I heard midnight on the 5th... is that EST, worldwide, or...? Hoping 9pm PST. 
Bethesda is usually midnight EST in the US. Not sure if it's a different time for the rest of the world.I heard midnight on the 5th... is that EST, worldwide, or...? Hoping 9pm PST.

It's him. He has the checkmark (like Twitter has) behind his name just like Boyes and Druckmann's profiles do.
You said you don't want to download 37GB at 600KBps and when I made the post the digital version was still more than a day away from unlocking. It's the physical version that's releasing in the middle of the month, so if your issue is only your download speed, as your earlier post suggests, then even now you're not actually doing yourself any favours by opting for the physical version.

Is the PC version out a day earlier (4th)? Or have Nuuvem just messed up in their listing?
I should have specified, it's not only my download speed -- it's my data cap that's also a concern. I don't want to chip away at a good chunk of my monthly allocated data just to have the game earlier.
It said the 4th, but now it says the 5th.
The biggest difference is definitely with environment textures and those designed with smaller surface areas in mind, such as character models, but artists can choose to offer less detail in certain areas, so there's still a degree of inconsistency among the environment. This Wolf14 screenshot is a decent example:
I wanted to post an image showing the visible compression artefacts in Rage, but I couldn't find any.
Ah, fair enough.

Wow. I did too. Now I just need to platinum Knack, invent a classic arcade hit, be president of a publishing company and engineer a 20 million selling console and I'm almost as good as him. Almost...

Playstation store says: "Play the game on 5/5/15 starting midnight Eastern Time."

There's a physical release in PAL regions and Japan, import away~
I hope so too, that was my only minor complaint about TNO.

Hmmm weird, it still says the 4th on my end. I just wondered if it was out earlier in Brazil or something, but looks to be a worldwide release as far as I can tell.

Yes absolutely.

Probably wont.
My major gripe with idtech5,. beyond all of its other problems, is how it handles AF.
It maxes out at what is apparently 4x (ugh)... and if you hold out a longer gun... you can see texture distortion on it as it moves a way from the camera origin. You have stuff like where the pistol's barrel's heat dissipation holes are just blurs where than being distinct textures.

Thank you
You can force higher levels of AF via the console and the game will oblige despite said console insisting that the value hasn't changed, but it reverts back to 4x for realsies whenever the textures are reinitialised (i.e. whenever a level is [re]loaded).

wow, so no physical release for the US? that sucks, but for around 17 dollars or less it won't be that hard to just delete it after i'm done.

I'm also expecting it to be about 4 hours worth of campaign for that price, so not going to be too stressed out on not having a disc on my shelf. Good one time experience for the money.

This is actually more expensive than what I paid for TNO ha. Hype for this though, TNO was a sleeper hit for me.
pre-loading has commenced.

Same, I'm ordering this tonight. The Wilhelm scream had me laughing.
Same here, but they proved themselves with TNO big time. I'll willing to bet I won't regret the purchase a single cent.

If they fixed the awful audio mixing, maybe improved the melee animations (because let's be honest, they were low impact and janky in TNO) and the cutscenes are less frequent, this could honestly turn out to be an even better game than TNO.
I wholeheartedly believe it has the potential to be a Blood Dragon/Far Cry 3 situation.

What was wrong with the audio? I'm either forgetting or didn't notice. I sure hated Unity's cardboard box mix issue.

I feel the same the guns better actually have some bass this time.

Audiomix was all over the place, explosions sounding super quiet, guns being all over the place compared to voices and other grunts.
It's the most noticeable in outdoors environments like the beginning when you're in the trenches with the huge mechs roaring above. Everything is super quiet.

I'm never quite sure when to put OTs up, so I'll probably be putting it up around noon EST.
It's unlocking worldwide in a 12 hours and 20 minutes. I had my fingers and toes crossed for a 12am AEST unlock here in Australia, but alas.

Not to undermine the greatness of the game, but how long is the game supposed to be on a first run? I intend to play on hard, mind you.
6-8 hours. About half the length of Wolf14 proper, basically.
Really? They could've atleast done it like GTA V and have it unlock on European times!, That's not really fair! Still tough, that's only 10PM for me.

I'm streaming right now on the X1 for an hour. I won't be talking however, so my sexy voice won't distract from the game.

You sure that it actually works? In my experience it did not effect image quality inspite of being forced continuously on level load.
Only AA worked (albeit with coverage problems and white line errors on certain geometry).

Will this have enhancements graphically?
I am just curious, will get it either way.
