Fallout: New Vegas patch coming out very soon

Is Bethesda the one doing the patch? That seems a little weird given that they didn't create the game. The alternative, that Obsidian created the patch but for some reason can't release the info, is also a little strange.

I guess that I'm probably misunderstanding.
 
Obsidian does the bug fixing. Bethesda coordinates the bug reports, does the testing and also all the PR stuff. Nothing unusual.
 
Couldn't they just post the patch notes instead of giving us an announcement about an upcoming announcement?

They don't want to announce anything as final just yet, since they're likely sill working on it.

Reread the quote again, they said they submitted it.

Granted, it could get rejected and things may still have to change but the chances of that are slim (especially since they have to pay Microsoft for the luxury of submitting the patch).

Regardless, they could put up a tentative list and then redact/change things as need be.
 
What I'm waiting for is for Micro$oft to say that they can ONLY release patches for the 360 version on the market place, for fifteen dollars per patch DLC.
 
Obsidian does the bug fixing. Bethesda throws the bug reports out the window, does nothing and claims they actually did the patch. Nothing unusual.

Thar, I fix'd it :lol:

It's interesting that the patch is taking so long. I wonder if they're trying to do a very comprehensive one to get rid of most of the bugs at once. Let's just hope they don't introduce any new ones :wink:
 
As much as I'm looking forward to the patch, I'm a bit scared of it blowing up my computer as well.

I have a good track record of Obsidian patches actually fixing things, but when it comes to Gamebryo... Well.

Hope it'll be out soon though.

Or its a sign that the DLC is coming out soon ... at least for Bethesda it was true that only patches have been released when a n new DLC was out. Most of the time at least. Or a patch to fix something like a crash AFTER you exit the game since Games for Windows life was afected. Those things are fixed fast. Gamebreaking bugs ? pfff. Who cares about those anyway !
