DLC Release Date

[Nik Barbour]

It's gone awfully quiet. Hope I'm not worried for nothing.

If you listen quietly, you can almost hear the nail biting.
(I'm nearly at the knuckle now).

 

[xNiCeGuYx]

I really hope something will happen today.

 

[RKade8583]

It's 3:00am and it's not coming today.

 

[Carl Spiby]

It's 11:11am.

 

[xNiCeGuYx]

And 12:12 pm in germany.

DLC on Tuesdays doesn't normally land until about 2pm GMT

So there is still some hope.

So there is still some hope.

The Marketplace has already updated with new DLC, so no DLC Tables this week. Looks like we may only be getting the Optional Update by this Thursday (hopefully).

This whole thing has been the biggest pisser I've ever seen. I now hate that I chose MS over PS3... and now it's too late for me to change back. THOUSANDS of dollars... sigh.

I don't use facebook on principle.

zzzz... huh? what? No DLC today? Oh, yeah that's what I expected. (goes back to sleep)

 

[The Amazing Psych-Man]

Interesting... weren't the first couple approved months ago? Can't imagine why they wouldn't finally get released now.

So sad that the first version completed is the last to make it to market.

I wonder if there is going to be a never ending DLC issue with microsoft since it sounds like the new tables will always require a title update to go with the DLC.

At this point I'm most looking forward to Creature From the Black Lagoon and The Twilight Zone (I have penciled in some time in November 2013 to play them so I hope they are out by then).

I still have the 1600 point xbla card that I bought in December of 2011 when I heard the Gottlieb Collection was coming! It is ready and waiting... I would have used it on TPA but I got 800 points for signing up for some xbox program.

Here is to hoping for next Tuesday...

be a never ending DLC issue with microsoft

Oh don't worry about that; it'll end.

It will end when FarSight go the Phil Fish route w.r.t. Microsoft's XBLA cert process (i.e. say the hell with it).

The neverending story

 

[laughing_lunatic]

I realise that FarSight have invested time and money on the XBOX360 and that the format is their development platform, but at what point does the law of diminishing returns kick in ? I mean, I was in a happy position in that I was planning on getting a PS3 anyway, and really glad I did for a number of reasons including that I can play CV, MM, FH & BoP on TPA...

Could it get to a point where the cost in monetary terms, of dealing with M$ in putting out DLC's, and the cost in terms of the XBOX360 fanbase that abandon the 360 for greener pastures and play TPA on something else and not want to support multiple formats like we "hardcore" fans do, would result in it not commercially viable for FarSight to deal with this fiasco anymore ? I would imagine that everytime M$ whine about this not being right, or that not being right, some poor soul(s) out there in Big Bear has to burn the midnight oil implementing remedial actions... they need to get paid, they use electricity that needs to be paid for etc, etc... it's has got to be getting VERY expensive...

 

[Brandon Debes]

Could it get to a point…

It is not at all difficult to imagine it getting to that point. There have been numerous other stories exactly like that, including Costume Quest and FEZ (most notably/recently).

 

[Carl Spiby]

I still can't believe the only communication they have with the Xbox live team is through email, what a complete joke of a set up Microsoft have.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

so the XBOX is easier to create the game on yet its the hardest to produce on...need to learn programing on a PS3. New table every month 2pac=2months. Its almost AUGUST

Yes, this kind of communication is a bad joke! Is it that hard for MS to give us steady release date?!
