Good to hear because I'll not be buying it if this is true. Even if I was buying digital I won't support practices like this just out of principle. Also yea first thing I thought of when I saw the twitter account was is this legit or just a random troll.
*edit*
Good to hear that this is just a troll. Now bring on the game. Damn MS and their lack of pre-loading.

This info is inaccurate.
The game has the same installation steps that other Xbox One and PS4 games have out there, and particularly on PS4, it installs very quickly (I was surprised how fast it was).
I can tell you that I've played the game on my PS4 and Xbox One without having a retail patch installed at home, and showing the game during a livestream as early as Tuesday, the game was not installing a day 1 patch.
Thanks for the good news on this.

Thats even worse !
I'm surprised so many took this as gospel and went overboard. Bet some of that shit sticks regardless and some sales will be lost.
I'm lost for words.
Wow.
I'm lost for words.

Check the source before you post people, Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. Before you know it, some second rate blog will start pushing it as fact.

Thanks gstaff! Pre-order remains pre-ordered.

Thank you for the update! Even though I have no issues with downloading patches I know others are not as lucky.
LOL
I cant access Twitter at work and people were talking about it in the OT so all I could do was post the link. If I couldve seen it, I wouldve been able to tell it was BS. Glad it's cleared up.

Is there a source besides Twitter for the 7,3 Gigabyte Day 1 patch?

Come on guys... saying any Bethesda game is 'playable' without the patch is kind of an exaggeration.
They basically sell betas to their games, we all know it.

OP needs to be updated ASAP, multiple sources confirm the falsehood of this.

Uh
Bethsoft is not the developer.
Bethesda is the publisher.
MachineGames is the developer.
If you have a slow internet connection, your game is a coaster until that patch finishes (if the patch is required for the game to run).
Your comment is no better than that tweet.
I don't know off hand, I'll see if I can find out.
Just a little more on my experience playing the game. Once you put in the disc on PS4, the game becomes playable quickly. Like most of you I'm new to the next gen experience, so I'm not 100% sure that it's not continuing to install the game in the background, but it's fully playable in a matter of minutes. (I know other games, like NBA2K, let you play the game while it's installing, but in a limited capacity... Spurs vs. Heat with music instead of commentary.)
While we're at it, I've also played on Xbox One at home (and live with Machinima) without the title update. As soon as you put the game in, like other Xbox One titles, the game begins installing. Somewhere between 10 & 20%, it becomes "Ready to Play". After that, the game will continue to install in the background.

I don't remember the exact size but yes there will be a (multi-gigabyte) day one patch. We had another thread on it.
Are you going to share them or should I start scouring the whole internet?
Thought it was obvious I was being sarcastic dude.

Here's the video. I just did a quick screen grab with the play button up.

Correct -- As I just got back from LA, I can attest to the fact that it works without the patch installed. I've actually never played the game with it installed.
Thank you for giving accurate info.

The sources are gstaff and myself in this very thread. At least that I know off.

Oh, thank god that the patch wasn't an activation one. Hype maintained.

I'm wondering if they even plan to release the "definitive patched edition" with dlc in a year or so. I don't feel like downloading 20GB of data with patch 1,2,3,4 and then another X amount of GB for DLC

Because it's a negative story. We don't need sources or verification before we start the rage circle.
You'd think after the Dodd/Driveclub debacle people would think twice about jumping on a story as fact. That shit can have real consequences.

Lock it down!
Keeping it around a bit longer so more people who saw it before the debunking can see it was fake. One of the US or Euro mods can lock it down after I sleep.

Let's just discuss the new trailer here then: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=819457
??? You go out to buy a SP game, go back home and can't play it because your internet is not working (no matter why). A SP game not working out of the box with no warning label on the package or something? That would not have been concerning to you? And even if the internet is working, not everybody has the speed to power through a 5-7 GB patch in one day (i have).

We figured that if the thread got past cert that it'd be reliable.

Let's be real. It would have been accepted had it been any publisher.
Yeah, gigantic patches seem fairly common in this generation
are you sure that poster even downloaded the day 1 patch for this thread..? maybe he is missing vital info..

Did you get this from Redbox?

This is my problem with it.
I have great internet speed were i live, but thats not the point. As a collector - who is willing to support the guys who create my games - Its all about game preservation.
If its true that Wolfenstein wont work out of the box, or that i cant play the game from start to finish without the patch, then i`m not willing to "waste" my money on a game with an expiration date.
I wanted to buy Wolfenstein day one, but now not anymore. I will wait and see how this unfoldes.
