Firewatch Update 1.02 PS4 Today February 18 Frame Rate Performance PC: On Twitter, developer Campo Santo revealed that Firewatch update 1.02 is now available on PlayStation 4, fixing lots of tiny issues and improving the game:
Sometimes you want to explore wild environments while exploring mysteries, escaping flesh eating 8monsters, or even be the monster yourself.
If you never played firewatch, do yourself a favor and play it. It's not very long but it's a fantastic gaming experience.

From UploadVR: "Perhaps one of the most demanded VR mods out there, Firewatch VR, is now complete.
Developer Raicuparta recently moved their mod, named Two Forks VR, to a 1.0 release. This update doesn’t actually add much to the mod over the past release, but the developer says the mod is now in “maintenance mode”, essentially meaning it will just be updated to keep working with any possible future updates to Firewatch itself.
Raicuparta previously made an excellent VR mod for Outer Wilds, and now Two Forks VR features a lot of advanced VR mod features like snap turning and more. If you want to try the mod for yourself you’ll need to subscribe to Raicuparta’s Patreon campaign."
Really cool. Something the main developers should have considered when VR was really getting hot. Maybe next round with new headsets coming.
The more interesting thing is that Modders are, in a way, proving what Sony wants to do with some VR games being hybrids besides the ground up developed games. Make the necessary tweaks and modifications and boom. VR game.
Games like RE7, Borderlands, Skyrim, Doom, Dirt Rally, etc have made the case. Some very close like Hitman 3. It just needed more tweaking. Just need more of the best and at a higher quality. Developers win. Gamers win either way in or out of VR.
I'll be interested for somebody like digital foundry to do a frame rate test pre and post patch. I've hesitated starting this game until the frame rate issues are ironed out, so I experience it in its best light.
I'm on ps4 and after the update I'm getting bad framrates. Just walking around its dropping. It was better before the update. I didn't shutdown and restart my system so not sure if that will resolve it or not. I'll let everyone know if it change.
