We always get shafted by Sony

Why do those of us in the EU have to pay more for the single packs and the bundle?

The US single packs are $5.99 and the bundle is $11.99. At today’s rate this is £3.64 (€4.21)and £7.29 (€8.42) respectively. Yet we are charged £4.99 (€5.99) and £9.99 (€13) !!

I know that the exchange rate fluctuates daily and of course you can’t change the prices every day to reflect that, so setting a fixed conversion for a time if fair enough. But it seems to me that this conversion is way out and those of us in the UK and Europe are being hard done by!

Hi Seb!

I have one question, pause u think that you will not continue to fix bugs in the game, respect me about Multi-Player of the game? In my opinion, the game still contains some serious errors (like spawn mysterious disappearance after x seconds, no-respawning enemies in bodycount, map-glitches, etc.) to discourage ever more and more players, because it directly affect the course of the match? Advance thanks for the reply.

GG is badass. dont flame them on pricing, thats just how buisiness works. Speaking of flaming, im looking foward to this 3rd DLC pack, reguardless of the fact that I’ve paid for each seperately.

Easily my favorite game of all time. I was hoping to enjoy this game at least until Modern Warfare 2 arrives, but damn Seb!
All of this DLC is so engaging that I cannot get bored with KZ2. I definately dont mind supporting GG. yall deserve a break.

guerrilla games’s genius with such beautiful warzones is so great to enjoy playing on. Now I know that ill be taking turns with KZ2 as well as MWF2. For what its worth, Infinity Ward has got some catching up to do with u guys n the game engine department. Yall’s engine is just a fanboys dream come true. Truly an awesome investment. cant wait to see what further enhancements are in store for it.

It solves a progression issue in the final section of the last level where some geometry was moved around and it fixes a crash in the third DLC pack that we only found after the DLC had been approved.

RIPOFF!!!!
How about a discounted price for dlc3 for us loyalists who paid full whack for the 1st 2 dlc?

I am NOT going to buy the 3th pack full price. This is a kick in the face!

Well it is more like 6 months. Admittedly some of the basic grey box and paper designs had begun before the game shipped, but we were nowhere near having them on the disc without delaying the game.
After the game shipped we had a lot more resources as well to concentrate on the DLC itself rather than being split up accross the whole game so it was easier and quicker to build them.

Also the basic building blocks for making these levels were already in place too so naturally it was easier for us to build them.

We released the DLC as quickly as we could.

I Seb great work until now and great game btw i’ve been playing it non stop…
I actually have a question about the new update 1.29 what does it do exatcly? i’ve been looking around in the internet and it says that it will fix the problems of 1.28… from what i read so far the game was crashing and something about the visari palace mission that i didn’t understand becuase i got the the end of the campaing only yesterday (been playing mostly the MP) and i didn’t see any problems with it… but yesterday my ps3 crashed while playing killzone 2 online it was the only problem that i encountered so far since the realease of patch 1.28!

@ Naeeni, you’re forgetting the small matter of creating the engine and tool from the ground up, scripting, casting, editing and developing a single player campaign. Creating all the textures, music, sound effects and voice acting and other in-game assets. Creating and testing the foundation for the online network and internet gateway etc etc etc.

I think it’s very unfair to water down Guerrilla Games 3 year development output to just 8 multiplayer maps – last time I checked that wasn’t all that came on my disc. Remember when we saw that infamous E3 CGI trailer that game did not exist in that form – they spent 3 years trying to make that trailer a reality and did a damn good job at it to boot.

To try and put it into another context, it would be like a creating a new Car manufacturing company – it may take years to build the factory and tools to produce the cars and develop a launch range of car models, but then it would be relatively easy to use that same factory to produce new models of cars in a fraction of time and expense it took to create the company from the ground up!

@ Ziggy-Moff, it it makes you feel better look at it this way…

“To celebrate the Launch of the new DLC pack for KZ2, priced at £4.79, it has been confirmed that the original installments released earlier this year will become ‘Platinum’ titles and will reduce in price to £2.60 each, those who are yet to buy them will therefore be able to purchase all 3 for £9.99″

Ok it’s not quite the same thing as you can’t get them individually, but the point is what does it matter that the bunndle comes out on the same day as the third installment – this bundle is discounting the first two packs when bought at the same time as the third pack for people yet to buy any.

Again to use my earlier Modern Warfare example, if Activision announced that on the same day as MW2 they will also introduce a bundle with MW2 and COD:MW for an extra £15, would it stop you buying MW2, just because you already owned COD:MW from launch and don’t need to take advantage of the optional bundle?

I still don’t see how you only made 8 maps on the disc in what 3 years? And now you have 6 new maps in 4 months, lets face it these should of been on the disc to start with.

As much as I like Killzone 2, I think Guerilla should move on, preferably to a new IP.

Its wishful thinking I am afraid.

Well some of the improvements were already visible in the “Behind The Bullet” commercial we released on PSN. Also things like the weather effects in the DLC show that we are still trying to make better looking environments.

There is still a lot to come from us.

@39

Guerilla stated a while ago that co-op will not be coming.

Hey Seb,

The bundle sounds like a great idea – I might just pick this up!

Also, I’ve been holding off on the main campaign mode, in the hope that some kind of online co-op mode would be made available (I much prefer to co-op campaigns these days!)

I know it’s quite an assumption, but would you be able to confirm whether or not co-op will be added to the campaign mode in the future? Are there any plans at all, or am I just wishful thinking?!

Great game!
