Guerrilla Staying Vigilant Against PS3 Hackers In Killzone 3
The absurd rise of hackers on the PlayStation 3 has gamers and developers concerned alike. Killzone 3 players hopefully won't need to worry, though, as developer Guerrilla Games has pledged to "aggressively" watch the new game's servers.
Guerrilla producer Steven Ter Heide told CVG that the team is "working with Sony on the moderation side." How will Guerrilla keep a handle on rogue players? Ter Heide explains:
"...We have to step up as developers and say, 'OK what are the holes in our game, what is the data, can we analyze that and see where the problems might be?' We can look at the leaderboards and the stats that most people are playing with and say, 'This doesn't look right. Can we look into that and see what's happening?' That's the reality now, we have to keep patching the game to make sure we keep getting one over the hackers."
Here's hoping Guerrilla manages to stay on top of this pressing issue better than other PS3 developers have.
