More Bugs Found in 360 Games  by Liam S at 22:14

XBox
CVG have a report on a little bug that can be found in the Xbox 360 version of Call Of Duty 2, it's not quite of King Kong proportions though.

Anyone who doesn't own Call of Duty 2 on Xbox 360 (and that's assuming you own an Xbox 360), buy it. It's great. If you do own it, then beware an evil, tiny bug that can screw up your saved game data and force you to execute a tactical withdrawal back to the start of the game.

There is apparently a work around for it, and Activision are in the process of fixing the problem asap!

You can hardly say console programmers are shit.. I mean look at PC releases.. the game comes out and there's a patch the next day to fix the 300 problems they left in to release the game on time. At least with the 360 and the HDD they can patch things too. PC's are probably to blame for that.

programing for consoles and pc are totally different. pc's have millions of hardware configurations to take into account. console dev is for one specific piece of HW

Thanks for prooving my point D3CYPH3R. You'll have to face the fact that more time is spent on console games then PC's. PC games can be released with crashes and bugs. Yes, console games have bugs but if a crash is found then it won't be released until it's fixed.

The quality of polish in console games is superior to PC games. I would say the main reason for the first of the 360 games having such bad bugs is because these games were being made while M$ were probably still ****ing about with their dev kits.

BTW, no programming for PC's is not as different as you may think.

Oh yes!

Different hardware configs is only one of two reasons why PC games are buggier


Why not register and have your say?
