I'm glad he said about 5 hours. But seeing what he did last night, I don't think I'll get the correct combos.

I have codes for the Keep beta later when I get to the BW base. Tried earlier but just missed out.

If it's the same format as on the internet then it wouldn't be a major patch. For all we know the game already looks to either the internet or a USB, ready for the eventuality of console systems coming up with a system. And if not this game then maybe the next.

Don't game developers have to work with MS or Sony if they want their games on those consoles? Otherwise wouldn't all games be on all platforms, minus exclusivity deals? Maybe you're right that it would be a security risk, and I can certainly understand being hesitant. But if enough people ask then maybe there is something that can be done. I can imagine some work arounds, including the USB's coming directly from MS and SONY, protected of course, but it requires cooperation on the part of the organizations. And they will only know if it's worthwhile from a good will perspective if enough people ask for it. Maybe they would even charge $5/USB +s&h. Or come up with an alternative that costs nothing.

BTW, I am not against the Keep. I think it's a good idea and am looking forward to using it. Anyway, I don't have any more to say on the subject. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that the Keep opens up soon.

Yes it would. Or more accurately it would be a patch. I suppose it wouldn't have to be "major" patch. Because we know the game does not support USB at the moment, therefore we know it does not check the USB (I'm actually 95% certain that games can't even access USB storage on the PS3 and PS4). There is not enough time for them to add such functionality if they haven't already started on it (and we have no reason to believe that they have) before shipment unless they delay it as the game should be fairly close to going gold at this point if it hasn't already. Therefore the only way to add it would be a patch.

The extent that companies work with developers on multi-platform titles is something along the lines of sending development kit to studio, checking to make sure the game doesn't break the system, and then maybe manufacturing (actually not sure on manufacturing). If a console maker is working closely with a studio then that means an exclusivity deal in place of some kind or that the studio is a first party studio.

I am sure that if enough people had demanded it, something would have been worked out.....but the ship on that sailed a long time ago. At this point the whole thing can only be resolved with a patch, and that doesn't help the people who are actually hurt by the situation. If people were going to demand this it needed to happen a lot earlier in the development cycle, and frankly I don't think that there are anywhere near enough people who will be impacted so that they could have changed course on this even if they had reacted in a timely fashion.

What kind of patch? It would have to be a rather major patch which would rewrite the way the Keep works because it currently doesn't generate an actual save file. And with no save file there is just nothing to save on a USB.

As you said, I doubt many gamers are really impacted by the Keep being online. The last gen consoles will eventually no longer be supported and if you want to keep gaming Internet will become mandatory, so it is just a short patch of something you need to solve yourself if you want to be able to game to keep gaming in the future. It sucks but that is just the way it goes.
