[UTROMSHREDDER]

[UTROMSHREDDER]

[JoyL]

There's no offcial date in the official site, also GMG site delayed the date from 6 to 30 april

[Sir Kiko]

Steam said April 6th at first but now it says only "April". That sucks.

So if you preordered on GMG, does that mean you have to wait for the European release date since (afaik) it's based in London? I also am not sure if we'll get the preorder bonuses. :(

No. Even being a british store, they get the keys from the publisher and that's based on the place you bought it. So if you bought the game and you have american ip/account, you receive your key based on the US release date.

[ezodagrom]

When gaming websites use the last day of the month for the release date of a game that has no confirmed release date, usually that date is just a placeholder.

Amazon is like that. Will use the last day in the year.

Like 12-31-2012 for games that have no true release date.

yes, thanks but i think it depends by SEGA that it's the publisher not by them

[UTROMSHREDDER]

It depends on them because it is them that are developing the PC versions of sega games. Sega only develops and publish the console versions, while Devil Details develops the pc versions of their games.

Anyway, evryone please sent a email to devildetails and ask them if the release date is april 6 or april 30! DO IT NOW PLEASE!!!!:):):)

[sp_dv]

Hi,


Thanks for taking an interest in the title. Unfortunately, we're the developer for the title, not the publisher - that's SEGA for Binary Domain. As such we don't make comments on release dates (or generally anything else to do with the titles we develop), that's the publisher's job.


If you get in touch with Sega I'm sure they'll be able to help you.


Regards,
Steve

BAM! In your face, son!
I'm writing a letter to SEGA atm.

[UTROMSHREDDER]

ok then we need to sent an email to sega. Someone do it now please!

If it's get really released April 30th, i'm cancelling my pre-order and gonna play my other games instead then Diablo 3.

I buy this to play AT LEAST the entire month, with my recent purchase NOR prepurchase i will be busy after april and not gonna have time to play Binary Domain before seeing a pricr drop.

And you would cancel BD because you think you will have more fun with some game that will obviously sell more than enough copies and doesn't really need your support?

With this attire you're just making sure that less games like BD will be ported to PC. And you would also miss out on a great game that is a lot more interesting than a Mass Effect 3 or something similar.

[Nemeziz87]

soo the release date for US is 6 april and EU is 30 april?

Because i would simply have no time to play it.

I have 700 games on Steam, i have some on this i still need to finish at 100%. Or just some aren't even played yet.

I pre-ordered Diablo 3 Collector Edition. And no, i don't really care about Mass Effect 3, it's a bad game anyway. Well i don't want give spoilers.

It's simple, if BD get delayed by a month here in North America, i will certainly find something else to play instead and if i don't cancel the pre-order if it's get delayed then i will probably have it installed like all my other games but weill not touching it until i see a GOTY edition or something like that xD.

If you have about 700 games on Steam you don't seem to be the kind of guy who would care if he has a game more or less. I also doubt that it would be about money. So why make an exception for a game that needs all the support it can get?

[UTROMSHREDDER]

They just answer me the email that is sent them. They said that the can not answer because they are the developer and that i must ask sega. I will sent an email to sega then.

I hope a lot of people buy this game. Sega is a good company and it's awesome that they aren't charging 60 bucks like an EA or UBI would. We need to show them that they have a place here on the pc!

[ezodagrom]

Shouldn't you be saying EA and Activision? As bad as Ubisoft's choices of DRM are, at least their PC games are decently priced.
Usually their top games are released at $50 on the PC, and Rayman Origins was just released at a really nice $30 price point, it doesn't even have DRM on Steam.

Sega seems to always specify a release date then a few days before that date they decide to pull the date without any explanation, this is defineltly not the first time they've done it. really ticks me off when they do this.. i don't know why they bother announcing a release date if they can never deliver on that date.

Well, SEGA never really said that the release date was April 6th, they always said just April. The April 6th date appeared only in the Steam store page, which could have been a mistake.

Did sega said that release date is April 30? or it was some shops who says that?

