Only digital game?

[minijnk]

Hello.

 

I want to pre order them game but I want to ask you

if there will be a non digital game ( a Dvd version).

[Sensuki]

There will be, but as usual they probably won't be available for pre-order until closer to the release date. There has not been a release date announcement as of yet.

happy to hear that!

cause i want to have it to my collection(baldurs gate and iwd)

[minijnk]

another question.

will be royal edition available for the non digital version ?

[PBJam]

I'd also be interested in some sort of physical collector's edition

Erm, you know DVDs are digital, right? It's right in the name: Digital Versatile Disc. If you want an analogue version you're going to have a bad time: Computers are all digital. All the actual physical signals are analogue! But they represent discrete states, i.e. digital signals.

 

Your chance of getting a non-digital version of a computer game always has been and always will be, absolute zero.

 

Now, if you want to have it on a physical medium, like a DVD … do people still have those things in their computers? B-)

Wait for the console version then you can collect the physical. This will no doubt come to consoles. See the UI and the big text, it will be easily ported over. After all, which developer doesn't like money?

I really doubt there'll be a console version. I'm having a hard time thinking up an even half-arsed control scheme for combat. Certainly not in real-time. (Granted, I haven't played a lot (read: any) of Bioware's recent RPGs - not entirely sure how they fare, but smaller parties and companion AI, right?) Combat is Pillars of Eternity (and the older IE games) are kinda RTS-like, even with pause. Only console game I can think of that did that sort-of right was ... uh, Pikmin? Wasteland 2 is a lot easier by comparison - turn based combat gives a lot of leeway.

 

Anyway, we haven't heard much of the Retail / Boxed copy editions for Non-Backers. I do believe they exist, though. Saw it was up for pre-order on some European  Amazon sites. (UK & Germany). I'm sure more info will appear in the coming week or so.

 

Steam preorder page is a bit of a mess too.

They said no console version at all. For what?

Never say never. Look at Wasteland 2. It's going to the consoles. Look at Divinity Original Sins. They are constantly flashing the xbox and ps controllers in their interview. Pillars will eventually goes to consoles anyway. Just hope when it sells big, and PoE2 announced for multiplatform, pray hard PC version especially the UIs and Menus are not gimped for parity as well as spells and tactics.

I really like physical for PC games especially games like PoE. But PC gaming has gone to the trend of digital and hoping a physical PC version in my country, that's certainly not going to happen. So Steam and GOG are the only options for me.

And again, Wasteland 2 and Divinity: Original Sin have turn based combat. That works with a controller, no problem.

 

Can you give an example of any game with PoE / IE style combat on a console that isn't terribad? I wouldn't mind seeing Pillars of Eternity show up on consoles, I just don't see it happening with this combat system.
