Gears of War 2 updated last night with a patch that includes quite a number of fixes for multiplayer and balancing issues as well as some new features.
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts players gaming on antique standard-defiinition television sets have in some cases been unable to read dialogue text, which shows up fine on HDTV sets. This is kind of an issue as there’s no voice acting in the game and the dialogue delivers clues for what you’re supposed to do next. Originall, Rare’s George Killion said SDTV was SOL and there would be no fix.
As we mentioned over the weekend, fixing the Monk’s Abbot quest glitch in Fable II was a priority for the team at Lionhead, so we got in touch with Lionhead Community Manager Sam Van Tilburgh to see how that was going. The good news is that the issue has been fixed! We’re keeping a close eye on our forums, while a lot of the issues reported are not issues with the game necessarily, some of them are (like the two examples mentioned in my blog) however and so we’re looking at those, plus some (like the Abbot Quest) have been fixed already. The biggest issue is when people report a show stopping issue on our forums without enough information for us to reproduce it. Regarding the ETA for said patch, there is no news yet.
