Killzone 2 patch on Wednesday

By Tom Bramwell Published 20 April, 2009

Play with Japanese, loads of tweaks.

Killzone 2 will be patched to version 1.24 on Wednesday, 22nd April at 8am GMT, preparing the game for an influx of Japanese players later in the week when Guerrilla's highly rated FPS goes on sale in the Far East.

The 57MB patch also prepares the game for the Titanium & Steel downloadable map content due to go on sale through the PlayStation Store on 30th April at an undisclosed price.

In a post on the official US forums (thanks Kotaku), producer Seb Downie also included the changelog, highlighting tweaks, fixes and minor new features.

These are mostly trivial additions, like an increased radius for the radar and a join-game filter for 17-24 players, although 1.24 also squashes a few more exploits - this time on the Helghan Industries, Radec Academy, Salamun Market and Tharsis Depot maps.

You may recall that Guerrilla previously said "glitchers" risked "losing their PSN ID altogether". Play fair, kids!

    "a join-game filter for 17-24 players"

    Very nice addition. 32 players is just way too crowded on most of the maps (although still often good for some chaotic fun), and the next step down on the search filters is 16 if I recall correctly.
    I've barely touched a console game - including KZ2 - since I bought a new gaming PC a few weeks ago, but I'll definitely be back when the new maps are released, if not sooner.

    farticus loves PS3. Strange how he hasn't been commenting on the article on the home page about E74, probably doesn't bother him as he actually doesn't own a 360.

    Sounds like a good patch. I wonder if I can convince my cousin to buy this. Probably not.. He only has Little Big Planet and NHL09 so far :/ (relatively new PS3-owner)
