Killzone 2 Patch 1.24 - Fewer Bugs, More Features

While most of the information out there right now talks about the patch, the official PlayStation blog has a new post that also talks about Guerrilla Games plans to add a party system in future patches. This is straight from the Lead Online Game Designer - Eric Boltjes.

I agree. Sweet spot for MP is 24. Anymore than that = grenade and rocket launcher spam party

Bnet3436238d ago

I play 32 player matches all the time but I never seen a rocket launcher lol? That's great they are making that filter, as long as they keep 32 players it's cool, that's what I play.

Fishy Fingers6238d ago

Noticed a large number of servers have the rocket launcher blocked off. Or just allow use of the granade launcher.

Personally I dont mind. It's somewhat rewarding downing the b**tards! Especially with the revolver :)

Fishy Fingers6238d ago

Perhaps they shouldnt fix the faults? I know how tramatic a 30 second DL can be.

Think I'll go with disagree.

redsquad6238d ago

Downloading patches requires no effort, expense or hardship on my part and make a great game better. You obviously despise the game so won't be downloading any, ergo no ammount of them can be "too many" as far as you're concerned.

So why the worthless post?

ultimolu6238d ago

Press Agree is looking for attention.

Press Agree.

On topic: I love how they're continuously supporting this game.

DragonWarrior_46238d ago

I think 32 players is perfect, but whatever. Guerilla has proved they are the one of the best devs of all time. Im sure it would have been easier for them to have all of these features day one if they had xbox live, but that just shoes how good of a dev team they are when they use what they got and still make a phenomenal game. I would love to see Bungie or Epic try to make a game without xbox live. They wouldn't beable to. They would curl up in a ball and suck on their thumb till their mommy Microsoft came with some booby milk.

Mindboggle6238d ago

Im playing Killzone 2 now for the first time in ages and there are tons of people online, the activity hasnt seem to of gone down at all.

So to the fools saying noone plays it, your lying. I think im gunna go for those new ranks....Its an amazing game.

Lifendz6238d ago

I really wish the game had a ranking system like COD4. It really keeps you playing. Not complaining cuz I love the game but it is always cool to take prestige.

Great Great game. Party system for the mfw.

Oh, and to all you 360 owners that are about to flame I know you have that already. But since PSN is free anything I get that you have is a bonus imo.

Sarcasm6238d ago

"Feature - Three additional 'Harcore' Ranks added to the top limits."

Mannn... Only 3? Leveling up is part of the addiction. They need to add some kind of prestige resetting mode.

It's an unusual addiction, but let's face it. We all do it on COD and for some reason it keeps us coming back.

Bubble Buddy6238d ago

I love GG, they're not like other developers that just give up on the players after we purchased their game. And for the prestige thing, I don't understand why people love to prestige in COD. I was always one of the ones that just stay at the first level 55 :). Can't let go of my Golden guns. Lazy to get headshots blah blah.
And thanks GG for trying your hardest to implement a party system. Appreciate it :)

Kleptic6238d ago (Edited 6238d ago )

^^totally agree...the cod prestige thing is just a gimmick, and I never liked the idea of resetting everything I had unlocked...

I like this idea of having ranks for certain milestones...

Tru_Blu6237d ago

Nah, 32 is fine. Just tweak it to RL's have to get 5 kills to get a point and a lot of them will go away. Grenade launchers I have no problem with, leave that how it is.

redsquad6238d ago

The first two of the new ranks are at 5000 and 10,000 points? Most people will get them automatically as soon as the patch is downloaded then.

Fishy Fingers6238d ago

Could of been higher really, still, 100,000 should seperate the men from the boys.

Or the employed from the unemployed ;)

redsquad6238d ago

Indeed! I think they should have set them at 30, 70 and 100,000.

Megaton6238d ago

Yeah, I've got around 12k points as it is, almost all of it gained during the week I went for the top 1% trophy. There should be a couple more ranks between 10k and 100k.

Sarcasm6238d ago

"Or the employed from the unemployed ;) "

LOL

Unemployed here (obviously not by choice) but I still don't have that much time to be leveling up.

Then again, I also wish it was more ranks instead of just 3. The addiction ends as soon as you hit the cap.

RememberThe3576238d ago

I have 3 days and about 15000 points so far. 100000 seems like a great number to reach for.

NateNater6238d ago

Its great that i can play people online around the world. But, did they ever think that i would also enjoy playing against or with the person sitting right next to me? Where is the co-op love? Halo and Gears have it, why not Killzone?

