Although the recent software sales chart shows that Nintendo still have some fight left in them, it seems Sonys massively popular shooter 'Killzone 2'is being outsold by Microsofts equally massive 'Halo 3'. The real kicker, however, is that Halo 3 is nearing it's second birthday, whereas Killzone 2 is barely six months old. Halo Wars aswell, which launched in the same time frame as Killzone 2, is also hanging in at number 40."

SOCOM Confrontation bigger than Killzone 2, Resistance 2 says Sony producer (News)

What's the biggest online game on the PS3? No, it's not Killzone 2. No, it's not even Resistance 2. According to SCEA senior producer Mark Rogers, SOCOM Confrontation stands above both of Sony's high-profile first-party FPS offerings by having the most simultaneous online connections on the PlayStation Network. He attributes Confrontation's success to the community's commitment to the franchise. Whereas other gamers may play an online game for a few weeks and move on, SOCOM fans have proven to be far more dedicated (despite the game's ... troubled launch).

PlayStation 3 Trophies Dissected (News)

Jul 21, 2009

Achievements have been in video games for many years, though not in the way we know them now. Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64 rewarded players who completed goals with guns, cheats & special modes, while Spyro 2 on the original PlayStation rewarded players who unlocked 'Skill Points' with extra lives.

However, these achievements really created the foundation that PlayStation's Trophies and Xbox 360's Achievements and Gamerscore were based upon, although they were arguably not as rewarding or satisfying to achieve. As the months go by since the introduction of Trophies to the PS3 on July 2nd 2008, to compete with rival Xbox 360's Achievements and Gamerscore system, the challenges set by developers for Trophies have changed drastically.

No idea on when these will actually appear, or how much they'll cost, but if they're turning up on official trophy lists, they can't be too far away.

Killzone 2 sold more than Resident Evil 5 in UK (News)

Jul 6, 2009

Gamezine: 'According to ELSPA and Gfk Charttrack, Sony's Killzone 2 has so far sold more than Capcom's Resident Evil 5 in 2009.

What was most surprising when I was browsing ELSPA and Gfk Charttrack's top selling video games of 2009 was not that the list was dominated by family-orientated Nintendo Wii games, but that Killzone 2 was positioned ahead of Resident Evil 5.

If you look back to each of the game's launches, Killzone 2 managed to hold onto the UK All Format's top spot for only one week, compared to Resident Evil 5's three week stint. It's also important to note that the latter game was released for two platforms, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Moreover, although Killzone 2 released one month earlier in February, to beat out a franchise as popular as Resident Evil, even if only in the UK, in the first half of 2009, is quite a feat.'

The period also saw total sales of Nintendo's Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training surpass the three million units mark to become the UK's most popular game ever.

Killzone 2 v.1.27 Patch Now Available (News)

Jun 5, 2009

Now available to Killzone 2 gamers around the globe, Guerilla Games has released v 1.27, their 9th patch for their flagship title.

The patch adds new functionality that has been requested by the Killzone community and addresses several other issues as well. The patch is 75MB in size (272MB for Asian release).

Here are the details:

Killzone 2 Patch 1.27 Is Now Released. (News)

Jun 4, 2009

Patch is 76mb

Patch Information:

"First of all, Eric, can you run us through the highlights of Patch 1.27?

Sure! Most importantly, we've added functionality to make the process of finding and playing with friends much easier, tweaked the Skirmish Mode to keep it interesting for players with lower-bandwidth network connections, introduced a new 'High Precision' option to the controller configuration menu, and improved the overall balance of the game. There's also a host of smaller changes as well, but I'll save that for the change log.

Let's start with the first one: finding and playing with friends. How has that been changed?

We've examined how party systems work and added similar functionality to our game where possible. The 'Join Friend' option has been changed so that the player can automatically join a friend's faction and squad – even if faction balancing is on. In addition, squads and their factions are now persistent over multiple games, so friends can keep playing together continuously.

You said the Skirmish Mode been tweaked – can you explain?

Well, we've decided to unlock all the badges in Skirmish Mode. Considering that the game has been out for a while, and that many players have already reached the rank of General, we believe this is a nice way for players with lower-bandwidth network connections to experience the full range of weapons and abilities available in the Warzone.

Control-wise, what exactly does the new 'High Precision' option do?

When this option is switched on, it makes the analog sticks more responsive to small movements. Turned off, the controls behave exactly as they did before the patch. It's not a radical overhaul of the control system, so the layout and the 'weight' of the controls remain the same.

Still, a lot of us here at Guerrilla really enjoy the new High Precision option, so we've decided to s...

Killzone 2 not skipping intro movie properly, fix on the way (News)

Apr 28, 2009

Destructoid writes:

"Those of you who downloaded the latest Killzone 2 update last week may have noticed that the patch, while welcome for its new ranks and exploit fixes, carried with it an unfortunate side-effect. The intro movie, at least for some people, is refusing to skip despite players hammering away on their controls.

I noticed this at the weekend, when I was trying to get my daily KZ2 fix but was unable to shut Emperor Visari up. The game makes a noise as if it's acknowledged your controller input, but will keep playing the opening movie regardless, only skipping until several seconds after the Guerrilla logo has appeared onscreen.

We asked Guerrilla if this was a common problem or just my copy screwing up, but were informed via Twitter that we're not alone. Apparently, this was not a deliberate attempt by Guerrilla to force us to look at its logo and the team is planning to resolve this rather irritating issue."
