So you have to preorder the X1 version in order to be in the beta? I guess I shall cancel the preorder when the game comes out.

Nevermind, this is digital download only. If I preorder it I won't be able to cancel it through UPlay.

nX3238d ago (Edited 3238d ago )

Yeah digital only, not cool. So I tried signing up for the "waiting list" but I wasn't able to enter my e-mail address anywhere. At the end it told me to check my mails... maybe they'll find me through Watch Dogs? :v

Skate-AK3238d ago

If you were signed into Uplay, it likely took your email from there.

fiveby93238d ago

I was able to sign-up for the PC wait list without problem using my uplay credentials.

Boozehound3238d ago

Pre-order through Amazon and get a code, then cancel.

SmielmaN3237d ago

This. Except I didn't cancel, game looks sweet.

MercilessDMercer3238d ago

Open beta you say... Right now you say... Timed exclusive? Well, screw you too

PANDAB3238d ago

They revealed this game way too soon. My interest has just gone way down

NerveGearneeded3237d ago

not only too soon but from gameplay videos seen, a underwhelming cover shooter with gadgets.

cfc833238d ago

Piss off. Betas should be open to all for free. They get feedback.

Sashamaz3238d ago

Betas are to be honest the full game with some bugs here and there, you are not entitled to it, no one is, if you are not happy with this either wait for the full game or avoid it.

cfc833238d ago

I was under the impression it was a small part of the game. Like destiny.

Mehmeh3237d ago

Except in Destiny the Beta turned out to be a larger part of the final game than one thought it was x)

frostypants3238d ago (Edited 3238d ago )

@cfc83, why "should" it? They don't have a right to determine the best approach for testing their own software? I can think of lots of reasons to control access, including but not limited to the current status of the server environment, keeping tabs on the effects of traffic demands and scaling it up, keeping feedback organized, discouraging freeloaders who'd just jump in to play for free without providing feedback, and in general avoiding total chaos.

On the other hand, explain why you feel entitled to it...

cfc833238d ago (Edited 3238d ago )

It should be free because the devs want free feedback. I don't feel entitled to it either. I merely stated betas ought to be free, as was the case with destiny and bf:hardline as two examples. If the community reports issues, it can help devs\publishers from a business viewpoint. I don't see why people should commit to pre-ordering to test a game. Though i do accept if it's a full game beta then that's different. Not so sure that would work though. Order>complete game>cancel order would happen quite a bit.

I am in absolute agreement with the OP 👌

shinoff2183392d ago

I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.

-Foxtrot391d ago

Multiplayer or even co-op

If it was always a single player game then that's how it is

Inverno391d ago

It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.

Flawlessmic391d ago

Tbh multilayer now is a way to add live service and mtx elements, very rarely does it come of well.

What single players game used to be in a lot of cases now require 3 other people for keeping to really enjoy it and I hate having to rely on others to get the maximum from a game.

Sp should be sp, if devs want to add a separate multi mode then that's fine with me, the legends addition to ghost of tshushima was fricking sick but totally separate to the main game. Sick of co op too.

Hofstaderman391d ago

I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.

Dagexon391d ago

I didn't notice your comment before I added mine.
But good times indeed
