Update on Killzone 2 Issues

Posted by GamersDigest in News, Sony PS3Feb 28th, 2009 | View Comments

Seb Downie, the Producer over at Guerilla Games made an official update on some of Killzone 2’s issues.

He talks about the removal of bots from online multiplayer rooms, statistics, the official site and issues in general.

Find the full response below;

Bots

“This is a temporary solution to the complaints regarding the cheaters.  We will come up with a more suitable and elegant solution which will require a little time to be implemented, tested and deployed, so we ask you to be patient and remain calm.  The patch you will have downloaded should have disabled the bots from the game creation screen and set them to zero in your custom game.

As for the people who have already ‘padded’ their stats, we’ll have to talk to the online mods and get their take on it. No decisions made yet.”

Stats Wipe

“We will not be wiping the stats completely.  The game servers have been up for a number of weeks now and more than 220000 stats have been posted.  I think we would be in quite a bit of trouble if we wiped those now”

Kz.com

“www.Killzone.com has been battered quite a bit the past 2 days.  More than we anticipated that it would and we’re busy getting it back on its feet.  It will be back up and running full-time soon enough.”

General

“We’re watching the forums very carefully and recording any complaints, network errors and as much as the feedback as we can, but the traffic is so massive that we cannot answer all your questions and respond to all of your concerns.   We are continuing to look at the complaints of controller issues, network errors and suggestions on improving the game as a whole.  Some of these things can be solved quickly and some will take longer term solutions.  Any changes will require development, extensive testing and integration so we don’t take any steps backwards, but we’re getting there and we’ll continue to improve the game for a while yet.  So stay calm, watch this space and let us go and sort these things out for you.

Its been a long wait and expectations are high, but we had a great launch and its only going to get better.  See you folks online shortly.”

    Konami released the much anticipated MGS4 only to find out it needed constant updating. This shows one thing, the bigger and better the game the more updates it's gonna need. Long live the next gen of FPS and TPVS games. Snakes gun has been hung up for now, he's not as young as he used to be. Bring on Killzone 2 I say it's always nice to have a new challange and 32 player battles. Jolly Good Show.

    Umm.... Blizzard?

    And as good a game as this is turning out to be, I don't see how they could be considered one of the "best developers EVER". They've now made 1 great game. If they keep it up, sure... but they're not quite there yet.

    And Rind... relax. All online games have flaws when released to the masses. It's expected, and this case is no different. The fact is they are working to make it better, which is the important part.

    "Give them a break, they made a great game!"

    What a CROCK. They made a BROKEN multiplayer experience even with all this extensive time since they announced the game, to when they release it. No other developer gets any graces, Guerilla Games doesn't either. The game isn't a good multiplayer experience, PSN is not good enough yet, and people need to take off the rose colored sunglasses and give them the grilling they deserve.

    I've got the game too, and this crap is definitely a load.

    Gawd, gotta love the spammers... Can't get away from them. Anyway, Guerilla Games have really proven that they can make amazing games - you could say this is their big break. I'd still say the best five are Capcom, Nippon Ichi, Criterion Games, Sega and Atlus, though.

    But enough of that - I'd say it's nice to see that they're keeping us up to date with developments and they're being very quick with the fixes even though there's a lot more work to be done than just creating and implementing a code through a patch.
