Article:
Today is a great day indeed. Your faithful developers at Titan Studios and team at Sony Santa Monica Studio are extremely happy to announce that after careful thought and great labor, Patch 1.03 is complete and ready for imminent release.
Patch 1.03 contains the awesome New Pork city level, and due to the amazing support we have received from the community, we have decided to release the map for free! Yes you heard us right, for free!

Just as important, we have implemented many fixes and tweaks to make the game better than ever. The Fat Princess demo will also go live with the release of 1.03, so everyone who has been dying to try out the game can finally check it out. Huzzah, cake and candy confetti (see below, if you please) for everyone!
1.03 Patch Notes
After playing innumerable games, reading the forums and piles of email, and reviewing all the great feedback we received from you, the fans, we have made a variety of tweaks to the gameplay balance and systems to ensure the game stays fair, fresh and as fun as ever.
Here is a full breakdown of all the changes that can be found in the upcoming patch:
New Map
A brand new awesome city map has been added called New Pork…and it’s free!
Game System Tweaks
The host’s ability to kick and ban players has been removed.
The ability for players to switch teams post-game is now restricted so that sides cannot be unbalanced by more than 2 players.
A new switching team system has been implemented during matches:
* If there is a deficit of 2 players between teams, the weaker team will drop a team colored ball on the death of a player.
* Picking up the colored ball switches a player’s team and rewards them with a 300 point bonus.
* So…get the ball.
The 10 game average ranking system has been removed.
A new ranking system has been implemented, which adds rank points for every game based on the player’s score.
Awarded ranking titles will now never go down once earned.
Online leaderboards have been increased to display all players not just the top 1000.
All online leaderboards are to be reset shortly after patch 1.03 is released, but all unlocked customizations and trophies will remain unlocked. You will not lose them.
Main Bug Fixes
The Princess disappearing bug has been fixed.
The issue with statistics and trophies not saving correctly has been fixed.
Character Balancing
The Dark Priest’s lock-on range has been reduced.
The Dark Priest’s drain ability has been slightly reduced.
The Ranger now has larger movement penalty when locked on and charging attacks.
The Adv. Ranger has a smaller shot dispersion and increased damage per shot.
The Warrior’s attack damage has been increased slightly.
The Warrior’s movement speed has been increased slightly when locked on and charging attacks.
The Warrior’s 360 degree protect when his shield is raised has been increased from 20% to 40%
Warrior’s Lock on range increased to match Ranger to stop class being hit from behind when retreating
Warriors weapon collision box increased in size to aid with hit detection
Adv Warrior speed increased slightly when locked on and charging to match his normal movement speed
Adv Warrior damage increased
Adv Worker’s bomb knockback force removed
Princess calorie burn decreased slightly in weight state 3 and 4
Control Tweaks
Two new control schemes have been implemented to allow players to use the R1 button to attack and to free the player’s right hand for target switching. This is AWESOME.
Scoring Updates
New switching team bonus added of 300 points.
Princess rescue score increased to 300 points.
Princess rescue assistance bonus increased to 150 points.
Princess escort bonus increased to 75 points.
Win game scoring reduced to 150 points.
Match completion bonus added of 75 points.
Average Rank bonus award removed for games won under 3 minutes.
Bonus score for winning games in under 3 minutes removed.
Additional Tweaks
Candy confetti added as a special effect when blood is turned off. Check this out – it is really cool.
All loading screens now in color.
Loading screens now allow players to scroll to next and previous tips during the load.
We look forward to slaughtering you – ahem, seeing you – on the battlefield!
Cake for everyone,


heres (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/10/fat-princess-demo-patch-1-03-new-pork-map-is-free-oh-my/) the scoop

Sweet dear baby jebus.

yay a reason for me to buy the game

hooray!! I was hoping the new map would be reasonably priced, but free is awesome!!

best thing there.... R1 to attack.... thats huge. and the warrior did need help. But that looks like a awful lot of help.

to this day I still have not seen as many people on 1 game as I did that first saturday night on PSN after release. I have 80 + people on my friends list, and 37 out of 38 people online at the time, were playing fat princess that night, the 1 other person was playing singstar. That was rothbart. lol

were playing wright now come join us

I was hoping that the first DLC pack would include the Pirate and Ninja classes that were rumoured to exist. That being said, I can't wait for the release of this, it seems the non-magic classes will be more balanced.

that's crazy they're releasing it for free, but i'm sure it makes good business sense as well. as the teased new classes demonstrated, they still have a lot of content left to make payable. So this may be a great way to get people back into the fold before they roll those out.

I'm going to assume the number of players dropped off pretty drastically for Fat Princess, so by releasing the new map for free (patches should always be free if they are fixing problems/bad gameplay issues), they hope to get people excited about it again. Then, in a few weeks if the play remains high, they can release paid for DLC such as the new classes.

Sorry, I hate fat princess, nobody will talk too me :O

Just for those who want another article (http://www.destructoid.com/fat-princess-getting-a-new-map-demo-and-patch-soon-152950.phtml).

cool, looks good! :grin: :thumbsup:

I hope the new patch helps connect to a game... I really enjoy FP when I play full games

I think its a little too late, to get too much attention.

I finally decided to install the patch today, and I'm quite happy with the new map - blows all the other ones out of the water.

I don't think one new map will keep me interested for long, FP does seem to be something you can only play for an hour before getting bored and leaving it for weeks. It's a good game, just lacks enough to hold my attention.

i wanted to get this but it was to expensive this might urge me to get it 4 christmas.

have not gotten the patch or dlc. have no planes to. playing new ratchet and clank and uncharted 2. sorry FP

Hmm...if you already have Fat Princess, not sure why you won't want to download the patch. The patch is only 27Mb, the map is included in it and is free.

But yes, the new map is rather cool. I patched it played it for a bit.

I still have a hard time connecting to a game that isn't on my friends list. I can start a game and have people join, but I don't always want to be host.

I have the same problem. I can't get in a game if one of my friends isn't hosting. That is a shame too. I really like playing Fat Princess!
