Let's get this straight. I personnaly don't care if it ever gets released. My point is when a professional outfit promises something like DLC for a game and includes it in its promontional material, that is going to influence people to purchase the game, which is of course why they promise it in the first place. And once again, the product was not delivered and Joystiq and people like you make excuses for them.
Given Lionhead's and Microsofts history, they most likely were absolutely certain the DLC wouldn't be ready in time, just like the DLC for Grand Theft Auto 4 never made is FALL 08 release.
And much like Epic, maybe they should worry more about fixing the existing bugs than selling people extra content.

By the way, the complexity and scope argument is bullshit. Many things are complex and large in scope, get over it. Would you happily make excuses for the man building your house if he kept running over schedule? Would you say, oh, that's ok, because house building is complex and difficult. Molyneux keeps promising the world and delivering little and will continue to do so in part because of sites like Joystiq who continually give him, Lionhead, and its publisher, Microsoft, a free pass and happily trudge out the 'difficult and complex' argument.

Another free pass from Joystiq for an overhyped, under delivering Molyneux promise. How surprising.

Unfortunately, they skewed things quite a bit.

You CAN quickturn in place. Press Down + A. And no, you couldn't walk/run and gun in RE4, and you can't roll out of the way. Its NOT gears of war, people. Its a different game!

Good to hear, bramph. I don't have a ps3 (yet!) but I'm glad to hear it.

I'm not calling everyone else a liar. In case you hadn't noticed, many people on this board make false claims about sony products/games despite having little to no knowledge of that product/game and I was simply asking for people with knowledge of the product to reply, I thought I had made that clear.


And before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, yes I realize that the same can be said for Microsoft and Nintendo games/products, its just that in this case I was curious about the sony firmware update.

So are these people just uninformed/talking crap or is youtube quality flash the only flash that ps3 will play? I would like to know what people who actually have a ps3 and who have actually used the flash player to tell us about it, instead of hearing from the usual 'automatically claim everything Sony does is shit' crowd.

NO, the game is NOT unplayable. It does NOT run like a slideshow. If you install it on the hard drive, load times are rarely over 3 seconds for anything. Battles have a bit of slowdown but it's less than what's in Mass Effect during busy fights and since Last Remnant's turn-based, none of it matters anyway. There's a small amount of texture pop-in but that really doesn't matter when it takes all of 1 second to show up and it's on the same level as Mass Effect.

The game is NOT broken."


I've been playing this game for a few days now and completely agree. Load times are so quick w/ install that I don't have time to read the tips/hints they put on the load screens. The texture pop in is nowhere near as bad as Mass Effect and nobody seemed to mind for that game. And it is turn based, so the slowdown has no effect on the gameplay whatsoever. And I know this is a novel idea, but before you say that the game is unplayable, maybe you should try actually playing it first?

Funny how critics didn't seem to mind the missing textures and loooooong load times of Mass Effect. They also didn't seem to mind that it locked up regularly for many players. I guess they loved the hours upon hours of mundane dialog and the ever so original story of a space marine having to save his planet, and with the epic plot twist of having to save the galaxy. Gee, its too bad other games don't have such original storylines.

Then again, if ME was a JRPG then everyone would say it sucked and was stuck in the 1990s.
