TSA: "Whilst technically there’s no risk in waiting to buy a digital game when it comes out, SCEE have added a feature to the PSN Store today that allows users to “pre-order” a download.
Sorcery is the first game to offer this functionality – you can pay for the game now, download it, and then next week it’ll just magically (pun intended) unlock, letting you play the game."
"The Poland-based video game publisher No Gravity Games and the UK-based indie games developer inkle, are today very excited and happy to announce that they have just joined forces to release the legendary narrative adventure game series "Sorcery!" (part 1 to 4) to the Nintendo Switch in Q3 this year (2021)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
This week Gaming Steve gives you the latest gaming news. Reporting on the Sony Neo, tons of Blizzard news, and DLC released two years late.
Wesley at Skewed and Reviewed took a look at the new version of Steve Jackson's beloved classic and found it to be a fun although at times lacking game. He did love enough of it to say that it is worth checking out for fans of the series.
hmm not sure if i should need to try a demo if there one coming?
Pre-ordering digital titles is pointless, they don't have to guarantee physical stock for launch. It's just a way of getting people to pay for a game long before they actually get anything to play with. There's no real incentive to do it, besides silly pre-order DLC. Sure you can pre-load, but most PSN games are small. I find it to be a useless feature on Steam that's bitten me once or twice, particularly with RAGE (pre-ordered, pre-loaded, found out game was awful 4 days before release, couldn't cancel in time).
It wont work unless they start practicing Steam prices. Who will pre-order a game digitally for 60 or 70 bucks?
For only digital games this seems great. Since the downloading has already happened there's no need to wait around on launch day.
Great feature for us PS+ members with auto-download.
Makes the games ready to play, come release-day. :)
