hope it doesn’t get sent out early. Going digital cost me an extra 10 quid too.

Trophy list looks just as expected really. Looks like there's a lot of side content to do which is nice.

Simplygames and a few other UK stores started sending out their orders today. No word on if Game are going to, they are still saying the 9th.

I pre-ordered, which I never do, I usually always wait for reviews and I'm not sure it'll be that good, nor do I think it'll be a very long game and in any way worth paying for full price for. But.. it's FFVII so I just gotta.. plus stock seems low.

Game have now said they are processing online orders. Which the wording does not explicitly say sending, people are assuming they are being sent out anyway. So people could be playing it as early as tomorrow in the UK. Mental after all these years. I ordered the deluxe edition off Game the other day with next day DPD delivery, so will see how that goes. I'm not in a huge hurry anyway with Resident Evil 3 unlocking tomorrow night.

Bring snacks and hookers.

See I think people are getting a bit carried away. I'm seeing a lot of people online saying they got an email saying theirs is being packed by Game. I got one too, there's a line that no one seems to be quoting "Will be despatched the day before release."

A few weeks ago I cancelled my initial choice of buying it from Amazon and decided to go for a digital download. If i'd known there was a chance I might get it early I would have kept to my original decision. Oh well! Going to be tough avoiding spoilers on youtube.

Just another reason to love Aerith instead ....on another note, I hope they keep the affection system that was in the first game. I want my date with Aerith ...or Barret.

I think you've been looking at hentei mate. Big difference.
The Don Corneo scenes and some of the shots in recent trailers lead me to believe they've re-assessed some things. Now I think about it, I can't recall hearing her speak in any of the trailers.

Now available for preload. It’s around 80-90 GB, so with network speeds being throttled I’d hop to it early.

That 90 GB number comes from some twitterer who apparently already received his.

Quite a lot of people already have this, my brother included. Watch out for spoilers guys!

My copy has already shipped...to the wrong address. And of course it's taking days for them to respond.

The voice acting initially put me off but I've finally caved and preordered, not interested in getting it early or anything but I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't excited.

My deluxe edition came in the post today. Won’t be playing it for a bit as red dead 2 is taking forever but got to say that the deluxe edition is really tidy, it’s got a nice art book and steel case as well as a soundtrack

Got my copy this morning...on PS4 it is a 90GB install (there are 2 discs - a 'data' and a 'game' one).

Now the real decision is what to play...RE3, FF7 or Doom Eternal?!? It's like being back in the 90's.

Spoilt for choice. :D

If I was in your gaming shoes I would go for the shorter game first. So,RE3,Doom and FF7.
FF7 seems like quite time consuming game.
