Guerilla Games: We totally hear ya, but we can’t do a party system for Killzone 2

Fans have been clamoring for a party system in Guerilla Games‘ blockbuster of a game, Killzone 2. In fact, they’ve even got an online petition going around, asking for this very thing. And yet the devs seem to remain unmoved by these cries for a party system. What gives? Senior Online Games Designer Erik Boltjes finally responds, and what he has to say about Killzone 2 not having a play system with friends can be found after the jump.

Senior Online Games Designer Erik Boltjes finally responds, and this is what he has to say about Killzone 2 not having a play system with friends:

Hey guys, I totally agree with you; we should have a friends-party system. Unfortunately due to reasons I cannot go into here, it isn’t as easy as ‘just implement it!’ We are however investigating what we can do to resolve this obviously missing functionality. Keep on fragging!

Need friends.

Actually, we totally get that. And although they weren’t able to give us a clear answer as to why they cannot just implement the party system, at least they were kind enough to acknowledge that it is a kickass feature that’s sorely lacking from the game.

Come on, I don’t think not having this system should be enough of a liability to make it undeserving of that perfect ten score, right?
