on xbox, maybe 2016. definitely not 2013. if this "EVERY frigging update I am forced to start a new game" has bothered you for a decade plus and you've only complained without researching, it's on you. all you need to do in Steam is: right click 7d in your game list properties betas pick the version you want to play. that's it. that's how it's always been. it's frustrating that so many people feel let down by this game because of that reset issue, without understanding how simple it is to fix! that's it. if you have something like 'latest experimental' set, that means it's going to want you to create a new save before playing after updating, because the update was significant. if i didn't explain it well enough, get back at me and we'll figure it out together, man. another blood moon is just around the corner!

@luckycard1669 *Actually the game was released in 2013 on Xbox so get your facts right. Furthermore an update shouldn't completely nullify a save the people who accept this are the problem with gaming today.*

Wrong@stuart

Fun pimps never sold console Versions of the game. That was telltale. And it was pre-alpha at the time. Lot of game devs sell their games before its completed. Its a way to drum up support and funds, which is pretty smart. The fun pimps never "blamed" telltales for what happend. Which they are well within their rights to do. They are just trying to make the best of a situation that telltales fucked up.

@CaptainKnate69420 its their game. Whether they contracted tell tale to port their work to console or not its still their game. They made profits off of selling that pre alpha unfinished game to console players and when tell tal went away and fans looked to fun pimps to find out if the game they paid for would continue to be developed fun pumps said nope.but well sell you the exact same game you paid for only with the new updates and to make it right well discount it, just ignore that thr discounted price is the same price you paid for th game you already bought. Very scummy but not unual for thr failing video game industry now a days

@@patient_6925 It might be their game , but tell tale is not their company. You can't blame the fun pimps for that. Fun pimps said nope to updateing the console version cuz they make pc games not console games. Thats why they went to telltales to port it to console. Now, when it comes to the full game, Version 1.0, the ps4 or xbox 1 cant handle that so its gotta be ported for next gen consoles. Which last i heard funpimps is woking on. And from what ive heard they want it to be free but sony says no, i dont know what xbox is saying about that. But the funpimps did work out a deal with sony to sell it discounted. If things wouldve went as planned they wouldve sold it pre-alpha and updated regularly for free. Just like minecraft, no mans sky and so many other dev that do that. But telltales went under. None of this is fun pimps doing. They really are the victim in this situation. They Deserve alittle respect for picking up the ball that telltale dropped. And convincing sony to sell it at a discount.

@@CaptainKnate69420 stopped to say exactly this. telltale bought the license to port the game to console, ported their jank incomplete pre-alpha, then went bankrupt and ended support. TFP got the license back mid '24 ,got to work and made their newest version console-friendly (as well as they could lol). for like eight years console players have been, rightfully, upset about this. unfortunately, most of them are misinformed about who it was that messed this up. i thought it was pretty rad of TFP to offer any discount at all to owners of the previous version, since TFP weren't the publishers of the original console sales. That said mostly in defense of the current game state and devs, I have to admit that 7d is still an incomplete game after more than a decade of alpha/beta versions. TFP seem to have no idea what they are doing for a real roadmap, making drastic core changes seemingly constantly. Unfulfilled KS promises, unrealized goals. Glitchy sometimes, janky most times, but fun every time. Graphically, it's dated. Sound is overwhelming sometimes. Controls... i can't speak for console, 7d is the only game i choose to play w kbm.

The thing no one mentions is fun pimps were adamantly against doing a console port and said it would never come to console and only agreed to it when tall tale begged to buy the rights and port it over.

you had the TellTale 2016 alpha 16.5( i think) port. that game state was only around for a few months on PC, but the publisher Telltale, who you paid for that console version of the game state, went broke and never updated it. If you bought the 2024 console version, you'd see a different game. I understand the confusion as to who to blame, and I'm totally not into the developers making a 7d spinoff game while 7d isn't even done (STILL), but if you liked the idea of 7d a decade ago enough to buy it, get this one when it's on sale. the basic ideas are still there, it's just been polished and updated a lot. (also they added crossplay, so you can play with your console or pc friends, within limits)

​@@luckycard1669oh I know what happened and I remember the 7 d forums with mods passing info from the pimps. I actually got banned many times for speaking out about the state of the game. Every month there was a promise something was coming, some update, some feature once the pc got their update. After several months the updates stopped and the mods (who replied) became hostile and changed their language to that of "fun pimps have nothing to do with this anymore but maybe if your lucky they'll buy the ip back". Of course that was followed by the announcement that even with getting the IP back we would never see support. To be clear the port never ran well so not adding updates to a game that doesn't work as it is for fear it may break something never made sense. While yes I could rebuy the game and yes I watch other play it I don't really see a draw to go back. I've never experienced such a poorly handled product where after years the answer is simply go and buy the new version.

@@josh-sy4gg I'm sorry that that was your experience. I've never used the forums or asked community or mods for help, I've just referred to YT vids when i ran into a glitch, so idk about the community toxicity. But you understand that the version you played was out of TFP hands, right? Once TellTale bought the license to port it to console, any future development was on TT, not TFP. TellTale bought 16.whatever from the devs, not 16.whatever+ future updates from TFP on PC for them to port to console. So when mods or community or devs said they had nothing to do with it, it wasn't to dismiss you, it's just facts. I had xb1 and the console version, i understand the frustration. I probably played that less than a month before I gave up. Console was already like 2 alphas ahead, and my homies were as frustrated with the console as everyone else, so why bother to keep playing? that said, all the failures to support the 2016 console version reflect the business practices of TT, who are not associated with TFP beyond buying and botching the license to 7d. GD i hate sounding like a bootlicker, but i really like this game.

lol man i spent so much time trying to type facts and not just opinions that i forgot to watch this video XD i hope they come out with a version that cool enough that you get back into it, man. i wasn't trying to be argumentative, just informative.

You’ve got that reversed, lol. Old models were hella radical

@@bluedash24 sorry but I think I was right, I have 1001 and 9001 models.

@@patrikv13 Hm, strange! My October '95 1001 has the purple/blue BIOS interface with the bubbles. Whoops

I can't speak for every company. But the unit I used in this video is still going strong for me. I hope this helps

@@UneeGaming thank you for the reply I'm glad it worked good for you, I just bought a psone alone in good condition just for the optical drive spare parts so for me it was less cheap than the Chinese reverse engineered lasers so I bought the original I know they last years and are heat resistant, let's see how it turns out I'm waiting for the spare parts.

Only on SCPH1001 models

Some of the older models require a ribbon cable adaptor to get it to work maybe thst might help?

That is awesome information! Thank you for sharing that with us. When I was reading a few forums, some people complained about issues, but never really stated what it was. I just tried to stay with something that worked. :D

I scored the laser from eBay. The package took quite a bit to get here and it was badly beaten up, but the unit itself was absolutely perfect.
