That'd be interesting. Mainly because of the history of the game with Nintendo and the 3DS version.

This might be a possible Wii U tease

it doesn't but you can see they are playing the game off one.
I will buy this on every platform I own. Needs to happen!
You mean today?!

I think EU players have to wait for tomorrow for the PS Store update (but probably not the Steam update)

Amazing OT. Can't wait to play this on my Vita. Might even have to double dip for the Steam version. BoI:Rebirth hype is too strong.
I think Northernlion is going to do an early stream as well. Ideal for people who are not into Bisnap's super in-depth play and just want to see the biggest scumlord on the planet go through the game.
Makes sense.

I almost bought it due to the loyalty discount on Steam but I'll get it on PS+ free anyway (and PS4 is a perfect option for me), but I'll probably pick it up when it's on sale some time just to "collect" it next to my Steam copy of BOI
Also, if you're okay with item spoilers, I suspect Platinum God will be rapidly updating as people discover things. Not too many surprises right now, but once the game unlocks, expect that to start filling up.
I'm just glad this game released on PC day one. Edmund and Nicalis were trolling us early on as a Playstation exclusive and I was starting to get a bit salty.

Bought it like a week or two ago, kind of bitter that it releases on a day where I'm in class for 12 hours.

For late deciders/buyers like me; the discount is still active for a few hours.
How many hours before it goes live? I'm itching here.

It should be live on Steam in about 2 hours and 45 minutes.

I have to wait until after work to play. I'm going to avoid this thread for fear of spoiler pics like the ones higher up on this page.
If you're watching the stream, please spoiler tag your stuff.

That's how I'm feeling... it looks very smooth and I'm looking forward to it, but why spoil more surprises right now.
Eh, It'll unlock in 3 hours. I can wait

Looks really good on Twitch. Nice and smooth.

Looks smooth as butter and damn fun. Watched 15 minutes of NorthernLions stream to get hype but now I'm bowing out so I don't get spoiled - half the fun is finding new item combos and secrets. In a few weeks once I start running against a wall I'll consult Platinum God or w/e but until then it's more fun to fly blind.

Never played this before and when it was announced for PS+ I immediately dismissed it. However the OT got me interested in at least trying it.
Based on the first gif though, it looks really hard :/

God, I am so ready. I watched 10 seconds of Cobalt's stream then quit. Don't want to spoil myself too much.

Marketing. Reviewers generally get early copies of games anyway, even indie games. Almost all games are "done" well in advance (weeks, a month, possibly more) of release date. Gotta give time for reviewers to play it, get marketing promos ready if applicable, time your release window and now, the final stretch, wait for your distribution channels to update (I don't know if Steam has flexible go-live times, but PSN sure doesn't)
Yeah maybe, I think it's weird. Not seeing any benefit other than that (for the youtubers or the watchers) for this game really.

Dunno about the others, but tons of people watch Northernlion, he's probably a better ad for Rebirth than any reasonable marketing spend could ever be. And he legitimately loves the game, all you gotta do to get that 'marketing" is toss him a free key and allow him to play/stream it early. That's why YT/Streamer relationships are important in indie.
That's true, but it's just a few hours until release...
Everyone can play/stream then. Why not unlock it now.
It's because it's not going to officially be released until its up on PSN. I think they made a deal with Sony. So once the PSN update is pushed then it'll be unlocked.
It's probably a little bit of both. Get some pre-release hype going and adhere to their contract with Sony.
Steam does allow developers to push the game at any time through the registry. It's actually a myth that Valve requires games to release update at 10 AM Pacific, that just seems to be the default unlock time shown on the page if developers don't configure it correctly.
