Poll: How long do you think before a N2 patch?

by ccorpor » Thu, 19 Dec 1996 04:00:00

Subject says it all.

Since my complete enjoyment for this game is hindered by bugs, I think it's
fair to ask for a patch ASAP. I'm not even talking complicated stuff just some
features that the manual states that isn't in the game.

I heard 9 months for an ICR2 patch. I'm not sure what they had to fix, but
that seems wayyyy to long to me.

So what's the feeling around here?

I would think it's been about 5 weeks or so since the game was mastered in
it's current version. So in 5 weeks you think some of the small detail stuff
would be fixed. There's plenty of programs on the market that have patches
within a couple weeks after release.

Again what do you feel the pulse is on this subject?

It's been just over 3 weeks since NASCAR 2 went gold. In the weeks prior to
that, the N2 team at Papyrus were putting in long hours, 7 days a week.
I've spoken to one member of the team, and he's on vacation until next
year. It wouldn't surprise me if most of them haven't already taken off as
well.

If I were to venture a guess, I'd say that the soonest you might see a
patch is in February, and that's probably pushing things a bit. More likely
is that they will hold off until they are ready to release the NRO version,
so they only have to run one QA cycle.
