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.

JoelR6670d 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).

BrianC62346670d 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!

calis6671d ago

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

permutated6670d 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.

Dorfdad6670d 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..

Zinny6670d ago

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

zane5476670d ago

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

You bought an Xbox6670d ago

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

SL1M DADDY6670d 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.

Saints Row 2's Juiced Patch makes the PC port so much better it's criminal

Drive it like you stole it.

Broken Games That Never Got Fixed

While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.

Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since

joab777304d ago

Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.

Christopher303d ago

I wouldn't call NMS broken at release, just under-delivered.

Michiel1989304d ago

junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,

-Foxtrot304d ago

Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.

Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.

One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?

gold_drake303d ago

i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha

Ashunderfire86303d ago

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.

Ten best games from the 2000s you may have missed

The 2000s was a great decade for a lot of brilliant video games. Here are the ten best games of the 2000s that you may not have played.

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_D3TH1264d ago (Edited 1264d 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.

Welshy1264d ago (Edited 1264d 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.

Crows901263d 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

XxINFERNUSxX1264d ago

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

FPS_D3TH1264d ago

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

XxINFERNUSxX1264d 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.

MadLad1263d 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.

porkChop1264d 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_D3TH1264d 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_Lemons1263d ago

That makes me feel so old.

Inverno1264d 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.
