OH MY GOD !!!
What a fantastic surprise to wake up to. Alas I won't be able to play this until after office

PS4 Pro: Dynamic 1620p.
Both versions have damn near rock solid frame rate and no frame pacing issues.
Excellent outcome all around.
Okay, so there are a few things I didn't like.
- can't switch between Cloud's combat modes during an attack chain
- dealing with aerial enemies as Cloud is awkward. The lack of a jump button doesn't help.
- evade doesn't seem to have enough i-frames
- Barrett's VO can get pretty annoying. Same goes for the girl who has a crush on Cloud.
- textures loading late during cutscenes, UE4 game and all.
Everything else is incredible. Switching between characters on-the-fly during combat is super cool and gives it some much-needed depth.

^ I've seen cloud to jumping/lunging strikes on flying enemies when controlling Barret, maybe its an ability you can unlock (which the AI version of Cloud has access to but the player doesn't for the demo ?).
Also, yes. Barret's dialogue clearly sounds like something a Japanese writer thought what a black man sounds like.

Finished the demo last night.... And it was incredible !! Cant wait for April 10th.
Sir yes Sir.... This is probably my only complaint with combat. There should have been a jump button. For some reason, it just feels really awkward that your character is not able to jump in a game like this.

I knew I wasn't crazy. When Cloud is on AI, he definitely jumps :

Yeah if the AI controlled Cloud can jump, it may be an unlockable skill later on. Though, it's weird that they'd put it behind a skill tree.
Played the demo another time and noticed it's possible to pull out the camera. Feels a lot better at the maxed out setting. Another setting worth altering is 'Combo Targeting'. Setting it to 'Free' let's you switch between enemies during your attack chain. I have no idea why these QoL settings weren't enabled by default.
My complaint regarding the evade roll not having enough i-frames is more in relation to boss AoE attacks, such as the scorpion's electrocution attack. Even a well-timed roll will cause damage if you're up close.

Always check the settings first
The 'default' camera in both exploration and combat is pulled in really narrow. Glad the game has options for both.
I've still not been able to get a good hold of counters in the 2 times i've played the demo so far, it's REALLY timing based to the mili-second.
Did you give the Classic mode a shot CT ? It's like when you put all of your party on AI in a Tales game .. like a super-easy mode.
Haha first thing I tried on my first playthrough, but the settings menu only seems to be accessible after the first few fights or something.Always check the settings first
Haven't tried it yet, but yeah it sounds like something along those lines. Would make the end game easier, especially if there's some ridiculously difficult side-boss to deal with.

Square Enix is warning customers that they may not get their copies of Final Fantasy 7 Remake on release day, due to the “extraordinary circumstances” caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the role-playing game is still slated to launch globally on PlayStation 4 on April 10, Square Enix says that some players may not receive their physical copies of Final Fantasy 7 Remake at launch.
“The worldwide release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake on April 10 will go ahead,” Square Enix said in a statement posted on Twitter. “However, with the unforeseeable changes in distribution and retail landscape which varies across countries, it is increasingly likely that some of you will not get hold of your copy of the game on release date.
“We are monitoring the situation on a daily basis and working with our partners, retailers, and Square Enix teams across Europe and the Americas, to do everything we can to ensure as many of you as possible can play the game on April 10.”
At the beginning of March, Square Enix offered two special edition releases of Final Fantasy 7 Remake: a $79.99 deluxe edition with an art book, SteelBook case, soundtrack, and downloadable content; and a very limited (and sold out) “1st Class Edition” for $329 that included a detailed Cloud Strife action figure aboard the Hardy Daytona. Both included physical copies of the game.
Square Enix said that it will post an update on the situation on Friday, March 20. In the meantime, if you’re hoping to reliably play Final Fantasy 7 Remake on April 10, you may want to invest in a digital copy of the game.

Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
