Xbox 360 patch, any news?

[FOZ_1983]

No que.

1) game has issues players complain it needs a patch
2) weeks later they amdit its got issues and they will patch it
3) months later they say the patch is ready
4) send it for certification with relevant company
5) they say its fine and then a couple of weeks later we get our patch, everyones happy


as it is were at stage 4 or 5.

Its straight forward to be honest, but IF MS have sent it back then to be quite frank it must be a shocking job they have done on the patch. At the end of the day its either with Anton and co or MS, we just dont know how to find out because nobody will tell us.

If everyone could establish what they know we could all piece this puzzle together, but its a bloody mass of confusion at the mo

In good time im sure we'll hear something from someone.

It's quite possible that Microsoft's QA has picked up the problems with the patch that Sony's missed (custom layouts not really working, p-51 reverting to crap flight model when using custom layouts, no engine stall sounds etc...), so it's gone back for another round of development.

If that is the case, I'd personally rather wait a little while longer for a patch that does everything it said it would, but the question then becomes whether or not the developer are willing / able to sink more money into redeveloping it.

I doubt that Microsoft bothers to QA the playability aspects of the patch. They probably just check for technical compatibility with the console and Live.

I think so

If I were a betting man I'd say the updates not out because of technical issues found during QA to do with the online game.

I don't think QA really bothers too much about game play it's a lot more technical (otherwise half the games out there wouldn't get released!). Although I am guessing!

I reckon MS have probably bounced it back to the publishers at least twice, it's been a long time.....

This is all just my theory and I'm guessing really. Maybe it'll appear.
