![]() They went ahead with the PSP store shutdown, and they're still sunsetting many of the online features of the PS3/Vita, just not the entire store at this time. Sony's PS3/Vita move was extremely aggressive, and they're now just delaying it to a later date. "Servers will be kept online indefinitely" - no, not going to happen. The Asian English physical cartridge also reports 'version 1.0', but I think that's relative to the Asian/Japanese release, in which Ghostrunner wasn't even released digitally until January 2021, so their 1.0 seems to correlate to our 1.2. I'm not sure if the PEGI release is any different. Even the Asian/JPN releases just default to blood being off - you can enable it in the menus. I've rewatched launch trailers and initial reviews, and all show blood, so I'm not sure there was ever a time when the Nintendo Switch version was bloodless. Killing enemies is entirely bloodless, and the blood setting is missing from the Settings menu. Weirder still, it doesn't seem to have any way to enable blood. ![]() ![]() This is the very first version ever released on Switch back in October 2020. No 3D/animated main menu, so definitely not 1.3 or newer and the counter UI is in the top middle instead of the bottom right, so not 1.2 either. ![]() And it's not just the software version number that tells me this, you can tell from the actual content of the game. The official Ghostrunner Twitter account advertised that the Switch physical edition would contain "every update released thus far" (example: ), but the USA/ESRB retail copy I purchased instead contains the original 1.0 version. Ghostrunner seems to be an example of this. That's obviously impossible in lots of situations (i.e., any where patches are released after the physical release), and it's not something that's super important to a lot of people, so I don't go out of my way to complain when it doesn't happen - but I am annoyed when a publisher specifically advertises this for a physical release and then fails to follow through. I personally am a fan of physical releases that contain all of the available patches/updates so you have a better version of the game preserved without relying on the continued presence of servers. ![]()
