More patching problems on 360: Konami cancels Silent Hill HD patch on 360

This can't be a coincidence anymore after Phil Fish from Fez, Tim Shafer from Double Fine and in the distant past Valve and John Carmack have spoken up about the backwardass gimped way of Microsoft handling patches on their console. It's time to chemotherapy that cancer to gaming into oblivion. The patch was possible on PS3, so why not on the 360? Could it be perhaps the insane amount of costs and needlessly long certification process needed for greenlighting a patch on a 360?

I'll update it if anything more is said about the cause of this, allthough we pretty much all know what that is...the cancer to gaming that is called Microsoft. Lemmings sure have it hard. No games, no patches, no online gameplay. Time for Sony to hit the weak point of the GIANT ENEMY CRAB for MASSIVE DAMAGE.

Superior service!

MS is not a cancer to the gaming industry.

lol at lems AGAIN

Yes, let's blame Microsoft for Konami putting out a broken game and refusing to patch it. That makes sense.

According to your own link:

"plans for an XBOX®360 title update have been cancelled due to technical issues and resources."

Now where in your link does it even imply that Microsoft is at fault? And even if it was, sounds like they should've spent a little more time working out the kinks before releasing it. Seeing as Microsoft didn't publish or develop the game, they aren't to blame.

Now I know fanboys such as yourself are quick to blame everything from them tripping and falling down the stairs to their dog dying on Microsoft, this doesn't seem to be Microsoft's fault.

[QUOTE="The_Game21x"]

[QUOTE="DrTrafalgarLaw"] They patched it on the PS3, what do you mean they refuse it? Unless they only had the money to patch 1 version, which I highly doubt since it's Konami and not some poor 1-man indie game developer living on 99 cents noodles each day, I really think the problem lies with Microcockblock.T-Aldous

The "technical issues" excuse is probably just PR speak. It would not be surprising if $$$ is the real issue. Actually we know $$$ is the issue because whatever "technical issues" they are having could surely be overcome with some effort and man-hours.

My guess is that MS developer/patch fees are taking up too much of the budget that could be dedicated towards a patch, so they can't fix the problem with the limited budget that is leftover. The result is to throw their hands up and say to hell with it, while PR blames "technical issues" instead of outright blaming MS. Some of the other developers that came out have basically broken off ties with MS in favor of going the steam/digital distribution route in the future, so they will say whatever the f$%^ they want (the truth). Konami of course being primarly a console developer wants to keep working with MS, so they are not going to step on any toes by directly calling out MS.

When the thing that's meant to fix technical issues is cancelled due to technical issues, someone done f*cked up.

The first patch is free. Konami don't want to spend the time and money to get it up to scratch on the 360. They obviously had a harder time getting the games running on xbox hardware than playstation hardware, thus meaning they had a lot more work to do in making the patch.

"We can't fix technical issues because of technical issues"

That makes Microsoft a cancer, yeah ok.

Well gee, who wrote the operating system that Steam runs on?

lol

MS is so terrible you can't stop using their stuff.

Why not just call a spade a spade and just say "Konami don't feel like spending $50k to put out a patch." But they sure loved getting millions from selling the game didn't they.

It is to be expected, it's Microsoft, the cancer of gaming.

Lems just got pwned. They had it coming.

Lol @ people saying they are not cancer of gaming. Of course they are! They are ruining gaming with their stupid casual trash and trying hard to make their crappy console into a "media hub". It's ridiculous. The gaming industry will feel the fresh of clean air when Microsoft goes under.

MS IS at fault. They are ALWAYS at fault. Yesterday my basketball team lost 3 out of 5 games, my softball team lost the 2nd game of a double header and today my volleyball team lost 2 both games. DAMN MS is pure evil. We would have won if not for that evil cancer that is Microsoft.

http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/03/20/sony-now-charging-publishers-for-ps3-downloadable-content/

Sony's fees add a new expense. For a demo that is sized at exactly 1GB and is downloaded one million times, that would add an extra $160,000 that Sony is now charging and that, according to publishing sources, Microsoft isn't. That's what could scare publishers from placing content on the PS

yeeah...lets see how we spin this one, effectively Sony's worse in senses you cant try before you buy stop posting drivel btw your giving an immense band a bad name,
