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


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..

'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 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.
 
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)

The only way the average would go down was having less than zero and then zmatt pre-ordered his an hour after midnight - yay!
..and then four pre-orders were canceled.
 
Huh?

Total preorders: 786 [548 networked; 15 2GB, 771 4GB] {Stand2GB: 10, Stand4GB: 228, US2GB: 1, US4GB: 152, EU2GB: 4, EU4GB: 391} @ 2016-06-20 19:15:18 CEST

So yeah, it looks like there were actually four cancellations yesterday. So, there were three actual new preorders yesterday (though perhaps two of them, being placed so quickly after the cancellations, were corrected re-preorders).

Edit: Looking more closely, all four cancellations were standard 4GB editions, but the two quick repreoders were also standard 4GB units. So they weren't reordered because they'd ordered the wrong units, but perhaps something else was wrong with the orders, or perhaps it's just a coincidence two orders can through in quick succession of the cancellations.

Hmmm.. sales numbers are pretty bad by now. I suppose people are spending their money on summer holidays instead.
Hopefully we will soon get some cool updates from EDs visit to Greece. That might get the ball rolling again.
 
Well, since preorders opened we've only really had one news post about cases and packaging - we've still not really seen units running anything useful live (ED's launch video had some static apps running). Even GPD win have managed to show some games running now, for comparison. There's a lot more to come from the Pyra before they come on stock, and I'm sure they'll give the preorder queue a kick.
 
yes, those preorders could use a kick. a swift kick.

Arg! Well festivals have started... I have loads of stock... worked my tush off the last couple of weeks to make it..
So wish me good sales people. If I sell enough to reorder supplies for the Xmas season, and live by.... whatever is left over is earmarked for a pre order. ..
So there is one more coming from me (at least I hope so).

But you will have to wait about 30 days to see if I can actually do it... wish me luck!

And where are those videos ED? .. how's the rotation chip going?

Wasn't nicolaus on a well deserved holiday now?
My guess is Ed does not want to show games and such without proper drivers as a mediochre performing unit, if even a prototype, might give a wrong impression for people who are not on top of it like the regular forum visitors.
