The God of War Ragnarok preload has kicked off today for those buying the digital version o the game.

Good move considering the size of this game, especially for people with weaker internet speed

jznrpg910d ago

I live out of the cities in between 2 towns but about 20 minutes away from each and for some reason I have amazing Internet .

myfathersbastard910d ago

Internet companies are weird. My brother lives on one street, has full high speed internet. Litteraly go down the road 300ft, turn left onto the next road and my cousins house still had dial up. Been that way for 10+ years. If you call and ask the service providers they either say “we’re planning on installing high speed there in the next year” and they’ve been saying that for litteraly 15 years. OR, they say they have no immediate plans because there’s not enough of a market. Which also makes no sense because there’s a few hundred people down that road.
For reference, both houses are about the same, about 15 minute drive outside of the city.

SullysCigar910d ago

Good move for sure, but sheer torture to look at it sat there for the next week, knowing you can't yet play it!

H9909d ago

I get you, I think this whole thing is more aimed at people who need those 9 days just to download the damn thing

myfathersbastard910d ago (Edited 910d ago )

In New Zealand. I assume it’ll start in North American regions around 9-12pm. Although I read somewhere it will start 4 days before launch. So possibly Friday or Saturday? Guess we’ll see.

Nitrowolf2910d ago (Edited 910d ago )

4 days is today games out Friday

myfathersbastard910d ago

No, release date is November 9th. That’s still 7 days away. 8 if you include today.

Nitrowolf2910d ago

@myfatherbasterd

IDK why i thought today was the 5th lol

myfathersbastard910d ago

It happens lol that sucks though. Thought it came out in 4 days and realize it’s double that haha

jznrpg910d ago (Edited 910d ago )

Dope.
OTI just started Star Ocean and really loving it so far . It’s really good with Japanese voices imo.
On topic I’ll play GoW and Star Ocean for the next couple months at least .

Metalane910d ago

If I buy it only a few hours before midnight, will it still count as a pre-order, and could I still pre-download it?

myfathersbastard909d ago

Technically. If you 100% are getting it I’d just buy it and have it done though. Either way, just make sure it’s midnight your time. I’m on the west coast so the game unlocks at 9pm Tuesday night for me.

Crows90909d ago

Cant wait to play this. Gonna need to practice lots of self restraint. I cant afford the $70 new games.

FernDiggidy909d ago

Damn that sucks bro :'( . Hopefully you wont need to wait too too long

Crows90909d ago

Yeah. So I have accumulated around 450 GameStop credit so I can purchase it with that but if i buy games full price I'll run out if that quick. I'm always looking to pay less than full price for games I want to play early as possible. If it drops to $40-50 I'll be going ahead with a purchase most likely...unless I'm already playing something else.

well... its not quite what I was expecting but still nice they honor the spartan.

VenomUK45d ago

What an absolute half-hearted and shoddy way for Sony to commemorate the epic God of War series. A few alternative skins and the option to buy t-shirts or vinyl. It would have been better to not have any celebration. Abysmal.

No offense Sony… but nobody is playing God of war ragnarok in 2025…

andy8546d ago

Every month in 2025 God of War Ragnarok has had more steam users than Starfield.

Inverno45d ago

Bruv I'm pretty there are more people playing literally anything BUT Starfield.

Profchaos45d ago

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if there was more people playing bubsy 3d than starfield

Profchaos45d ago

Yeah no one at all especially when it just became available to the millions of PS plus subscribers

PanicMechanic45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Maybe it’s because I sold my Ps5 last year and built a new PC. But ragnarok I finished in 2022 when it released. Don’t have any motivation to replay.

Profchaos45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

It would have been nice to have a PS plus drop of the ps2 original though I get that

Cacabunga45d ago

I actually installed it again today to try the latest roguelite DLC. Costumes is a nice addition but def expected something else.

Killer2020UK45d ago

Mate, I only started playing the previous one. It holds up unbelievably well considering it was a PS4 release

Chard45d ago

Not everybody buys and plays games during the launch window

BISHOP-BRASIL45d ago

I just finished it last week. You don't speak for everyone.

Damn Sony
You keep on remastering recent games and yet choose not to for a franchise that's celebrating it's 20 years?
I'm sure a lot of old and new fans would appreciate being able to play the entire saga using their current gen consoles.

Shane Kim45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Sure but that would require to actually remaster. Not selling the same game from last gen in a new box and call it remaster.

Profchaos45d ago

I admit I got a bit swept up in thinking we would get a PS classics drop of the first game on PS plus not a remaster or anything just running under the new ps2 emulator id be.halpy with that or the PSP games that deserve more praise really