[UTROMSHREDDER]

I just did a quick research on the internet and ony in 1 or 2 sites they were sayign that it is coming in april 6. Another one said that it is coming April 7 but most sites only say that it is coming april 6. That because sega has NEVER announced release date to be april 6. They only said that it will be released in April.

[Savant_Noir]

GameStop official street date is April 30th.

Nope, SEGA only said April, there's no exact release date so far.

ahhahaha lol yes, me too. However it's SEGA that said 6 april..also all italian site. Steam don't invent release date

[Richm246]

Mine is showing in New releases and the featured PC games, but I have it preordered and cannot install it. :p

[Amy]

Shoot Many Robots is a game i pre-ordered too.

They made an announcement for it's release and can't install either. So it's not specific to Binary Domain.

And binary domain were a littl up in Coming soon tab someday even without date, so it's probably really releasing today but need to be pushed to content servers.

[Richm246]

My Shoot Many Robots isn't installable either, I do hope it is released today...tomorrow will be fun :D

[didamangi]

This is going to be like Renegade Ops all over again, isn't it? :rolleyes:

[MuzixMon]

Well I just logged onto my computer saw the game was under "New Releases" and I bought it. I am unable to install it as of right now but I'm assuming this will be fixed within the hour. If it doesn't get fixed and they made it look like the game was available when it's not that would be incredibly uncool. I'll see what happens first.

[sp_dv]

Same for me, saw it in the New Releases section and insta-bought it.

[MuzixMon]

Now I just refreshed Steam and it's no longer in the New Releases section nor is it in the Coming Soon section... very interesting indeed.

[ezodagrom]

Since it's not in the new releases tab anymore, looks like it was put there by mistake. :|

[Amy]

I wonder if those who bought it when it was in the new release tab will get pre-order bonus.

[Richm246]

I wonder if those who bought it when it was in the new release tab will get pre-order bonus.

Being as the page still said "pre purchase" I'd assume so.

Or maybe I'm kidding myself, lol. Still.... fingers crossed!

"This game is not available for download yet. It will be on 30-Apr-2012. Any required keys will be made available on that date."
That date is a placeholder until they have the actual release date for the game, for example, I pre-ordered Assassin's Creed 3 in GMG, in the account/mygames/download/Assassin's Creed 3 page it says a similar message, saying that the keys will be available on October 31, but that date is just a placeholder, they're using that date because they don't have an exact release date for the game.

Some gaming websites use the last day of the month as release date for games where only the month of release is known.

http://blogs.sega.com/2012/03/19/binary-domain-heading-to-pc-in-april/

[Shaneluls39199]

but its been removed from coming soon so whats that say?

[ezodagrom]

I'm guessing they put it in the new releases tab by mistake and when they removed it from there they forgot to put it back in the coming soon tab?

it means that it is coming sometime today or tomorow.

But SEGA did NOT announce it for April 6, they only announced it for April, with no exact date.
The date April 6 appeared first on the Steam store page, but SEGA never confirmed it, so I guess the April 6 release date on the Steam store page was most likely a mistake from Steam's part, like how it appeared in the "new releases" tab today.

They never confirmed it,

BUT THEY NEVER DENIED IT too.
The fact it has displayed april 6th for LONG is show unprofessionalism from SEGA OR a hidden delay like they did for Renegade Ops.
In both way, SEGA should have contacted their "Tech guy" assigned to them by VALVe to see what was wrong with that but they seem to not have done it.

In both situation, SEGA are unclear and kinda fail about this. I wanted to see this release like it was announced for long, SEGA didn't asked Steam to remove it earlier so it's obviously was know by SEGA .

I excep a delay. And my only reason to re-order the game would be to give the multiplyer pack AND APROOVING pre-order will also get the single player pre-order pack that was on console.
Either way i'll wait for a GOTY edition, i prefere playing other game and waiting for a GOTY of this one than seeing the game removed from recent release without beeing aware of anything why.

