Forums - Sony Discussion - Killzone 2 NEW patch

Dryden on 06 March 2009

From the people that have been able to intelligently word their thoughts on the official forums, the two biggest changes appear to be that the deadzone is a wee bit smaller so the accel feels more linear now, and there is less inertia when turning so you're less likely to overcorrect when aiming -- the crosshairs stop when you stop. Otherwise, the "feel" is the same.

Essentially, the tweaks are so minor that if you didn't have a problem before, you probably won't notice the change now, and if you did think it was a problem before, this should make the crosshair a bit more representative of what you intended to do and less erratic.

It does play differently, definitely. Not as much weight , Faster turning, Quicker Gun response, Deadzone has been tweaked, <---- Multiplayer
Single player plays differently to what it was pre 1.2

 

FFS can a FPS not be even a little bit original?  I like the controls because they are different and a challenge to perfect.  Hopefully they didn't fuck with them too much

Why did they patch the controls? They were fine. Too many idiotic whiners who complained because they were no good at the game and that it actually takes skill. Oh well, I'll see what the new ones are like tomorrow.

It's apparently out in Europe (should be ready tomorrow in the USA).

 

I've heard that they have tweaked the controls a little bit. Is there any European poster who could give us some updates on it ?

 

Thanks

 

edit:

Here's what I found on Playstation's official boards:

Funny because playing the demo for me guaranteed one less sale purely based on the frustration of zoomed in aiming.  I would guess they realised there were people who had an issue and tweaked accordingly so we can enjoy the game too.  It shouldn't make any difference to such a skilled gamer like yourself to adapt or are you going to whine now?

This small tweak will bring some extra sales in my opinion, I'll be buying once I've retried them on my friends PS3.

If you were a developer and you got a 159 page thread complaining about the controls in your game, would you patch them?

Bloody whiners -.-

Ah well, I'll try it for myself.
