Do they specifically state it will actually be PS5/Series enhanced? I could see them just giving you the PS4 or XB1 version and calling it good, since it'll work on those consoles.

It says the complete edition from 2014, so that makes me think it will be the backwards compatible version.

I thought Watch_Dogs 1 was aggressively fine so if it's a next-gen update I'll... not play it, but I won't be unhappy it exists.

WD1 was aggressively wank and janky with gently caress all attention to minor details for a “next gen” game at the time.

I remember car headlights casting no shadows and fire hydrants just spraying up through the body of the car like it wasn’t there.

There's nothing that works well. Wario 64 has been too slow usually, and also generally Nowinstock fails to even notice preorders go up. There's really nothing you can do aside from be in the right place at the right time. It's bad.

Nowinstock has been glitchy as hell for me too. I'll use the browser alerts and then it'll log me out without even telling me after about 10 minutes. And if I do the email alerts, I don't get them until about 20 minutes later. So I'm just hoping that Amazon randomly gets in stock with them while I'm checking something else.

I figure I probably won't actually get one until like January or February. Which is ok because the launch titles aren't anything special, but I'm impatient.

I got it off eBay like a month after launch for £15 and thought that was just a pretty sweet bargain until I played it and realised I got ripped off.

I actually really enjoyed Watch Dogs' multiplayer. The whole gimmick of a lethal, competitive hide-and-seek was fun and I used to have a bunch of clips of me outsmarting and tricking players into doing what I wanted. So I'm kind of disappointed that Invasions aren't available at launch for Legion.

Uhhh Invasions aren't in the game at launch though??? WTF?

That's especially weird given the delay, but I'm fine with waiting for invasions to be added before playing since there's so much else coming out in the fall. For some reason the PS5 version doesn't even release until November 24.

edit: actually according to that video the PS5 version does release on the 12th, but retailers still have it listed for the 24th. Weird.

It was great at the start before people really figured out you could instantly check if you were being invaded by pausing your game. I loved just trailing people and messing with them.

I’m already committed to AC Valhalla being my Regrettable Ubisoft Launch Purchase for this gen.

I'm really hyped for Legion, the new NPC tracking/recruitment system sounds amazing and shockingly experimental for a big budget ubisoft openworld. And I really liked WD2 as well.

Definitely way more interesting than Assassins Creed Valhalla, which I will also buy because I'm all ubisoft this PS5 launch, except for Cyberpunk obviously.

Anyone have advice on navigating the pre order maze? I have a vague sense that everywhere sold out, but haven’t done any digging. I’d like one of these since I made the wrong bet last generation in an Xbox, and want to play some of the old exclusives plus new shinies. The trick is my wife really wants to play Assassins Creed Valhalla on launch day, and if u don’t have a PS5 in hand then, I will be forced to get it for the old Xbox and then we will be stuck for a while with that.

So basically, is there a reasonable chance I can wander into Best Buy five days after launch and get one? Or do I need to channel Gollum.

My city of 5 million still hasn't opened retail lol. Seriously considering staying home for console delivery week so no one jacks my poo poo. Usually the mail man just goes by the honour system in the lobby despite about 1500 people living in the building.

You get to be the Gollum you've always wanted to be. The console sold out in like 5 minutes and every time they go in stock again anywhere they sell out in less than a minute. It comes out mid-November, so I figure between the pre-order fanboys and the mom's wanting it for their kids on Christmas, they are going to be non-existent until like February/March. Even people that pre-ordered are getting told they can't guarantee it ships this year, so I think everyone who hasn't already pre-ordered is SOL.

My tiny rural area is kitbashing some pseudo-midnight launch where the day before you wander into electronics, give them your name and cell number, then you get a ticket with a number on it and you wander back at midnight to get your stuff. Hopefully your number is low enough to get one!

Nah you'll be fine. There won't be any real big additional load on PSN from this.

Absolutely untrue; Your typical "peak" load is an ebb and flow of timezones, available free time, and individual game session length. Your peak at-launch load is literally everyone logging in to set up their consoles and play with their expensive new toy for hours on-end. Just look at what's happened with global bandwidth during COVID with everyone turning on Netflix.

And with a digital-only edition, that means a good chunk of them are also gonna be hammering PSN to download their new purchases.

Yup, getting mine delivered rather than picked up because gently caress going near a retail store in Melbourne anytime soon. Kinda sad I didn't score an EB preorder on that count, because they do try drat hard to ship new stuff early so it arrives on/near release day. JB Hi-Fi always just sends it out on the day.
