Backbreaker Patch Details

I think they could get in under 4mb.

Most of these are programming tweaks.. which are just basically changes in text files. The biggest things in games are 'Assets' (the graphics and sound) and they haven't added any of that. The replays are just using buttons and cameras that were already in the game. I think they could release this as a patch.

Well the entire game download itself was just barely 1 gb if I remember correctly. Maybe less even. I doubt they'll have a problem getting it approved

Seriously....can we just get this thing dropped already

For the love of Odin who cares how big the damn file is?

God damn you people can be stupid at times. Seriously. We're getting a patch that fixes nearly every issue we have with the game. Stop whining about stupid **** like file sizes.

Basically I'm an idiot....read at your own IQs risk

i care because with DLC anything Microsoft likes to slap that Gold Exclusive sticker on it for a week

I care also because the outcome of this may change how I feel about NM....I honestly dont believe that all of that (graphics included) can be contained in 1 4mb patch. If there isn't content download then I'm going to assume that this is all coming from on-disc and is just being "unlocked" which would peeve me because I would ask....why didn't we have these plays & replay system from the release?

RB2 did have a graphic update in a patch, a small RBN symbol, so i could be wrong, and yes, I am very very happy that the game will be fixed, I think we all are, I just want to theorize on where all of this is coming from, actual new content, or from the disc we already own.

It's like that thing with Resident Evil 5 where the multiplayer part of it was just an unlock key for something on the disc you already owned.

Do you know how many small image files you can fit in 4mb? Especially with simple stuff like play art, a few button icons and a couple new screens. And text? The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as a txt file is less than 300k. You can fit rather large amount of code in a fairly small space.
