I can live with that (although it would have been nice with the original voices ofc) but it´s good to see Osment still kicking it. Thought he was gonna be replaced since he´s not exactly a hot name anymore as he was back in 2000.

People with Japanese copies of the game are saying there are 2 graphic modes and even the base consoles have it. Interesting. I can't imagine unlocked framerate on base consoles. Yikes.

Interesting. I am curious to hear what the tech analysts say

I got my copy early today and without talking about the story, I'm really disappointed by the performance of this on base ps4. It's clunky, feels like it's dropping frames every now and then and even the menu is slow and laggy. This game seems to have been made for xox and ps4pro. I specifically picked the ps4 version because I was sure the xo version will be slightly worse and if that's true I don't want to know how horribly it must perform over there. From a technical point I'm very disappointed with this game.

Seriously? I heard the base consoles get 2 different modes. Did you check the options yet? Supposedly there is a stable option.

I'm on the default mode which is the fps mode. The graphics mode is even worse on base ps4. Like it runs smooth usually but larger open areas just get it to choke sometimes. But menu defiantly lags which is a shame.
Maybe as a mainly PC player it's just so noticeable bad for me as I'm used to play on 144Hz screens so take my experience with a grain of salt here. It's not like it's running with 15 fps or so, it's just a maybe 300ms stutter in heavy battle situations and around 30 fps in larger open areas. Compared to KH1 and 2 it's a downgrade.. I remember them running butter smooth on ps2.

Do you know what frame pacing is? I don't mind a stutter or 2 but is it like FF XV? That had really bad frame pacing.

Unfortunately I don't and I haven't played FF XV either so i cannot compare. Sorry for that. I'm just talking from what I experience and how it feels to me. I'm not ruling out me just being picky. Like I said I usually play on PC at usually at least 100fps and more so it completely is possible that it runs around 40 fps but just feels weird to me personally. For me it's a rather poor experience but maybe it's just the first level. (not going to say which it is so you guys can still enjoy). Once you get your hands on it I'd love to hear other experiences from base ps4 and maybe pro too. I hope the story will deliver since game play falls a bit short for me.

frame pacing is stuttering or judders. Even if the game is locked at 30. A game with framing pacing issues is not smooth at all. Its why I just couldn't get through XV on base console. Stuttery mess.

I got a bit further into the game and like I said it's mostly just large areas. It feels like they aren't optimized properly as IMHO there sometimes is way too much foliage on screen. I wouldn't mind reducing that by as much as 50%.
Also I must have misunderstood you. I thought you asked if I know the frame times to see if there are frame pacing issues. But I think the issue is less frame pacing issues than the game being unlocked on fps and it probably has issues when going up and down with the frames when you transition between larger and smaller areas.
I got to the
area where you fight the stone golem and that area was smooth as hell which for me confirms optimization issues.
Let's hope next week's patch has some optimizations to the grave because so far that's the only thing I can complain about.

So then surely at 30fps there should be no framing pacing? I can deal with frame drops as long as it has proper frame pacing. I'm not going to play with unlocked framerate. The base consoles can't achieve 60. It probably barely achieves mid 40's.

What’s the typical length of a KH game? We talking 15-20 hours, 20-30, or 40+

I would say 20 - 30 hours if you don't explore and 40 - 50 hours if you try to do everything.

I really enjoyed watching HappyConsoleGamer's review. He didn't spoil anything and he had a lot of good points. He mentions how other reviews spoil everything.

Before anybody takes IGN review seriously, remember they gave KH2 a 7.6 and KH 358/2 days an 8.
Think about that for a second.

Are you saying it's too low?Seems in line with the rest of the series, always felt they reviewed better than what they actually deserved.

Thats subjective this especially true for KH series. You either going to the game or you wont. With that logic, to me RDR2 doesnt "deserved" that high score because to me the gameplay looks dull and boring.
Also his point was the 358/2 day (DS game) mange get higher score than KH2 in IGN.

I agree with you on RDR receiving way too high of marks, but the KH series was never the cadillac of action rpgs.The game never had the best game play, so the rest of it's strength has to be on storytelling, and that's not the greatest either.
