But to augment the experience, PC adds quality settings for textures, shadows and object detail - which go from low to very high, in some respects enhancing visual aspects over PS4. It's among the best uses of this rendering method we've seen to date materials for frosted glass, brickwork and woodwork across its Tudor-style pub fall eerily close to the genuine article. But in pushing CryEngine 3 to greater heights on PC, is this really the best way to play the game, and what do PlayStation 4 users actually miss?Įverybody's Gone to the Rapture relies on the same physically-based lighting on PC to achieve a gorgeous, almost photorealistic take on a Shropshire-inspired village.

However, the shift in platform means developer The Chinese Room can bolster the game's already impressive visuals with even higher-grade visual fidelity. The company partnered with Frictional Games to release “Amnesia: a Machine for Pigs” in 2013 while laying the groundwork for its latest release, “Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture,” a game that bears obvious comparison to “Dear Esther,” given its fixation on solitude and death.A PS4 exclusive until now, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture's PC release is unusual - not least for Sony Santa Monica's hand in publishing and funding the project. The game’s success allowed The Chinese Room to sever its connection with the University of Portsmouth, where Pinchbeck was employed as a lecturer and researcher.

It was built using the Source graphics engine that underpinned “Half-Life 2.” Initially released as a free download, it was well received by the mod community.

“Dear Esther,” one of most cerebral video games in recent times - about a suicidal man wandering an uninhabited island - began life as a user-created mod to a popular first-person shooter.
