First is our most-requested item: a physical disc version of Rez Infinite for PS4 / PSVR. It’ll be a limited edition, not sold in stores—only online at iam8bit, with pre-orders starting on August 19th at 9am PST along with all our goods. (Just keep in mind that we can’t promise that these physical goods will reach players by our PSN launch date, but we’re planning to ship them as close as possible to that date in October!) This physical disc costs a little more than the digital version will, of course, but we hope fans and collectors will agree it’s worth it. I’ll be honest: a big reason we’re doing this is I wanted to have one of these for myself!

But next is what I’m personally most excited for: the vinyl record set. This is why I knew we had to go with iam8bit: music is an essential part of Rez Infinite, so when they sent a sample of their previous gaming vinyl work up until now, the decision was easy. iam8bit certainly didn’t disappoint on Rez Infinite, either—we were in love with their vision for this from the very first mockups we saw.

The vinyl record set includes 2 LPs of music from the original Rez, completely remastered for vinyl, plus an extra bonus 7-inch record featuring music from our new “Area X” content (as I say, more on this very soon, I promise!) There’s even a special limited edition, with prints of the player avatar right on the discs…

T-shirt designed by PHIL PISH (for real)

In the same way, we couldn’t help but create a few other items we wanted for ourselves, like this excellent t-shirt design from my friend (and super Rez Infinite supporter) Phil Fish, creator of Fez and the upcoming SUPERHYPERCUBE, plus a couple of cool collectible pins that iam8bit whipped up.

I’ve talked before about the reasons I decided to resurrect Rez for our upcoming PS4 game Rez Infinite: the chance to remaster everything to razor-sharp, 1080p fidelity and crisp 3D audio; to add new content in the form of Area X (more news on that soon!); and especially to give PSVR owners the bonus option to play the game like never before.

But another big reason I wanted to revisit Rez is maybe the simplest: the original game is really hard to find!

There’s no easy way to find and play any version of Rez currently—and no way at all on any of the current gaming systems. So while I’m super proud that, over the last 15 years, Rez’s fan community has grown along with its reputation, as more and more players have discovered its integration of graphic design, sound, and shooting action, at the same time I regret that fewer and fewer people have any way to play the game!

All that will change on October 13th, when Rez Infinite launches digitally at PlayStation Store. But that’s not all! Today I’m proud to announce something else our fans can look forward to this fall: a whole new line-up of cool Rez Infinite goods! As with the game, the original Rez soundtrack, T-shirts, etc. have become harder and harder to find over the years, so we’ve teamed up with the awesome folks at iam8bit to fix that.

Still no PC announcement and iam8bit on the vinyl. Crushing.

Edit: Oh, both shirts look nice though. Cool Phil got to work on one as I'm pretty sure Rez means a lot to him.

FYI, iam8bit still hasn't shipped the Explorer Edition of No Man's Sky yet. Caveat Emptor

Phil Fish of all people made a shirt for this game? Heh, that's irony for you.

Anyways I'm worried that preorders will sell out by the time I finally am able to get some spare time to get online tomorrow. Definitely need this as a physical copy.

I'm in for the shirts and 2 copies of the Vinyl. I'm going to open 1 and leave the other sealed.

So hyped for this. REZ is my favourite game of all time, so I'm in.

Oh dear gawd, I need all of this except that ugly ass phil phis tshirt.
This game is THE killer VR app as far as I'm concerned. Rez was meant to be played in VR. You shall see.

I really want this because I love Rez but fuck Iam8bit. If I could actually cancel my existing orders (you can't because they don't operate that way) I would. I'm actually pissed that I ordered the RL vinyl from them after all their media mail stuff went down.
 
physical iam8bit exclusive....

hype dies.

I'm guessing this is the Limited Run rival that they were teasing earlier. With that said, AFAIK iam8bit has a poor track record.

Fucking iam8bit.

FYI, iam8bit still hasn't shipped the Explorer Edition of No Man's Sky yet. Caveat Emptor

Look at the prices of the vinyl for a start with.

Plus they're shipping is pretty expensive and slow along with not having the greatest customer support.

iam8bit is scum company.
Hype severely diminished :(
