    To make up for the delay, the devs will be making 'be the zombie' mode FREE for everyone. This Mode should have been included in the full game from the start.

    good few games up on twitch, apparently the game can be beaten in less then 3 hours
    maybe thats running straight through the story without side missions, but still quite short, hopefully its a decent story though

    Defo think I'll have to wait for the disc. Just worked out that if the game is 40GB to download, then it would take 12 hours with my little 8Mb connection. Bloody hell. :mad:

    Surprised nobody as mentioned VG+ yet cost you €50 + around 7 postage and will take around 10-14 days to get here, still 2 weeks before the EU release. Pure madness that you can import quicker , would have been cheaper had the Euro not taken a dive :mad:

    Edit: an FYI gamestop won't take these for trade in's but XV/Hmv/CEX will if it matters to you.

    A worrying sign. It doesn't always spell disaster but if you are confident and proud of your game, you figure good reviews can only help.

    If you are hiding it away from the press, it doesn't exactly ooze confidence, does it? Very much a wait and see purchase.

    My thoughts aswell. Sometimes we also see some reviews allowed but only ones that look favorably on the game. All publishers have to do is threaten court cases and reviewers fall into line.

    My understanding was that there is no embargo, they just haven't sent out review copies of the game yet (although some youtubers have it). Which is pretty much the same thing haha

    Is the physical copy delay down to a distribution issue? If so that is a major major f**k up. Unbelievable.

    Alot of high profile youtubers have been given copies of the game to play with permission to upload content. Which I would think the review embargo doesn't make any sense nor should it make people wary if you can go onto youtube now and see various amounts of videos of actual gameplay.

    I usually never pre-order games as I've been stung in the past (as have most) but this is easily the one game I've been looking forward most to this year so I pre-ordered it during the PlayStation discount weekend. Had a look last night and game has been fully downloaded to my machine and will unlock a few minutes after I get home from work :D

    I was worried about the fairly negative things that are coming out about it but after hearing other people peoples opinions of the games on reddit who've actually played it, my excitement has been restored. Roll only 9 hours :(

    Your better off. Gives you plenty of time to make an informed decision instead of pre ordering and getting stung for something that looks mediocre at best from what I have watched so far but again will judge as I weigh up opinions and reviews from others first

    Very odd that game sites only got the review copy today, doesn't fill me with confidence in the game. Will wait and see.

    Not a good sign.

    And I don't trust "high profile youtubers" either. Sure they can be paid off to say whatever.

    (Wasn't the Middle Earth Shadow of Morder release the same? Paid Youtubers talking up the nemesis system, etc. Except that game turned out pretty great in fairness.)

    True enough in the case of Shadows of Mordor turning out to be rather good, but in this case, it could just as easily be the other way round. Best to take a wait and see approach imho.

    Yeah, same here, for the price, you can't go to wrong. At the same time, I would be worried that they would revoke the game license, once they fix the mistake, and you just end up with a season pass and no game.

    Playing offline is actually a good idea to overcome the issue. Just out of interest, if you go to the full game on the store, does it show as purchased for you?

    I've played the first hour, so here's a few impressions.

    Since it's essentially a tangent from Dead Island, comparisons with that are warranted.

    The tone has changed, it's much less about action/violence. No more damage numbers when you twat a zombie with a pipe. There's much more emphasis on escape/evade, though that's pretty much as advertised.

    The story seems a little deeper, since there's at least more of a subplot than just escape zombies too.

    The first hour is barely the prologue, so it's too early for a conclusion, but it seems promising so far, but then I always like the Dead Island series.
