When is due SP?

Not really clear but according to the development road map, a demo should be released before Christmas, and the full release will be after.

Roadmap:

Thanks for the reply.

What about the Kickstarter stuff and the pre-order DLC, like the Savini Jason and other things like that?
Savini was kickstarter only and only at a certain tier. There was one day where it popped up on the Microsoft store but shouldn't have. That's not a part of the physical game.

Alright, I already knew that, but wasn't there more pre-order DLC?

Like the Virtual Cabin and other skins?
 
Yaaaaay, finally in stores, with season pass and exclusive Jason skin, what a great "fuck you" to us early adopter.

You're welcome Gun Media, never again.

What Season Pass? Apart from counselor skin packs all the other content appears to be free for all existing owners. One exclusive Jason skin for the retail version does not seem worth getting up in arms over.

It's just blood splattered on the old jason model skin, big whoop. Physical doesn't get anything else special, and Kickstarter backers got the game for $10 cheaper. There is no season pass

I’m pretty excited for Friday. I played some Quick Play tonight on PS4 and wow, I am seriously rusty. I hadn’t played since the end of July. Got chosen as Jason in my second match and had forgotten the finer points of controlling him when using his powers (oops).

Looking at their roadmap the game is nowhere near being done? How can they sell this on a disc when it's incomplete?

Does it say early access on the cover?

Disappointed it's not going on sale for consoles during the the 13th. Damn.

If you're preordering the physical version from Amazon it's 20% off, I'm sure there's a Best Buy GCU discount - if you're thinking of picking it up at all it's a good time to do it since this weekend is a Double XP weekend. I'm sure there'll be plenty of new players diving in for that and there's new content for the existing players too.

It's a damn fun time (with the right group of people).

How is the game running now? Want to play a bit given that its october and likely should be a bunch of new players on this weekend.
 
"Fixed a bug that allowed Tommy Jarvis to be killed during his entrance cut scene"

LOL sounds hilarious.

Have they fixed the host issue yet? I'd have played the game a lot more if the host leaving after dying didn't end like 90% of my games. Moved on to DbD because of that.

No host migration and they mentioned dedicated servers a while back but I don’t recall hearing anything more since. http://forum.f13game.com/index.php?...rs-update-and-why-host-migration-wont-happen/

Not as deep as he thinks
Love the new map. The rain effects enhanced the overall atmosphere of every map I've played.. Part 4 theme music is amazing, the new counselor is also fun. This update is pretty fucking awesome so far!

Part 4 Jason unlocks at level 44 btw.

Also, stuns are back! 👍🏽
 
Update is fantastic! I love that they fixed some stuff like the bugged luck, summary viewable as Jason again without having to go to mute players screen. Chad is again awesome to play as, and back to AJ being terrible for fighting Jason.

New Jason, map and counselor seem pretty good. Part 4 is surprisingly harder than I thought it'd be to play as given he can run and has destruction. The 3 games I played as him have been drawn out quite a lot with the last 2 counselors surviving much longer than they would if I was part 8 for example. I let a friend demask me and holy fuck, that is one sexy Jason.

It seems mostly free of unexpected new issues that patches tend to bring into this game, though I noticed a couple of weird issues I'd never encountered before.

I was Jason and at the very start of the game, as soon as I moved inside the shack it's like the whole environment basically disappeared then I was in water and the game ended, as though Jason had died. Kind of like when you get shot with a flare gun when pulling someone out of car and you glitch off of the map, but this happened the second I moved... very weird.

Also, tried to kill Jason as Tommy, he dropped to his knees after being stunned with sweater and hit with wrench by sweater girl.

The X prompt came up and nothing happened when I pressed it, the X just stayed on the screen the whole time then eventually he got up.

Another time, I tanked a trap at the phone and the health spray didn't work when I pressed square, even though it was definitely selected. My fear level was fine so that wasn't anything to do with it (sometimes if the inventory and minimap disappears you can't even do things like pick up a weapon or use items if fear is high enough), cost me me my life in that game though.

