Hello All! so I've now broken down and am going to buy the Divinity 2 Ego Draconis USA original release. Now I've done my research and I know Larian has fixed the save bug glitch for the 360 (which is why I'm willing to buy the game) my question is will they release an Update with all the remastered graphics for the original release for the 360? so those of us in the US can enjoy the new graphics even though we have to wait for FOV? Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately we can't for a couple of reasons, the main one being that the rules for Xbox360 patches are very constrained in terms of maximum size of the patch. The other main reason is that the parent company of the company that published the game in the US went bankrupt, leaving us with no avenue to actually push such a patch through. We had the same problem in Europe btw for releasing X360 patches.

DTP are still operating today as they released Venetica on the Xbox 360 recently in the UK. Actually nevermind. I see you said US. It was a different publisher for the US wasn't it?

Mastertronic (Original Distributor for Orig.Div II) actually brought Venetica to the UK.
Can't believe its out, actually wanted it until I heard how buggy it was on Xbox with no patch in sight since the Ger Release last year....won't be getting it anytime soon.

Mastertronic (Original Distributor for Orig.Div II) actually brought Venetica to the UK. Says DTP on the box mate. I have Venetica right here in my hands. DTP published DIvinity 2 aswell in the UK. Pretty sure of it. Quick Google confirms this. Link Or are you referring to the parent company of DTP?

Mastertronic are the ones who physically brought both Venetica and Divinty II to the UK... Below are the PR's for both! Just to show to you  Even Lar could back me up on the Div II Part. Heck even Mastertronic sell DKS on their official website despite the game being Published By Focus Entertainment! " Venetica, Award-winning cinematic RPG, available on PC, Xbox 360 on Friday 12 November; PS3 version to follow
Stunning European role-playing game available this week
Thursday, 11th November 2010: Mastertronic, the UK’s leading independent publisher of computer and videogames, has today announced it has scooped the rights to distribute Deck 13’s fantasy RPG Venetica on Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 and published by DTP. The game will be available from Friday, November 12th for Xbox 360 and PC, with the PlayStation 3 version following a few weeks later.
Venetica is a gorgeous fantasy role-playing game, in which players assume the role of Scarlett, the daughter of Death. Set in and around the city of Venice in the 16th century, the game challenges players to rid the city of a dangerous necromancer, who is determined to bring death and destruction to the world.
The game offers players true-to-life visuals, subtle camera work, and spectacular cutscenes, with detailed cinematic sequences taking players on a unique journey through the game world in a way that is unmatched in the RPG genre.
Venetica was a massive hit in its native Germany, with GamingXP.de awarding it a massive 88 per cent. Gamers Plus described it as “a fresh role-playing game with a unique setting” whilst Looki.de declared “you’ve got to hand it to Deck 13: they know how to tell a fascinating story... which knows how to motive and attract the player.”
“Venetica is a European breath of fresh air in a genre dominated by the Americans and Japanese,” says James Cato, Group Sales Director, Mastertonic . “We’re thrilled to have added this to our roster, and look forward to introducing UK gamers to one of the most original and beautiful role-playing games created. Venetica will be released on Friday November 12th 2010 for PC and Xbox 360, with a suggested retail price of Ł39.99. The PlayStation 3 version will follow shortly. " "MASTERTRONIC UNLEASHES THE DRAGON WITHIN!
Mastertronic has today announced the forthcoming release of Divinity II - Ego Draconis on PC and Xbox360. The action - RPG sequel to the critically acclaimed Divine Divinity, Divinity II - Ego Draconis transports players back to the wide-open world of Rivellon, where they'll face the ultimate challenge of becoming a Dragon Knight. With up to 60 hours of gameplay, and the ability to play as either a knight or a dragon, Divinity II offers players an expansive experience packed full of lands to explore, dungeons to conquer and plenty of exhilarating ground and aerial combat.
In this new instalment in the award-winning Divinity series, you must face your destiny and know that the choices you make will determine the gameplay and inevitably, your fate. Players begin as a Dragon Slayer; hunters who roam the countryside, determined to rid the land of dragons. However, as the story unfolds, the player discovers new abilities as they evolve into a legendary Dragon Knight. Learn their secrets and use the ability to change between human and dragon forms to maximise your tactical advantage and reclaim the lands of Rivellon.
The Divinity series is the epitome of RPG games, attracting excellent reviews and high scores to give an average of 81% from Metacritic. Face your destiny and delve deep into this epic tale of conquest and write your own unique legend as you quest throughout fabled Rivellon. Your choices will determine the fate of all.
Neil McKenna, Product Director of Mastertronic says "We are proud to present the new instalment in the highly rated Divinity series, Divinity II - Ego Draconis on PC and Xbox 360. The game is built around a multifaceted quest structure, which places you in the centre of the adventure to creating your own unique story. Divinity II is the game that fans of the big epic role playing games have always wanted to play and it successfully delivers an RPG experience that both the fans of the classic series and new players will love."

Yeah. Mastertronic are the distributors, not the publishers. It clearly says this in their PR for Venetica (highlighted). It's exactly the same for Divinity 2 aswell no doubt. So unless you're saying Mastertronic is the parent company of DTP then I am correct in regards to DTP as they were indeed the publishers. Bare in mind here that Lar_Q mentioned "publishers" not distributors. Also the publishers being parented were CDV (as it was the US) so self correction there (as DTP handled the UK publishing). I know what you are saying but I'm not sure if it's relevant in regards to the publishing side or not.
