What is the game’s native resolution?
Transistor runs at 1080p on both the PlayStation 4 and PC. The PC version also contains 720p assets for compatibility with less powerful systems.

Will there be a stand-alone DRM-free version of Transistor for PC?
We have no plans for a stand-alone installer for Transistor at this time. The Steam version of the game includes various features that require Steam, such as cloud saves, achievements, and trading cards, and for launch we did not want to create a separate version lacking these features. Note we have put no DRM in Transistor unless you count Steam as a form of DRM. Once you’ve downloaded the game from Steam, you don’t need Steam to be running in order to play.

Transistor is a sci-fi themed action RPG that invites players to wield an extraordinary weapon of unknown origin as they fight through a stunning futuristic city. The game seamlessly integrates thoughtful strategic planning into a fast-paced action experience, melding responsive gameplay and rich atmospheric storytelling. During the course of the adventure, players will piece together the Transistor’s mysteries as they pursue its former owners.

Good job LiK. Now I just need a giant Greg Kasavin's poster in my room, so that I can look at it at night....

 

[ErrorMacro]

I just started playing bastion for the first time, and it's a great game! I'm really looking forward to transistor now. The art style is amazing!

 

[Moral Panic]

Looks good. Will buy.

 

[Ryne]

[Kyoufu]

Pre-ordered and waiting. Standby for Transistor!

 

[Liha]

The last question: PC or PS4

 

[Guymelef]

Can't wait.

 

[wetflame]

Enjoyed Bastion so will probably pick this up when the price is right. Or immediately.

 

[Sendou]

Any idea when embargo drops?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Nice to finally see this coming.

 

[krypt0nian]

Preordered and living for this!

 

[OneUh8]

Man I can't wait! Preordered this on the PS4. Is it odd that the thing I am most looking forward to is the soundtrack?

 

[fluffydelusions]

Any deals out there for this game (PC)?

 

[Goodacre0081]

how does the PS+ discount work for this if we pre-order?

 

[Corto]

Steam for now PS4 latter in the year when I get one. Lovely OT Lik. Great job!

 

[Sendou]

how does the PS+ discount work for this if we pre-order?

There won't be one.

 

[Dragon]

how does the PS+ discount work for this if we pre-order?

There isn't one.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I guess the days of $15 dollar games are getting phased out, huh?

Either way, this game looks awesome and I will Day One it easily. I think I will go with PS4 version because while I have a PC, my PS4 library needs more games. Also, the PC version will probably be sold for 5 bucks in like 4 months.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

this is coming out next week? whoa, so soon. i'm there day one.

 

[Messiek]

I'm going to preorder this on my ps4.
It looks so good and fun to play.
1 Week : )

 

[Slowdive]

Great OT. Can't wait to play this.

 

[Seanspeed]

I would actually get this Day 1 if it weren't for me being pretty entrenched in a few games as it is. We'll see. Maybe in a few weeks.

 

[Qvoth]

super excited for this

 

[derExperte]

There won't be one.

No discount on Steam either which is a bummer, I'm sure it would push more people to buy it right away. And what's with the Soundtrack costing 10€ more?

 

[kudoboi]

Any deals out there for this game (PC)?

none as far as i know unless you count buying from traders which is slightly cheaper. the devs were smart to not put this game on GMG because we would be able to use the 25% or 20% discount

anyways cannot wait for this game on PC. might buy it alongside wolfenstein

Don't want to derail too much but I thought they originally announced a vita version too...was that cancelled?

AFAIK they never said it was ever coming to vita. but they didn't rule it out as a platform

 

[AEREC]

Don't want to derail too much but I thought they originally announced a vita version too...was that cancelled?

 

[Virdix]

I have Tuesday off, The Kid has spoken.

 

[Sendou]

No discount on Steam either which is a bummer, I'm sure it would push more people to buy it right away.

I'm thinking they are pretty confident that the reputation they got from Bastion will carry them far.

 

[Gintoki]

Nice OT. Preordered the game yesterday, can't wait

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Woah I totally forgot about this game, shame on me. Day 1!

 

[kubus]

Awesome OT! Looks nice on mobile as well. Looking forward to this game.

[Sum-Mischief]

Already pre-ordered ... I feel in love with the game play soon as I saw it.

 

[Acquiescence]

Still waiting to hear the full-length version of that trailer song.

 

[astonish]

Grabbing this Day 1, just haven't figured out which platform...

 

[Jb]

I've purposefully stayed away from most media about this game, I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised by the experience when it actually comes out.

 

[Phatmac]

I loved Bastion so much so I hope this is good! Can't wait to play this.

 

[qizah]

I can't wait. Bastion was awesome, going to pick this up on my PS4, with remote play on Vita I'm pretty excited.

 

[Canis lupus]

Don't want to derail too much but I thought they originally announced a vita version too...was that cancelled?

they didnt announce a vita version

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Requirements list 1GB of vram but then say 9400gt?

Is that right?

 

[MrFrankFontaine]

Bastion has been sitting in my backlog for too long. Really need to play that one first.
