Seb Downie Annouces Killzone 2 Patch 1.27

From the offcial PlayStation Forums:

"Patch 1.27 is well under way and will be released a little later this month. It is a pretty sizable patch with some exciting features. More on that later on when we get closer to releasing it. There is also a lot of server related maintenance coming with that and a lot of other things still in the works. (DLC 2 anyone?) But more on that later.

So, behave yourselves and a press-release with the changes in patch 1.27 will be released when a date and time for release has been agreed upon with all regions."

gr8. another patch!! MAN I LOVE THIS GAME!!

UnwanteDreamz6215d ago (Edited 6215d ago )

Yep its nice to see the support. Hope they are ramping up for the next DLC I got my fingers crossed that we will see it at E3 and that it will be more than 2 maps.

I know they said think retro but I want maps and weapons or new game modes.

jaysquared6215d ago (Edited 6215d ago )

Wish we they can stop patching this game and just work on KZ3.. They need as much time as they can get with KZ3.. It took them 5 years to get KZ2 out and it didn't even have offline/online splitscreen multiplayer a party system for friends.. Seriously they need to just start working on KZ3 and hopefully they get it right this time!

WhittO6215d ago

i havent play K2 in a couple of weeks !!

Its a fantastic game but i just never got used to the online, it just seemed to "clunky" and laggy (not gameplay lag but in terms of menus etc).
Every game is either like 30 min long which get very boring and repetetive or they just turn into a granade-fest !

Still has one of the best SP campaigns though, great to re-play that.

Nineball21126215d ago

@ 1.2

LOL... that's all I can say.

GG has earned my respect with the attention to details and the continued support of a fantastic game.

KZ2 has grown on me (no, not like a fungus!) and I find that I've been spending most of my gaming time playing it. The online is just insane at times...

And even though I prefer to play the maps without the rockets... even with them, it's still a blast (pun intended).

Nambassa6215d ago

can't wait til the party system. its the main thing lacking in killzone 2. well that and some co-op. hopefully killzone 3 will have some sort of co-operative modes.

Ju6215d ago (Edited 6215d ago )

@whitto, I figured for me, that "lag" is very dependent on the weapon I choose. Actually, I feel comfortable with the ISA assault rifle, and the Magnum. I get this "laggy" feeling with the other weapons, for some odd reason, but I like the subtle differences of each. You can tell, that the Helgan riffle is the same as ISA, but not as precise but has more punch on the short range (that said, I can play that gun, too, but its not my favorite). Its quite impressive how they could capture this feeling in the game. And for the frag fests, well, try to join games without grenade or rocket launchers. They are definitively better to play. They should however add a info page to each game, so you can actually read if RL or so is on or off.

DK_Kithuni_716215d ago

Goddamnit. How hard can it be? No teams please. I want to kill you all!

Kleptic6215d ago

^^Seb stated a while ago that an FFA mode may eventually come...they were testing it with limited classes; and the general consensus is that a mode with rifleman only, but just straight deathmatch may eventually come out...we'll see...

a lot of people want it...but most class shooters like this, all the way back to RTCW...never have FFA...it simply doesn't work with the map design, and completely unbalances the class system (everyone would go assault...it would just be quake III with better graphics...nobody really wants that)...

but put up a patch that has ffa with new spawn spots, and randomly spawn at any of them (can't be that hard to patch)...and just force everyone to be a rifleman...that could be a blast on certain maps with enough players...

WhittO6214d ago

Ye i think if they had an info page for each game (like Warhawk does on the right when searching through games), it would solve ALOT of problems.

Nambassa6215d ago

i hope new classes r saved for killzone 3. personally i dnt think we need any more classes for killzone 2. can anyone think of some good ideas for another class in kz3? we could tell GG. lol

Leogamer6215d ago

Ya know, Killzone 2 was my biggest disappointments of the year when it came to Multiplayer. To my dismay, Killzone 2 forces you to play the game the way it WANTS to. I mean 30 min. matches only? There's no, 'Free for all'? No, 'Capture the flag?' No, 'Team Deathmatch only'? No, cooperative gameplay?. Nothing? Nada...What a major disappointment when I popped this baby in my PS3. Talk about one hell of a gimp game. Instead, I got my copy collecting dust after I finished the single player campaign, while COD 4 & 5 still gets its normal rotation of gameplay daily. Lately I been playing capture the flag a lot on COD 5, which is freaking very addicting. Now why can't the developers implement that on Killzone 2. The long stretch out levels in this game is perfect to play capture the flag. But no, sorry kiddo, you play the game the way only guerrilla want you to play the game. Bull#hit!!!

Traveler6215d ago

I'm the exact opposite. I used to be a big COD4 player, but now I am addicted to Killzone 2 multiplayer and I haven't played COD4 in a while. Well, I did pop it in a while ago, but I am mostly playing Killzone 2.

Bolts6215d ago

Agree. KZ 2 is total awesome sauce. There are game modes built into every map and the 30 mins round buffer farming and stats whoring. This is the only console game I know that managed to bring the PC style frag fest and chaos of battle to the console, which I didn't think is even possible.

Anyone of you clowns ever play a 32 player CoD 4 game on the PC? Its like the same thing in Killzone 2, but only with more structure and a little bit more space. This is the only console FPS that doesn't leave me wanting for the PC version. Unlike say, CoD 4 or Halo. Killzone 2 does everything right all on the console. Not sure how its possible but it is.

chidori6666215d ago

i cant wait for see the olds maps of kz1 in the retro pack.

Fishy Fingers6215d ago

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing how the new engine handles different settings from KZ2. Vegetation etc.

UnwanteDreamz6215d ago

Agreed, I want to see the engine do some plants. Not because it fits in the scope of KZ2 but because I think they will look sweet.

LinuxGuru6215d ago

mmmmmm.....Killzone 2 plants...

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

UnwanteDreamz6215d ago

I want snow so that I may write my name in it.

Yellow Snow FTW!

Eagle9166215d ago

I use 2 have KZ1 on my ps2 but i never played it online because that was before i was into online gaming and it was also when i only had dial up internet. So to me those retro maps will be as new as those on Killzone 3:) I cant wait!

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

OtterX571d ago (Edited 571d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne571d ago (Edited 571d 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-ro571d ago

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

just_looken571d 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

MDTunkown571d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72571d 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_looken571d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya570d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast571d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood571d 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.

OtterX800d ago (Edited 800d 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-ro800d ago

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

darthv72800d 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_800d ago

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

Cacabunga800d ago

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

Profchaos800d ago (Edited 800d 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

seanpitt23800d 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!

Iceball2000800d ago

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

Father__Merrin800d ago

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

InUrFoxHole800d ago

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

Marcus Fenix800d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989800d ago

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

1Victor800d ago (Edited 800d 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 😱

800d ago
Michiel1989800d 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.

1Victor1104d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1104d ago

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

jznrpg1104d ago

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

badz1491104d 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!

Vengeance11381104d 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 Kim1104d ago

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

VersusDMC1104d 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?

Vengeance11381104d ago

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

solideagle1104d 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.

Phoenix761104d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM1104d ago

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

thesoftware7301104d ago (Edited 1104d ago )

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.

blacktiger1104d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1104d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1104d ago (Edited 1104d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1104d ago

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

Imalwaysright1104d ago

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