Support NeoGAF

[Puscifer]

Pretty neat! The day 1 patch is version 1.03 and there's a lot of changes made in the past 6 months. I think the last time I saw something like this was Dead Island accidently uploading the dev build to steam at launch years ago lol

Physical releases getting worse and worse.

So it's like getting two different games at the price of one. Physical just can't stop winning.

You just reminded me - I have ME: Andromeda on disc. At launch, with the day one patch, it was still an unbelievably broken mess, but I've never tried the "raw" version. Maybe I should, it could be hilarious.

They prettied Angela up a bit. I can't place my finger on it(edit: less dark spots on face, eyebrows less dense and dark, hair silkier), but there are subtle changes that make her better looking overall. Neogaf coomers had an effect.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Yeah, I saw this news a few days ago. It's actually rather impressive how solid that 6 month old disc build is.

 

[Gonzito]

I like more how it looked last angela scene in the unpatched version to be honest, it feels more dramatic

PS5 Pro version unlocked!

I've never understood people buying physical releases on day 1 unless they actual plan to buy the finished version of said game after the final patch has been dropped.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Really cool and interesting.

It's cheaper, you can lend it to friends or sell it, etc. What's not to understand?

I just hope David Duchovny gets royalties for his likeness used for Angela Orosco's character.

I was about to write exactly this

The unpatched, PS4 disc version of The Last Guardian runs unlocked at 60fps in quality mode on PS5. Sometimes physical does won't digital don't.

The Last Guardian always comes up but it's one game, are there any other examples of where the initial version was somehow better?

Red dead redemption 2. With later patches the game got downgraded visually.

 

[GymWolf]

So in a way, you could say this is the version with the bloopers included...

Not necessarily better but different. Portal has a different ending since they changed it before Portal 2 was released.

Are there any recent comparisons? I remember this back in the day but maybe nowadays it's restored?

It does because it's the definitive way to enjoy that masterpiece of a game.
I can't recall another example of that quality, but there are quite a few games with vanilla versions preferred for subjective reasons but not necessarily 'better'.
