Dear tinyBuild and the porting team..

I actually really like Hello Neighbor 2, even when it was broken on launch, and I really want the game to be the best it possibly can be. The Hello Neighbor Franchise has so much potential and personally I think that Hello Neighbor 2 delivered.. at least for me, but I know others weren’t so happy. That’s why I think Eerie Guest Studios should stop updating Steam temporarily and let the porting team focus on consoles for a while. Get PlayStation, Switch & Xbox updated to at least patch 3-4. Once they’re updated, Eerie Guest Studios can continue steam updates.

This will ultimately end in both sides being happy. Consoles will be updated, and steam will still have new updates. I hope you can find balance instead of just prioritising Steam.

I completely understand that porting to consoles is hard, and definitely costs a lot. However, since those features weren’t there at launch, you’ll need to port them eventually. Leaving a specific platform behind isn’t good at all. The console version could be seen as a scam to some people. Not all, but definitely some.

In one of your goals, you’ve stated that you want to be able to release Steam and Console updates simultaneously. Please try and get to this point before ever focusing on future ports, like mobile.

If you port a game to a specific platform, you need to update it. I know it’s easier to update Steam, but they can’t stay Steam exclusive forever. If it’s time consuming, try porting more than 2 in updates. That could save, I’m not sure though.

Even if you still plan on taking a while, you at least need to let people know your plans, and give actual release dates. It’s unacceptable it took 4+ months to get only the first two patches to consoles. Things need to speed up, or you need to be less opaque.

Thank you. Remember that this is just my view, but I hope this constructive criticism helped in some way or another.

Dear tinyBuild and the porting team..

#

I just mean dont mention steam, cuz its not their fault, im not talking about contacting the port team

arctic osprey
#

Once consoles are updated, Steam can continue updating.

topaz birch
#

All im talking about is mentioning port team not steam, just forget about it doesnt matter

#

Steam is seperate from the porting team

arctic osprey
#

Why would I cut out steam? Steam should temporarily stop so consoles have time to catch up.

topaz birch
#

So they dont need to stop

#

I know

arctic osprey
#

I know they are seperate.

topaz birch
#

It doesnt matter

#

Just forget it

#

Its fine

arctic osprey
topaz birch
#

Ya i meant mention

#

Not contact

arctic osprey
#

Steam stops so consoles have time to catch up

topaz birch
#

I dont want to talk about this anymore just forget it.

arctic osprey
#

Steam is - in my eyes - very separated from the porting team in my message.

topaz birch

I agree but consoles should get more than just patches 3-4 at this point a least 3-6 which I know is a lot but I’d either wait longer for bigger updates or wait less time for smaller updates. I think that if console has to wait so long it should have more in the update than just 2 patches worth. If there’s only 2 patches in each console update it shouldn’t take months for each update.

arctic osprey
#

Yeah, I agree. Patch 3-4 are definitely necessary, since these add updated jump scares and table animations. These would make console be up to date with most of the gameplay changes.

If you guys continue to show support on this feedback, tinyBuid or the dev team might just see this!

arctic osprey
#

Reviving this so maybe tB will see this..

What the heck is this post

#

Tbh I feel bad for console players but this is what it's like with indie games, pc is first and that's normal for indie games, you guys get many AAA games we don't get, we don't complain about that and tell sony to stop developing ps5 games and put all their effort on porting to pc.

It's like this with indie games, it always has been

#

it's something you should consider when you buy a consoles

#

consoles are mostly for AAA gaming

gloomy trout
#

And said in one of the last devlogs for hn2

#

What do you want? Pc to get delayed for no reason untill console releases aswell?

#

Porting just takes time, that's the way it is, I don't know what you want out of this

#

If they do what you want nothing will change besides pc would not get the updates aswell

Dude like, games like this always and i mean aaaalllllwaaaayyysss get pc treatment, I get you guys are upset that you can't play the update yet but all of you are taking it too far.

#

"Omg!!! Pc can already play update... ME MAD UNFAIR!!!! HEY TINYBUILD STOP DEVELOP PC DEVELOP PS5 AND XBOX NOW!!! NO MORE NEW UPDATES FOCUS ON PORTING EVEN THOUGH THIS ONE ALREADY TOOk 6 MONTHS TO MAKE" Yep thats you guys

#

Be glad your not a switch player

#

If they did what you wanted yes maybe everything would release at the same time but updates would take way longer.

#

And this update already took really long

#

many people would just stop waiting because of that

waxen radish
#

Idc that the updates will take longer cuz I would prefer to actually get the updates, and a lot of people did stop waiting because that’s what happens when you release a $40 scam

light citrus
#

It's coming, they said they're doing their best to bring it to consoles as soon as possible, the reason it's releasing on pc is because it's finished there and they want people to have their hands on it as soon as possible.

#

But appereantly that's too much... what other people that have an easier plattform to develop on can play something I can't!?!??!?! UNACCEPTABLE!!!!

rigid lantern
#

The only reason I'm complaining is because the switch doesnt even have patch 3, even though they said they're trying to make all platforms have around the same updates.

light citrus
#

They need to update it more

rigid lantern
#

Yeah

light citrus
#

I understand switch players cause you guys are still stuck on patch 2 or something right?

rigid lantern
#

Patch 2 with a few patch 3 features

#

Still no new catch anims

light citrus
#

I wonder if patch 9 would even be possible on switch, but they should atleast get it to patch 8, and maybe release smaller updates

#

Like bugfixes and smaller additions, like maybe skip patch 9 and still give switch players patch 10 if that will exist

#

cause im not sure how patch 9 would run on the switch

gloomy trout
#

They shouldn’t say it if it wasn’t going to happen.

vernal thorn
#

only switch still on patch 2

#

xbox and ps and pc are on patch 8

#

If security breach can run on switch then patch 9 DEFINITELY will
