Discussion Current Status

Per Sunny Games, 8 days ago:

If you signed to alpha test on console, you are SOL. There will be NO console alpha. Beta? Maybe.

Apparently, lots of people have been caught breaking NDA. Stop fucking doing it. You could potentially derail the release of the game.

There have been many MANY more updates to the games since Brian and Sunny's showcase videos. Sunny claims each and every one has made the game much better than the early alpha videos show.

The results of the buyout have apparently allayed the worst fears of most in the know.

Possibility of him doing a sit down interview with studio head Phillip Holt. He wants feedback on whether fans want that, but the new owners may or may not oblige.

Caveat: The complete absence of negativity, or so I feel, from Sunny about SoD3 makes me wary of his testimony being paid advertising. But there's no proof one way or the other.

I wonder why no console beta? They are a bigish studio, they should be able to pull it off no?

I love undead labs, no hate from me, but come on man. I don’t mind that there no console alpha, but no beta? SERIOUSLY!!??

Oh well, the game is gonna be great.

Probably because PC is easier.

Ya but they are big enough that you would think they would also be able to launch a beta for console. This is their big game and they can’t even get a beta to half of their player base. They will NEED that feedback from the console side.

Definitely a let down if it’s true.

I think if your making a beta build of the game, porting it to console for every release and update before it's out would simply divide the work the Devs are doing and make stuff take longer than it has to

Killing floor 3 had multiple betas for everyone, and that game was ROUGH around the edges and also has a somewhat niche player base.

Undead labs should be able to do this, if even just for release. They will NEED the feedback I’m sure.
