Killzone 2 to Be Patched with Co-Op Soon After Launch [UPDATE]
UPDATE: Gurreilla have confirmed to us as well as PSU that there will be no co-op in Killzone 2, at launch or in a patch. More here.
Original Story: 7 weeks.
Thats how long we have until K-Day arrives when Killzone 2 finally launches on February 27th in the UK. With an epic story, a multiplayer which will rival that of Call of Duty 4 and graphics which are very close to Crysis like stuff, you cant help but be excited for Killzone 2.
But it seems that there are a few people miffed about one thing: no co-op in the game.
It probably wont bother most people that are buying the game that it doesnt have co-op but it will piss off a few peeps.
However, for both camps, good news, there will be co-op down the line according to Gurreilla Games.
According to a ‘GAFer who played the game at CES last week, a rep from GG said that a patch for online co-op will be made available later down the line after the launch of the game. He also mentioned the fact that the version he was playing a the finished Gold Master version of the game.
It was the same level that we’ve seen for quite a while. Game runs very smooth and the lighting is amazing (as we all know). The rep made a comment about not having split screen co-op due to the amount of data that’s streamed off the disc. He mentioned that they’re currently working on online co-op to be patched in at a later time. The controls were a little slow for me but I’m sure it’s just a quick sensitivity adjustment in the menu. Game looks great, especially on the new line of Bravias that they were setup on.
Hmm… wonder what the co-op experience will be like for Killzone 2, 4 man co-op?

if this is true, i really dont see how this game can get anything below a perfect score….

Well Sasa, the co-op does not come with the game and when you write a review you review the game with what it has, not with what it will have.

Yes! This game just got a little bit better! God, I hope the hype is right, if this game bombs it’s going to be so sad and not just for Sony, for all PS3 gamers

This is coming from experience, I have played the BETA for this game. And am a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, Killzone fanatic, I can tell you right now from playing it the grapics, gameplay, and mechanics exceed that of any CoD,Gow, Game. Those games while great, are nothing as promising as Killzone 2 will be. If anything, games should defiantly pick up a few tools of the trade and learn from this game.

so is there going to be spilt screen co-op or just online co-op???
January 13, 2009 at 2:23 am
I suspect thats not true. Seeing as GG have stated that there won’t be a co-op mode not too long ago

This rumour has been floating around since leipzig 08 and its never officially been confirmed despite how willing GG reps are to tell people when no one else is around. I’m sure it’s bogus.
