Yea this.
I very much look forward to playing the game. Being asked to pay more than others for it is going to make me wait to do so. That's disappointing to me as an Alan Wake and Quantum Break fan, but the game being sold functionally only on EGS gives us no choices in the matter. Amazon? Nope. Best Buy? Nope. GreenmanGaming? Nope. Humble? Full price. GoG, GameStop, itch.io? Nope, nope, nope. It's just a worse deal for us. About 18% worse, at which time it just begins to be the principle of the matter.
Anyway, I guess I'll pick it up later, as nobody here can change any of this anyway.
Developers won't pass the savings down. Trickle down economics never works in any form. PCera has been calling this out for months. Ever since Tim started up that particular ridiculous PR statement.
The real reason PC games often end up cheaper at launch is competition between PC storefronts. Something which Epic take away since they have a very literal monopoly on that content.
Even their Humble Bundle partnership appears to have a fixed pricing clause of some kind which prevents them from selling any game cheaper than Epic.

This is going to be a "Gamepass within 6 months" title, I feel. Longer if it's a smash hit, sooner if it's a bomb, but after the initial spike of sales wanes I don't think it'll take long. 505 has put several titles on the service already and as a mid-budget game that presents very well it would be attractive to users and also probably not command the same kind of price that a AAA title would from Microsoft.
They are bound by exclusivity deal to EGS for a year and now that Gamepass crosses over to PC it could put them into corner in relation of having Control on Gamepass.
40 mins of gameplay from Gamescom if you're still not sold on the game,
The game map looks huge with what looks like half a dozen levels. There's an execute hub where people you rescue will go and you'll be able to intereact them.There's fast travel and scenery/destruction isn't persistent, it 'repairs' but it's not clear if it's immediately after you leave an area or if it's done over time.

There's still a distinction between Game Pass for Xbox and Game Pass for PC. They could allow it on console but not on PC, like it's happening with DMC 5 right now.
Lol yup! Just going around punching stuff is fun.
I love the little details associated with it. If you punch a bookcase or a desk, you'll see papers fly.
If you punch a wall, you'll see the damage.
It makes you feel like a bad ass!
A little surprised that there is no HDR in this,given all the lighting effects and dark and bright area mixed together but oh well still looks pretty great and this trailer really makes me want to play it day one now,instead of putting the game on my must buy in the future list...cant wait for the day ones impressions.
Looking sharp! Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks you, didn't notice your reply... different timezone I guess 😉
Gratitude for posting. I don't want to watch much but it's always cool to see the final game in action. There is a part where Jesse fires at a fire extinguisher and it just start flying around madly until blowing up.
It's impossible to tell without playing the game but I have the impression Remedy nailed where to put their efforts in this game.
Until I saw the final trailer, I'd forgotten that this was coming at all. Remedy is one of my favorite devs, but what with one thing and the other, the last game of theirs I was able to play was Alan Wake. Went from 0 to 100% hype very quickly.
This looks like The Laundry Files: The Unofficial Video Game, and that makes me extremely happy.

Yeah I'm thinking about getting this game. When do reviews drop?
Personally, I would also love the trailers and everything to be in 4K but think that you would then get people thinking the game runs in 4K resolution across all platforms/versions and this might create confusion. Having said the above it still looks stunning in the 1080 file on my PC. It's just that the YouTube compression doesn't do the game any favors.
As a sidenote, like Thomas Puha (Remedy Communications Director) stated earlier on, the game runs at 30fps on all console versions.
Fair enough, though for Youtube purposes it would help the most since it's too compressed at 1080p and 4k helps show off the beauty of the game more. It's why I do upscaled 4k 60fps for everything(and plan to record at native 4k in the future).
This is true. If you upload at 4K on YouTube it compresses the footage far less. I know people that shoot with their cameras at a sharp 1080p, then upscale to 4K in order for their YT footage to show crispier when they upload.
That's...disappointing. For a game going all out supporting cutting edge technology (PC version), not supporting HDR seems like a miss.
I get it, but man. You want your game presented in the best way possible and the 1080p compression on Youtube just doesn't do it. I'm getting it regardless on PC, it just immediately stood out to me when I watched it for the first time.
Only in US, full price elsewhere. It was a nice gimmick to get headlines and very few people even bothered to report that the discount is only for few select people.
I totally get your point. Having said that, the "World Trailer" is in 4K which we published in December.
On another note, I'm building a PC rig just for the game. This weekend (hope I find time!)
It was shown during the Rocket Beans stream here. Thomas was playing. Guess it will get archived to YouTube when the live ends:
Yeah, noticed it here aswell. I´m assuming it is just an error.
Hijacking this to ask how many Chapters game has?
Asking because wondering if I should watch Cohh's special event for early taste or if getting to play 4 Chapters in is half or third of whole game.
it's one of the reasons I have started picking up games at launch on the Ps4
That's the one thing that's bugging me. I hope it's not like an average uncharted games length.
I read it could be like 15 hours or so.
