Konami recently announced that the company will be releasing a patch for the Silent Hill HD collection. The patch promises to fix many “frame-rate and audio-syncing issues.” And it will only be released for the PS3 version of the game.
The Xbox 360 version of the Silent Hill collection will receive no such thing. Konami’s explained their reasoning behind the decision: ”Plans for an Xbox 360 title update have been cancelled due to technical issues and resources.”
That’s code for it’s going to cost too much to fix.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid publisher Konami has reported record profits this year, driven largely by its video games and amusements.
$40k for a patch, gtfo! Typical MS and their ripoff pricing! I don't blame Konami for not doing it at that price.
I've been hearing 40k, 10k, 1k - I don't even know what's true. I agree it is a ridiculous amount, considering it's 'supposed' to fix a game on their platform, but the issue and responsibility ultimately lies in the hands of the developer of said game.
When a developer can't fix their own game because of a huge pay-wall, there's a problem with the system. Consumers end up screwed.
That said, Konami shouldn't have shipped a broken game.
