Joe Danger dev understands PS3 owners' anger

Eurogamer: Hello Games' Sean Murray has told Sony fans angered by Joe Danger's arrival on Xbox that he understands where they're coming from.

I'm a PS3 owner and fan and I'm not angry. Enjoy the game, it's a good one.

[andron]

Yeah. Me too. Many games have extra features when they arrive late on PS3 so I would expect the same when it goes the other way.

More players of Joe Danger only make a sequel more likely too so we could benefit down the line...

[Iroquois_Pliskin]

Im also a ps3 owner and im not angry..?

[andron]

We should all form a group. None angry PS3 owners...lol

[cloud495]

I hope the extra features come to the PSN version.

[SlickShoes]

I don't understand why anyone would be angry.

It is a great game, I am happy more people are getting the chance to play it.

[Infernostew]

People aren't angry that it's going to Xbox. They're angry because the 360 version is getting like 50 new stages and people who bought the game are getting screwed out of the extra content.

[SlickShoes]

Yeah I noticed that and posted about it in the comment below.

"They've been our playtesters for the changes we've made to Special Edition."

i dont have the game but this is what angered me

BEING CALLED A PLAY TESTER FOR A SPECIAL EDITION that wont come to a game that people already payed for

[Alos88]

"They've been our playtesters for the changes we've made to Special Edition."
OK, there are some ways you should never put things like this, and that statement is one of them.

[SlickShoes]

I did just notice that myself, thats pretty poor, the people that bought it are paying customers not playtesters.

This guy needs to go on a PR course.

[HaHa_Ostrich]

The fact that its comming to the 360 is not upsetting anybody. But I can see people start being upset about that particular statement.

[klapkip]

I don't care its coming to Xbox. Bought the game from beginning and never finished it. Poor to see we were playtesters. Shame we don't get the improvements they've made. There goes my credits to Hello Games (payed 20 euro as "play-tester" at that time)

[Starfox811]

He was talking about the people that have played it at shows when its been on display, not the original purchasers of Joe Danger. Seans and the rest of the Hello Games team aren't out to con anyone or exploit paying customers.

[nycredude]

I am glad I didn't waste my money on a beta.. Fuck this company and their games.

[baldulf]

Why be angry? It's a good game, if more people are going to enjoy it all the better.

[Jdoki]

Yeah, does rather make it sound like PS3 users were beta testers!

And if that's the case then a 'reward' would be nice... like the 50 extra levels the XBLA version is getting. :)

I'm not particularly bothered. I am waiting for the sequel.

[Optical_Matrix]

"They've been our playtesters for the changes we've made to Special Edition." OH WOW. Dat snide.

[Why o why]

Make your money guys...nobody should begrudge ya. Im 100 its only a small number of people itching, its not like that many people got it...maybe its all just pr to generate hype.

[BigBoss1964]

"They've been our playtesters for the changes we've made for the special edition"
Not exactly the smartest thing to openly say if anything that's just gonna piss more people off

[WitWolfy]

AWESOME and yet frustrating game! Now I can own it on both PS3 and Xbox 360. Awesome!

Anybody who is pissed about this should realize this is a business. And Hello games are out there to make money, and I would be more then happy buying this game a second time to show my support!

[Angerfist]

Once again a false Title, it should be "Joe Danger dev understands PS3 Fanboys anger" since most dont care if a little Download Title is on another Platform after a Year.
They are Gamers, unlike some Guys who think they are Shareholders.

[hot111]

fanboys are stupid,news at 11!

[tarbis]

Never bought the game so this does not concern me.

[Donnywho]

Do you understand your publisher's anger over the demo that played like a full version game allowing probably tens of thousands of people to satisfy themselves entirely on the game without paying for it. -Just saying-

[Donnywho]

Ahhh screw you bums. lol you dev'd and Pub'd??? Ok OK...alright I concede

[josephayal]

Anger? But Why?

[cfountain]

Playtesters???

No, we were customers. and I will be a customer that will no longer support their games.

I don't have a problem with them releasing it to XBLA but calling us, the people that made it so successful "playtesters" is just wrong. I cant support a company like that.
