Major updates will continue until console service ends. After that, there will still be minor updates, including content (Stuff they can add without changing any game code) into the future.Quote:
I thought the november update was the final one and everything after would just be minor bug fixes and balancing. But on the front page we have
What exactly is going on with this games future?

Since they are dropping console support entirely, can we can expect any kind of technical improvements? Like larger draw distances for the environment?
I read about something called "windower" that will do that, but I am always skeptical of third-party software. -

I was being sarcastic. If they can't blame PS2 anymore, they need a new scapegoat.

11-20-2015, 08:52 AMKineticSoulIt can be hard to catch sarcasm through text, plus I'm not tech savvy when it comes to stuff like DirectX. They are making those phone ports though, so... scapegoat?Quote:
