Farsight hates europe

[Urbanshenkie]

ah so the american dudes get 2.02 version and europe still have to wait to go out the beta 1.0
1.0 version is laggy. why cant you atleast update the software...

woooo emergency update for the american pinball freaks. 2 updates in 1 week
and whe still have 1.0 beta so to speak...

dont expect kickstarter money from europe.

Sorry for the message I forgot you wer in EU

 

[Urbanshenkie]

Its ok.. it's not you to blame......

 

[Squid]

Is it FarSight or Sony that should be blamed? I legitimately don't know.

 

[Jeff Strong]

It sounds like Sony is the issue...for some reason they take much longer to approve content in Europe.

 

[Sinistar]

Sony Europe apparently has sooo many store submissions they had to curb any new submissions to catch up with their backlog. FarSight can do nothing about it , except wait their turn .

@ Urbanshenkie the update we got was a quick fix , the prior update added tables for a version of the game you don't even have yet . What Im saying is think of the North American market as guinea pigs if it helps , were experiencing the bugs that will probably have updates ready for you by the time your DLCs arrive , you will get a more polished product after they learn about the bugs.

Yeh content... But why no update without dlc ??
Whe still at 1.0

Any update, with or without DLC, has to go through the submission/approval process.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

The update was for trophy support for the DLC's #1 #2 and since you dont have any DLC you dont get an update.

 

[Urbanshenkie]

Ok lets wait some more then... even the US demo was better playable
Demo here is also 1.0....

Also luck for us Sony owners : Sony has to approve store content through a long delayed approval process , but they do not restrict game patches in the same way.

FarSight has to pay microsoft $ 40,000 for each patch on the X Box 360 , and that means no quick updates for it .They issue the patches once DLC is ready .

That's just the hand they were dealt , don't fault them for being truthful about the red-tape they have to hurdle.

 

[DarkAkatosh]

I thought you only have to pay for a patch of it doesn't add to the game. Additionally MS and Sony allow one free patch, from what I read somewhere.

All people here knows "williams pinball hall of fame" for the ps3... Did they ever update that game ?????
I know the europe version with a other name "williams pinball classics" is still at 1.0.. and it never updated..

 

[Sinistar]

Sure we know it, IN FACT the Europe version PS3 is better than USA's , because they did update it on disk before releasing it .

 

[Urbanshenkie]

you mean the williams collection ??? How many updates did the american version of williams got ???

 

[Sinistar]

Let me clarify that , from what I know , and it's not much (anyone who owns the rare PS3 Williams Collection, correct me when I get it wrong) because I dont have it on PS3 (too rare to find) , the PS3 American version was not updated itself, but when FarSight later released the game in Europe, it had many fixes based on the feedback they gathered from the U.S. release .

i think xbox360 european money for the kickstarter is quite safe - m$ has a worldwide release for all dlc games, whereas sony has a european branch, which handles things, lets say just a 'little' different, than the us one...

SINISTAR I own it. US WPHoF I could delete my save and game utility and see if it tries to update.

You're so lucky , I've bidded on Ebay auctions for it several times , and always lose , no way im paying over $30 for it , not until my finances straighten out anyways.

Makes certain you delete not only the save, but the game folder which will hold updates as well .

For our European friends , here's a link with an article on one indie developer's issue with Microsoft and patching their game, FEZ.

You can glimpse the type of regulatory processes a humble game developer runs into just trying to perfect their games.
