    Give it a moment for Amazon to catch wind of this and they'll price match it quickly.

    • +4

      It's been this price at HN for at least a week or 2 and they have yet to price match so….

  • +5

    Fortunately, other stores will most likely do a price match. To be fair though HN have been doing some crazy first mover gaming deals.

    • +2

      Was the first to do a cheap price for dji mini 3 pro too

  • +2

    So many games on sale at the moment…I’ll give this two weeks from launch before it starts going down in price. 😅

    • +1

      Just wait for people who buy it from the advertising/hype and find it isn't their type of game then sell it cheap on Facebook marketplace lol

      Single player only titles don't tend to hold their value long on the used market. Exception being limited production run games like a lot of Japanese localisation games which seem to increase in value a lot.

  • Get the link, match to JB website

  • Game looks decent but I'd have to say, all the mechanics etc. look almost identical to dead space. Makes me wonder what's the point if they're just trying to recreate the IP from the old game to compete with the remaster?

    • +3

      It's from the original creator of Dead Space, this was announced well before the announcement of the Dead Space remaster.

      Hoping the remaster is good though, really loved the first two DS games so if we get another two bangers in a two like this then I'm all for it.

      • Ah I didn't realise this was announced before. Regardless I do think it just seems way too similar - from the trailer even the story appears to have a similar premace to the first dead space.

        Regardless, probably good fun

        • +1

          Yeah that's fair, it was meant to fill that void since it's been so long since a Dead Space game, and then EA just came out with the remaster announcement.

          Definitely draws huge inspiration from DS.

          • +1

            @mangobango: EA got salty they no longer have the niche to control whenever they wanted, so they had to get something out.

    • +2

      Yeah, I think the real meaningful difference is the combat system. They've added dodging and melee to balance to help players deal with ammo shortages and damage resistant enemies.

      The creator of this game also made Dead Space and that's the area he mentioned wanting to differentiate on. Limb cutting gets you nowhere in this game.

      The story, setting, characters definitely hit all the same notes Dead Space did. Futuristic, dystopian sci-fi space horror with aliens you have to fight and escape from.

  • If Amazon does end up price matching, SB's $5 bonus tomorrow will make it cheaper than HN. But looking unlikely as per above comment from beaver2233, Amazon has not pricematched yet

    • +3

      Surely they were just waiting for it to be posted on OzB before price matching 😎

  • +1

    Have both a PS5 and Series X but want the PC version of this game. Any deals on that version?

  • Man when did they start separating Xbox games into One and Series? Used to be one copy would work on both consoles. I knew Playstation games did it but Xbox games now as well?

    • +1

      For games where they charge more for next gen versions, it's separate. Otherwise still one copy.

      For instance, Sonic was the same price across gens/free upgrade, so single copy on Xbox for that.

      • Yeah that's fair. This is a pretty good price but I just got an ultrawide monitor so will probably be on the hunt for a PC copy.

  • +3

    For anyone that's not aware of the current promotion, this game will be available for download with the purchase of any RDNA GPU that's an RX 6600 and above.

  • Good find. Hopefully this is good. Just a reminder not to pre-order games in case they're a buggy mess on launch.

    • +2

      Unless you preorder (or even just normal order once released) with Amazon — you can return the game within a month of purchase under the return reason “product didn’t meet expectations” and get a full refund. Have done this for half a dozen or so games this year.

      • Had no idea about this! Good tip.

  • How good is HN with delivering in launch day? Or will they only post on launch and we get it a few days later?

    There’s no option for pickup

    • +5

      I've heard Gerry's such a bad guy he deliberately delays delivery then personally visits each customers house so that he can laugh in their faces. I don't know the answer to your question though. Gerry bad.

      • +2

        Well he is a scumbag. 22 million taken in jobkeeper payments while making 460M+ during Covid.

        • +2

          Still pays more tax in Australia than Amazon

        • -1

          Well almost all businesses are going to take advantage of government incompetence like Job Keeper. Don't think labour is any better. They've got their chance to screw up now.

  • +1

    But is it any good?

  • How do we contact amazon to ask them to price match? Thought there used to be a button where we could tell them…

  • +1

    My mate is reviewing this for Ausgamers right now…

    So far

    • Amazing visually
    • Great atmosphere
    • Different evade system changes it from Dead Space.

    Recommended!

  • +3

    Priced matched PS5 $78 at JB via online chat.

    Can't wait for Friday to pick this up!

    Love gory horror games with gross death animations haha

  • Screw Gerry though.
