It’s not big secret that NCAA Football 09 has some bugs. Enough so that many many people have been calling for heads on stakes. Yeah, that bad. EA heard them and has issued a patch for this year’s college football title.
There’s a ton of fixes (all listed after the break), but suffice it to say the game works as it should now. So if you’re an NCAA player and fan, this will make you happy. This is the game that should have shipped initially.
PS3 owners are having a good old time right about now. Yesterday, the Uncharted patch was released to add Trophy support. Today we get report that the Warhawk Trophy patch is coming August 27th.
No official word from SCEA yet, since this date was given for our European friends. I’m willing to bet they’ll be ready the same day.
We already knew that some Trophies could be awarded retroactively, but now we get to know that the coveted Trophies will be divided into four categories: Community Building, Game Mode, Vehicle and Warhawk Weapons. Can’t wait to see exactly what they’ll be. Hopefully more games with Trophy support come out soon, since this great new feature is being left alone as it is.
In an interview with IGN, Naughty Dog’s Arne Meyer confirmed that an upcoming Uncharted patch will bring 48 Trophies to the game.
You’ll be able to get up to 48 Trophies in Uncharted. There are 47 Trophies related to what you do in the game — finding treasures, hand-to-hand or gun combat and the like — and the last one is the Platinum Trophy for getting all the other Trophies.
All 47 will be directly related to the accomplishments/medals already in the game, so you won’t be too surprised to see what’s there. No word yet on which will be Bronze, Silver, or Gold.
Even without Trophy support, there’s more than enough reason to play through Uncharted for a first, second, or even third time. It’s one hell of game (I picked it for Game of the Year 2007). Can’t wait for August to dust this one back off. There shouldn’t be much else out then, so it’s a good time to get back into the game.
Get ready for some long downloading if you want to play Metal Gear Online. If previous patches are any indication, this is gonna take a while to get to you.
Hopefully this fixes a lot of the issues people have been experiencing after the botches Gene Expansion Pack launch. However, it’s known that the Reward Shop is not working after this update.
Maybe Konami will get this straightened out sometime soon…
That’s right folks. Those of you who’s 360’s are crashing from the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Beta are in luck. Even though Capcom said they wouldn’t be, a patch is in the works.
No word on what they’re fixing, but they’re fixing it. We tried to get in touch with Capcom, but have yet to hear back. Stay tuned.
This popped up on the Inifinity Ward Forums:
With the latest Playstation 3 firmware now available, I see a lot of questions regarding how it effects Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
At this time, we have no plans to patch in Trophy support for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the PS3. Much like DualShock rumble addition to the PS3, the support for these new features have come much to late for us to add it to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare due to our current production schedule.
All I can say is this sucks, I have an un-opened copy of COD 4 for my PS3 just sitting and waiting for trophies, but it looks like that dream is gone. COD 4 gets no rumble or trophy support, this is just horrible. This also is a sign of things to come, something tells me that we will see many other game companies use the same lame excuse and trophies will only become available for new games.
This is a big blow to the new trophy system for PS3.
Your multiplayer issues for GTA IV may be over. Rockstar has released a patch that will fix many of the problems that has been plaguing some users. Here is what the patch will take care of:
1. Fixed an issue where players were unable to enter or exit vehicles in GTA Race.
2. Fixed an issue where scripted vehicles were causing games to unexpectedly crash.
3. Improved reliability and frequency of PS3™ online leaderboard updates.
4. Fixed a rare hang some players encountered when moving from a Race or GTA Race lobby into gameplay.
5. Fixed a hang that would occur when players were switching teams during the countdown in the lobby.
6. Fixed an issue where players were able to get ridiculously high scores from Cops ‘n Crooks matches.
7. Changed GTA Race and Race so that the last player remaining always receives a reward of $250.
8. Fixed an issue where spectating players would prevent the game from finishing.
9. Fixed an issue where players were unable to spectate in Round 2 of Cops ‘n Crooks games.
10. Changed countdown timer in lobby so that it no longer resets when new players join a game.
11. Changed the kick option so that kicked players are no longer brought back to single player.
Rockstar is one of the best at updating their software in a timely fashion. The jumped real fast when Bully had its problems and they have really made sure that GTA IV stays a multiplayer juggernaut for months to come.
It hasn’t been that long and already Crytek has dumped support of their monster PC shooter, Crysis. The upcoming v1.3 patch isn’t going to see the light of day.
At this time, there almost certainly will not be a patch 1.3 delivered for Crysis. We are aware that this news will disappoint many of you, and we would like to apologize profusely. There is a good reason for this and we hope you understand when you hear more about the reasons why in the very, very near future. Please realize this was an extremely difficult decision, but please do know that we are listening to your comments and are making more consistent community support a high priority.
So what exactly is good enough reason to stop supporting the game? Will there be a sequel coming shortly? Maybe a console version? I doubt the game coming to consoles would be understood well by PC gamers. Whatever the cause, it’s pretty crappy that they’re done supporting the game after such little time.
Sony and Rockstar today released a patch (v1.01) for Grand Theft Auto IV on the PS3. The update supposedly fixes all those pesky freezing issues that have been plaguing gamers the past week or so.
Along with the freezing fix, the update smooths out online play and also stops the PS3 from rebooting when you hit the PS button and choose Quit Game.
I’ve personally only had the game freeze on my once, so I can’t really say for sure if the freezing issue has been fixed. Online play seems fine as well (again, I didn’t have any issues). Go fire up your PS3 and GTA4 and grab the 18mb patch. Come back and let us know if this fixes your freezing issues.
No word on when a patch will be available for the freezes gamers are experiencing on the Xbox 360 version of the game.
Fire up your copy of Warhawk on the PS3 today and you’ll be prompted for the new v1.3 patch. Here’s what this free update will give you:
Incognito is definitely putting in a good deal of time and effort into making Warhawk a prolonged success. I wish more developers would be as forthcoming and dedicated to their games.
