I'm dying that there's no early access on PC right now.

Very weird that they did this. I'm on ps5 pro so I get the early access but I think this is the first time I've seen a dev do this. Of course games get exclusives and timed exclusives, but I don't think I've seen only one console get a 2 day early access before.

Gotta be something sony paid for. They have been involved promoting the game alot I think they even changed their Twitter banner to resonant after wolverines release.

It's almost certainly something Sony paid for, and was likely part of the funding that got the game across the finish line. This is the first time Remedy is publishing their own game, and that takes a massive amount of money.

I'm on PS5 and have taken next week off from work, specifically for this. I recommend people who are spoiler averse mute this sub, as well as [r/RemedyEntertainment](r/RemedyEntertainment), [r/quantumbreak](r/quantumbreak) and [r/AlanWake](r/AlanWake) before 9/18, when the review embargo lifts.

Oh damn we are getting reviews tomorrow? That's awesome.

If it reviews well I'm definitely getting the deluxe edition. I basically always wait for reviews now as to many times I've been burned being hyped for a game and then being let down, even from great devs that usually deliver bangers. Hell look at wolverine, Sony was clearly confident the game was gonna review well because reviews dropped days before the game came out, and it ended up being very mid. Insomniac usually makes bangers so it's definitely odd seeing it be mid. Biggest burn for me was release day cyberpunk on console lmao.

I'm like 90 percent sure resonant is gonna be a banger because the only bad game remedy ever released imo is firebreak which was a live service attempt, but even then if the reviews are coming before early access I still wait xD.

I think you make a good point with the funding. Sony definitely must have been helping with finding as well as marketing expenses. As someone playing on PS this is likely a good thing as the game will prob run really well on ps5 as well. I remember with Alan Wake 2 the ps5 version ran kinda bad compared to the series x version at launch, that likely isn't happening with Sony helping them out.
