Saints Row 2 'won't be bug free' admits dev

Volition, developer of upcoming open-world gangster epic Saints Row 2, has admitted that the game "won't be bug free" when it's released at some point this year.

Speaking at the unveiling of the game in London, Volition's Greg Donovan, producer on Saints Row 2, went on to say that he believes no game is ever released bug free, and detailed what the team was doing to ensure that Saints Row 2, which is coming out on Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime this year, will be as polished as possible,

Of course a game won't be completely and totally bug free and hopefully devs will do what they can to make it minimal.

Every dev on earth can say what this guy said.

JoelR6315d ago

Exactly - no piece of software that is complex will be free of error/bugs. It's common sense and common knowledge (or at least common knowledge to developers).

BrianC62346315d ago

I agree, why even talk about this? Nobody thinks any software is bug free. Games are complicated. Even on consoles. You can't test everything. There will be bugs. That's why you do updates. It's no big deal.

@BrianC6234

Oh I beg to differ!

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("Hello, world!\n");

exit(0);
}

Bug free!

calis6315d ago

That its. Instead of improving just accept mediocrity and do nothing about it. Did EA buy them?

permutated6315d ago

Agreed.

Don't push back the release date or anything, to make the game better and therefor sell more copies.

Good games are fun for 2 months and get shelved, perfect games get played forever.

Dorfdad6315d ago

FU man release the game when its not so craptastic! Pay some people to actually QA the damn thing.. Lazy developers for the lose.

Horrible trend That Microsoft is allowing these to happen on consoles now.. Back in the day they NEVER allowed this and with XBOX they allowed Patching which opened pandoras box..

Zinny6315d ago

Yeah I mean there were no crappy games on the PS1 or N64! Everyone was perfect and bug free.

zane5476315d ago

Singling out Microsoft is no good here. The sequel is for both 360 and PS3.

You bought an Xbox6315d ago

Then they can shove this Assains creed clone,GTA4 wannabe up their
ass

SL1M DADDY6315d ago

It's sad too, I remember the days when you bought a game, it worked from start to finish and you never had the devs admiting to releasing a game incomplete. I say delay the game and release a more complete product. That is just MHO.

You know usually when someone says "you may have missed" it's games that were lesser known, hidden gems, underrated games. These are all super high profile games that sold extremely well.

FPS_D3TH908d ago (Edited 908d ago )

You know the 2000s is 20 years ago too? Maybe, just maybe this wasn’t an article targeted to 30+ gamers? Still says at the very beginning of the title “THE BEST GAMES you may have missed”. Regardless of how well they sold there’s tons of gamers who haven’t touched these older well known games lol.

Welshy908d ago (Edited 908d ago )

It's games you "may have missed", insinuating you were around and gaming in the 2000's and were there to miss them. If it was aimed at everyone else then they missed literally everything, not just the top games.

The original commenter is right, this is a badly written article at best pointless at worst.

Crows90908d ago

Besides only being able to miss it if you were around during that time..if your point stands then this is a horrible list. Tons of better games people may have missed

XxINFERNUSxX908d ago

I would like the original max payne remade in a new engine with ray tracing. 😊

FPS_D3TH908d ago

Remedy games already working on that and I’m so stoked for it

XxINFERNUSxX908d ago

Oh yeah thanks for reminding me I totally forgot they were doing it. Also what the hell happened to Kingpin: Reloaded? On Steam coming soon and nohting from the dev.

MadLad908d ago

Yeah, I was just going to say. It's interesting seeing them back behind the series. Max Payne 3 was amazing, but then Rockstar just sat on the IP.
Well, they sit on virtually anything that isn't GTA and Red Dead now.

porkChop908d ago

What is this list? These are all hugely popular games. I was expecting games like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Advent Rising, Arx Fatalis, etc.

FPS_D3TH908d ago

the title didn’t say lesser known titles from the 2000s. This is 20 years ago now lol. Big assumption this list was made for older gamers.

Dirty_Lemons908d ago

That makes me feel so old.

Inverno908d ago

I've only played 3 on that list. Part of me feels bad about how little I used all the consoles I've owned as a kid. One bright side is, there's over 30 years of games to experience for the first time.

Games with Gold is a constant joke. They should really merge it with GamePass.

CrimsonIdol1819d ago

I mean, it IS merged with Game pass. you get game pass you get games with gold.

Monster_Tard1819d ago

No GWG aren't included with Game Pass, unless it's Game Pass Ultimate.

CrimsonIdol1819d ago

Ah my mistake, I have ultimate. But now that you mention it I do remember them getting me with the upsell, seemed a bit silly not to spend the couple bucks extra for Xbox live (and I guess also games with gold).

darthv721820d ago

Dunk Lords has a sort of NBA Jam vibe to it so that might be fun. I like rally racers but much prefer the Sega type (arcade style) over the more realistic ones. So that may be a pass. I already have SR2 on disc so I dont need that one. Juju looks cute in a DKC/Rayman sort of way so that might be worth a try. Overall though... its pretty bland month.

RgR1820d ago

Not sure who the target audience for this month was but it aint me.

DragonWarrior191820d ago

Hmmm well Saints Row 2 is something.

ps3rider1819d ago

Honestly the gold term here was a bad choice .. when it says gold it give impress there is silver and bronze before.

PS+ name is better
