Buy it from a shop on disc.

This is getting a retail release? Huh. Why.
TAJ
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
So people who go to stores to buy games will see it and maybe think "That looks like something that I'd enjoy. I think I'll buy that.".
I've got it right now on disk. The framerate takes random nosedived on certain areas of maps. Smoke in the background sometimes looks like it's 10fps lod. Maybe. Looks wrong. I've had a bit of tearing at the top of the screen and framerate issues that are noticeable. Not that often tho, but it did make me go ewww hope this fixes those and it's constant 60
You get the season pass and extra suit and bike skin for getting disk. So I got that

Devtools are never finished. They continue to evolve with new techniques, adapt to surrounding tech, and there is always something to optimize to squeeze out a couple of more hp. It's a silly notion really.

Anyone else fucking tired of day 1 patches?
I know I am.
I mean jesus, if the code from the patch is ready day 1 just ship the game 3 days later then scheduled and put that damn code into the release.

It doesn't work like that.
That's not how physical copies work. They have to go gold which is on disc content complete x amount of weeks before release so the game can be pressed. They are still working on the game even though they can't change what's on the disc after going gold. Day one patches are here to stay because they give the devs more time to work on things like what they're doing here.
Let's say a game goes gold a month before it releases (which is normal). The devs would then begin working on a day one patch for that month until it releases. A game NEVER goes from finished to released in three days. More realistically, the game would have to be delayed about a month to have that day 1 patch ready in the release code. If I have to choose between downloading a small patch when I get the game that takes about five minutes, or waiting a month so that I don't have to download that patch, I think the choice would be pretty easy to make.

Hmm, that doesn't sound too good. Frame drops and tearing? Ew. Platform? Either way, really hope the patch fixes that, even if it means dialing some of the visuals back a bit. Framerate should be given top priority above everything else in a game like this, significant drops aren't really acceptable IMO.
Games turn into gold weeks before its release date.
If the game is digital only, then there won't be any problem. But retail games need to be printed and distributed to retailers first.

Certification of digital games doesn't happen overnight either, even if it of course doesn't take as long as getting a retail game out the door.

Ah, well shit on me I thought the game was a digital release only! HA ....

The average dude doesn't need to know what it means. All they need to know is X1 = weaker and more expensive. Information travels a lot faster nowadays and out of a group of friends it's likely at least one of them will know and spread the info.
a vast majority of the consumer base doesn't give a shit about specs. price and content are whats important. up here in Canada the ps4 price increase has killed sales while the xbox one game bundles are moving hardware at a solid pace.
if specs mattered everyone would have owned a n64, the ps1 would have flopped and we would still be gaming on carts.

source?
just going by what a few employees have told me and general store stock in my area when shopping.
I think it was brought up on the bombcast a week or two ago as well.
Yea, it makes sense, people are getting a better perceived value. One of my coworkers spouses bought one because of the price increase and also seeing the shape of the controllers at the best buy demo kiosk.

good news about the day 1 patch but...is anyone else frightened by the $39 pricetag?
that's like how much I spent on every trials game I already own.
why so pricey?

Retail version includes season pass (6 DLC packs coming within a year).
Digital version is $20 and does not include season pass.

Damn devs can't catch a break. They just shouldn't have admitted to this and quietly patched it.
if the final version has frame rate issues then the xbox or pc versions are the ones to get. frame rate affects gameplay, resolution does not and these games are hard enough as is.
I don't like this ubisoft pricing structure either. the dlc packs need to be sizable to merit the asking price and ubisofts dlc can be pretty poor. can we buy the $20 version then pay $20 later for the season pass? I don't like paying for a pass when I don't know what that dlc will be.

It's funny because the average person that I speak to waves the "PS4 is stronger" argument off by saying "They said the same thing about the PS3". Besides most consumers don't care as much about specs as we do here on Gaf. If they did consoles wouldn't exist. Most people care more about playing with their friends and playing the games they like.

Trials DLC has historically been incredibly well done with lots of content. Unless they've really changed their philosophy, I wouldn't worry about it content-wise. Though I don't buy season passes either way.

I was looking at digital release and it had 39 I wasn't sure if it was wrong-guess there are 2 options (one without DLC pass as well)-thanks
Oh, didn't know they are already selling a digital version including the season pass, but yes there is a cheaper digital version if you don't want to pay for DLC yet.
I'll be getting this for sure on Ps4.
Never, has a game made me swear as much as this when i had it on 360.
I bought the one on Ps3 a while ago but it didn't feel right, in feel, motion and weight..*shrugs
Can't wait for the Ps4 version, hopefully she'll look sweet as...(and plays the same too)

WipeoutHD.
Variable resolution yes. Still one of the best looking games on the platform? Yes.
Man I wish there would be a PS4 port.
A vast majority of the consumer base gives a shit about graphics. Otherwise they wouldn't buy new consoles.
I don't get your meaning. This game runs at 1600x900 on XBO after the day 1 patch and 1920x1080 on PS4.
In the OP it states the 360 version runs at 600p, which I didn't know was a thing. same goes for the original 800p of the Xbox One version.
The numbering seems random compared to what we've normally been accustomed to.
It's just shorthand. 720p and 1080p are 16x9 aspect ratios with 720 and 1080 vertical pixels. It's just dropping the horizontal. With games, outside of a few exceptions, it's usually 16x9 so the Xp abbreviation works.
Couldn't find a PS4 anywhere for months after launch. The second the price went up, all the stores I go to have maintained huge stock quantities.
So Canada is getting secret imports from NZ now?
Don't think it is most of the other early peeps have said its still having some problems. They were warning Journos that the game would have the best performance on release day.

You do know it takes longer than 3 days to go through the certification process, right?

Look at the difference of a 560ti and a 570 evga card. It's quite different and yeah, the 570 will produce better graphics it's a better card no if ands or buts about it. However multiplats don't always need to be the same game or be on some parity level. Giving multiplats a distinct look between each other to me was the golden age of gaming. Demanding parity is like to me anyway, demanding communism you think you want it, but you really don't.
Easy.... Then don't certify it gold...... Only certify gold when the game is ready for the general public to consume without a day 1 patch. It's ridiculous.
So you want games to be delayed for an indeterminate amount to of time rather than just be playing them. Got it. Hope you like waiting, preannounced release dates will be a thing of the past in your world. There would still be bugs in the product after your delay, can't possibly catch everything in testing with games as complex as they are these days.

Maybe call it bronze or silver the day 1 patch brings in the gold. But yeah back in the day of cartridge consoles you only had one shot and it will forever be version 1.0
