Did the 360 patch ever get released?
No. But if it’s any consolation, the PS3 version just got some DLC in the form of hard rock music for the game.
Tekken 6 is a month away and the hype for Super Street Fighter IV is just getting started…
And still no patch, WTF?! :lame:
man it breaks my heart.
the fighting is so good but you just cant play it at all.
dead game is dead :\
How hard is it to really put a patch through approval with microsoft. Id imagine even by this point you cant use the excuse that the game “isnt a priority.” Its laughably depressing.
Remember Castle Crashers was one of their big guns and that got MONTHS of delays for a patch. Microsoft most likely wants ALL the issues fixed as in a true fix for the online. They are probably still working on it.
I know I’m stating the obvious here but its OCt 1 and still no patch. Such a shame, the gameplay here was fantastic but as it stands now the game is pretty much officially dead.
KOF12 gameplay is amazing. If this game had good netcode at launch it would of been very sucessfull just because of the deep fighting engine would outshine the rest of its shortcommings.
This is very true. And I am blaming microsoft for the patch not being out now.
Also, yes, the gameplay is super solid, and that makes the whole situation sad.
It’s $90 new.
That’s half the reason I bought it instead of sticking to the Arcade, cheapest not-shovelware game in Australia in a loooong time.
While I am in the boat of “Balance and fun are what matters” you should hop on the Ignition Forums, there are dozens of people there willing to disagree with you, people just want lots of characters and extra modes to justify a purchase these days.
u forgot BB:CS too
what a shame, and we are waiting just a single shitty (and c’mon, useless) patch for the online.
snkp sign is death/failure/breakdown.
My game has been sitting in its case since a week after it came out. I bought it day one. Played all week. Hit up training mode, looked online…had a good time. I could se ehow fun and brilliant the game play mechanics were. I decided the put it down so I could play a bunch of MvC2. I thought “I’l put it down for a while to play MvC2 and by the time I get bored of it, the net patch will be out and I’ll be able to really kick training into high gear”
A month or 2 went by…I got sick of MvC2 ( Fun as fuck, I just suck at it) "Oh great looks like the patch is almost out!!
Waiting…
Sad state of affairs. Its a shitty beginning/end to such a great looking/playing game. Back to gamestop you go my friend…
The other sad thing is, I’ve had the idea that this first one was just kind of a test, and that in a year or 2 the REAL new king of Fighters game would be out. This release was so botched that I think most people won’t bother to pick it up, even if its net code actually works.
Man, I got all caught up in other games and stuff, and just remembered to check on this patch, only to find out it STILL isn’t out.
I think that’s the nail in the coffin.
And that’s what kills me. I’ve heard so many people over the years complain in so many other games that “If they had only worked on balance/mechanics instead of (insert extra cirricular mode here)…” that you’d almost think that the fighting game community, a community supposingly dedicated to intellgent, higher fighting game gameplay, would embrace a game that’s so bullshit free.
A game finally comes out with the most solid, balanced cast/system ever, and people won’t play it because of a one player experience/lack of a easy broke tier character. Sigh.
Wow, still no patch? Jeez, we better get some crazy good online play for those who are holding it out, but it’s a shame to see such a good game die. I really prefer KOFXII out of SF4 and BB. =(
jesus… it looks like this patch will NEVER come out.
-dime
i would have prefered not to have patch 1 at all then since it introduced many game breaks.
What are you talking about? You didn’t get the patch with the new Mai animations that has the nip slip if you perfect you opponent twice in a row. Shit is bad ass gais!!!
Just because of that I play this extremely well priced game EVERY day!!
Your patch sucks. My patch added Vanessa and Heavy D. Heavy D is the fucking shit in this game. His punch combos easily beat anything Balrog or Dudley could ever do. And the taunt animations they added look fucking incredible.
