Whenever a new movie prequel is announced, even the core audience that loved the original work sometimes responds with a resounding ugh. Who can blame anyone for dismissing out of hand the marketing formulation that gave us 2007’s Hannibal Rising, 1979’s Butch and Sundance: The Early Days, or 2004’s Exorcist: The Beginning? Prequels tell stories where the end has been predetermined, often without beloved key actors, prompting unflattering comparisons to inimitable classics. (Like what happened with the Star Wars prequel movies.)
The Day Before suffers another delay, will launch in Early Access at $39

Upcoming Survival MMO The Day Before has been delayed again, to the shock of no one. A post on the official The Day Before Twitter account confirmed that the legal battle over the right to keep the games name, and that the Store Page had been restored by Valve. But the same post also revealed that the games release had been pushed back to December 7 at 10 a.m. PT.

The post also announced that “since this is our first huge game”, the decision was made to launch The Day Before into Early Access as opposed to being a full release. Also, the price will be $39 for Early Access and then raised to $49 when the full version releases later.
I can’t say I’m surprised about the delay, as we were nearing the previous release date without any recent information. However, it is a bit telling to last minute consider a game Early Access as opposed to fully releasing.
For reference, Steam has different rules for Early Access releases.
“Steam Early Access enables you to sell your game on Steam while it is still being developed, and provide context to customers that a product should be considered “unfinished.” Early Access is a place for games that are in a playable alpha or beta state, are worth the current value of the playable build, and that you plan to continue to develop for release.”
The Day Before is now scheduled to release on Steam on December 7.

Recycling the Universe with Space Trash Scavenger Early Access Release Trailer - Hardcore Gamer
The universe is bigger than anyone can imagine and filled with infinite riches, but that doesn’t mean the best bits are all equally easy to get to. Mankind lost a war for the Outer Reach a long, long time ago, ceding control to the aliens known as Entity, but a thousand years of peace is enough to make a corporation’s greed override its fear. Not only is the Outer Reach filled with resource-intensive planets but it’s also got the wreckage of the space war floating about, mostly untouched by time thanks to the preservative powers of the vacuum of space. That’s a loot-haul that’s hard to resist, so the ScavCorp has sent out a few agents to see what they can find.
