Please Note: The important info is that of the external services which have since been resumed. I agree that the PSN gaming network stuff has already been submitted.

when are they going to fix this? I woke up early to play some Blazblue before going to the beach and PSN's still down!!!

DontShoot-Me-Bro4770d ago (Edited 4770d ago )

I know right, I wish forum moderators on the PS Forums, people who work on the Official Playstation twitter would keep us updated a bit more, see if the timeframe is going to be shorter than first expected.

They initially said 2 days at the most. ergh :(

But it started on Thursday, so is that Thursday-Friday = 2 days or Friday-Saturday = 2 days.

Max Power4770d ago (Edited 4770d ago )

And there is a lot of time left in Friday, and I believe those were estimates not set in stone.

RedDead4770d ago

Atleast you ain't paying for it.

I_find_it_funny4770d ago

this is getting a bit too frustrating

jjohan354770d ago

Transparency is the best way to deal with crisis. This is really embarrassing. So much for showing off the PS3 to my visiting friends and family on easter weekend. Looks like 360 will be dominating this holiday.

X-DominusRebellis-X4770d ago

I agree, therefore, you get a bubble. I was really looking forward to popping open some skulls on BC2, but instead wandered the New Vegas desert killing fire geckos...sigh...the freakin thing is still down. A little information from the PS Forum mods would be helpful.

trancefreak4770d ago (Edited 4770d ago )

4uking my killzone 3 time up for my weekend!

jjhoan35 you remember when xlive was down over xmas 07? Well according to some the xlive service is one teh best because it has xross game chat. yes yes it does and it ROCKS!!!

Besides jjohan35 capitalizing on an playstation issue/ outage. Guess what sh1t happens and life goes on.

Even though I can't play co-op with my brother in Socom 4 im not bothered in the slightest because I have plenty of games to play and catch up on.

Right now im knee deep in Dragon Age 2 and I love tthis game.

It'll be fixed when they they get whatever it is gets straightened out so people who live only for online play can finally get back to their precious CoD, or whatever other online game they play.

Eyeco4770d ago

Only sony can release a multiplayer specific game the day they close down PSN, good job sony.

mrv3214770d ago

I'm no Sony marketing guy but I can safely say Sony probably didn't choose to close it down... I am going to say it was Anon.

n4gisatroll4770d ago

Socom 4 sucks anyway, worst socom yet.

Snake Raiser4770d ago

I've never seen/heard of Anons doing anything like this. They have only ever done DDOS, prank calls and (attempted/failed) sit ins. If it was crashing due to server overload it could be Anons, but Sony has the power to fix that in a few hours, not days. I've also heard that the problem originated in Japan. I doubt the Anons have much power in Japan.

Snake Raiser4770d ago

However, with that said, i'm sure members of Anonymous will try to take credit for it.

trancefreak4770d ago

ANNOYS is denying it check out this Cnet article today!

Patience Peaceful_Jelly, I know it sucks but whatever issues that Sony is encountering with the PlayStation Network and its related services will be fixed soon. I'm pretty sure they are working like crazy to fix this as this is time and money they are losing.

In the meantime, there are DOZENS of things for you to do when the PlayStation Network is down. I'm 100% CERTAIN that there are some single player games out there to take your attention during this time.

As for me, I couldn't play Socom multiplayer, or Portal 2 with a friend, so I decided to tackle Dead Space 2 on hard core mode (freaking hard, not even close to done), going to play Crysis 2 (Xbox 360) campaign this afternoon, or if there is a friend nearby then LittleBigPlanet 2.

*sigh*

looks sony blaming their network problems on someone else. What happened to the problem was related to japan? Was that not enough positive spin that now they have to blame others.

TronEOL4770d ago

Lets hope this passes soon. I REALLY want to play some RDR. Also wouldn't mind getting some Uncharted 2 matches in while they're doing 3x Cash weekend.

Electroshocked4770d ago

RDR online is great, I love shootouts, used to be #3 in shootouts, they were the ''days''

slaton244770d ago

they had an article statin since issues hace arised on PSN they will release 3x cash next weekend

nskrishna24770d ago

It's taking quite a long time.

I just wish it comes back online soon, can't stand a few of my buddies who are smug about it...

younglj014770d ago

Cool give me more time to finish S4.I have plenty of Sp games so im not in a rush.

RonRico4770d ago

Nope. But the does say the PSN net is being fixed, if you try to log on manually.

DigitalHorror814770d ago

I can't even get into it on my laptop with my MediaGo and I was going to buy Legend of Mana this morning. SAD FACE!

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5088d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905088d ago (Edited 5088d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5088d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5088d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495088d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5087d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5088d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
