Ubisofts FPS Xdefiant skjuts upp efter misslyckad konsolcertifiering

Gillar spelet skarpt men vilket ”skick” är spelet i om konsolerna ej släpper igenom det? Man vet ju vad som finns där om man säger så?! Bara åldersmärkningen?

Som jag förstått det så är denna certifiering separat från åldersgräns. Det handlar snarare om hur väl spelet körs på plattformen i fråga.

Ok ok tack! Då undrar jag hur dåligt det funkar för finns hyffsat trasiga spel på både PS och Xbox i dagsläget 😅

Ni kan ju läsa vad som skrivs.

Kan ju inte vara något större problem om det går att fixa inom 2 veckor...

Intressant läsning om certifieringsprocessen i inlägget från Mark:

Here is a detailed description of how the submission process goes:
Submission is the part of development where we give the game to the 1st parties (Sony, Xbox, etc.) to check that the game works correctly in their environments. To get to that we have to self-test with internal QA/Compliance teams to try and find any issues that might get flagged in the submission process. Once we have fixed or completed all of the tasks that we want/think we need for submission we then spend about 2-3 weeks prepping and validating a CM (Candidate Master) that we think is the final version of the game for submission. It then goes through 1 week of heavy QA & Compliance testing by several Ubisoft teams. If it passes, then it goes to the 1st parties to be certified for release. 1st parties take a week to get their final report on the submission and give us a Pass or Not Pass with a list of must fixes for the next submission. Also, to be clear during this submission process, the QC team at Ubisoft are putting the build through the ringer looking for functionality bugs and another team at Ubisoft, divided up into PC, Sony and Xbox groups are looking for compliance bugs. These are two different types of bugs. Functionality means “does this gameplay feature work as intended” (e.g., there is a bug where the damage from your weapon is altered after using a certain ability.) This is not something the 1st parties will be looking for unless of course it prevents them from testing. Those are on us to find. Compliance bugs are ones that relate to the systems and overall experience that the first parties expect from games on their platform. (e.g., Are trophies being properly tracked, is my friend’s list being properly updated with game status, etc.) After we get a Pass from all 1st parties, we are then ready to ship and need probably 1-2 weeks before launch depending on the date of the Pass. If we don’t Pass, then we need to spend about a month fixing the issues that came up from the submission and repeat the above process.

Så vitt jag förstått så handlar konsolcertifiering oftast mest om att konsollens unika funktioner stöds korrekt, Achievements, button prompts, pause state osv. men kan såklart också vara prestanda.

Pinsamt
