Are we going to see the route, preferably base console versions to see what performance we can expect? Especially as the majority of players still have base consoles
Based on how they showed us gameplay of TSW 2 about a month before release, I’ll say no. There’ll probably be a trailer and a release day stream but no gameplay. Who knows, they might surprise us.
Monday night would be perfect but you could well be right especially as it’s not a first party product and if there are visible frame rate/other issues, hopefully Rivet have nailed a decent route that can be enjoyed immediately instead of then waiting for patches and improvements
That will definitely put some people on the back foot and like me will hold out until we do see it in action or get other people’s opinions before buying, when there is no fanfare or eagerness to show off a new product that will always send alarms bells to players who have been burned in the past
That is a pity, I, and I expect many others was hoping you would do a pre release stream to help me decide if to get it day one or wait until later.
That is dissppointing, i was somewhat hesitant getting i.o.w anyway, now im even more set back on the idea
I would agree with this concern... why wouldn’t they want to get a pre-release livestream out there right away to help sales get off to a good start at release time? I guess the safe bet is to wait and see what folks think of it- and if the livestream happens pretty quick after release, you can check that out as well.
The reason why is we won't have a Monday stream next week, Tuesday will be dedicated to the Roadmap and Workshop Wednesdays will resume for TS. On Thursday (release day) you can look forward to a release day stream where Rivet will be joining us. And then another Isle of Wight stream on Friday.
Thanks Natalie... are there any plans to show the new route on console as well? If not, there should be... it gives console players an indication of what they can expect to see on their systems.
