So ARE we gonnaget updated?

I just want to know if Uber stated that there are actually any plans to update this 360 version of MNC, because I kind of get the impression that they got swayed into the ease of PC updating and kind of just left us with what we got.

I answered this in another thread.

The Xbox community for Monday Night Combat is bigger than the Steam version. We've sold more on the 360 version and naturally it makes perfect sense to keep updating the 360 version. So why haven't we and why are we still working on Steam updates?

Steam as a platform is in the hands of the developers to control (and break) and update as often as we can make content. It's also allows us to test out concepts like All-Star Rating, balance issues, get immediate feedback and put out content without worrying about memory or size issues. It's just easy from a developers perspective and it caters to how we like to develop.

Xbox Live on the other hand has a much bigger community, the hardware is essentially the same for everyone, and its easier for the players to party up, everyone has a mic, and there are more MNC players on it. The platform has a longer test cycle and more rigorous certification process that takes time and there's a significant cost on the the developers to put out new content.

We're in the process of upgrading our Unreal 3 engine to the latest version which will allow us to support both 360 and PC versions of MNC better going forward. One the biggest time sinks for us on MNC 360 was the UI system and how long it took to make simple changes which will change with the engine update and us switching to Flash/Scaleform for the UI. During this transition, we're using the Steam version to test out things.

We haven't forgotten about the 360 but there won't be an update until we get everything switched over to the new engine (in progress now) and we figure out with MS on the best way to update the 360 version and continue to update in the future. It will be a pretty significant update that will contain a lot of the content, bug fixes, and balance (where appropriate) that was done for Steam.

We're not going to give out weekly or daily timelines right now because stuff changes rapidly. We understand your frustration and you want 360 updates ASAP and we're working on it. Also, we need more people to help and that's why we're hiring right now. Thanks.

Gentleman,

And as for the limited memory issue, that's a complete fib. I have seen and played a ton of XBLA games that are over the required limit.

There is a size limit to a title update/ patch (not DLC) which at the time we did ours was 4MB. Since then we've seen 5, 8 and even bigger updates with different games. Not all games are treated with the same rules so go figure. No we're not trying to pull one over you as you're suggesting.

Also, your posts are just vicious. You don't need to attack us or make up stuff to make your point. It's getting old.

Alright, thanks. Good to know we aren't abandoned. MNC on 360 is one of my favorite games of all time, so I'll be patient and wait

And did you REALLY have to quote the quote that Ekanaut quoted on my quote, MLG? I've made amends now!

I just spoke to Eka and he says that because your thread is #300 the xbox will never get an update or dlc ever again. I hope your proud of yourself.