[SystemCP]

If Sega has taught me anything it is to never trust a release date. Reminds me of my Renegade Ops pre-purchase, in which the game release was delayed almost a dozen times. I would not be surprised if this game was released in June considering Sega's poor forecasting of game releases.

How can you be so sure they knew? And how do you know for a fact they intentionally didn't change the date, apparently just to screw you over? You're making a lot of second guesses with no concrete proof other than your own speculation.

Unless you emailed Sega prior to the game's release, and they replied 'Yes, its coming out April 6th for sure', they've not lied or misrepresented themselves in any way like you seem to be insinuating.

While Steam is no doubt probably the biggest digital distribution platform out there, it is far from the only place the game's being sold. Its not reasonable to expect they monitor every webpage and site and individually go correct EVERY single piece of wrong info.

And not only that, ever since I pre-ordered the game maybe close to 3 weeks ago, Steam has NEVER had a 6th April release date on it for me. It's always been listed as to be released on April 2012.

[JudgmentBolt]

This is going to be like Renegade Ops all over again, isn't it? :rolleyes:

Yeah, the summer release is for retail, since it says in their website that PC Digital is in April.

SEGA ignore all my messages and tweets.

I don't even understand why they don't just give us a estimated date. An estimated week would even be better than the whole month of April.

I'm really looking forward to this game but I sent a ticket to cancel the pre-order for now. Though support still hasn't gotten back to me about it and it's been longer than 3 days. Usually they are super quick to cancel my pre-orders.

You know what... its just not SEGA doing this. Even the CS:GO idiots are doing the same thing. They are just concerned about getting the COD players for their game since I guess they know what a pathetic POS CS:GO will turn out to be...

Clearly these idiots ignore valid tweets containing concerns/criticisms and just like replying to posts filled with praises and all. Way to go guys. Bravo.

willl you buy it again when they announce release date? That why i never preorder games. I buy them at release date and never digital only retail

I won't pre-order it again if they announce a delay, delay of a day or a week opr more don't matters, SEGA technically approoved the release date, Steam didn't put 6TH for no reason, if a dev tell no date it's automaticly the year or the month but no exact day. And the fact they didn't asked Steam to remove it before make it even more unprofessional. Cmon, a huge load of indie dev handle way better their publishing than those abusive delaying compangny.. Oh and maybe some other SEGA games, not only Binary Domain :P.

I could tho purchase it if it's come out today. Even after the release, i don't care about the pre-order pack.

But if they delay it more i blacklist the game for a while and will probably only get it as GOTY 5$ special or simething like that.

My university and my 750 games are enough to keep me busy for a while if it's happen.

make an official comment for us...saying "if you delete word will spread and LOTS of pre orders will be canceled. we the fans would like info or we cut the deal"

hell if you private message me when/if you tweet that ill login (made a twitter account lonnnng ago haven't logged in more than once) and ill follow up by saying ill cancel pre order if this post is removed or if we dont hear anything. we gotta show them were serious.

Am I the only one who always had Steam showing the release date as April 2012 with no exact day?

The only way I ever found out anything about April 6th myself was looking at the wikipedia entry for the game.

This was ever since I pre-ordered 3 weeks or so ago.

Date was removed, we all see "April" now, nothing else.

yes, it was 6 april, later has been cancelled and changed in "april"..I think like Amy is not a professional behaviour, also without say any reason or excuse to the customer. And please, dont say it's a childish behaviour..it's a matter that 40 euro have dissapeared from my wallet, i knew before i could wait if pre order or not

Will see. In main case there are no changes with regions. So, stop this flood, let's sit down and wait for release.

[scubs]

just sent my preorder cancelation request.. it may not make much of a difference to Sega, but if enough people cancel maybe they will have some regards for PC gamers.. as of right now, they don't give a crap about the PC fan base..

if it was the first time they've done this it might not be such a big deal, but the fact that they continue to do it even after the Renagade OPs fiasco.

Well, with the small amount of $$$ money saved, you might get a monitor with a better resolution than 1280 x 1024. Playing with such low resolution isn't giving great graphics as in 1080P like i do.


