In the end we will all lose the demo

Games4Gamers4044d ago

None of this crap would have happened if Konami didn't remove the demo. They are seriously angering the gaming community

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen4044d ago

I just booted up P.T. on my PS4 and it works fine.

Wii_nes_0074043d ago

Just checked, mine works fine

bouzebbal4043d ago

this is more scary than actually playing P.T.
Konami are morons.. They don't even update their fans about what's happening..

From what the article says, everyone has lost it as of now. It well not pass the license check, and that will lock out all of your digital games. It says, if you have PT to unhook your PS4 from the internet until this is fixed.

UKmilitia4044d ago

im just thinking of all the consoles sold with the demo on it lol.

Pastorfuzz4044d ago

I'm also wondering if anyone actually bought one of those $1000.00 dollar consoles with PT downloaded off EBay?

rainslacker4044d ago

i saw some bids on them. The ones people were bidding on were going for between $500-600. Seems like a lot of money to spend on a digital demo which you could lose for a variety of reasons.

DRM is like a virus: It's delivered over the internet and you only suffer if you're connected or risk connecting.

This is scarier than actually being in silent hill!

DeadlyOreo4044d ago

Is this a one-off? Because my digital stuff is fine, and I have access to the PT demo.

hasamalaha4044d ago

I don't see anyone confirming it, but multiple people saying they aren't having any issues (including playing PT). So, it kind of appears that way for now.

WitWolfy4044d ago

That means that this can be implemented with ANY digitally bought item. FML...

DanteVFenris6664044d ago

Well they also have the power to do this too any PHYSICAL copy too. Our consoles are connected online so they could easily ask Sony to make a patch that blocks when you enter the game.

comebackkid98914044d ago

That's why I stay disconnected. I was going to pick up God Hand on PSN, now I'll hunt down a physical copy.

abstractel4044d ago (Edited 4044d ago )

Kind of. If you are connected online. For those that are completely offline, and only buy physical copies, they can play their games for as long as they want. The OS updates needed to play the games are on the disc. So if you're really paranoid and think companies are going to remove games that you have bought (they would be sued and loose, and they know this so it won't happen) then stay off-line.

Yes, you'll lose out on patches that fix games that at release have bugs -- some more severe than others depending on the game and of course any DLC but that's the environment we live and play our games in.

rainslacker4044d ago (Edited 4044d ago )

They actually may not lose. Even retail versions have the clause that the license to play them can be taken away.

Luckily, the publishers probably aren't going to want to test this in court where it can be put into precedent and finally put the issue up to the test. To date, that hasn't happened, which is why retail is still pretty much free to sell as you please. If they weren't worried about such things, we wouldn't have seen things like online passes or new purchase codes for free stuff.

Should the courts find in favor of the consumer, it means that all current TOS for every game and even software in general, goes out the window for that particular clause.

I'm not sure why publishers would feel the need to strip the license away from a paying customer, whether digital or retail, but it does happen in digital. I can't imagine the kind of backlash that would happen should a retail release actually have this happen.

DharmaDan1084044d ago

Man, I've lost all respect I ever had for Konami. I for one won't be purchasing Metal Gear Solid V, at launch anyway. Might get it in a future sale or even pirate it. F*** Konami.

abstractel4044d ago

I'll get MGS:V because it will most likely be a great game, but yes, Konami has really been f'ing up lately PR wise. They are not looking good as a company.

DharmaDan1084044d ago

Yeah I'll probably get it, but only to support Kojima.

InTheLab4044d ago

So many gamers will just eat whatever sh*t is shoveled their way for the sake of playing a good game. Not a fan of piracy for any reason but buying the game used achieves the same goal and I do support that.

comebackkid98914044d ago (Edited 4044d ago )

@dharmadan108
Why not buy it used? That new game smell? Kojima isn't getting a crum from you.

What happens when you make good games, keep it up konami, you've been doing great. Please do a AAA Castlevania too, or heck just start off remaking/remastering old games to play it safe.

Alek83128d ago

Bought both Castlevania Advance Collection and the Dominus Collection. I would absolutely love to have all the GBA games as well, and of course Symphony of the Night.

What I would really love though, is a true next gen sequel to SotN.

Cacabunga102d ago

Not any games: SINGLE PLAYER GAMES!!!
I bought Silent Hill and MGS3!
Keep them coming, i will keep supporting!

nommers128d ago

Hoping for a new rumble roses someday

Scissorman128d ago

that's what happens when you make silent hill great again.

Inverno128d ago

Ironic. Also I guess the whole "fk Konami" phase is over now that they're selling remakes of already great games. People are easy to please, just rattle pretty graphics them.

gold_drake128d ago

i mean, silent hill f is a brand new game and it sold better then silent hill 2 remake.

franwex128d ago

Woah, making good games that people want to play pays off?
Someone tell Ubisoft and Square-enix!

badz149128d ago

SE make good games. WTF are you talking about?

franwex127d ago

I don’t mean final fantasy. I meant their OTHER games. Like their Babylon’s Fall, Avengers, etc. Don’t be coy.

RedDevils128d ago

You must be living under a rock if you put SE in the same category as Ubisoft.

Reaper22_128d ago

Well,, I think all publishers have made some good and bad games. Its a risky business.

Nice. Im glad they are doing that.

Vits197d ago

Very unlikely to happen, but I really wish they at least remastered Shattered Memories. From a story telling point, that is still my favourite title and I think it would fit really well as a VR game.

gold_drake197d ago

why is it very unlikely to happen?

2 and f sold really well. especially f

if they nail 1, then im all on board

on_line_forever197d ago

When I want to play silent hill game I always expect to get the same atmosphere I was see in SH 1 & 2 with deep and great story connect with silent hill city (not another city ) so if Konami want to continue release new games it should based on the success of these games.

In my opinion I think the game need :

- improve combat ( no more action just improve the combat and physics)
- another good and deep story
- improve creatures and enemies design
- add mysterious puzzles and it will be good if these puzzles connected with game story
- and of course Akira should involved in the project.
- create mysterious characters

gold_drake197d ago

good, cause .. i mean, after 2, it kinda goes downhill.
off the rails after 3 ha

Miraak82 196d ago

I kinda liked SH4:The Room .. it was kinda weird ... in a good way

BlaqMagiq1196d ago

We need a Silent Hill 3 Remake after 1

Looks like Mobile is still their bread and butter. But I'm glad they are at least diversifying finally...

CrimsonWing69219d ago

Isn’t that the case for most in the mobile gaming market?

cloganart218d ago

It's just saddening to see.

TheEroica218d ago

My god what I'd give for a new Castlevania game.... Still one of the coolest IPs in gaming.... I'd love to play a AAA Castlevania game that gets the god of war treatment.... Treat the whip like a character. Simon Belmont.... Dracula. Go.
