Will they fix the framerate issues?

Make sure that you have installed the latest version of graphic card drivers and DirectX on your computer. Let me know about the result after doing that. If still issue persisting contact developer of the game.

We're talking about the PS3 version.

Thanks,

So, its been a while now....
Any news?

[Lukedfrt]

Still no news TTG? Way to keep the community updated.

Well, to release a patch on PSN (and XBLA) costs a developer roughly 40,000$ according to Tim Schafer. It's not very affordable for smaller developers

TTG shouldn't release a product that didn't work in the first place if they cant afford a patch for it.
They are a disgrace.

[Lukedfrt]

Wow... It just gets better

[Lukedfrt]

Thanks for the updates, i dont think i've ever been on such a great forum.

[Lukedfrt]

Its been a month now since a reply from a member of TTG, i have PM'd Micheal Parks and what a suprise. He didn't reply...

[Mike]

Hi,

As I said previously, I do not have any information about a patch for the PS3 version of the game. I'm not on the development team and I am not able to give you information that I don't have. If I'm updated with any information about a potential patch, there will either be a new thread created here, or a blog post will go up. I understand your frustration, and I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Thanks,
Michael

So this means there will be no patch basically, its been months since it was released. That's Great, release a game that doesn't work as it should and dont fix it. Cant wait until TTG go bankrupt, i'll be laughing.

The game does work. I mean, I played through it several times and was able to make it all the way through each time. yes, there's a frame rate issue that is a bit anoying but its not game breaking.

I experienced very little frame rate issues on my 360.

It kills the experience though, when the games framerate drops every 10 seconds during an action scene and you then die.
I wouldn't have any problems if they said sorry, we realise the problem and we'll patch it but no. They wont patch it because they are a joke of a company. They dont fix anything, never buying another product from them again.

What boggles my mind is that not a single person on the TT team must have played the later episodes on the PS3. How small/inexperienced must the team have been to let such a huge compatibility issue slide? This isn't like Skyrim, where the PS3 version slowed down or froze after spending tens of hours in the game. If you even TOUCH JP episode 4, you can clearly see that it's broken.

In the long run, you (TTG) are going to lose more money the longer you keep this POS on the market than if you just pushed through a patch. In its current state, people will play through your game, be turned off, and definitely not purchase new projects such as The Walking Dead (I'm sure there are many gamers who are interested in both franchises). I desperately want your games to be good, but I'm not going to let my fanboyism affect my wallet like a manipulative girlfriend who never puts out.

They did have a schedule to keep though. And they did delay the game once. So It could have been a lot worse. And we talk about patches like all they have to do is hit a button and everything is fixed. We don't know how the TellTale Tool works. For all we know it would take more man hours and money to fix the frame rate to the point where it's just not worth doing. Expecially seeing how the game did not fair well review wise. Not to mention TellTale is very busy with other games now like The Walking Dead.

I don't expect a patch. But seeing how I already played through and 100 percented each episode I don't really need one.

Was this on the PS3? I mean, if it was possible, I would have pushed through the lag and played on, but it's not, so I was forced to stop at the beginning of Episode 4. If I had been able to complete the game I paid for, I wouldn't come back and keep b****ing about it.

Bottom line is, I don't care about how much it costs TTG. It is their responsibility to make sure that the entire experience is available to us. After that, any complaints about story and gameplay mechanics aren't their problem. Unplayability isn't an opinion. It's fact.

Shockingly, at this point I would rate TTG even lower than EA in terms of respect (that's pretty damn low), and I'll be passing on these opinions until the company honors PS3 purchasers with what they deserved in the first place, regardless of their expectations of a TT game.

I agree 100%, i wanted this game to be awesome but it does not work! And i certainly wont be buying the Walking Dead game despite the fact that i love the programme. And im sure many other people agree with you.