And considering my huge revenue, i don't really care about a difference of price. trust me :P.

While there's no exact release date for the game, it does say April 2012, so it could be released anytime during April, it could be released in any day until the end of the month.

[WskOsc]

The situation with Binary Domain is getting crazy but lets not forget that game development (and even porting) is a complicated and time consuming business if you want a quality product at the end of it.

It's possible that there was a technical hiccup late in development or that Sega just wanted to avoid Easter and release later for the possibility of more profits.

Their lack of communications however is absolutely terrible, it'd be nice to just have any kind of response from them telling us what's going off with the release date and possibly just give us a reason as to why it was delayed.

I'll throw together an email to Sega if anyone has their contact email address and try again to get some information out of them.

A month or so before Sonic 4 Episode 1 and Sonic CD were released on Steam, the Sonic 4 series brand manager mentioned that getting confirmation of the release date of a digital game is harder than getting confirmation of the release date of a retail game, and sometimes they're only able to confirm the release date shortly before the release.
I guess this is why we don't have an exact release date for Binary Domain, since only the digital version is being released in April.

As I posted many times, SEGA never said that the game would be released on April 6, while that date appeared on the Steam store, SEGA never confirmed that date, and most likely it was a mistake by Steam's part. SEGA always mentioned the release date as just April 2012, with no exact date, so, unless the game is not released until the end of the month, it hasn't really been delayed.

pretty sure that was planned. so i guess these (http://storefront.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/203750/extras/banner_prepurchase_items.png) are the bonus we get for delay on binary domain? :rolleyes:

[AJ Dandy]

lol I'm through with pre-ordering stuff published by sega,
With no clear details from steam nor sega, I should have known
with sega track record on their recent games.
next time I'll just wait till the game actually releases.
Screw you sega, you wont be getting my pre-order money anymore

[ezodagrom]

If we were in May without the game being released, I could understand the complaints about delays, not trusting SEGA and whatever, but we're still in the first half of April, while it doesn't have an exact release date yet, it can be released anytime in the next 19 days.

Why is everyone blaming SEGA on this when it was Steam that got the date wrong? If every store listed the release date as April 6, then yeah, it would have been SEGA's fault, but that date appeared only on Steam, so most likely it was Steam's fault for getting the date wrong, not SEGA's.

[scubs]

Why is everyone blaming SEGA on this when it was Steam that got the date wrong?

And how do you know that? Steam wasn't the only site that listed the 6th.. that date was set more than a couple weeks before it got changed. Steam does not put any dates on games, it is up to the publisher..

Also, Sega has a history of putting dates then pulling them off at the last minute. read the whole thread before jumping to conclusions.

The April 6 date appeared first on Steam, other websites most likely got the date from the Steam store page. In SEGA's website, the April 6 date was never mentioned, they always said just April 2012.

Also, it didn't take them weeks to change the date from April 6 to just April 2012. The game was added to the Steam store on March 19, and the date was changed from April 6 to April 2012 on March 20, in the day after it was added.

This is the first article where the PC port was announced, until that article, no one knew that Binary Domain was getting a PC port.
http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/2012/03/19/binary-domain-coming-to-pc/

See the date of the article? March 19. Later that day the game appeared for pre-order on Steam, which is where the April 6 date was first mentioned.

After that article, I started sharing the news about the PC version of Binary Domain in the PCGamer forums, when the date was changed from April 6 to April 2012 in the Steam store page, I posted the news about the date being changed in those forums.
http://www.pcgamer.com/forum/showpost.php?p=185239&postcount=7

Look at the date of the post, March 20.
It only took Steam 1 day to change the date from April 6 to April 2012 in the store page, not weeks like some of you are saying.

[bdo7]

Funny, I remember seeing the April 6 date on Steam many times before I even decided to place my order, then seeing it again after placing it.

Perhaps because I do not regularly restart Steam, it didn't update on my store page. I leave my PC running and Steam is almost always running in the background. Hmm.

In any case, I know it said April 6 when I placed my order, and then it was changed afterward. I don't care as much as some of these people do, because I have TONS of games I'm trying to get to as it is.

