Hmmmmmm, might have to pick this up. TBH I seem to grab much more indie games than big budget blockbusters nowadays. PC Gaming FTW!
His work on Homeworld is really great. The samples I have heard so far seem to indicate his presences make's a great fit for this one.
My joystick may still be in transfer, my key still may still be lost somewhere in the depths of the GOG network, my graphics card may be showing signs of overheating, but my 360 controller as well as addictional battery packs are charged, ample supplies of softdrinks and snacks have been lovingly arranged within reach, and nobody besides the postman will be able to bother me today.
I am ready. And envious.
You bastards better make the best of this headstart.

And playing PoE to tide me over.

No headstart here. You unlock from GMG then add it on steam only to be told that there's, as of this writing, 15 hours remaining till it unlocks - and you can't even pre-load.
Maybe it's some greenlight games thing, but it's pretty shitty that we can't even pre-load it - plus are stuck waiting until like 1 pm tomorrow.

Looks good. Interested.
But it can't be x Macross because it doesn't have shitty pop songs!

You leave Minmay out of this.

Did it disappear from the "coming soon" list on steam for anyone else? I had to do a store search to find it.
Edit: Issue has been resolved.

So what time does this unlock? 1stStrike said 1PM, but what time zone is that?

According to the kickstarter email:
Assuming Steam Key gets sent when game goes live.

Thanks.
I'm completely crestfallen that I couldn't back the game at any level. Even more crestfallen that I couldn't back the one music tier I really wanted (I love Ruskay's music).
I still can't justify spending any money on it, as desperate as I am to give the game a go. For the next two months, it's nothing but groceries and gas. :|

Pre-ordered. Got it for $12 from GMG with the 25% off voucher and $3 credit.
1 day to go!

I was initially an huge supporter of this game. But the more I saw it, the more bland it got. Eventually I opted out of the Kickstarter.
Like one of the reviews mentioned: the missions got slightly repetitive.
I hope this sells well so they can work out the kinks and make a sequel for it.

I didn't like the Kickstarter enough to back it, but I bought it a couple days ago.

Well, the best way to ensure that it sells well is to tell people that it's bland and repetitive.
Yea I hear ya. I might grab it during a Steam sale.

It's really not that hard.
Besides, there are supposedly going to be some balance tweaks between the press version and the one that's going to become available tomorrow.

I keep hearing that the transforming aspect is not gimmicky and an integral part of the gameplay, but in space you should be able to turn on a dime with the right placement of thrusters without needing to transform into a humanoid bot. From what I've seen of the combat/dogfighting it seems really old school (Wing Com/Star Wars), but I liked it enough to buy it. Just wish it simulated space combat better with stuff like momentum compensation with thrust vectoring in zero gravity, even if it's just visually.

I do, and it's an easy one. Simply hit F11. We call this 'hardcore mode' internally -- but essentially it's just a way to make the game look super-pretty.

9 hours to go....

The wait is killin' me here :lol
Within hours of each other Strike Suit Zero is unlocking on Steam, The Cave is unlocking on Steam and Path of Exile is going into open beta. It's going to be harsh on my free time.
Awesome. If it was a configurable key I'd probably put it on F11
Also, Ni no Kuni released yesterday. Confluence!

Does anyone know where I can listen to what I presume is the main theme from the game?

psyched for this
It's funny you say that, as the music actually reminded me of Macross. Macross Plus to be exact.
I'm buying this based on Okubo being a part of the project alone.
The one thing that is giving me pause is that the performance doesn't look that great to me. I don't know if it's just the youtube effect but the framerate looks dodgy to me. Is this the case for anyone that's actually played it on a decent system? I'm on an i7 with a 680gtx.

None of us have played it yet. The retail version won't be unlocked till 1 pm EST on Steam.
I kickstarted also, and pretty bumbed that reviewers got to play it well before me.
While I'm personally not put off by difficulty, I do hate lack luster check point systems. If I die on something after I've spent 20 - 30 minutes fighting my way through a level and it brings me all the way back to the checkpoint and I lose all of that progress, I will be annoyed. I hate losing progress. Two or three times of that and I'm probably going to put the game down and not return to it.
The fact that it has checkpoints at all puts it ahead of pretty much every single space sim ever.

20 times?!
Might be time to hang it up, Mr. EG reviewer.
Although...I have been hit by end-of-mission crashes to desktop. Not fun at all.
EDIT: After receiving the strike suit I failed the mission once. I guess the idea was to show off the power of the suit, but the timing is a bit off, because the player isn't all that familiar with how it controls.
Its at this point that the enemy unloads with the torpedoes, and you gotta be johnny-on-the-spot to take at least most of them out in order to survive.
But I still stick by the old stand-by: If I can do it, almost anyone can do it. I went into SSZ with absolutely zero space-combat experience and was able to beat it.

Dunno, I just watched the giantbomb quicklook and the suit seemed incredibly underwhelming from what I saw there. Plus, they failed the first strike suit mission 3 times in just the quick look because they had no idea where the objectives were, so I wouldn't say that the Eurogamer review is completely invalid. Harsh, probably, but it's an issue that others have experienced too.
