Does Latest PSN Update Spell Long-Term Fan Backlash?

If you wanted to play SOCOM 4, Mortal Kombat, or Portal 2 online and were enraged that you couldn’t do so on your PlayStation 3, well, let’s just say that the unavailability of online gaming should be the least of your problems. PSN users are now being asked to monitor their credit card info closely, as an unknown hacker has managed to breach private information: that entails names, addresses, and phone numbers in addition to the aforementioned credit card info.

Yes. COD players can't go a day without COD. they most likely bought an Xbox 360 already.

ionlyneedonebubble5495d ago

lol, at this point i dont understand why people dont have both consoles anyway... step ur game up

Muerte24945495d ago

I agree with you because that would kill fanboyism is its tracks. I was a multiple console owner at one point. I just was tired of replacing my 360. Besides most of my friends own a ps3. I have never been a fan of Natal/Kinect. I really only want one game on the 360 "Gear of War 3". I just don't think that one game justifies buying a $199.99 system.

But his point is that you would be still gaming online right now if you had multiple systems. If playing online isn't your interest then I see your point.

GoW and Uncharted are great games to play through again offline.

BUT... the point in this article is that consumers seem to be allowing their fanboy goggles to paint a rose colored image of Sony in their view. Similar possibly to all those that stuck around with Microsoft after their console issues?

But this is not so much a hardware issue as it is a company not being able to secure it's information... wether it be a poorly written code or the lack of encryption on personal information data, seems like Sony has the appearance of not thinking security is their issue?

Muerte24945495d ago (Edited 5495d ago )

I see your point and maybe I misunderstood him. I actually don't mind the downtime. I check my email daily to make sure my account wasn't affected. But besides that I have been going back to revisit the single player aspect of the game I've purchased. I can only hope that Sony puts a nice spin on this by revamping the PSN. Allow the freedom in has with just a bit more structure. just a couple of examples:
Universal invite system (EA Crysis2)
Cross game chat (helps if you in multiplayer more than single player)
Simplify the XMB
Custom Live Wallpapers

To the people who disagree with the whole "cross game chat", it was the most wanted feature at one point. We were on the verge of getting it until the updates became less about features and more about "security". If you go to the site where you make suggestions to Sony for PSN, Cross game chat is still high on their list. In the past we have gotten what we've wanted and complained for.
In game XMB
Live Wallpapers
But since then, we have been ignored on everything else. If you don't let them know you want it, you will never see it.

iistuii5495d ago

That's exactly right. I've both consoles, yet at this moment I've just bought Socom 4 and portal 2 on the PS3 and I wanna play them online. Forget all this bullshit excuses for Sony, it's not good enough. It seems to me if Sony was hacked once a week these fools would still defend them, just makes me ask myself why.

CarlosX3605495d ago

Nah. Sony and PSN will be just fine after this hacking, I am not mad at Sony at all. In fact, this makes them look better. GO SONY! :)

DarkBlade46585495d ago

I don't really understand how having such a weak infrastructure and the fact that everyones personal info being stolen makes them look better...

Marquis_de_Sade5492d ago

I ask myself the same thing every time I see a mindless fanboy lavish praise upon sony for this.

CarlosX3605488d ago

Because dude, companies as large as Sony get hacked all the time. Its kids like GeoHotz that ruin it for us, the consumers.

athmaus5495d ago

I think it does, for them to lie about it this long...

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde22d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy22d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12522d ago (Edited 22d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory Announced

A new book detailing the artwork of the franchise has been announced

robtion287d ago

Let me fix this title to something less click baity for you:

New Book: Mortal Kombat: Flawless Victory Announced.

Garethvk287d ago (Edited 287d ago )

The description clearly says what it is. It is not like people have to click to the site. They just have to read.

robtion287d ago

Sure they don't have to go to the site but to get to the description they already have to have clicked on it. Thus the term 'click bait'.

Rebel_Scum287d ago (Edited 287d ago )

If its a book say its a book in the article title. Everyone’s gonna think this is a new game and get annoyed reading your description.

Garethvk287d ago (Edited 287d ago )

The Mods had no issues with the title.
The first line under the image says new book and you can see it in the preview windows without even having to click to read the description.

It also says a Visual History on the image.

Rebel_Scum287d ago

On desktop and mobile the text a visual history is not visible in the thumbnail on the homepage.

I grew up on this stuff. Adding it to the art collection!

I do hope the next MK iteration goes back to the core of what made these characters appeal in the first place. A few of them lost their edge - I think I've had enough with some of the auntie designs 😂

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

djl3485368d ago

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_92369d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil368d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb368d ago (Edited 368d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