I'm sure I will enjoy BD whenever it comes out. Looks cool.

In the meantime, I've just discovered a Flyable Vertibird mod for Fallout: New Vegas. It. Is. Incredible. That alone will keep me busy for a while. (I know that is off-topic, and I'm sorry, but it's so amazingly cool, I had to say something to someone about it. If you are waiting for BD and you have FNV installed, GO GET THAT MOD. You will cease to notice the passage of time, I promise!)

Ezogarom is very calm and level headed about all this and he's right, getting a release date for anything can be a pain in the ♥♥♥ but it's also true that even if Sega made up something or at least just talked to the customers then it'd be better than being completely in the dark.

Even if we can't get a date out of them then it'd be nice to at least get a reason or an excuse or even just an acknowledgement from Sega and clearer communications from any publisher in the future.

[ezodagrom]

Well, yeah, having more info, or a statement from SEGA with more details about the PC release would be nice, but the complaints going on around here are quite exaggerated.

My personal opinion, I'm just glad that this game is coming to the PC at all and it's using Steamworks instead of an awful service like Games for Windows Live.

GFWL has been a minor annoyance more than anything for me.

I've never had any issues with GFWL and It's never stopped me from enjoying the games that use the service but I don't particularly like it either.

I think some people overreact when a game uses it.

Better that the game comes to PC and uses GFWL than not coming at all.

I really want to play Dark Souls on PC and I don't care what DRM it uses.

I really want to play Dark Souls on PC and I don't care what DRM it uses.
The only problem I have with GFWL is its saving system, it's annoying to back up the save files, and, even though it's rare, there are cases where the save files from GFWL games get corrupted, this is something that shouldn't happen at all.
GFWL doesn't stop me from buying a game I want, but it's still an annoying service.

[WskOsc]

GFWL in my experience is a mixed bag. When it works it's okay, it stays out of the way and does its job and it's like having the features of an xbox on your PC, which is fine by me because I appreciate gaming in any form so long as I'm having fun.

However, when GFWL does mess up it messes up spectacularly with corrupted saves, passwords not working, corrupted installs, updates that won't download, firewall/router issues (such as opening the ports or disabling your firewall don't even affect whether it'll work or not) and just general crappy programming.

That said, if I really want a game, DRM doesn't bother me, it's something we just have to put up with these days and if it's really so bad (like Ubisoft's failed always-on DRM) then I'll just vote with my wallet and not buy the product. Like Gabe said, games are a service and should be presented as such, it's easy for people to go out and pirate your games no matter the protection but if you give a good service and make it worth buying then people will more often than not pay for the quality.

/opinion

At least the SWTOR servers are now in maintenance for the deployment of the 1.2 update so I have something to do while waiting for the Binary Domain release, happy days!

Yeah I guess I've been lucky or something but I've never had any severe issues with GFWL.

There was this one time with Bioshock 2 where it wouldn't update the game automatically but it did download the update so I had to find where it downloaded to and install it manually, but that's really the only annoying experience I've had.

No corrupt installs/saves, passwords not working or firewall/router issues.

Played the 360 demo today for the first time. man the first boss was annoying as ♥♥♥♥!!

otherwise i like it. just gears of war with robots. the only reason i haven't canceled yet is steam achivs, leader boards and save. in fact if there wasn't any "steam" in this game i would have cut the rope by now.

its graphically impressive so taking that into account and the talking to ur squad-mates is the only excuse they have for un clear dates

[WskOsc]

Sounds like you have been lucky BC2.

I'm a little disappointed by the delays with Binary Domain but I still want to support a good game and good devs (both the original and port teams) and so I'll be patient and hope, however pointlessly, that BD will come out any day now.

[bdo7]

I'll be patient and hope, however pointlessly, that BD will come out any day now.

Pointlessly hope?

The release date is "April." It is now April. The game will come out in April.

It hasn't been delayed, pushed back, canceled, or otherwise changed. It's right on schedule.

What's with all this attitude?

