It's been a full 24 hours since the new firmware 2.40 was pulled from the update servers. Loot Ninja heard from Sony yesterday that they were looking into the issue, but that's about it. A post on PlayStation.Blog saying the same was put up yesterday around 7:30pm ET. Nothing else has been said. What's the deal?
Loot Ninja spoke with Sony's Jeff Rubenstein who confirmed work is still being done to fix the issues. "We're still examining the cause of the problem. We'll announce as soon as we are ready to resume the system version update."
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
I have 2.4 running sweetly on my NZ-Spec 60Gig (Upgraded to 320 GIg), along with the SSHD trophys patch. I hope they get it sorted quickly for all those that have had issues since the upgrade.
Got mine in the morning yesterday. I Have 5 trophies so far in Stardust. Hopefully it comes soon for all you guys that don't have it yet.
For the very few people who actually encountered any problems it shows a lot how Sony is dedicated to working with its userbase to resolve any issues as soon as they arise.
Even though the problem was very contained (as opposed to how the media tries to portray it) Sony's willing to look into these issues.
Well, its funny how that PR guy from Sony dissed Xbox Live once FW 2.4 came out (I actually agree with some of the things he said though), yet they had problems getting it to people and still haven't fixed it. Perfect example of self ownage. Things like this happen and they are expected to get fixed in a quick and orderly fashion, but Sony can't seem to figure it out so I guess the best bet is to wait.
