Anderson_8 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 How come we that have downloaded the demo and have only been playing the game for a matter of hours are able to identify bugs such as injuries (again, how many series will this bug keep showing up?), own goals, closing down, double lettering etc.. ..and you testers and developers have been doing so for a year and it's somehow incredibly slipped by? Sheer incompetance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ritchie Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It's easy to identify problems. It's much harder to fix them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson_8 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 It's easy to identify problems. It's much harder to fix them. Well then it shouldn't be released IMO. You don't release a game that isn't even finished, or if you know it's riddled with bugs. Or am I wrong on this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suge Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'll give you a Mars bar if you can name any pre-release game demo in history without bugs. The whole point of a demo is to generate feedback ready for a patch that will probably be available around release day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't release a game that isn't even finished, or if you know it's riddled with bugs.Or am I wrong on this? I don't think anyone can deny that the principle is right. But things don't work like that in computer games any more. Games get released, then they get patched. Pretty often they'll get patched again.

KOP Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Why don't SI release a demo of the demo to the general public ... Then most of the bugs would be fixed for the demo - rather than letting the chimps test it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Ritchie Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Again, fixing is different to identifying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suge Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Why don't SI release a demo of the demo to the general public ... Then most of the bugs would be fixed for the demo - rather than letting the chimps test it? The demo is made when the full game is completed so you would still get the bugs. The best they can do is offer a patch on release day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suge Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 what about the people who dont have access to the patch. If you can download the demo then you can download the patch. I'm guessing the patch will be under 10megs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
