Created by a two-person team, the ambitious game is coming in 2021



Stray is a beautiful new game headed to PlayStation 5. It puts players in the role of a clever cat, lost in a world where humanity has been wiped away, leaving nothing but robots behind. The game was announced Thursday during the Sony PlayStation 5 livestream event.
Developed by BlueTwelve, the game began as a two-person effort called HK Project in 2015. The game is being published by Annapurna Interactive.
Stray is a third-person cat adventure game set amidst the detailed neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity and the murky environments of its seedy underbelly,” Annapurna Interactive said in a news release. “Players will play as a stray cat, roaming surroundings high and low, defend against unforeseen threats and solve the mysteries of this unwelcoming place inhabited by nothing but unassuming droids and dangerous creatures. Lost, alone and separated from family, players must untangle an ancient mystery to escape a long-forgotten cybercity and find the way home.”












The lavish trailer shown during today’s livestream seems to be set in an Asian city where humans have gone extinct. Spray paint in an alleyway read “RIP Humans.” There are homeless robots sitting along the side of the street. Inside an old barbershop one robot is busy repairing another. In the final frame the cat is shown wearing a tiny backpack.
Stray will be released some time in 2021.

Yes, that's an asset streaming stutter. Poor PS4's 5400 rpm hard drive vs the Steam Deck's flash storgae/nvme ssd 🤷‍♂️ :LOL:

I wonder if the PS5 version also has a few streaming stutters. Looking forward to DF's comparison 🤜

But we don't know if the game was running from the SSD or not. PS4 being limited to 30fps while the Steam Deck can run higher makes it a clear winner for me. Pushing well above its weight for a handheld 🤷‍♂️

- All versions suffer from slight stuttering during the loading of some scenarios.
🤷‍♂️:ROFLMAO:

    "All of this lends the game distinctly last-gen look at times, which is compounded by image quality and frame-rate issues."

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
