I’m sure that’s a relief for many, but I bet there’s still going to be a pretty serious day one patch to download. Also, do we know if the game will actually work offline?
There were rumors based on the Steam specs that the game would be always-online, but they moved “broadband internet connection” from Minimum to Recommended specs – so at least on PC, it’s highly likely not online only.
It's good to hear that the standard edition will have a physical option, but Xbox and Sony both need to figure out their collector's editions for physical collectors while having digital only console versions.
It makes zero sense to include a steelbook for a digital download. Am I missing something? It's practically begging people to double dip, and it's a finger to physical disc collectors/preferences by not providing an option to get one with the disc. Oh you want the collector's editions items and a disc? Better buy it twice, suckers.
If stores can sell digital and physical standard editions, they can sell digital and physical collector's editions. It's just another way to normalize digital only, IMO.
And I'm not even interested in this collector's edition or most.
The edition that contains the physical goodies (watch, steelbook etc.) doesn't come with the disk but a digital download though. Honestly I never understood why they'd ship a steelbook without the physical game, but it's pretty common these days.
