Interview: Specialist says "All Game Companies Should Prepare for Sony Like Attack"

In light of the PSN breach, many other companies within the gaming industry has felt the adverse effects of the downtime as Capcom revealed earlier in the month that the PSN downtime was costing the company a hefty sum of money. The situation could become more severe for other companies as the gaming industry is a prime target for hackers and future attacks similar to the one Sony was a victim of.

More like ALL companies that stores and make transaction using CC and personal information online including major banks. Users should be aware of that too, not just the companies.

banjadude4745d ago (Edited 4745d ago )

On one of the affliate N4G website (you know, the websites at the bottom of the FRONT page of N4G) said Ubisoft (or was it Edios?) recently got hacked too... TWICE!

This is getting ridiculous! :S

gaden_malak4745d ago

Square Enix Montreal was hacked, don't know about those ones.

banjadude4745d ago

Actually, in hindsight maybe it WAS S.E Montreal... thanks for the correction.

Either way... this will be detrimental.

Cmon Jayden, get those fancy glasses checked out!

I am a PS3 only user. I SERIOUSLY hope nothing like this hack ever happens to us again or any of my fellow gamers. This was rough on my days off and I don't wish this on the Xbox users. I've noticed a lot of jaded users "loling" saying the opposite. Best of luck to us all.

Not all game companies have shotgun security breachable from amazon run servers.

cyclonus0074745d ago

Since there's no industry standard, we have no idea what kind of security any game company has. And if they publicly told us, someone would find a way around it even quicker. We could assume but there's a saying about assumption being the mother of all fuck ups.

Bathyj4745d ago

No crap.

The whole time this was happening, I was thinking PSN was bad enough, but imagine if PayPal or Amazon got hacked.

Surely they have 10 times the amount of customers PSN does, and more likely to have a CC or bank account attached too.

KwietStorm_BLM4745d ago

Weren't they both hacked months ago?

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.

RedDevils5088d 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.
