Fat Princess's patch of ample proportions

by Xav de Matos { Aug 4th 2009 at 3:15PM }

As Fat Princess fans have already realized, Titan's portly PSN exclusive is plagued with connection and balance issues; but a fix is on the way. While Titan Studios has yet to put a date on the upcoming patch, it has revealed a list of some of the issues that will be addressed. According to a recent post on the dev's blog, the patch will tackle connection issues, lag, hosting problems, scoreboard errors, dead hat machines and scoring exploits -- to name a few.

The plump princess's dev team has also compiled a growing list of balance changes and feature requests based on player feedback for future updates, including the addition of new modes, maps and classes to an already rotund release. Titan promises an online FAQ will be made available soon to address upcoming changes in greater detail -- a full listing of issues and future changes can be found after the break.

shadowhowl1900 @ Aug 4th 2009 3:21PM

oh and plz also add a time limit for capture the princess.
some games i have been in have gone way too long.

Solution: team with the most kills wins

oh and a sliming cake isnt a bad idea really

That's what happens, it just takes 45-60 minutes to get to the timer.

Dirty @ Aug 4th 2009 3:22PM

Just fix it first. Then add to it. Jerks.

I LOVE YOU.

tariq @ Aug 4th 2009 3:23PM

Holy $#!%! If that's coming in the next patch... thats offering more than the game itself.. 0_o

Val @ Aug 4th 2009 3:29PM

Nerf dark priests plox.

tlwizard @ Aug 4th 2009 3:28PM

That's not coming in the next patch. Only the exploits and bugs will be fixed.

They are looking into the other list and basically said in their blog post, "We get it. We understand people are intrested in these things. So we're talking about it. IE you don't need to keep sending emails to request it."

MystileArmor [Wiizer Sweatshop Bathwater and Sam Raimi Specialist] @ Aug 4th 2009 7:41PM

I'd freakin' run it as tap water.

Heavytoka @ Aug 4th 2009 3:33PM

I've been lucky the last two days and have had no problems with the game, but now that I say that I probably won't be able to sign back in lol

Captain__Planet @ Aug 4th 2009 3:36PM

Just so you guys know, those pics are very ancient.

oompafwa @ Aug 8th 2009 8:17PM

I had the beta and my biggest complaint was you had to win the lottery to connect to multiplayer after waiting 20 minutes or so I would just give up.I bought this thinking that they must have fixed it but no now i will wait to play..

drdre74 @ Aug 4th 2009 3:56PM

Well it would be nice to get the connection fixed ASAP! I've gotten into 2 games all weekend. Last night I tried for 10 min to get in a game even when my friends are online playing with open slots i cant join in I get kicked back to the main menu. I paid 15 bucks for this game to only be able to play single player.

Nate Addison @ Aug 4th 2009 4:07PM

I think some of you ppl r just 2 impatient. Of course the idea is to play online instantly and at a whim, but if you would try to get in for more than 10-30 mins, eventually you will get a game in the mode you requested. Sometimes it takes me close to an hour to get in but once I'm in it becomes worth the wait. Thats why I'm about 25 wins from my 100 win trophy.

Mr. Joe @ Aug 4th 2009 4:15PM

so after this game has been out for almost a week, how is it? worth 15 bucks?

Mo @ Aug 4th 2009 5:01PM

its fantastically fun... for me anyways

no1 on my list to play with

add me: psn: moyayo

SkizzNutt509 @ Aug 4th 2009 4:22PM

DUDE THIS GAME IS WORTH IT! i have a job so 15 bucks aint much i.m.o. but it was worth every penny.... you could play forever.... replay value is super high like a giraffe's P***y

PolkOut.com @ Aug 4th 2009 4:33PM

Is there single-TV coop? Like split screen?

abdull @ Aug 4th 2009 4:38PM

I was gonna buy the new cod waw zombie map but this game looked too good to pass up. hope they fix the connection problems.

Barry32171 @ Aug 4th 2009 4:55PM

I'm in the middle of downloading the game as I type... Hope the new patch comes fairly soon.

Fanandualum @ Aug 4th 2009 11:43PM

You people should just start a new game yourself thats what i do and its awesome in the end of the game because you become a reaper(or something like that) sure it takes a while for people to join but its not that bad because of the ai in their place.

definitely worth the wait and well worth 15 bucks this is a must buy

as for improvements...
-definitely need more classes or at least something higher than the lvl 2 upgrades
-fatter princess would be funny... like to the point where you need more than one person to carry her maybe all 16 have to group together!!! that would be one fat princess!!!
-also the "HUD" should show the princess current fat level so you know when to feed her more cake
-slim fast would be a great idea but limit it because i can imagine people lining up at the other castle with slim fast ready to steal your princess
-keep cake as infinite

Charging $15 when they knew about these issues long ago is completely unnacceptable. I bought it day one assuming they fixed the connection issues during the delay. Had I paid 10 I wouldn't have minded so much. They should definitely toss some free dlc to early adopters.

Since Thursday I've probably wasted 60 + mins of my life trying to get into various games. Time is money bitches, fix the damn thing already and do your best to earn our loyalty back.

I know I sound pissed, I am. This is my favorite PSN title so far, but the connection issues are really that bad. Worst I've ever seen.
