“Weeks” Of Patches Announced for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Ahead Of Release

The first patch is scheduled to be released on launch day.

This is the state of gaming today.

Games are much more complex today. How big was the file size and code of games pre-patch era. How many games could have been improved had a patch been available? I don't mean to say devs don't use it as a crutch in many ways, but to discount the complexity of modern games is to not see how far we have come.

I will say it is annoying when they release an obviously unfinished game. 1 hour in on ps5 and I can't say that about this one. It has minor occasional tearing on perf mode for the first 30 minutes.

I havent played it myself but the pc version of last of us seems to be one of those unfinished games; no idea how naughty dog signed off on that one.

[SyntheticForm]

I don't think anyone would dispute that modern games are more complex. I think most people just don't believe that unfinished products should be sold. It's that simple.

[StarkR3ality]

The problem is twofold, games are more complex yes, and they also cost more to make. The fact that they bragged about this game been made in 3 years is kinda a stupid gloat looking back now.

Devs and publishers are not willing to accept that they are going to need longer to make these games and are pushing these things out before they're ready due to greed and the necessity to please shareholders. Look at Cyberpunk 2077, they were under massive stress from their investors to get that out the door.

2 things that need to change are Devs, publisher's, investors expectations on dev time. Things are going to take longer so therefore you need to accept the delayed return on investment and stick the course.

Another thing is revealing things way too early, I am sick to death of games being revealed and not released within a year of said annoucement. If you haven't gotten to the stage where the game is complete and you're in the stage of polishing I don't wanna hear shit. Early reveals builds up hype sure, but then it puts pressure to deliver and also adds in gamers being pissed off with delays. Gamers are impatient these days, but if you don't give them anything to look forward to until it's nearly ready you mostly avoid that.

Sorry for the rant but I'm sick of these broken ass cash grabs from these greedy as fuck companies. They are making more money than they ever had but it's never enough, absolute parasites.

[XbladeTeddy]

Games are more complex, yes, but development tools are more powerful to deal with that. Not an excuse when the tools and the manpower are there to do the job.

Excuses

[Shiore2u]

Complex at what? Most AAA games having been doing the bare minimum in terms of interactivity for awhile now despite software and hardware improvements. It's more likely due to nepotism having gotten so bad in recent years that these new bloods can't even handle the bare minimum. I work in VFX and see it in my own industry, merit is hardly the standard for getting hired that it once was.

@ Shior

There are orders of magnitude more interwoven systems that rely on each other. one small thing is coded with a missing letter and who knows what could break, who knows how traceable it is. Small example.

That said the performance based on the pc version seems to refute my ps5 version comments. They did not respect us on this one.

[excaliburps]

Where are all the 9's and perfect scores at?? LOL!

[antikbaka]

Patch road map for 10 years!

[badboyz09]

🤣🤣🤣

[MrChow666]

Yayyy patches

[StarkR3ality]

This just goes to show why I value certain YouTubers opinion over big review sites. This game in it's current state is NOT a 9/10, it's like a 6 at best. SkillUp is one of the only people who have slated the games PC performance, sub 50fps on a 4090 with no raytracing, nuts.

Another smaller YouTubers I recommend is a guy called Gaming tech, he posts HDR settings and has been diving in deeper such as performance reviews etc. He basically said that the HDR is broken on console and the performance is shit on both platforms, although the series X is much much worse in the high 30's on performance mode with much more stuttering.

[GamingSinceForever]

Don’t be ridiculous. The game will require some patches yes but to say that it isn’t an excellent game is BS. A 6/10? Really?

[StarkR3ality]

It isn't an excellent game thought is it, it's an excellent game that's borderline unplayable due to the performance issues. If you think this shit is acceptable for £70 potentially more if you got the other editions then you're part of the problem with gaming.

[GamingSinceForever]

It isn’t borderline unplayable. You are being extra emotional and you are exaggerating.
I agree the game needs some patching but it’s not that damn bad.

[StarkR3ality]

If it wasn't a game that wasn't so dependent on timing your parries and dodges maybe it wouldn't be as bad, I like you have played games with shitty frame rates and still enjoyed it, but that's usually RPG's that don't have reaction based gameplay.

If your game is jumping between 60 and 40fps with stuttering and bad frame pacing mixed in, that effects the gameplay to a massive degree. Why do you think PC players were so pissed with the Elden ring port? Another amazing game but a lot of people had to wait to play with patches and it's still not ideal to this date.

Genuinely and I mean no offence, you're either lying to yourself because you're that big of a star wars fan, you're playing on the easiest difficulty so it doesn't really matter that your timing is off, or you're trying to have an edgey opinion when nearly everyone else is saying the same as I am, especially on PC.

[StarkR3ality]

@poop

You say I'm being overly emotional yet in the same comment you agree with everything I've stated? You've just paid £70 or $ or whatever, you say that you're disappointed and feel like you've been led on, but me saying it's unacceptable is wrong?

Both you guys are the type of blokes to take back a girl after they've fucked your best friend, good luck in life 😂

[GamingSinceForever]

I’m not a Star Wars fan at all.

The difference is I’m on PS5 and not PC so if you specifically mean PC I cannot argue with that. The PS5 isn’t nearly as bad as you state.

[StarkR3ality]

Yeah I've got a PS5 and played it on there, I don't know man, if you're enjoying it then good for you, a lot of people aren't though and for me I'm sick of unfinished games ever since I got burnt by Cyberpunk, that was supposed to be a turning point for gamers but it's just been more of the same if not worse since then.

[gold_drake]

sigh
remember the times when games came finished? without any major bugs or crashes?
yea, good times.

[Ethereal]

"Just fix it later....." This is all about hype building and pulling money out of consumer wallets.

[ufo8mycat]

Lets put it this way, if this was a Sony 1st Party Studio who made the game, there wouldn’t be any performance issues.

[anast]

Makes me want to preorder.

[Solitariussaint]

Lol EA.

[Chocoburger]

Not even the Holiday season and they're rushing out games unfinished, and they can't even use Black Friday or Christmas as an excuse. Pathetic.

This is part of the reason why I've been focusing most of my gaming time with previous generations. Tired of this crap, and tried of the eventual fake apologizes when some marketing douchebag claims they had no idea their game was released in such a bad state.

[Elda]

I'm 3 hrs in & playing on the PS5. I haven't experienced any issues so far...far as gameplay.
