    Re: Backbreaker Patch Details

    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

        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.
        then where are the play diagrams and new loading screen coming from?

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

            *** **** 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.

                    You would be wrong to jump to that assumption, so don't be "peeved".

                    Let's look at the play-art. Let's say each image is - I don't know - something in the region of 216x128 texels...

                    DXT1 compression (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Text...mpression#DXT1) achieves a compression ratio of 8:1, meaning each texel requires 4 bits - or 1/2 a byte.

                    216x128x1/2 = 13824 = 13.5KB

                    110 plays * 13.5K = 1.45MB

                    And that's assuming that they're not being compressed any further!

                        Friendly Fire!!! That's the best part for me! I was so good at running the ball but so many times the o-line would blast me to the turf and end the play for me. I can understand if you run full speed into the back of a lineman but not when the linemen runs into YOU and YOU fall down!

                        I doubt it hasn't happened to anyone else. But I'm glad they fixed it. It really looks good and I can't wait to get it on my system. BB2 Is going to wreck "that other game." I wish they had added more quarter options though....
                        It's all about the Chargers, the Lakers, and the............*falls asleep*

                              I mean who would care even if the patch is say umm... like 1 GB or something. It would be like downloading a game demo and we have ALL done that before.
