Sethos Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 First betas are to correct any issues before it hits retail, now it's to ready patches for the retail?

Hopefully for the game before retail, however be sensible, not everything will always will be fixed for retail if you're operating a beta in a few weeks time frame. Look at how many patches PC multiplayer games get after retail. Console will no different as complexity levels are practically on par between the platforms now.

houlty Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 First betas are to correct any issues before it hits retail, now it's to ready patches for the retail?Sorry but your arguments on some topics constantly change to fit the situation :/ have to agree with Sethos on this one. beta's are not for patches, they are for the first release of the game. fair enough, there may be little glitches that come to light, or upgrades, that warrant a patch. but, basic gameplay should be ready for a game going gold.

Um what do you mean by that? I think developers would disagree there houlty. There's a good reason all, if not pretty much all the PS betas have been the online components of the games. Getting the SP component completed and tested is easily done internally (how many patches do you see for SP? Not many. The PS2 had NO patches), online is much more complex and issues are going to arise before retail release, at retail release and into the future. You shouldn't be shipping completely broke games, I do agree there, but saying a beta is not for testing/compiling of patches you're going to need to release is just plain silly. That is the NUMBER ONE priority of a beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houlty Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Um what do you mean by that?I think developers would disagree there houlty. disagree with what? proper beta's are for making sure a game works correctly "out of the box". what about games without online access? oh, those developers must work differently, right? the purpose of a beta is not for a game to be working correctly at 1.0x, its for it to be working correctly at 1.00. this is regardless of it being online or not. unless, of course, you misunderstood what i said?

Yeah they do, how many public SP only beta's do you see? Online needs tested for far more than SP. the purpose of a beta is not for a game to be working correctly at 1.0x, its for it to be working correctly at 1.00. Yes it is, but things are going to go wrong regardless of how much testing you do. Find a popular online game that hasn't been patched? Also check how many online games had sticky launches, a fair few, but no, not all of them I know that. WoW recently went ###### up with the Lich King patch. Clearly much more going on in WoW than LBP, but that's the nature of the online component, so much can go wrong. If it's fixed quickly, good, if it lasts weeks then no, not good. Still a bad launch for MM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted November 1, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted November 1, 2008 (Y) LittleBigPlanet to import images by ChristmasTalking at GameCity in Nottingham today, Alex Evans was asked about the lack of image import in LittleBigPlanet. The news? He confirmed that this was only pulled from the release of the game because of time constraints, and that the image import tool would be released by Christmas. For those (many) people that were upset to hear that the PlayStation Eye was going to be the only image import option this will indeed be (completely non-religious) music to their ears. We?ll have more news from GameCity soon, so keep checking back. Source: http://www.ps3attitude.com/new/2008/11/lit...s-by-christmas/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
