Has any company ever brought forward a release date for a game because stores have sold it early? pretty much every ps4 game I can think has been sold early and I don't remember that ever happening.

The CE is back in stock at Amazon too, no fancy extras like Game though. Looks like the silver inlay comes with any PC pre order rather than just the CE

I am avoiding looking at anything because of spoilers, but has anyone read or does anyone know a console gamer that is playing it. Just wondering if the game is living up to the hype gameplay/story wise.

I think, i may be wrong, that reviews can be published tuesday?

That doesn't matter. People are already playing this game in some countries.

Seen some people playing on Ustream today....

Witcher1979 · 10 May 2015 at 21:58

Yeah as I posted earlier it was already leaked on consoles so people do already own it and are playing it. I think twitch are banning the streams though. Just wondered if anyone knew someone who had it and if it was really a good game

Anyone seen this? Seems that the graphics have had quite a downgrade even at Ultra:

Big thread on GoG

Story and gameplay is all I care about.

I like the second better in terms of creating a natural looking distance. I also prefer the lusher spring-like colouration over the bleached late summer look, but I'm not a fan of the veg quality overall in the final game... at least from the vids and screens... it may look great when I see it on my own screen.

TBH if offered both to play I'd take the bottom version.

Oh great more "downgrade" nonsense... woo... :|

Nice high quality 2nd screenshot BTW i can count the pixels, a very good comparison. :rolleyes:

VincentHanna · 11 May 2015 at 00:50

Its nonsense there's been a downgrade or its nonsense that developers keep doing this?

BaDBoY_uK · 11 May 2015 at 00:52

Everyone forgotten about WatchDogs then... same ol **** different game

I'll wait and see tbh. Pre-ordered

Everything you have said is nonsense.

frankly i could care less about a bloody "Downgrade" if the gameplay is there then i really do not care about the graphics.

Edit: Oh and the classic "watchdogs" comparison is there, i forgot this game was published by Ubisoft.

Maybe the 2015 gameplay trailer was taken from a console version.

In any case, if it has been downgraded, it will be because the consoles already cant keep up.

Jono8 · 11 May 2015 at 01:07

Hm, to be honest, it does look a bit **** compared with the early trailers

Yeah, it looks a bit bland tbh. Hopefully the story is decent though.

I promised myself that I'd get all the books read before the game came out. But the prospect of me reading 4 books in a week is quite daunting haha.
