Torchlight II releases on consoles Tuesday, hyped?

Hope so. The storepage still says 03-09-2019 so it's not like I'm crazy here. Also if it's not releasing today it could just say that, instead of literally closing the store whenever I try to look at the game on there.
I have so much going on in life and gaming. This is just hitting at a bad time of the year. Maybe I'll check it out down the road when it discounts down the road.
Never has in my experience. I've played a ton of digital games at midnight my time. Australia
And it's 8:30am my time now. And I've never had the store page crash like this either. Every time I look at it l, it crashes. But only on accounts that pre ordered the game
My pre order theme unlocked at midnight, but I still cannot download the game from the store (crashes) or my library (no option to download) on PS4.
I don't think people are saying the corpse of Runic Games should've ported over last year, but a 2014 release of a big 2012 PC release would've been the best time to do it and getting it out before Diablo III hit the PS4/XB1 would have probably helped big time.
When I try to download thevgame off the uk PSN store it kicks me out of the store completely into the dashboard. Anyone else have this issue? First time I've ever seen this happen and I own tons of digital games
Both Travis Baldree (who was one of the lead programmers as well as co-founder of Runic Games) and Erich Schaefer left Runic around that time period. I don't think there was a case after TL2's release on PC because when Baldree and Erich Schaefer left, it also resulted in company being forced to cancel the game they were working on and lay off several staff. Not that Runic was that large to begin with. It was unrealistic case considering after TL2 came out, the PS4 or XBX wasn't even released yet, and with the studio having internal troubles with crucial staff exodus and layoffs, there wasn't a likely scenario of the game being ported back then.
They worked with an external studio to help port Torchlight to Xbox 360, so they could've done the same with Torchlight II. There were a number of indie devs and pubs that specialized in porting PC games to PS4 and Xbox One around that time.
There was no external studio. Runic ported Torchlight 1 to XBLA entirely themselves with Microsoft publishing. In fact it was because of the XBLA release that caused Torchlight II to get delayed from Spring to Summer of that year.

I'm trying to look into it. As far as I know, everything is good and it will be available midnight August 3. Unfortunately, today is a holiday, so communication is a little slower.
Thanks for the reply!
I'm sooo hyped for this game, you have no idea. Hope it gets sorted!
Same here. I preordered it on PS4 yet every time I go to the page now it kicks me to the dashboard. Can't download from Library either.
Same, I can't open the page or download the game on psn. I tried the "download to your PS4" option on the store in a browser and that's not working either.
Just received a 50 MB update for the game on Xbox One X. The game still didn't seem to want to launch, so I restarted my console and am now able to play.

The lack of local coop and crossplay us kind of poopy (I don't have any Switch friends). But I'll probably bite on this do long as the Switch version reviews well.
Sorry everyone! It is a holiday in the US and I was traveling back from PAX West today, so it has been hard to stay on top of this. It does appear that people who pre-ordered are unable to download the game. I do apologize to any of you who find themselves in this predicament. We are working on resolving this as soon as we can, but as I said the holiday is making it difficult.
As far as the Switch version goes, I have been told it will be available tomorrow morning (Pacific Time), so people should expect it then. Sorry, everyone! These things are always tough, but it's been compounded by the holiday and PAX, I think.

I appreciate the response. But damn. I gave you guys money upfront and I don't get the game?
Not a great look. Here's hoping it gets sorted quickly. I just want to play :D
Yeah, as I said, sincere apologies for that. We always want everyone who buys one of our games to have the best experience possible, so no one is really happy about this on our end either. We are all working to try and get this resolved as soon as we can, but I unfortunately don't have an estimate for you just yet.
I wonder if could get a refund from Sony and just buy it
Again thanks for at least talking to us. Appreciated!
No local co-op is a damn shame.
Hope its something they change their mind about and patch in.
Otherwise it's a pass sadly

I wouldn't say that it's solid, but it's mostly solid.
For some reason, shortly after I started a new game, the frame rate was stuck in single digits for maybe 20-30 seconds. I assume something was loading.
The frame rate also has a tendency to chug when you level up, and I notice some small frame rate tips when things get really hectic during battle.
Also, when you load into a new area, the game seems to hitch up, with there being no animation for a moment.
Still, I'm really enjoying the game so far. I played through the original on Xbox One X (via the Xbox 360 version and Back Compat), and Torchlight II makes for a much more solid experience. The performance is absolutely terrible at times for the original game on Xbox 360 and Xbox One (even X), and it's nice to play the sequel at a pretty consistent 60 fps.
It did require a restart on my part, but I pre-ordered on Xbox One X and am able to play.
On Xbox One? Did you get a 50 MB update? If not, then go to your Games & Apps section and see if anything comes up in Updates.
Pre ordered it for the switch , pre downloaded the game and it doesnt let me play :( im in canada
Judging by the EU unlock, it is a morning unlock depending on your timezone, not a midnight one. Switch EU unlocked a 7AM my time
