EUROPE OUT JAN 22, 2009! (Delayed to 29th now)

Postby Psyonix-Dave on Tue Jan 13, 2009 1:21 pm

We have now passed certification in Europe! The game will be out on Thursday, January 22, 2009.

The EU version is a little bit different than the US version. Key differences include:

The package is both Demo version and Full version. You will be able to download it from the store for free and it will be the demo version, which includes several single player challenges and mini-games, and allows you to play full games online, even with people who have already purchased the full game. This demo works on a trial period, and will remain active for approximately 90 minutes of in-game play, which does not include time spent in menu and other places where you are not playing (time period subject to change without notice). Once your demo time runs out, the game enters a very limited play mode, where no online is allowed, and single player play is much more limited.

At any time you will be able to purchase the full version in game in several places, as well as purchase it from the XMB (press triangle on our game, and select purchase). Once the game is purchased, it will unlock full playability and remove all restrictions. Any progress you made with the demo mode will be carried over to the full version.

EU version will NOT be able to play with US version players.

We are hoping this demo version will be a better representation of the full game, and make transitioning from demo to full easier for the user. :cheesygrin:

I don't think that's Sony, IIRC the Psyonix guys said they wouldn't allow playing from EU to US because it would be really laggy

Correct. However, fixing the demo to work with the retail game would require us to remove both from the store and release an entirely new package, and we would have to go through the entire sony process again, which isn't going to happen. :)

Is it not possible to make the new package, send it through Sony's process, and then just have them take the old one(s) out at the same time they put the new one up? Or would they make you remove the old one while you went through the process for the new one?

Technically you can. Just make a new PSN account, set your country to UK, and I believe you can buy the game from the Euro store...

Lol, thanx for the advice. I do have one but I would like to play with my North American one, lol. I was contacted by like 10 Europeans for couple of questions about the game. Also, I am not sure if I can use my credit card on the UK PSstore!!! More then that I will try the demo first to see how the connection will be ;)

I'll probably buy this from the europe store so in case no one is on in the U.s. i could possibly find people to play with on the euro. Also gotta get people angry wanting to beat so we get some good players over in europe fast. :P

Also giving the psyonix a few bucks so they can go to subway and eat fresh. :shock: 8-)
