Four Reasons Why PSN’s Return Might Be Taking So Long

GameThirst - Are you not infuriated at Sony? Because I know I am. The PlayStation Network was hacked three weeks ago, and Sony’s yet to bring back the service online, and the entire industry’s feeling the blow. Developers are feeling it too, with Capcom now complaining of “millions” in lost revenue. But at the end of the day, no one feels the pain more than Sony. Its install base is pretty disgruntled, some are leaving to join Xbox Live, and the media is pumping bad press to millions of potentials consumers.

I reckon the only likely one is unforeseen issues

movements5491d ago

I'm going with cross-game chat and in-game video chat!

rabidpancakeburglar5491d ago

then you'd be wrong unfortunately

Wobbuffet5491d ago

Yup don't get your hopes up about added features, the community manager mod on ps community forums has already made clear this is a security update only.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

lazertroy5491d ago

My guess is a whole revamp of the PSN,New XMB the Works.

Graey5491d ago

After say a month I'd see if I could revamp the network with added features. I'd release a press conference. And state around what time frame were looking at having it back, and for that I'd revamp the thing. This is only if it was down for say a month.

Perhaps they are laying the groundwork that allows for future add-ons like chat to integrate better into the system.

Mrwidz5491d ago

Which ever reason it is, Sony can take as long as it wants. No point integrating a system that you spent 5 minutes on for it to go down 5 minutes later.

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 Souls5827d ago

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

Godmars2905827d ago (Edited 5827d 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.

ClownBelt5827d 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-Pyro5827d 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.

Anon73495827d 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.

RedDevils5827d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5827d ago

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