Okay, fair enough. I’m actually one of those people that’s looking forward to seeing their third person AAA real time RPG. Turn based is fine but I prefer real time combat because it’s faster and seeing them go from the AA isometric turn based RPG to pretty much the opposite is welcomed by me.
Yeah, it’s normal. Sometimes a store page goes live before the preorder is available.
Judgement, for example, didn’t even give us the opportunity to preorder.

This is a question I’ve had for some time. Does the developer have any say on whether or not their games support Quick Resume? I think QR doesn’t work for all games, but would that be the fault of Microsoft, or of the specific developers? Or, well, no one’s fault at all.

It’s more so on the developers on how their game / game engine handles what were previously unexpected events, like network disconnects, controller disconnects, time leaps, other odd things that may happen now because of being hibernated / resumed.

The OS sends the game a message if it resumes after Suspend/QuickResume. There are games (even from Microsoft like seasonal changes in FH4) simply not handling these events correctly. This happens since the launch of Xbox One.

@brunopcosta1 You have a comma instead of a dot on one of the GB numbers:
The horror!
I just couldn’t live with it

Fixed, thanks!
In my country we use commas instead of dots to separate decimals, so I have to switch them everytime I copy and paste from my spreadsheet

Checked out a YouTube video about this game and it legit looks awesome, was very surprised.
What’s the genre? I also was interested by the art style and the fell, but I didn’t really understood the gameplay style.
Seems to be an adventure game in which you use tools like a vacuum to find resources and explore the map, and also little minion-like creatures to help you with combat and resource collecting. Reminds me of Pikmin, actually

That’s what it makes me think of. I’m pretty excited for this game. Almost more excited for this than Resident Evil. Mostly because I’m in the mood for this kind of game over a horror game at the moment.