Yeah, I know it used to say April 6 on the Steam store page. But as others have pointed out, it didn't say that anywhere else. It was an error. They corrected the error. The game was not delayed.

I pre-ordered it when it said April 6, so I have every right to be upset, but I'm not. I understand that mistakes happen, and I understand that the game is NOT delayed.

Everyone relax, K? :)

Now, if April draws to a close and the game still hasn't come out, THEN we shall begin to whine in earnest. ;)

[scubs]

love how these fools keep saying it was Steam or only steam had a April 6th release date.. even METACRITIC (http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/binary-domain) shows the 6th. plenty of other sites had the 6th as well except they did the same thing, pulled the date or changed it to just "April".

[Anima3]

A couple of retailers in my country have changed the release date from "April" to "19. April"...no guarantees of course.

I just hope that BD arrives this month and Dark Souls later in August...so good.

My apologies, looking back on it my post does seem to be a little bit ambiguous in meaning. When I said hoping for a release any day now, I was meaning a day like today, or tomorrow. Kind of as a joke.

I know the game will come out when they're good and ready and that's fine by me, it's not like I've not got other games to play or other things to do, speaking of which...

[ezodagrom]

Where do you think the April 6 date came from? Steam. Steam was the first to list the April 6 date, gaming websites saw that date on Steam and thought it was the game release date, and put it on their websites. Some of those websites weren't aware that the date was a mistake and haven't changed it since then.

Basically what happened until now:
- March 19 - SEGA announced the game for April 2012, later on Steam put the game up for pre-order with the date April 6. Gaming websites saw the date on Steam and assumed that the date was accurate.
- March 20 - The date was changed from April 6 to April 2012 in the Steam store.
- April 6 - Binary Domain appeared in the New Release tab of the Steam store for around 30 minutes or so, it was then removed and replaced with Shoot Many Robots. Those who pre-ordered Shoot Many Robots weren't able to install the game at the time of unlocking, only sometime later the issues were fixed and they were able to install it. After this happened, Binary Domain didn't appear again in the Coming Soon tab.

What happened on April 6 is what makes me think that the mistake comes from Steam, not SEGA. I think it's possible that Steam/Valve might have gotten confused between Binary Domain and Shoot Many Robots release dates.

[AJ Dandy]

ezodagrom you sega fan-boy-ism is showing! haha :3

It's not a delay if SEGA never announced it for April 6.
If the game isn't released until May though, then that will really be a delay.

[AJ Dandy]

I won't argue, but its terrible that the game should have a finalized date at this point and time.
Very unprofessional of sega

[wylie]

Even after all this release date drama, I'm still excited to play the game on the PC! Now if only Atlus would release Catherine on the PC.

[SFisherBG]

I will wait a few more days and after that I will cancel my pre-order. This is not a company that deserves my support.

[krissprolls]

i'm tired, really tired!
Nothing happens, sega never respond to my mail/tweet/comment on sega blog and keep quiet.
i cancel my pre order!
The PS3/XBOX360 version of BD was not a succes, so they need money
this is a trap, for have little bit more money with our pre purcahse, that's all.
disgusting

A trap?

As in, you think they didn't actually make a PC port, and they're just pretending they did in order to get people's money?

(A) Everyone would eventually cancel their pre orders, then: no money

(B) They would go to jail.

I don't think your theory is a good one...

if you see April on the release date, and the month is April, you pre purchase the game beacause 1 month to wait is not so long.
So everybody pre purchase but Sega already know they cant release the game in April (but they have the money of our pre purchasse, nice job)

[bdo7]

Ah, I see what you mean.

Still, we're halfway through April, so I expect it will hit before the month is out.

I've been fooled before, though. :)

I prefer to wait than cancel my pre-order... Let's support our plataform, you should stop crying.

I already have pre-ordered Max payne 3. And if I could I would buy Assassin's Creed III right now!

Support the platform? Yea I love my computer but I hate getting shafted by companies who care more bout consoles then PC's. What SEGA is doing is unprofessional. I dont know of any other gaming company who's release dates are not clearly spelled out.

