Hahh, hilarious. Look's like yet another lack of testing. | |
I can see some bugs getting missed, but how do you miss a bug that stops installation? Seriously I want a computer like the developers and playtesters get that seem to miss the bugs that appear on regular joe's computer. Edit: Make a note publishers: run a quick playtest on a distribution copy before distributing it! | |
The fuck do developers screw a game up that badly! | |
Well i can understand when they are in a hurry to meet the release date of the movie, lets face it these games are glorifired advertisements for the movie. What i dont get is when companies (remembering STALKER) release just down right half assed attempted games and have the balls to say they are complete and charge full price. | |
The Oh wait... someone already cracked the game and fixed the bug. | |
Well, good for them. It's a pretty average game, from what I've heard. | |
Heheh, I find it ironic that the pirates have already found a way to install the game. Obviously I can't post a link, but I'm sure you guys can find it yourselves. | |
WOOOOOOW. Ok, first off: bug testing. Heard of it? Secondly, I'd be extremely wary of buying a Terminator game, especially one that was released as a movie game. | |
Hilarious!!! Frickin' insane! | |
I would like to hear some responses from the anti piracy crowd that we should spend cash to support the developer in NOT making games. | |

Terminator Salvation PC Suffers Retail Recall
Evolved Games is recalling all copies of Terminator Salvation for the PC after complaints surfaced that a bug doesn't allow users to install the game, much less play it.
Terminator fanatics who wanted to get a sneak preview of the plot of the new flick, Terminator Salvation, may have decided to check out the videogame to find out how the movie ends. (Hint: John Connor probably saves the world.) Those unlucky souls who bought the PC version may have to wait until the movie comes out tomorrow, though, because Terminator Salvation on PC is broken. You can't install it.
"Unfortunately a defect occurred during replication of the PC version of Terminator Salvation, which does not allow end users to install the game," publisher Evolved Games said in a statement. The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game are defect-free.
Evolved is recalling all PC copies of Terminator Salvation from retail and are currently producing, or, as they put it, "replicating" new copies. Replicating, huh? By that do they installing the hidden program on the disc that'll turn your PC into a self-aware killing machine and jumpstart the end of the human race? I would keep a vat of molten steel nearby when playing, just to be safe.
New copies of Terminator Salvation will be on store shelves soon, promises Evolved, and a replacement plan for owners of defective copies is being put into place. You've been warned, then. Buy Terminator Salvation digitally or get the console versions if you want to play the game as soon as possible. But be ready for Judgment Day.
