Dead Nation Patch: Do Not Update

It appears that the patch for Dead Nation that went live last night has a few problems. The following has been posted by Housemarque on the Dead Nation Facebook page:

We are investigating a possible save game problem which occurs after patch v1.06 which was released last night. We have received reports that in some cases the patch resets the campaign progress. In the meantime please do not update if you are worried about losing your campaign progress.

This might be a problem if you have PS+ as by the time you get home Dead Nation may have patched itself.

They need to just remove the patch so no one else could download it.

waltyftm5331d ago

Well said, was going to have a game of co-op today on this, but Red dead has bears to be killed.

lorianguy5331d ago

Exactly. It's not hard to do, is it Sony?

DarkTower8055331d ago

Seems pretty obvious right? What's up with the patch though. I wasn't aware of any issues to begin with.

KwietStorm_BLM5331d ago

It's likely for the DLC coming next week.

KwietStorm_BLM5331d ago

Well I hope my system didn't auto download. I completed the game a while back though, so this shouldn't matter, right? Does the coming DLC have any ties to anything you already completed?

Kleptic5331d ago

well if it did, you can still delete the patch out the game data section of the xmb...it might not corrupt your save data until you actually try to load the game...

either way, that wouldn't hurt anything...but may not save your save file...

KwietStorm_BLM5331d ago

Yea I was thinking that, but also since I already have a save file uploaded to online storage, I should be good either way. I could just delete the broken file and download the good one.

Arkham5331d ago

Like: PS+
Don't Like: Auto-Update
Love: Cloud Save Storage

LoneWanderer095331d ago

Hopefully mine did not auto-download since am about to finish Grim Mode

jriquelme_paraguay5331d ago

Lol... i think this was for Dead Island... and think "No waaaaaay.. again?"

Lol

Aquanauts Holiday at $500. Nice

I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.

Profchaos697d ago

I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions

Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .

P_Bomb697d ago

I still have Afrika. Who knew it’d be worth something?

MrBaskerville697d ago

Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.

Chocoburger697d ago

She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

The VR version of Stardust is an incredible experience, even for those that get VR sickness, the game gives you the feeling of floating in the vastness of space, but the motion sickness is removed, its colorful, flashy, and amazing to play

IBD Podcast #13 - Housemarque and mastering the twin-stick shooter

Housemarque is famed for its downloadable console games including Super Stardust, Dead Nation, Alienation, PS4 launch title Resogun and now Nex Machina. The veteran Finnish developer has made a name for itself crafting, precise, polished, technically accomplished and visually striking titles in publishing partnership with Sony.

With its latest title, Nex Machina, launching for both PS4 and PC, Housemarque is taking its first step into self-publishing. Working in collaboration with pioneering developer Eugene Jarvis, who created arcade classics such as Defender, Robotron: 2084 and Smash TV, Nex Machina represents both a refinement and evolution of Housemarque's design principles, as well as an opportunity for the developer to directly benefit from establishing and retaining its own IP.

Here, Housemarque CEO Ilari Kuittinen and head of publishing Mikael Haveri discuss how the decision to self-publish has led to greater autonomy, a collaboration with Eugene Jarvis and how a game titled "Death Machine" could mean a new lease of life for the company.
