looks like may or late april

NOT from the devs (they've STILL not gotten back to me with their interview answers), but rather we were invited to an event in vegas in april that's got pre-release hands on time with the game. based on the date and the way these things work, i'd wager release 3-6 weeks thereafter

Ah Jaysus wept! I hope its not that long.

Sephiroth_dude · 20-02-2014 12:23pm

I think I'm gonna get this

Kiith · 20-02-2014 1:33pm

Looks like it's PS3 in that case. Don't think i can wait that long for it to be released on the pc, especially with everyone talking about it. I just hope they don't come along in 6 months and complain about the pc sales. Of course sales will suffer with a game like this if you wait up to 2 after the console release.

I'd imagine they are worried about the mass piracy if they released on the PC at the same time. At least they will make there money initially, as many who would (and may have pirated) for the PC, will buy for the PS3 and Xbox 360 instead.

They'll make way more money by delaying the PC version. It would be stupid for them to release them at the same tme really. 4-6 weeks is pretty much an optimal delay for them from a business perspective.

Was that Nito at the 0:10 mark

Retr0gamer · 20-02-2014 3:26pm

There's a lot of Dark Souls 1 in the trailer so don't take it as Nito making a return.

Stupid advertisements mocking me with their sold-out Black Armour editions.

penev10 · 20-02-2014 8:15pm

Looks like its back fro pre-order on Amazon:

PS3, no Xbox

EDIT: Gone again!

ShadowHearth · 20-02-2014 8:27pm

Really annoyed that pc version is delayed. No next gen version too.

I don't want to buy it for ps3 and then buying it again on pc.... I will be playing with 360 pad on 42inch TV pc version in a recliner chair. Ps3 is in bedroom and I cannot be ****ed bringing it to my mancave everytime i got a craving for dark souls.

calex71 · 20-02-2014 11:23pm

I hesitate to suggest it due to the horrific delivery times, but wow hd have black armour editions ...... you will be waiting on it though. 10-14 days after release for it to arrive.

ShadowHearth · 20-02-2014 11:38pm

Why people are aftr that black edition? it is only hard case and soundtrack?

Posted the exact same response a page or so ago :P

YouSavedMyLife · 21-02-2014 2:24am

I liked the artwork book from Demon's and Dark souls. Would probably buy if it included that but i think they are selling a massive hardback artwork book separately. Might get it if i have the cash lying around

noodler · 21-02-2014 10:37am

Ok, just got an order in an Amazon for the Black Armour on PS3.

Still showing as 'in stock' (well you know what I mean) at he moment.

EDIT: Its also 3 pounds cheaper than the Vanilla version..

ShaneU · 21-02-2014 10:40am

What, it's out of stock again.

Literally a minute or two after I get my order in!

I hope they stick to it!

I am not going to get it until the 18th or possibly 19th anyway so thats a bit of a pain in the ass.

I really wanted it for the 14th.

Kiith · 21-02-2014 10:55am

If i pre-order it on PSN, it will pre-load won't it? Might just do it that way and play it immediately at launch. You also get the extra weapons there, not that i really want them.

If it does or if it doesn't pre-load, just hook your ps3 up with a wired connection and it'll be done in an hour.

I downloaded the Last of Us in the summer and on wireless it looked like it was going to take 7 hours.

Cancelled, plugged in the ethernet cable, and it was done in just over an hour. Defo worth, imo, to temporarily go wired for the big downloads.

I can't bring myself to pay 60 euro for a digital copy even if I would have it from day 1, when I can get the nice ediiton for 45 a few days later.

Kiith · 21-02-2014 11:11am

Yeah, if i can just pick up the standard edition in store i might just do that. Already asked for the Friday off, and there's a Gamestop near enough to me. Will see over the next few days.

I'll be ringing Gamestop as well.

I'll buy a second Armoured Edition if one somehow becomes available there.

I'm only downloading the game and theme, the weapons download I have disabled.

I don't mind, I get to do some jolly co-operation with my son on his PS3.
It's also a game I have no interest in trading in.

Ah cool, glad that's an option as i don't want any advantage when starting off. At least not on my first playthrough.

Last place I expected a Pixies song to be use:

I really hope all these lovely looking cut scenes are actually in the game.

gone again, seriously they're just trolling us now :pac:

really should have pre-ordered it, hope my local hmv and xtravision get some, tends to be a place people dont pre-order much

Retr0gamer · 21-02-2014 2:39pm

I'd like to get the collectors edition but without that figurine. I just don't get special editions with them. Where am I going to put it, in my room watching over me and protecting me from ever getting laid again?

Mickeroo · 21-02-2014 2:40pm

Are WowHD fairly reliable? I haven't used them since they were still called CDWow. It's only 43.99 on there. I'm kinda tempted since it's the same price for the standard edition.
