Well, in my experience games generally come out without killing bugs. At least the games I bought (e.g. a month or two ago I gor Supreme Commander - didn't need a patch). I can list here a whole bunch in the same category.

Do you think SH4 is their only project?
C'mon, they're console code writers, probably the were working at several things in the same time. Trust me I worked for a software company for several years until I got back to academia (much more fun doing research than working for a lobotomised project manager). There's never just one project on the table. Expecially if you have a large team (and I saw in their dev videos the're a bunch of guys and gals there).

I hope you were right. Would be quite nice. I'll remain skeptical meanwhile.

Yet it still su***d. Despite the patch i still found the framerate too low for my computer (at that time I had a brand new, top of the line Alienware, SLI and all that).
