GG response about controls

http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=killzone2&thread.id=143456

 

i think it won't affect much. but i think this is very bad decision for GG, not providing party system

 

video demonstrated KZ2 controllers lag, (connected via usb)

I see you have no idea about the game, you dont need a party system for the MP due to the way the game is laid out. People are just expecting COD controls for everything, this is Killzone 2 and most people got used to the controls after a small amount of time. Then again if people want COD controls, it's there as an option.



 

In the OP's first link it gets shut down by beta testers, lol. They said the beta had a party system.

Can any beta testers confirm?

^Ignore that. Only made me feel foolish as I read the first link further, lol.

Alright, best thing I found in those links about party system was this.

Q: Party system?

A: No. You can join your friend(s) in their game VIA friends list.


What exactly does that mean?

 

EDIT - Supposedly it works liek Warhawk. I have never played Warhawk.

"I was in the beta and can confirm that theres no party system. We betatesters posted a thread on the official betaboard for killzone and requested a partysystem but it was too late in the developmentcycle to put in the pastysystem. GG felt  that join you can use the clan system wich pretty much works the same way or join a friend to get play with your friends."

there is workaround, as on boardus, but it is not real pary sysem at all.

Yeah I saw that too. Check my first post. I scratched it out once I read further down.

I also heard GG said it put too much strain on the servers.

After reading this thread though it doesn't seem all that bad anyways.

party system? controls? they wont stop sales at all! when people play a game they get USED to the controls. no one expects every FPS to have the same controls.



Can someone explain what a "Party System" is?




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

It's kinda halo thing, when you invite people to your party, and than together play match after match with other people.



There are multiple control schemes in case you don't like it and if you think the aim is to slow you can adjust the sensitivity to make it faster..

it doesn't need a party system like CoD because unlike CoD it has a clan system that works and you can join your friends games via friend lists..


honestly people will say anything to make this game look bad... -__-
