Starhawk patches applied without update

The freshly announced PS3 exclusive Starhawk will be able to fix bugs and other gameplay issues without having to go through the regular process of bulky updates and lengthy certifications, according to Sony.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at the game's London reveal earlier this week, SCEA senior producer Harvard Bonin confirmed that "if we feel like, oh boy, the Kinetic rifle feels awfully overpowered - and here's why - then we can make a quick fix, and you won't even know it actually - it'll just be live on our end."

sort of cloud patching then.

Veeger5152d ago

Works well in Uncharted 2 MP so why not.

Danielmccue5152d ago

It works terribly in uncharted 2, it would actually be faster to just update it instead of the game syncing for five minutes.

For me anyway.

Veeger5152d ago

I see. The sheer horror of waiting the eternity of 5 minutes for a game to get better.

TomInc5152d ago

I hope so, updates annoy me on te PS3 at the moment.

bumnut5152d ago

Ive managed to install operating systems on pc's faster than some of the ps3 games patch.

Updates are a good thing, but im not sure why they take so long.

TomInc5152d ago

That's my issue. That and the screen UI is a bit boring.. but when is watching an install bar not I guess

captain-obvious5152d ago (Edited 5152d ago )

OH MY GOD
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO

now we have to wait for ever to get in to the game
because just like uncharted 2
each freckin time you start the MP you have to wait like FOREVER for this update thing

F that

not good
not good at all

i hope they change it
THEY HAVE TO

like
when i want to play
i just want to get the disk in and just PLAY
if there is an update cool i'll play another game for now and just update it late on cus i just dont like waiting

but with unchaterd its like NO
you insert the game
it goes on all the way to MP
and then you have to wait
i swear to god i once had to wait for like an hour or so for the damned thing
is my internet slow NO
i even hardly lag at the MP it self

its just the thing it self is slow
and i dont know why in hell it doesn't save the update
i dont know if its only me
but every time i start uncharted 2 MP the game updates no mater what
a very long boring update

@below
fanboys
thats why
they just cant handle the truth

ChilliDemon5152d ago

Dunno why you are getting disagrees. You are totally correct about Uncharted 2 MP updates. So annoying, they take forever.

xAlmostPro5152d ago

Well what's more annoying.. putting on the game and having to quit and then install it then restart the game.. or waiting a few minutes before a match while it updates..

This also isn't uncharted 2.. they stated "you won't even realise"

Corrwin5152d ago

Cool, but we've heard this before from Naughty Dog about Uncharted 2. The multilplayer may be patched, but you still needed an occasional regular patch to download .

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake433d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX433d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer433d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils433d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg433d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1510d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991510d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!