Fishy Fingers6238d ago

For every game (be that 360 or not) that includes co-op I could list one that doesnt. Sure the the option of co-op would of been fantastic, perhaps it will come in a later DLC. But as of now there is no co-op and no comment on co-op.

If it bothers you so, my advice would be to go back and play Halo or Gears.

cliffbo6238d ago

yep, and it should have had racing cars too... shame, it could have been perfect

Mitch_Cumstein6238d ago

Co-op SHOULD be in this game. Playing through the campaign sets up for co-op perfectly and the only reason GG didn't put it in there is because they simply COULDN'T given the platform's limitations.

Unfortunately its the lack of co-op and general lack of innovative gameplay that really hampered this title. But PS3 fanboys seem to prefer having "the prettiest graphics on a console" bragging rights as opposed to the best and deepest gameplay possible.

Unfortunately GG decided to listen to the ignorant graphics fanboys and pretty much "hand-cuffed" themselves into taking nearly 6 whole years to deliver "just another shooter". That is why sales flopped and its also why used copies are starting to pile up at GameStop.

6 f****** years and no co-op = sales flop = FAIL

Fishy Fingers6238d ago (Edited 6238d ago )

I must admit, there is nothing more enjoyable than reading a comment from a dude who obviously has no knowledge of game/engine development telling us what a studio on GGs magnitude are and arent capable of doing with a specific piece of hardware.

Perhaps while your giving a word to the wise you could give Infinity Ward a shout, tell them where they went wrong with COD4.

Note to self: People have 1 bubble for a reason...

redmamoth6238d ago

Please give us more of you wealth of knowledge... with such a handle I can only imagine you are an intellect of the highest order... educate us young squire, please... give us more of your knowledge... oh wait, you can't!! 1 bubble baby!!

RememberThe3576238d ago

I'm with the rest of you; it would be cool, but it's not needed. I played COD4 for a year without caring about co-op, now I'm played KZ2 without it as well, and I still don't care.

Maybe it's that I don't know what I'm missing, and I do realize the if Army of Two could be fun with co-op, then surely Killzone 2 would be a blast. But I'm not the MP too much to care.

NateNater6238d ago

@ 3.1

I wasn't saying gears or halo was better! I don't even own an xbox! I was just stating that the option of co-op would have made the game better.

Bigrhyno6238d ago

I am not a fan of the hardcore ranks. If anything give me a different color for my weapons or something. I don't care about the symbol next to my name.

iHEARTboobs6238d ago

I'm all for ranking up if it involves earning things to use in the game (like guns, classes or perks). Aside from that, ehh.

Serjikal_Strike6238d ago (Edited 6238d ago )

this is an awesome patch by the way....

cant wait for the DLC :)

For dude below...Bigryno

this is a patch (PATCH)..not DLC
Be happy they added new ranks and you didnt get charged for them.....
besides you did mention you wanted painted guns..lol..not something I want in KZ2

Bigrhyno6238d ago

I don't "want" colored weapons, but it would be better than nothing. It was just an example of something they could have done instead of giving us nothing.

CaseyRyback_CPO6238d ago

How can you complain when its features that were requested from the community? How would GG know to add flaming hot pink pistols, if no one asked for them, but you?

Bigrhyno6238d ago

Ok, ignore the colored weapons thing.

I want something for my ranks, not just a symbol next to my name.

my original comment "If anything give me a different color for my weapons or something."

Did it really sound like I was dying for new colors... no, I just was saying give us something, even if it is minimal.

CaseyRyback_CPO6238d ago

You can do no wrong in my eyes.. nevermind anything i said. He was a good one.

HDgamer6238d ago

I want the lightning gun and bolt gun in the multiplayer.

crillyconlig6238d ago

that would be fantastic but it wouldnt be a balanced weapon

HDgamer6238d ago

Of course it wouldn't, lighting gun has unlimited ammo.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX574d ago (Edited 574d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne574d ago (Edited 574d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro574d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken574d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown574d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72574d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken574d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya573d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast574d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood574d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

OtterX803d ago (Edited 803d ago )

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro803d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72803d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_803d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga803d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos803d ago (Edited 803d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23803d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000803d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin803d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole803d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix803d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989803d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor803d ago (Edited 803d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989803d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1107d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1107d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1107d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491106d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381107d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1107d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1107d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381107d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1107d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761107d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1107d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1107d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1107d ago (Edited 1107d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1107d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1107d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
