here's mine: http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/20/5734090/transistor-review
it's a slow burner, but ultimately a great one.

Anyone else torn on PC vs PS4? Deciding where to get it...
Game is technically out in a few hours for NA. Not sure why you need preload.
Yeah....kind of want to break in the ps4 a little bit.
Would suggest PS4, because of the speaker in the controller, and the cool stuff it does with the light bar.
Note: the ps4 speaker is off by default, switch it on in the menus.
If you have a Vita this seems like an awesome Remote Play game.

we operate completely separately from polygon and have no shared editorial. we're selective we cover what we think makes sense for us, and our distinct audience.
think of it like conde nast owning a bunch of magazines that occasionally overlap. they're not going to tell wired, the new yorker, and ars technica to avoid each other.
So I highly disagree that the skill system is complicated. There's a lot you can do with it, but it's not at all difficult to understand. It is easily the highlight of the gameplay. If you love to tinker and try out new combinations of skills set ups, from active abilities to passive boosts, Transistor is for you.
Gameplay isn't exceptionally fast, it's more methodical in nature, requiring planning moreso that fast reflexes. I don't mean that as a slight, just don't except anything like...Ys Origin for example.

Looks like my trust in Supergiant Games was well placed.
Cannot wait to play this.

Narrator voice comes out of the Dualshock's speaker, and the light bar will be attuned to it as well, if that interests you.
I wouldn't really say a couple of gimmicks would place it as the definitive version.
In reality, it's a toss up.
You can run the game at higher resolution frame rate on PC, infinite backwards compatibility, in home streaming.
PS4 has 1080p/60, Vita Streaming.
Yes, but I think I'm going to get it on PS4. Today is the day I really curse GCT, leggo.

Didn't say that, just saying that it's a nice feature that I enjoyed. The light bar syncing up with the narrator's voice is pretty cool.

Giant Bomb Quick Look is up if you want to be spoiled.

Eurogamer says the game is around 5 hours, but I think I remember a blog post by Super Giant stating something about a significant amount of content hidden in NG+, right?

Any differences between PC and PS4 versions?
My now non-cached (combat section updated) review: http://www.gamereactor.eu/reviews/123374/Transistor/ [8/10]
Looks like I'm on the low-end in terms of scores, but I really enjoyed it. Not sure everyone will appreciate the lack of main menu and no option for managing saves, that said even as the game crashed on me the autosave loaded without issue when I restarted it.

How long of a game is it?
I only played the PS4 version. I'd venture a guess that combat is a little more exact with mouse, but you won't get the wonderful use of the DS4 lightbar on PC.
My last two posts could have been answered by the magic of the scroll wheel.
But 5 hours.

We turn that off through drivers to save on battery life lol.

Anyone know when this is expected to drop on the PS store? Maybe like everything else near 3pm est?
Not entirely sure - played it over two days, but around 6 hours sounds right. It's a game designed for multiple playthroughs though.
+/- an hour but I believe that is about right.
It's actually kind of nice. Sure it's a gimmick, but helped immersion in my opinion.
The other advantage of the PC version is you can play it now, rather than later in the day.
I think you guys sound crazy with this stuff. Low-audio quality speaker and lightbar 'helps with immersion.'
How are you even looking at the lightbar while playing? Why wouldn't you want the awesome narration that Supergiant is known for piped through some excellent headphones?
I haven't personally experienced this so my opinion carries less weight, but I just can't take you guys seriously.

So lame. Has Sony ever explained why it takes so long for them to update the store compared to Xbox Live and Steam?

Can anyone confirm what the resolution goes up to? Bastion was gimped to 1920*1200.
Soony.

Steam is set by the developers. They let Valve know what time they want the game to unlock, then push that through the registry.
- Changed releasestate released
No idea about Xbox Live
1200p > 1080p and that is a 16:10 resolution. I'm thinking you mean less than that.
It is 1080p/60 on PS4, and arbitrary resolution support for PC, IE 1080/4K/8K
