The embargo ends on 14th, October
Yeah, but those guys are probably not press. They don't have to watch out for embargos, do they?

So if I stream this game today (twitch), will I get banned?
I wouldn't do it.

No, but any gameplay footage (photo or video) not authorized by bethesda is considered to break the rules of the embargo, as viewers will base their buying decisions on that

Well of course, with a name like Moviepilot, they are going to give it a slightly higher than average score. Duh.

Looking at other games ... very likely. Even if you have to use a sync command like in Wolf:TNO

Okay, thanks. I got the xbox One version so I thought it would be nice to share some impressions of the performance, loading times and IQ of this version :/

Looking good.
Gstaff confirmed the game would be able to be unlocked to 60 FPS. Though he wasn't perfectly clear on the issues that would arise when pressed.
How to get cinematic experience:
forced aspect ratio
55 angle FOV
900p
30fps (very important, lower the better)
You get extra points if you smear vaseline on your monitor
25 hours left on steam, and the game was already uploaded to steam days/weeks ago.
Everyone is just waiting for the BYTES to unlock tomorrow just becuase (no reason)
Great stuff

Preloading now. Didn't realize this unlocked at midnight EST, might actually get to play a bit tonight.

Yes, you will get banned.
You could create a new Twitch account though just incase you don't want to sacrifice your regular one (if you have a regular one that is).

I'm just challenging a more technical term to be given to the genre. I would like to see camera angles being mentioned inside genres, so we don't get a mass confusion. I think once that is done then we can tell which specific survival horror title is doing much better each generation.
I don't own a Wii U. I remember seeing footage of ZombiU, but my reaction was that it was just a title to throw a certain circumstance (or Zombies) at the player. Anymore a game does not carry over with its plot to make a triology or anything memorable. DayZ has a simple gameplay perspective and the same thing goes with the others (7 Days to Die). It just wants you to survive, nothing more.
You have to go into data settings to see the real preload. It won't show its real status on that screen.

Man, having to wait for about a day and a half longer for this to come out in Australia while everyone else plays it is gonna kill me.
Ha, that does sound awesome. Have fun, dude!
So back to my original point, how is banning those guys fantastic news? It's pretty much the opposite of that.
rip in peace

Twitch has deals with companies for embargo stuff. Review copies or not, anyone that has the game now either has it via Bethesda, or otherwise everything else is broken street dates/pirate copies.

I never said it's fantastic news.The guy you quoted said that. I explained the reason for them to be banned
Then don't quote me

Have you never preordered a PC game before?
Yeah, I got it. The 4GB download has already finished, it's just doing the background download thing now.

Yeah, the guys I was watching last night were all employees at gamestop, etc. Bethesda doesn't want the people who will be selling this game to cust to be advertising it early....in case they don't like it, I guess.
That said, what I saw was fantastic. This is RE4 on nextgen hardware. I watched about 2 hours of the first 3 chapters and was blown away at the atmosphere, level design and monsters. Really creepy and very RE4ish.

Looks like we won't get an early release on PC: https://twitter.com/DCDeacon/status/521669598236528640
Shame, Sega unlocked Alien: Isolation as soon as they saw console copies out in the street.

Yeah, I'll be really happy once embargo is over so I can talk about my time with the game on here more. Glad to know you enjoyed what you saw.

Err, no. Everything about the game felt like playing Resident Evil from a first-person perspective. Having to look at the WiiU screen for your inventory (game didn't pause when looking through the inventory) gave it a somewhat higher level of tension if you were not already prepared ahead of time. The main issue with the game was the reliance on the dreadfully boring cricket bat if you were wanting to conserve ammo. It was functional, but good lord was it unimpressive to swing, and you had to swing it a lot.

I hate how Steam has to wait to update in the evening for games to unlock instead of having it unlock right at midnight
No never in my life. Altough I ressurrect in various bodies, there's 12 of us.
THE GAME IS DONE, ENOUGH WITH THE OBSOLETE BS ABOUT RELEASING GAMES ON A TUESDAY/FRIDAY, RELEASE DIGITAL MEDIA WHEN CODE IS READY, PERDIOD.
STEAM have done a lot for PC, but the days when you could just buy a game and play it was better. STEAM is an evil DRM when it comes to release dates.

Really glad I pre-ordered this to jump in day 1 now. Seems like a proper horror game with the usual spoonful of jank that comes with it
I mean the SH/old RE games are classics, but any sort of tank controls these days and you'd be scoring a 6-8. I don't mind if the gameplay/presentation lets this game down a little, as long as the content is good. Wanting to play a more action focused horror game anyway, like a Silent Hill, as opposed to running/hiding (Alien/Outlast).

It's not really Steam's call when to release the games. It's the publishers.
Northeastmonk

Sure, but the publishers should let everyone game when their coded is uploaded to steam/digital service
Sanctuary
Member
Yes, but that was entirely secondary just like it has been with practically every game since the first Resident Evil.

That's the point. Calling Steam an EVIL DRM is off-base when it's not really their call.
Steam is DRM when the product is forced to use STEAM otherwise no playing.
If this game didn't have STEAM, you could get the game from the store and play instantly
Steam and Valve have nothing to do with release dates. The publishers and developers push the release through the registry themselves.
Many games can be downloaded and run without the client entirely.

So far this game seems to be getting good reviews. Only 24 more hours baby!

Character development helped. I don't know about everyone else, but the characters were always somewhere doing something. Their arrival was always a surprise to me. I always pictured one character doing this and that during each game. Which made RE that much more enjoyable.
Then the publishers should let everyone game when code is uploaded and let everyone else wait for physical media to arrrive (tuesday/friday)
All the recent games i've purchased have been steam only, as in you're required to use steam to play the game (unlock) even if I have the physical media in front of me.
The Evil Within, if I buy the game in the store right now, I can't play until tomorrow because it's required by steam.
That's not the case with consoles.
I have the Retail version delivered to my door just a few hours ago. Have a soundtrack, fancy artwork, whopping 4 DVDs to install and all my keys in front of me.
Thing is .. even though i have basically everything here, upon installation i get a warning "This game is not officially released yet and therefore cannot be unlocked".
Are you guys serious? Might aswell could have delivered tommorow then. Stop the teasing already. You got my money, so let me enjoy.

Is this up for preload?
