I have a PS3 and live in the US, never got an update notice when booting up the game. :(

when going too android storage the group just before the storage area gets attacked. The alien grabs one of the guys and takes him into the vent. A similar thing occurs again once a little later.

Doubt any of that has to do with the update.

Yeah, those bits were in the game before. I remember the first time I got to those parts - it took me a long time to build up the courage to advance, in case it was still hanging around!

As for those asking about new trophies/achievements, it's a free update so no extra awards.

It's a shame this wasn't out at launch (not a criticism) I don't think it would make a huge difference to my play style as I always managed to have maxed out items, a full tank of flame fuel and hardly shot anything throughout the game. I was a stealth ninja.

Yeah I played on Hard and other than running out of flame fuel a little bit towards the end, i pretty much had maxed out items for 90% of the game (I think I finished the game with maxed out items as well). I enjoy stealth games, so it suited my play style. I might give nightmare a go, but the lack of ammo counter is my main concern,

It is very much about understanding how to play the game. If you have the right mentality and the patience you can play the game without the frustration that seems to hit a lot of people.

Just gave Nightmare a run. Loving the atmosphere now, this is how Hardmode should have been, no HUD. The only thing I find that might be troublesome is the total removal of the minimap, even when you find those map boards its still blank, and you may need to recall your previous playthrough to navigate through some parts, or actively remember where the areas are. Its still an enjoyable experience for a second playthrough, with the Alien now even more actively hunting you and you only have what's on you for getting around. A lovely challenge.

Just because it's free doesn't mean achievements can't be added. I've had a couple of free updates in old halo games that included new achievements... But anyway, thanks for the info. Now all I need is for the update to APPEAR for me! Lol

Fair enough. Either way, this one doesn't :)

Well why'd they announce that the update was released for all platforms? Am I the only one who never got the update? Or is this common for all xbox360 players? Wtf?!

The Xbox 360 Update is live now.  About 902mb.  Seem to be no additional fixes other than the inclusion of the two new difficulty settings.

I'm really happy they came out with Novice as well. Not to play it on a easier difficulty but to be able to explore more of Sevastopol. I really like how the game was made and I want to see more of it without constantly having to run away from enemies.

Engineer

Yea I finally got the update... I'll stop griping now! :-)

predxeno

I consider Novice to be the amateur level setting but I'm pleased it came out though, hopefully I'll have an even easier time now getting the "Don't Die Once" trophy.  Once that's finished, the Nightmare level setting is going to be the one intriguing me. ;)
