I hope they get a security system as good as steam's, steam guard is very useful and combined with gmail 2 step verification it means the chances of my accout being hijacked are virtually nil

blumatt4750d ago

It's possible since they're a lot closer now, with Portal 2 being released with Steamworks support and Cross Platform play between PC and PS3.

They're newfound relationship might help Valve help Sony.

I know this isn't about features but while they are at it can we PLEASE get a name change feature on the psn? I mean only thousands are asking for it.. -.-

Craptain_Steel4750d ago

So my brothers broken ps3 is what it needs to be reset on? Great.

BrianG4750d ago

It is great, just call customer service. They are nice people, called them a few times before.

shadowknight2034750d ago

I once had a jerk who was very sarcastic..but that was once out of like 6 different occasions.

gaffyh4750d ago

@Craptain_Steel - I just added an alt source from a story that was live a few hours ago. I was also thinking the same thing, but apparently that's not the case.

Ser4750d ago

"or through a validated email confirmation."

Didn't you see that? ^

DaTruth4750d ago (Edited 4750d ago )

Crap!!!

*quickly leaves to change access code for email that is the same as my PSN code*

Yeah, I hate remembering ten different codes!

Edit: Problem solved!

colonel1794750d ago

No.. you won't need your brother's broken PS3. They will release a firmware update to change passwords, this is the password that will need the ps3 your create it on in order to change it again, although will not be the only option.

Venom2154750d ago

i just cant wait for it to go live.

slaton244750d ago

disagrees he isnt talkin about live(360), he is talkin about it goin online

BubbleSniper4750d ago

look at the assholes who dont want PSN to go back up... sometime N4G users r similar to indigestion...

slaton244749d ago

tell me about it...i just wish fanboys stay with there on topics because all it does it starts a mess...but yeah cant wait until psn is back I see almost on everysite may 3rd

Nodoze4750d ago

Sony's road to recovery

Step 1. Fire the hosting provider IMMEDIATELY
Step 2. Sue the hosting provider
Step 3. Locate a new SECURE data center
Step 4. Bring PSN back online

BubbleSniper4750d ago

they polly, already did somethin like that

they fast trackin this as much a multibillion $ company can

C_Menz4750d ago

This is an old article... Sony already said today that any ps3 you have used before with an account(an activated the psn name one or downloaded something) will work once the PSN comes back up. Why are people still fear mongering?

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 Souls5077d ago

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

Godmars2905077d ago (Edited 5077d 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.

ClownBelt5077d 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-Pyro5077d 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.

Anon73495077d 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.

RedDevils5077d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5077d ago

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