Beta extended by a day.
Only have about an hour in on the beta but I like it so far. I like the slower paced action. There are characters that give you better speed attributes.
Nice, I donāt know if Iāll play it much now. I know Iāll buy it now so may wait until release. But if I see GRG members playing I may jump in.
I donāt want to play the BETA much at all really. I know I like it. Iād rather wait for release to really put any time into it.
It is a good refresh of Team Fortress in my opinion. Could use a bit more depth like Team Fortress did but overall, pretty decent game that will hopefully see some very cool competitions in the future.
It is one of the games that I would like to watch on twitch from a spectators point of view with announcers and what not.
Does anyone know if there will a regular edition available at launch? During the beta the game was going for $49.99 and then $59.99 for Xbox One. Now itās selling for $79.99 (Canadian) for the Origins Edition and, as much fun as the beta was, I donāt see the value for the amount of content there seems to be available. The Origins and Collectors editions are the only ones I can seem to find.
The Microsoft Store has it for $59.99 US. That is the regular edition.
XBox or PC?
If you pre-order on Amazon Prime you get 20% off.
Xbox. Iāll have a look on Amazon. Thanks.
I think the origins edition is just the day one editionā¦ isnāt $79 standard for a game in canada?
Thats what @LanceHung said before
$69 is pretty standard.

I dunno if maybe price changed in Canada but itās been in US standard PC version is $40 and Console versions (or origins versions) are $60. It is assumed to be due to XB and PS getting their cuts from the profits.
The price went up significantly near the end of the beta. It was listed as $49 Canadian. The usual price for a new game is $79, but thatās generally for larger releases. Iām just not seeing the value for the amount of content available at the moment. The beta was a blast, but there arenāt enough game modes and maps to make me want to spend the $79 for it unfortunately. Iāll see what it looks like just after it drops in a few days. There may be another option available.

I agreeā¦ Ito very polished but I donāt see it as a full priced game. $40 sounds right to me. If a bunch of people were getting it, I would probably pick it up with my best buy points for free, but I have plenty to play as it is.
People want to keep talking from what we know from just playing a Beta that itās low content and I get it.
I look at it as though am I going to get $60 worth of fun out of it? Will I put enough hours into it to pay for the $60? From what I played I think I will be playing this at least until the fall, with other games as well.

Couldnāt have said it better myself sir. Cheers!
The devs said what was played during the console beta is pretty much the whole launch so unlike with other games this isnt a rush to judgement. Waiting a bit will not only allow the price to drop but DLC is free so it will include more than what we have played. I really liked the game to bad it was not as heavy a hitter on the PS side.
