Day 1 baby

 

[Overdoziz]

I think you mean 19.99USD

The soundtrack is 9.99.

 

[Andrew.]

Loved Bastion, especially the soundtrack.

Will more than likely pick this up, but goddamn it comes out the same day as Wolfenstein.

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

Any chance we could get Bastion on PS4?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Really looking forward to this but man Steam has spoiled me, I'm not willing to pay £23 for the game + OST =/

 

[R0ckman]

What a nice treat, looks like I'll have a couple of games to play this month.

 

[sixpackrules]

I don´t usually pre-order games but i really want this guys to make more games loved bastion, and this seems pretty cool too

 

[Vinterbird]

Can Europe expect the preorder option as well on PSN?

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

Really looking forward to this but man Steam has spoiled me, I'm not willing to pay £23 for the game + OST =/

I dunno, I think $20 is the sweet spot for approach-ability. Maybe Sound track for those that pre-order?

 

[Ibuki]

Steam version with Dualshock 4 or just get it on PS4? How do I decide?

 

[Rosur]

Was hoping for more June/July release due to end of may being busy (Wolfenstein, Watch Dogs and Mario Kart). I'll probably gonna wait for a sale on this.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

£15 with the OST and I'd be right in!

 

[Stratosphere]

So bought. Bastion was amazing, and I have no doubts this will be the same.

 

[bigboss370]

will buy. this game has always looked amazing.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

any perks to preordering on psn?

 

[kasavin]

Can Europe expect the preorder option as well on PSN?

The PSN preorder is for North America only unfortunately. The storefronts are different and we weren't able to get it going in Europe.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Kasavin has never proven me wrong so day 1!!

 

[Liha]

Is there any difference between the PC & PS4 version?

 

[Tsundere]

Awesome!

 

[kasavin]

Kasavin has never proven me wrong so day 1!!

Thank you sir!

 

[jmood88]

I'm still upset that Microsoft did nothing to reach out to Supergiant and get this on the Xbox One first but I'm glad that I won't miss out since it's coming out on PC, too.

 

[GavinUK86]

PC game and OST here I come!! My wallet already hates me this month with Watch_Dogs CE, now this.

 

[Azlan]

This looks excellent. Loved Bastion and really liked what I saw of the Transistor PAX East demo. I started waiting in line for the demo and saw it played all the way through about ten times before I was half way through so and lost the will to wait any longer.

This will likely be one of my backlog once I pick up a PS4 (once there are enough exclusives to warrant the purchase) unless they make an Xbox One release of it down the road.

This is a good month for indie titles with both Super Time Force and Transistor.

 

[Lingitiz]

Wouldn't be surprised if it hit Xbox at some point too, barring any contractual deals (not aware of any). Bastion was ported to a bunch of platforms but never hit PS3 due to the deal with MS.

 

[Goldenroad]

Is there a discount for pre-ordering? If not, why would anyone in their right mind do so?

 

[Virdix]

Store has to update first.

Thank you, sorry for my ignorance.

 

[preheatedbibby]

Day 1, probably with soundtrack.

 

[Lingxor]

I hope they put out a launch trailer soon...

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

Am still interested in picking this up for PC via Linux/Steam OS. But for now, the PS4 version will suit me beautifully

 

[M.Steiner]

If you live in Europe then buy it here (for PC):

http://supergiantgames.com/index.php/2014/05/transistor-preorder-soundtrack/#bundle

This way the game is cheaper (14€ for the normal version and 22€ for the OST version), you get a Steam key and the developers get more money.

Thanks for linking. Will buy from there rather than the steam store in that case.

 

[Stratosphere]

Is there a discount for pre-ordering? If not, why would anyone in their right mind do so?

Because we can? Whether I'm buying it today or May 20th, I'm still buying it.

 

[daveo42]

Was looking at this game this morning before work. Glad the preorder is up. I'll have to snag it when I get home.

 

[petethepanda]

I continue to be baffled by how Sony decides what can have a Platinum and what can't.

 

[krypt0nian]

Is there a discount for pre-ordering? If not, why would anyone in their right mind do so?

I do it to show my support of a game that I've followed for a year. Gladly.

 

[littlegrasshopper]

Tempted to buy this on Steam but I already pre-ordered Wolfenstein. Not sure if even Transistor can ripped me away from that game. But I will pick this game up at some point.

 

[Goldenroad]

Because we can? Whether I'm buying it today or May 20th, I'm still buying it.

Yeah, but keep the money in your pocket until May 20th. It's worth more to you in your bank account than it is in someone elses. You don't get the game any earlier, the developer doesn't get any extra money out of it. They only person this is bad for is yourself, but if you don't care about your finances, I sure don't either.

 

[kubus]

Do we know the PSN euro price?

I can't decide if I want this on PS4 or PC ... Steam version is probably cheaper with the dollar conversion...

I have to admit I've been on a media blackout for this game. I'm going to assume this is a controller game, or is mouse+kb better?

If it's a more controller-ish game I'll go with PS4.

 

[B00TE]

Looking forward to this, really liked what I saw at PAX.

Now just to decide, Steam or PS4. Hmm.

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

Any word on whether or not it supports remote play? And/or how well it handles?

 

[bender]

Just pre-ordered the Soundtrack CD. Nice that they are offering FLAC versions for the download version on their site.

I'm not sure this is my type of game but at least the art/music will be amazing. Have to support Greg and the Supergiant Games team.

 

[Trouble]

I'm in for the PS4 version. Loved Bastion.

 

[jon bones]

Lightbar/speaker stuff sounds rad as hell.

Because we can? Whether I'm buying it today or May 20th, I'm still buying it.

It's generally considered good practice to not give companies interest free loans...

 

[krypt0nian]

Yeah, but keep the money in your pocket until May 20th. It's worth more to you in your bank account than it is in someone elses. You don't get the game any earlier, the developer doesn't get any extra money out of it. They only person this is bad for is yourself, but if you don't care about your finances, I sure don't either.

It's better for me to take care of it while I'm thinking about it. That money isn't doing anyone any good in a bank account. It has nothing to do with "finances" unless the interest of two weeks on $20 is somehow meaningful to you.

 

[antibolo]

Why the fuck do people "pre-order" digital games with no discount, preloading, or other bonuses?

Makes no goddamn sense. You're giving them your money earlier for absolutely no benefit to you whatsoever.

I find it convenient. That's a benefit.

I find it far more odd that anyone cares about how others spend their money.

Without any incentive to pre-order it in advance I find myself scratching my head why you would do so.

1. No bonuses
2. No preloading
3. It's not like they are going to run out of copies of a digital game

I mean more than likely I will be purchasing this on May 20th, but what if it reviews really poorly or there is some game breaking bug on day one that prevents you from progressing? Not that I expect either of those things to happen, but you never know.

Seems unwise to give companies money in advance like that for no personal benefit.

 

[Honome]

that's great, probably gonna buy this and wolfstein for PS4 on 20th... just don't know if i will have money for Watch Dogs in the following week!

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

Because the phrase "I've got it pre-ordered" feels so damn crisp.

Who cares if I spend the money now or then?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Yeah, but keep the money in your pocket until May 20th. It's worth more to you in your bank account than it is in someone elses. You don't get the game any earlier, the developer doesn't get any extra money out of it. They only person this is bad for is yourself, but if you don't care about your finances, I sure don't either.

Yeah, blind fanboyism aside, let's be rational there is no benefit to buying now than on release.

How is it unwise? Again I find it conveient. I've already decided to by it. It's puzzling that anyone cares. I surely don't care how others spend thier cash.

Another fully acceptable answer is "because I feel like it"
