Numerose novità inserite.
Guerrilla Games ci informa che è disponibile a partire da oggi il nuovo aggiornamento alla versione 1.10 di Killzone 3, titolo del genere FPS in esclusiva per Playstation 3.
Le novità introdotte riguardano innanzitutto alcune caratteristiche richieste dagli utenti attraverso il forum ufficiale, una fra tutte la possibilità di impostare quali armi e classi usare nelle partite personalizzate, ascoltare la musica preferita dai brani salvati su console durante le partite multiplayer, e una opzione “Chat Vocale solo della Squadra” per evitare di ascoltare in gioco anche le voci di altri giocatori che non fanno parte del vostro team. Durante le partite online, il sistema Macthmaking adesso ricalibra i giocatori scambiandoli anche di fazione quando queste dovessero essere sbilanciate tra una partita e l’altra solo se i giocatori non fanno parte di una Squadra. Non ha effetto nelle partite personalizzate e nelle sfide tra Clan.
Come sempre sono stati risolti alcuni bug minori.
Di seguito la lista in dettaglio delle novità:
Patch 1.10 is here! This version introduces a large number of fixes and new features based on your feedback. Please consult the patch list below to see what’s changed. Patch 1.10 will be released today for SCEE and SCEA territories, with SCEJ following soon.
NEW FEATURES
- Custom Games, Part 2. Additional information can be found at the bottom of the article, but it will include: choosing abilities, weapons and careers, as well as toggling functionality such as ribbons, skills and explosives.
- Squad Only Chat. This is still an experimental feature and may not always function as expected.
- Playing Audio/Music from your PS3 during MP games.
- Marksman Improvements:
- Cloak rippling effect has been increased.
- Cloak now ripples with increased intensity when firing non silenced weapons.
- Transition from uncloaked to cloaked has been extended.
- A cloak fade transition between moving and not-moving has been introduced (player no longer snaps out of view).
- Distance Indicator for off-screen medics.
- Matchmaking. We will now make players switch faction automatically at the end of a round if teams are unbalanced. Note that this will only affect players that are not in a squad or that have sent an invite to create a squad, and that it will not happen at all in Clan games or Custom Games.
- You can now only submit another grief report for the same person if at least 7 minutes have elapsed since the previous one.
