Killzone 3 1.04 Detailed, Fixes Lots

TSA writes:

"Hey, how’s Helghan? Still the inclement, crap-hole holiday choice for sadists it’s always been? Of course, you may not even know if you’ve been getting the indomitable “the universe is full” message of late. Either that or a host of other issues that may be styming your Helghast-hammering enjoyment.

Luckily, Guerilla Games are on hand to tidy up the place a little for your next potential visit, as Killzone 3 1.04 has just been detailed for release next week."

I see a good number of items addressed there that have been brought up multiple times on the official forums. Not all, but a good number.

Rival_315231d ago

The patch is looking good. But sadly they forgot to put the mute all button in this one.
:(

sunnygrg5231d ago

I still hope they bring back custom soundtrack and the ability to spawn on your squad at some point.

NewMonday5231d ago

Big fixes for the medic class make it relevant again:
- Medic's revive cool-down reduced from 25 to 10 seconds
- Increased range from where friendly players can be revived - player can be revived from 20 meters now

Other gameplay stuff:
- Players now have more stamina by default. Sprint length is increased but the recharge timer has been adjusted to compensate
- Mortally wounded players no longer have collision. Alive players should now be able to traverse the levels without getting stuck on mortally wounded players
- Guerrilla Warfare games now last 15 minutes and it takes 100 kills instead of 50 to win
Also lots o bug fixes

NiKK_4195231d ago

awesome game just got awesomer

ChineseDemocracy5230d ago

Stoked about the medic fixes!

Didn't see a "fix" listed, but hopefully that bug where one map is stuck on replay is dealt with.

blitz06235230d ago (Edited 5230d ago )

Ridiculous. Not one change to the Marksman and Infiltrator classes. Or even equal map distribution in warzone. 95% of my warzone games have been in Salamun Market a kz2 map wtf!

"Gameplay - Guerrilla Warfare games now last 15 minutes and it takes 100 kills instead of 50 to win"

Thank god, this is what I wanted. Guerrilla warfare was way too damn short.

Brodiesan5231d ago

That's some list of fixes!!!

Blad3star5231d ago

but you notice how the issues go undetected here on N4G: )

If this was a COD game it would be plasterd all of the front page.

NukaCola5231d ago

COD wouldn't address issues. It's fanbase doesn't care about the core like Killzone or Halo community does. Most COD players just take it for what it is.

ddurand15231d ago (Edited 5231d ago )

none of these issues are game breakers like some of the COD issues that were plastered everywhere. They patched KZ3 almost as many times in 1 week that COD has in 3 months.

and I have put many hours into COD.

Redempteur5231d ago

@Blad3star

tweaking the medic revive range is not a issue

it's a balance fix ...
i didn't see any reset of stats or matches that last 1 min 10 thanks to glitches ..THAt's the difference between COD and KZ

Blad3star5231d ago

@Above - I was going to chnage my comment and say that I have not played KZ3 and if the issues arent game breaking then the fixes arent that big of a deal.

hamburger1235231d ago

Theres a difference between fixing and improving...

garos825231d ago (Edited 5231d ago )

call of duty 4 still has issues(and thats been out for years)when i play it once in a while so dont give me crap bladestar

on topic ive been heavily affected by network issues they are having and havent been able to connect to a single online game yet but this news pleases me as it says it will address the 10002 and 8013 errors ive been getting.

the single player game was great for me and now i want to give the multiplayer a spin.anyways here hoping that next week my issues will get resolved. but thanks are in order to GG for quick response

RyuCloudStrife5230d ago

it been 10 days since the game got released, we already had 1 update not so long ago. Now they are announcing MORE updates on the way .. How long and far in between are CoD updates? And also as I recall one of those updates given to CoD actually made gameplay WORSE..

Stop talking out your arse get you things straight. And dont hate on a game thats superior to CoD:BO in EVERY ASPECT, at least GW listens to us and fixes what needs to be fixed instead of toying around...

dooge5231d ago (Edited 5231d ago )

If it only fixed my terrible kill/death ratio...
;)

redsquad5231d ago

Ha ha, true - It won't make me suck any less at KZ3, but it should make me enjoy having my arse handed to me even more.

dlohnug5231d ago

dont worry about your kd ratio in killzone 3, that game is too fun to worry about, just play for the team, and you will have more fun than stressing over a kd ratio :P

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic215d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23215d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1215d ago (Edited 215d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger206d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

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

1Victor781d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar781d ago

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

jznrpg781d ago

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

badz149781d 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!

Vengeance1138781d 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 Kim781d ago

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

VersusDMC781d 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?

Vengeance1138781d ago

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

solideagle781d 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.

Phoenix76781d 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

REDGUM781d ago

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

thesoftware730781d ago (Edited 781d 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.

blacktiger781d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca781d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy781d ago (Edited 781d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain781d ago

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

Imalwaysright781d ago

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

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1532d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1532d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1532d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1532d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

1532d ago
Vegamyster1532d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1532d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1532d ago (Edited 1532d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1532d ago

I rather play it when it's available then wait 10 years.

MadLad1531d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1532d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1532d ago

Been playing mgo on pc with mouse. It's not perfect but I can make it work.

Binarycode1532d ago

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

Omar3li1532d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
