That said, I mostly don’t hate the controls by themselves. As far as I can tell there’s no way to map things to two buttons (you couldn’t change it to CTRL and E) but you could certainly make the guard button, say, F. You can change all of this, if you want to. Shift and the left mouse button is a special attack. It’s Shift to run, but you also tap Shift to switch between melee weapon and gun. It’s not perfect, but I definitely prefer it.īy default, most of the keyboard commands are mapped the same way they are on gamepad, with all sorts of abilities tied to the Shift key. First, having played for about an hour with keyboard/mouse and 30 minutes with gamepad… I actually prefer keyboard/mouse. There’s no “official” way to switch over to an undub/Japanese audio version, either, although I’ve heard a few rumblings that people are trying to figure out how to do just that. In audio terms, the whole thing is English dubbed and a fair bit of the voice acting is awful.

I’m also basically capable of running the whole thing at a neat 1920×1080 with 60FPS when everything’s turned up to full, although that’s probably not too much of a surprise on an i7-3820/16GB RAM/GeForce GTX 970. I’ll quickly mention that God Eater 2 suffers from horrendous tearing issues, but turning V-Sync on neatly solved these without causing any framerate or stuttering issues. I definitely much prefer mouse aiming over gamepad aiming. I don’t know if it’ll go any higher than 60Hz, but the option to change the refresh rate is there. I can’t talk about the Refresh Rate options because that seems to be locked to my monitor and so I can’t change it at all, but the fact that it’s there implies that you’ll be able to pick other stuff. And – yes- the resolution goes all the way up to 3840×2160. Texture Filtering goes all the way from Trilinear up to Anisotropic x16. Not a huge amount of tweakables, but most of them are pretty damn good. That’s all of the options barring two Audio options (Volume: Environment and Radio Voice Effects).

Next up, Audio/Video, because “Controls” is something I’m going to want to talk about in depth. What is worth noting are that this is where the camera sensitivity stuff is, plus the options to reset the camera’s vertical orientation when doing stuff, etc. Yeah, that’s quite a lot, and most of them are going to make fuck all sense until you’ve played the game for awhile. Here are three screens of all the options: We will not be looking at them in that order. These are divided into three menus: Gameplay, Controls, and Audio/Video. That’s new.Īlright then, let’s have a look at the options.
