Resistance 3 Day One Patch Is Big. And Early.

nofi 41 Comments
[videoyoutube]Resistance 3 is out pretty soon, and the promised ‘day one’ patch for the game, which will obviously await your time and attention if you’re picking up the game next week, is now out for anyone that has the game early – or, like us, is battling their way through it for review.

It’s a whopper, though – 656MB for the European version of the patch, which is currently crawling through my rather rural connection just now.

That’s in addition to the game’s install, which takes considerably longer than the introductory video sequence (which is lovely, mind) is supposed to mask.

Quite what a patch of that size is actually updating is anyone’s guess, if we get a changelog on boot we’ll update this post but it was previously just a rather vague ‘updates and tweaks’ and is presumably just fixes to the multiplayer based on beta feedback.

The game’s pretty good though, especially for fans of the series – our full review will follow next week, but in the meantime you can read our hands on with the game’s opening section here and our  interview with the developers here.  Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have an update bar to watch.

  1. Buying it for the SP for sure. Didn’t like the Beta, but I’ll give it a shot when I get it post patch.

  2. Don’t mind a day one online patch, but that is taking the p***.

  3. take about 8mins at the most on my net to download feel bad for people on crap connections.

    • this will probably take me 30mins to download but I’m used to terrible download speeds now. The AC:R Beta took a good few hours.

  4. I agree that these patches are getting out of control. Loading up GT5 a few weeks ago was forced to wait about three hours and use about a quarter of my, admittedly meagre, monthly download cap.

  5. I don’t really mind about that patch, probably last minute changes to the multiplayer. Can’t wait for the 9th :)

  6. Funny how everyone is moaning about updates after yesterdays article, have we all had our eyes opened to the big wide nasty business world!

  7. Why are people complaining that it isn’t fair for people without internet connections? If they haven’t got the internet they won’t be playing online and won’t need the patch.

    Also if people have a crap slow connection they probably shouldn’t be playing anyway and dragging down everyone elses games with their lag inducing connection.

  8. What the hell…!?
    That’s huge. Of course, they must address all the freezes and framerate issues there are in the beta, but why haven’t they done like ND instead of releasing the beta a damn week before game’s launch?
    At least, Insomniac tend to fix their bugs…

  9. Looking forward to the review.