New map is awesome, though I think it will be much more enjoyable to play on once I have a better idea of the layout, the original maps I know like the back of my hand so this feels pretty daunting to play on at first.

One thing I've noticed is it seems harder to find a map on the new map, which is frustrating when you're trying to learn where everything is, might just be imagining it but I have come to rely on the map stand near the two main houses and hope that I spawn near it.

I found the propeller at the start of a game and ran around with it for 10 minutes looking for map, by the time I found it I was nowhere near the boat. Equipping the map perk feels like a waste normally, but I wish I'd had it during those games where I had to waste several minutes trying to find a basic item like a map in order to not feel lost and directionless.

I love the rain being added, though I do find it a bit distracting at times as it's pretty loud and ever present even on the ending screen. I'm probably just still getting used to it - definitely gives the atmosphere a boost.
 
Yeah, I'm loving this update and have been playing a lot more recently than I have been. Jarvis House map is pretty damn big and I find myself getting lost on it a lot more than the others when I played them for the first time. Fuck the spawn at the campsite where no cabins are, though. I got thrown into that one twice and it sucks.

Just had a game as Part 4 Jason on the Jarvis map and massacred everyone in saw. I play him just like a shark and just focus on one person at a time after dropping my traps off at the phone and car. He also has some great kills.

Welp, just received this email about my Kickstarter backing of the physical editon:

The team dislikes having to announce that we’ve ran into some issues, but we want to be upfront about it and fill in everyone with the information we have at hand.

There have been unforeseen manufacturing issues that cascaded into shipping delays. These issues have set us back, and your copies will not be going out until later next week. Everyone that ordered physical copies of the game and the Steelbook collector’s editions are affected by this delay.

There have been several issues with the Steelbooks and sleeve in the manufacturing process that became a series of minor setbacks that quickly added up causing time to be lost. On top of that we’ve had shipping delays on other SKU’s and these have had us scrambling to find creative ways to cut the time back down till we can get everything in your hands.

All that said, we’ve also designed and set up some additional goodies to make up for all of this. We’ll be including the following items in all physical game backers packages as our way of apologizing for this unfortunate & unavoidable delay.

Die Cut Magnet - Friday the 13th- https://imgur.com/rEtJNbk
Jason Part IV Sticker - https://imgur.com/JQe6EHu

Some quick updates on what's going on for each physical item.
Physical Game Copies: All versions of the game will be sent out as soon as our fulfillment partners at Limited Run Games receive them from manufacturing. This includes the regular physical edition, the Steelbook collector's edition (Rev 1 & Rev 2), as well as all signed editions. Currently these are tracking to be shipped out next week.

Signed Copies: Whether you are getting the signed regular editions or the signed Steelbook collector’s edition, the game will ship to you next week and then the signed sleeve/cover will be mailed to you at a later date. With everyone's schedules so hectic this has proved to be a challenge, but never you worry. We're pinning down the signing dates and will be ensuring that all the horror legends and Gun Media team sign each sleeve.

:(

I gave my digital copy to my friend and have been waiting for this moment. 1 more week isn't gonna kill me, but I'm just disappointed they weren't able to get these out while they release the physical edition in stores tomorrow.
 
Is the games community still shitty? The updates sound nice but the thought of playing with randoms again is keeping me away.

The vast majority of the time I play, I'm on Quick Play. Haven't been in an active group in at least two months. QP is still a pain in the ass due to host/Jason quits, asshole teammates who either A.) never play the objective or B.) will sacrifice you to save themselves (at least they can't team kill or body block anymore), and some random glitches. It's a lot better game than it was in the last two months and the extra content is pretty nice.

If anyone is down to play in a group, just shoot me an invite. My PSN is my name here.
 
I got this today. It's very hard.
I killed one person, I'm the scariest Jason.

Personally to me it seems like its gotten lot harder to play as Jason, folks learning the limits of what he can do and how to cheese him. Dunno why, but feels like seeing lore more people surviving matches than we have in the past.
