Dead or Alive 4 Data Corruption Issue Confirmed
Eurogamer reports on an issue with Dead or Alive 4 game saves. Tecmo has owned up to the problem, which erases fight information, leaderboard positions, and unlocked items. From the article: "'We're aware of the issue... We're working to identify and resolve the potential problem with the technical folks at Microsoft.' A patch is on the way shortly, apparently. There's still no word on precisely when Dead or Alive 4 will be released in Europe, but chances are they'll have fixed the bug by then."
"A patch is on the way shortly, apparently"
Then the people who are playing on an Xbox 360 Core System are up a creek?
Whatever happened to "No Xbox 360 game will require the hard drive?"
The lack of a harddrive with the core system is irrelevent. You still have to support the set of users who do not have a broadband connection.