Let me give you some light: Valve, Gearbox, THQ, 2K Games, Rockstar Games (sometimes), Cyanide Studios, City Interactive S.A., Square Enix/Eidos, Blizzard, etc.

all of them have some games delayed, your right, but here this is unacceptable, we are on April the 16th, and they keep the release date on "April 2012"

the other companies never do that!!!

No, you are mistaken. I swear, other companies already do that too, but I can't remember exactly which company and which game... But believe me, I already have seen other companies putting something like just "September" till the release day.

[ezodagrom]

This is from Sonic 4 Brand Manager, he said this about Sonic CD, 1 month before it was released, but it might explain why we have no exact date for Binary Domain:

Publishers and 1st party don't usually like to announce release dates for digital games until the game has passed certification. Once we (the publisher) pass, we work with our 1st party guys to solidify the dates. Otherwise, we could announce a date to the public and then ultimately that not be true.

This isnt so much of a problem on the boxed product side, because you traditionally pass cert so early, since you take into account manufacturing and shipping times. So you can announce dates much earlier since cert is done much earlier.

[...]

Hope that helps everyone understand the process from our side a bit better!

And I Am Very Happy For Known The Release Date

Finally! I feel sorry for those who canceled their pre-order, people should stop acting impulsively. Pre-order it again guys and let's play, I don't want another dead multiplayer game! :D

question, do we need to preorder the game to get Dan Marshall DLC pack? Or it just comes with the game no matter what?

in the official sega blog :
http://blogs.sega.com/2012/04/17/binary-domain-digital-download-available-april-27/

They say :
"Pre-order bonuses are available for both digital and boxed versions"

[Gamer201013]

Pre-order bonuses are available for both digital and boxed versions. The ‘Dan Marshall Pack’ focuses on Binary Domain’s playable protagonist of the same name, and features additional bionic upgrades and weaponry. The ‘Multiplayer Pack’ adds the ‘Ninja’ playable class, a unique character type with a focus on surprise attacks and adaptive combat. The new ‘Outside High-rise, Upper City’ map and additional weapon types round out Binary Domain’s already-comprehensive multiplayer experience. Please check your favored digital distributor or retailer for further information on availability.

[bdo7]

If you pre-order (on Steam), I'm pretty sure you get the multiplayer pack only. To get the single player pack, you need to pre-order from Gamestop AND be a member of their little rewards club... this is from Sega's blog:

http://blogs.sega.com/2011/12/12/binary-domain-powerup-rewards-at-gamestop/

To receive the Dan Marshall Pack you must:

1. Must be Power UP Rewards Pro Member
2. Must Pre-order Binary Domain
3. Must Pick up Binary Domain in 48 hours to receive this pack

I would beware of Web sites claiming to offer a "free" Dan Marshall Pack code. At best, it's against Sega's wishes, at worst, there could be malware etc on such sites.

[yapchagi]

too bad then...if I don't preorder it, I don't get the Dan Marshall pack. Coz that's all I care about...single-player gaming.

Wish Amazon had a preorder for this game too with Dan Marshall pack bonus.

[bdo7]

You can still pre-order... game's not due out for 10 more days. :)

so can we get a guarantee from Steam that we'll get the Dan Marshall pack if we preorder it directly from Steam?

Coz their main page only says this "Pre-Purchase and receive the Multiplayer Pack, which includes an exclusive map, two weapons and ninja costumes!"

Come on, Steam!

[Nemeziz87]

doo u guys think it will be good optimized for PC?

Maybe. Look at Renegade Ops. It was delayed 3 times and when it finally came out, the game played fine on PC + they added a bonus car for free.

[ezodagrom]

It's being ported by the same studio that ported Sonic Generations and Virtua Tennis 4 to the PC, if it's anything like those games, it'll run at 60fps on reasonably good PCs, but it'll have only a few graphics options

I highly doubt it. This is one of those vendor-specific pre-order things, I think. If you buy from Steam, you get the multiplayer pack, but not the single-player one. If you buy from Gamestop, you get the single-player pack, but not the multiplayer pack. You have to choose. I hate when they do this, but it's becoming more common. Fallout New Vegas had something like FOUR different pre-order bonuses, depending on who you bought it from. Deus Ex Human Revolution had two different pre-order packs.

