Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)

[erico]

Yep, but that is expected as so far all sales were pretty much community driven, no larger scale announcements yet.
So every little step further on the video/news front will bring people in.

edit: suppose this was a kickstarter, with its fame, we could well add an extra 0 to the number of users, but I think kickstarter is not the way to go. Community advertisement should be enough to get the product out and going.

 

[ckblackm]

It's my plan to get one.. but with the credit I have at Link's shop.. I was just going to wait until he got some in stock.

Is anyone else seeing a cursory trend? More news = more sales?

0 Pre-orders in the 47th 24 hours (782)

Maybe, but it doesn't last very long.

 

[levi]

Well, ED doesn't seem to have made the videos public yet (maybe he doesn't intend to, as they're really progress reports for us preorders I guess - but I've certainly posted them on already). Perhaps if he made them accessible from his channel people can see that things are moving on however they find out about the pyra, and whenever.

That would suggest the last newspost and two videos ED made were worth about 10 preorders. That's probably fair enough actually, as updates from now on should get increasingly exciting as the project moves on.

Ordered! Yay, 2Gb Pyra in two months (in a clear case, pretty please )

[Drezrek]

I said to myself that I wouldn't preorder but since I had some extra money saved up, and being around since the early days of the Pandora...
Haven't preordered anything ever since BRINK managed to crush all of my hopes and expectations back in 2011 and there's nothing that has come to getting me this hyped for anything for such a long time.

Until now. Got the 2GB mobile edition, EU version.
Best wishes to the team and to this awesome community!

 

[Klumpen]

Ahoi!

Haven't preordered anything ever since BRINK managed to crush all of my hopes and expectations back in 2011

There's a story to be told, me thinks. What's BRINK?

 

[Drezrek]

Ahoi!

There's a story to be told, me thinks. What's BRINK?

BRINK is a FPS game developed by Splash Damage back in 2011. I got overhyped by how good everything looked and the whole "hold spacebar to jump over stuff" mechanic that other games lacked, along with having a somewhat good character customization system also helped to sell it for me.
Anyone who's familiar with how things went probably knows what happened after it released and it's faith. Poor performance and just a mess with the optimization of the engine killed off the community within weeks and while there was some patches released here and there it just seemed to be too late at that point.

I can't recall this, but I red on their forums that they are unable to provide any updates due to the IP not being in their possession anymore. Could be wrong about that but I'm more interested in the Pyra now than anything right now, though.
Hope that it works to call it 'DragonBox' instead, just that name for a device is such a massive appeal layered on-top of the specs and all of the possibilities that comes with this kind of open hardware/software and community.

That logo is very much in my taste as well, even if a tiny part of me really would've liked something more dragon-y... Can't say that it would make a huge difference since it's part of the outward design and less about the core thing that I really want to have so badly right now, the Dragonbox itself.

I bought Brink years ago for PS3 but never played it. It's that terrible huh?

'nuff said.

Has Bethesda ever released a more or less finished game?
I imagine them like a suit and tie with a bullwhip screaming "Deadline, deadline!" at the real devs it is standing behind.

I bought Brink years ago for PS3 but never played it. It's that terrible huh?

Last time I checked in was around 2-3 months, the PC community seems to be completely dead but there was some still posting on the steam forums about doing planned events.
Even with these new specs it's just so stuttery and sluggish, almost as badly as it was way back..

I missed that part and that would explain a lot, sadly. Gotta love Beth doing just enough for their own games, so could see that they would rush a 3rd party company to the point of releasing a complete mess of a game.
Just a shame that it would be that one thing that made me stop preordering for several years, really hope that everything will go smoothly with the Pyra to somewhat redeem my experience with that whole disaster.

 

[Silent-Hunter]

Fortunately ED doesn't rush, he takes his time to make sure stuff works. At least that's how it seems. Heck, he won't even say what month it'll be released, let alone a date, because he knows he may not be able to meet it without cutting corners.

I know about the 'Craig' story with the Pandora and how it upset a lot of people but I still have a lot of faith in ED and the team behind him.
Don't want to jinx it by being too hopeful, but it does feel like I made a wise decition by waiting and reading up on everything before going ahead with the down-payment.

Been 5 years of resisting the urge to jump onto projects that's still in development. Won't say it's 'faith' or anything like that but I just get that feeling that I really want to take one more risk like this for something that I really think got it all while being so unique and useful.
Could wait for years but it will definitely be worth it.

The Elder Scrolls games are great (once the mod teams fix all the bugs Bethesda won't)
