andysonofbob Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 On the Empire Total war forums the devs have just started to post a daily update keeping the community informed on patch progress etc I think this would be a great idea for the devs to do as it take minimal time to do and the communty seem to appreciate being kept in the loop What do you think? http://shoguntotalwar.yuku.com/topic/53425 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Do you mean Rockstar developers? I'm not sure about that forum you've linked to, but this is not the official forum for GTA. Of course, R* Toronto have an account here, but that is just to help out people having issues with the game. The Grand Theft Auto franchise has always been tightly kept under wraps for some reason. They have been as quite about the patches as they always are about the games itself. This may sound like a good idea, but unfortunately, it's not a Rockstar thing. They're just not into it.

CharmingCharlie Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 To be honest I would rather they just got on with the business of making GTA 4 even better on the PC than wasting time doing a daily update. Besides you just need to look at the Update 3 thread to see how it gets spammed to hell by users on here. I like to think that Rockstar Toronto have a bit more class than developers that do "daily developer" things they always come across to me as "oh look aint we sooooo cool" kind of efforts.

craig3000 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 TBH i think its a great idea, developers should be telling us what is going on and it only takes one guy from a team of many to post something within 5-10 minutes its hardly asking much But alas i cannot see rockstar doing this, only devs i can see doing this people like Valve and massive Nice try tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the comments dude. I obviously can't say for sure, but I believe it unlikely one member of the team spending more than 10 minutes to post brief progress reports; something which will no doubt become easier with time and forethought e.g. post a 'to-do' list which gets edited as things are completed. If you look at the link I posted, you will notice the thread is stickied at the top of the forum and also locked, consequently people can't spam it. and what has class got to do with it? Mate, I'm unsure how that comment was constructive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you smoking! Thats ridiculous. Imagine how frustrating that would be for an employee, instead of working on the patch, to put a bottle in the pc gamers baby mouth to stop thier crying of "Wherez di patchzz comz?" "Patch niw plzor". What do these people think R*T has been doing? "Sitting around doing nothing with their head up their ass?" Well I would be pretty impresses if they had and managed to squeeze out a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lollercoaster Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Forget it, it's never going to happen. It might sound rude but I am just being realistic. Rockstar doesn't care that much about the community. Especially not the PC community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I couldn't give a monkey's bollocks about another patch as it worked for me day one How is 5-10 minutes ridiculous? Its not a team of five people its not like its a struggle you think all the devs sit in there 24-7 beavering away until home time HA WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING? Talking about heads up their asses, any person pretty much on this forum would have told them to put an anti-cheat in from day one, actually the gamer would expect there game to be cheat protected, they must have their heads stuck somewhere Stop having a go at me, just because i thought people could communicate with each other, i mean its not like there normal people are they? Do i care about informing me of patches no I'm not gonna CRY! i donts evenz needz des patchez, god you cant make a comment without someone bitching at you and i never said ROCKSTAR do this because i know i would be wasting my time Edited April 11, 2009 by craig3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
