Sniper Elite 3 til Xbox One krever gigantisk patch

Sniper Elite 3 slippes denne fredagen, og forhåpentligvis vil vi få muligheten til å skyte vekk Hitlers bart i sakte film. Med barten følger det dessuten en 10 (!) gigabyte stor oppdatering til Xbox One-versjonen av spillet. Ifølge utvikleren, Rebellion, skal dette synkronisere den digitale og diskbaserte versjonen av spillet med hverandre, samt å forbedre spillets kompatibilitet i og med kommende flerspillerkart.

Her er utviklerens egne ord:
"The main part of the update is to sync data between the game's retail discs and the Xbox Live digital download edition of the game. In the several weeks between sending the code off to manufacture and release, rather than sit around or take a break, we've continued to work on the game, making improvements and optimisations.

We've also begun work on multiplayer DLC and a small part of this update is to introduce a compatibility pack. This is standard for any game that adds DLC - it's just to make sure everyone can have the same multiplayer experience whether they own DLC or not.

While we understand gamers will be frustrated at the wait, the good news is that the update will actually reduce the size of the game's total install footprint on their hard drive, and reduce the size of future patches significantly.

It's part of this ongoing optimisation process that's enabled Sniper Elite 3 to perform well at a native 1080p on both Xbox One and PS4. We appreciate everyone's patience and we firmly believe Sniper Elite 3 will be worth the wait!"