It's worth noting that in the case of both FNV and DXHR, those "pre-order bonuses" are now available to everyone on Steam for a couple dollars. The same will probably happen with BD, and likely in a shorter time frame.

Not sure which "digital distributors" are offering the SP pack, though. I pre-ordered from Green Man, and they say I'm getting the multiplayer one, just like Steam.

[bdo7]

Still looking to see if there's a digital seller that has the SP pack. It's not like there are many... GMG, Steam, and what? Direct2Drive maybe?

Checked Direct2Drive, and they're doing the multiplayer pack also.

That makes all 3 "digital distributors" that I know about.

I also checked Gamestop's page, and the PC version does NOT include any kind of bonus.

It looks like if you want the SP pack, you're totally out of luck. It's vaporware.

Looks like the rumoured April 6 date that appeared on Steam at the beginning was a mistake from Steam's part after all:
We announced the release date yesterday - the date on Steam (the 6th) was set by Steam and not our teams. The delay you saw was Steam updating the date and in turn, not informing SEGA, nor consumers that it swapped. Sorry for the confusion, I've been working with the teams internal here to get stuff like this sorted.

yeah and i bet it was Steam fault Renegade OPs date was changed/delayed 3 or 4 times. it's probably easier and makes them look better if they blame Steam..

Renegade Ops was SEGA's fault, but in the case of Binary Domain, if SEGA announced the game to be released on April 6 on their own website, yeah, I would agree that it would have been SEGA's fault, but no one from SEGA ever mentioned that date in their website, that date appeared on the Steam store first and it never actually appeared on SEGA's website.

[bdo7]

Sooo. you CAN get both pre-order packs, IF you buy directly from SEGA.

Hmmm.

I already have a pre-order placed with GMG, and I only paid $32 rather than $40 (with the 20% GMG coupon some nice user posted here).

I dunno, I'm a sucker for bonus content, but an extra 8 bucks for the DMP seems a bit much.

ALSO: If you buy from SEGA, do you redeem on Steam, or what? I'm not investing in another digital platform, one is enough.

EDIT from reading on their site:

No, it's not a Steam activation code. You use SEGA's own proprietary download and authentication system, and there is a 5-activation limit, too (refreshed "periodically").

Sticking with my GMG preorder which will get me a Steam key. Oh, well.

Farewell, slightly shinier assault rifle. We could have had fun together. :(

[AJ Dandy]

ahh damn, so these bastards are gonna release it on the same day as Risen 2? damn it

[krissprolls]

is anyone know why all the web know the BD release date and steam keep it to "April 2012"...?
Maybe beacause of the mistakes about the "April 6th" issues.
SEGA is certainly in conflict with steam now they don't want steam sell the game
?

[yapchagi]

coz steam feels embarrassed about the date they put last time. So right now they don't want to change it until the last few days.

Agreed. I was more interested in the Dan Marshall pack (SP), but SEGA waited too long to make it available - and keeping it exclusive to SEGA doesn't encourage me to change my pre-order this close to release (and certainly not for another $8/US).

The feeling I get is that SEGA seems not to have their heart in this release at all - and it wouldn't surprise me if, in the end, they blame everything/everyone but themselves and use this experience as an excuse to NOT bother with PCs in the future :\ Everything about this release indicates to me that their focus is to milk BD for all they can to recoup costs - and based on their apparent lack of genuine interest in the product, I won't be surprised if it's a poor port.

Sticking with GMG as well. I'll play the SP and might try out the MP, but I'll be more careful in the future and won't pre-order anything from SEGA again. Live and learn...

After seeing a beta build send from SEGA about Sonic Episode 2 that was available earlier today, NO WAY I THINK now Steam did the mistake, it's was a SEGA fail.
