That was happening for me as well. On a hunch, I went to my news feed and clicked on one of the ads for Transistor (or Playstation Store alerts, or whatever). Then it worked.

Looking forward to hearing about the results!
If it doesn't have support for my resolution on PC I'll just buy it for PS4 I suppose.
They should really do something with the PS4 PSN preorder system, it's super confusing.
It was the same with Infamous Second Son.
My review is here. I go into a fair bit of detail on the mechanics as Supergiant was fairly quiet about that before release. So a lot of explanation in addition to personal opinion.

(Dont pay too much attention to the number, it's more an obligation than anything.)
I really liked the skill system. There are numerous ways you can allocate your Functions to create viable builds. As I love tinkering and customizing and trying new things, this really sat well with me. I was slightly disappointed that the game mostly travels along a straight line, and the challenge rooms weren't all that challenging. But that doesn't take away from how fun playing around with Functions can be. Or the great visual presentation values.
As for pace, the game is more methodical than speedy. Especially if you are using many limiters, you can't just fly into a combat zone and hope to succeed easily. Requires some planning and patience, although things can certainly get hectic too. I wouldn't say it's too sluggish or anything.

Woops nvm
Did you find yourself playing it more as an action RPG or Tactical RPG?
I'm reading your review right now so apologies if that is covered, but that question is oddly specific.
Same. And it's going uber-fast for my limited connection. If you wanna get it before it starts getting flooded, go now.

Refuses to play amazing game because of arbitrary resolution snobbery.
The PC Master race are the worst.

This looks like a PS4 purchase then.
Thanks for digging into it.

Cool. The PC version supports the DS4 button prompts and light bar!
That's pretty cool.
Search for the game. The preorder page is separate.
It really is a combination of both. I found myself 'pulling' enemies away from groups to pick them off - or using cover as I kited enemies trying to mitigate damage. But sometimes when you get a little overwhelmed by numbers you have no choice but to move and react quickly in dodging attacks and getting hits in when you can. But even still you can use Turn() to try and survive, which is entirely tactical in nature as everything stops until you either cancel or execute your sequence.
Did that. Still only gives me the pre-order option.

Like I said if the assets were painted in 1080p you can't play it at higher resolutions without blurring it out.
And don't expect a patch as this would require the assets to be repainted in higher resolutions which is obviously not going to happen
and I say if Rayman Origins can do it, Transistor can too. (pretty sure their art assets were fixed resolution as well)
That game looked amazing.
Regardless, I'll buy this on PS4 instead of PC because I do want to play it.

Bastion is playable at higher resolutions than 720p. It even works at 2560x1600 even though it's clear the game wasn't designed with it in mind.
It's not that. It's either play it stretched and ugly or play it in a window. Had I known, I'd have just got it on my PS4 which is hooked up to a native 1080p display.

It did the same thing to me but hit okay on the preorder page and once you purchase it you'll be able to download it to your PS4.
If anyone has it preordered and wants to download it now go to the preorder page and add it to your cart again. It'll show as $0 and let you proceed to checkout and the download page.
For the millionth time, thank god for remote downloading. Although it's funny how I so love being able to download the game on release day while I'm at work, and yet when I get home I normally do other stuff for an hour or two. I generally would have had enough time before I'm ready to play had I simply started the download when I got home even for larger games... but still.

Afaik, Rayman Origins art assets have a obscenely high original resolution.
Remote play son!
Why would it be stretched? There are plenty of games that are only rendered in 16:9 that put black bars on my 16:10 display. I can't remember the last one that didn't do it itself, and if that was the case my GPU can do it. And if my GPU couldn't do it, my monitor could.
Thanks.
EDIT: Keep getting the "there's been an error with your order" message. Looks like I'll have to wait.
TVs generally have good upscalers and you are sitting further away.
Playing on a monitor below native resolution is horrible.
This is a first.
