Killzone: Shadow Fall Thread

Yes! I saw you in a couple matches yesterday. I had to stop playing for a bit, and when I came back, by the time I got in your match it was over. Have you seen any date for the new maps yet?

We'll have to play again! Have you tried that Voltage yet? That gun is so hilarious!

And no date for the new maps or the DLC.. :( But they are adding clans in a few weeks which is kinda cool. These people play really hard, I did some clan matches and well.. friendly fire with 3 v 3 and 4 v 4 is really strange coming from 12 v 12 with no care in the world for where your bullets or grenades go. They also disable abilities and weapons which I find strange but oh well. Oh yea my point, I got stomped on. I was pretty much a bullet sponge. *le cry

I have, and it is pretty amusing. I don't use it all that often, but when I lose interest in the match I typically bring it out.

I don't play well enough, or seriously enough, for proper clan play, so that update isn't of much interest to me. Glad it'll have the support, though. I want those new maps!

I am going to take a little break from KZ until the map pack comes out. I've been meaning to focus on AC4 and NFS, but KZ's mp has eating all my game time.

I tried inviting you to my game last night like 4 times, but you never came. And on top of that, each time I did send you an invite from within the game, all of the buttons on my PS4 controller froze up with the exception of the HOME button. I couldn't close, cancel, back, accept, R1, R2, nothing, but when I hit the home button, it took me to the dashboard. I then held down the home button, closed the application, and then restarted KZ, and tried again. Got in, sent you invite, and bam frozen again. I tried 2 more times and gave up trying to invite, and just played.

I saw you were in 24 player TDM, and I tried to join you, and it sat at the screen saying it was waiting for a slot...THEN it said you were no longer in game.

UGH
 

Ha, dude, I kept trying to join your game as well, and it would wait for a slot to open; I would get in, then, you were gone. So I backed out, noticed you were in a game again, and tried to get in again, same s***.

Next time I'll just invite you to my party.

So you're back Blue!? You couldn't resist the killzone, eh? haha Did you get to AC4 or NFS? I want to play!! Is this happening tonight as well?
 
started shadowfall today and I got through chapter 4. Enjoyed the space station level so much might replay it again :)
It was my favorite mission environment. I would like to see them do a game set entirely on a ship as a horror game. The atmosphere was great.
 
They updated the Killzone multiplayer dash. Integrated the clan support and changed the multiplayer UI a bit. You can use the touch menu at the main dash *gasp* lol
 
I can play for a little bit tonight...from about 330pm CDT to about 530pm CDT, otherwise, pretty open on the weekend and Friday night.

Can't tonight or tomorrow but Saturday/Sunday should be good.
 
killzone shadow fall patch v1.09 is out
By Bart Suichies on Feb 6, 2014 1:06:19 PM
Killzone Shadow Fall patch v1.09 has been released today. This update not only fixes various important bugs like the vc30 with the flashlight attachment and collision issues, but also marks the first step of our Clan system.

Here are some of the major new features we are delivering through Patch 1.09:



  • Clans
    While already available through the website, the functionality is now also implemented in-game. You can invite clan members to a party and clantags are now also added to the player name within the game. It can be viewed in the player card, in the friendslist, etc. You can check your friendlist by pressing touchpad or check the player card through the main menu (go to multiplayer > choose a warzone > press square > show the leaderboard & find the player you are interested in > press cross to open the player card).
  • Warzone discoverability
    We have visually changed the main menu of the Multiplayer and added a top-bar from which you can browse and create new warzones. Also, we expanded the number of recommended warzones to 9 and move the friendslist to the top-right corner. This should make it easier to discover new warzones.
  • New Warzone options: parties allowed
    Players can now select the option to allow parties to join a warzone. Just go to Multiplayer > Create your warzone > go to settings with R1 > Check ‘Parties Allowed’ at the bottom.
  • Checkpoint saving
    We have added additional checkpoint saving to save on every revive event, giving more save points throughout the campaign.
  • Ability to lock to 30FPS in campaign mode
    To guarantee a steadier framerate in the campaign mode, players can now lock their game to 30fps via the options menu.
  • VC30 exploit fixed
    The exploit that let users with a VC30 equipped with the flashlight increase their range has been fixed.


Also, we’ve fixed some bugs that should improve overall performance and rid the game of some collision/exploits in various maps.



We hope you enjoy the features and fixes introduced by this patch! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and on the Killzone Player Voice feedback system, and keep an eye on Killzone.com for more exciting news about Killzone Shadow Fall!

I want to play :( Please let me know.

LOL!

Anyway, I am finding the campaign to be fun. I haven't had any issues with the multiplayer HUD. Overall though, impressive patch IMO. Actually some meat to it.

Not the in game HUD but the UI for how you navigate the primary menu from when the game boots itself up. They cleaned up the multiplayer UI in a previous patch, making it easier to see objectives and your teammates versus your party members.

Yes, sorry, that is what I meant. The multiplayer UI screen/menu. I termed that wrong.

More games should offer a 30fps lock if they can't lock the game at 60fps. People that want it steady gets it, people who don't give two craps can have better framerate most of the time with a few slowdowns.
 
I'm going to get Killzone: Shadow Fall as my first game when i get my PS4 in a couple weeks. Can't wait to play the single player as i've enjoyed the past games. Just wondering though, is there a lot of people playing the multiplayer?

There are enough, player base hovers at a little over 2000. It pretty consistent. I usually play in the mornings PST though and I still find plenty of matches. When you get it I will play with you if you like (Australia right?). Most of the people on my friends list are avid players. They're more into clan matches though - they play hard. Its fun.
 
I haven't played it in a while mainly because I haven't had time. When I do have time I stick to single player experiences mainly.

There are people in MP, but not many.

Single player is fun, but I really suck at it. I keep dying over and over and over. But I will trudge through. I am playing it on normal difficulty.

Always make sure the Owl is doing something.

Do you not use your med packs? They heal you to full, increase your regeneration and give you bullet time when you use ADS. That might help you out a bit. What part are you stuck at?

I was stuck at the first level that has the woods...and there are 3 computers to hack, left, center and right. OWL healed me a few times, but I think I was just doing it wrong. I finally got past it.

It was about 2,000 a month or two ago too. So it has stabilized now (despite more sales), which means for every new gamer buying it, a gamer who bought it earlier has dropped off. By the springtime, I see this game at less than 1,000. Interestingly, CoD, BF and KZ all sold great, yet only the CoD and BF online communities held up. KZ's dropped off fast.

Hmmm, thought you had shooter skills. I didn't find the campaign too difficult on normal.If you don't hack the alarms all hell breaks loose and reinforcements come raining down. Don't forget to use the echo ability to see where enemies are but don't over use it because it will alert the baddies.

I know you have driving skills because your damn drivatar is always in my rear view mirror and in my rear view it will stay. ;)

How's Ryse doing for online player count?

Yup, it sucks but for whatever reason Killzone hasn't caught on like the other big budget shooters. Oh well, i can enjoy it if there's at least enough people to start a match with. That's all that matters to me. I don't get it though. Is it the game or the platform turning people away? I tend to believe that if Killzone was on the other console it would be more popular.
