Brink Developer Speaks Out on PSN Outage

With a heavy focus on online, FPS Brink released at a rather inopportune time, with the PlayStation Network down. Game Director Paul Wedgwood has spoken about how the PlayStation Network outage is affecting themselves as developers, and also talks about people venting their frustrations at Sony.

"You can certainly understand why people have been so frustrated, and it’s because Sony have been providing such a great service, so you care about the fact that it’s gone now. So in some ways, it is actually really a compliment to Sony."

toxic275490d ago

I agree. No one would be complaining if the service was crappy

BakedGoods5490d ago

Brink + PSN is make or break for them. If Brink *still* sucks even with PSN online I'm trading it in ASAP.

R_aVe_N5490d ago

That is completely true if the service was bad people really would not care that it was gone. You can see by all the b!tching here that they want the service back.

ikkeweer5490d ago (Edited 5490d ago )

I agree that the service was great (depending on the game), but you have to admit that three weeks is a long time.
my experience:
week 1: OK, no problem. shit happens

week 2: Hmm, must be something serious, hope they get it back online soon

week 3: They better hurry this up or I'm gonna sell my PS3 and buy an XBOX360 (joke, I have 66 PS3 games, so not really an option)

week 4: dunno yet, but I am losing my patience.
I don't play online that much, but I miss it a lot allready, I wan't to play KZ3, MAG (yes still) and even the world-statistics for Dead Nation.

Don't tell me to play offline, I do that all the time, I want my combination of online and offline back.

Please Sony, have your brick-cyber-wall ready sooon so I can fight my online-enemies fearless behind it

MaxXAttaxX5490d ago

I miss the quality goods PSN delivered.

Right now I don't care about any extra features. All I ask for is PSN back online!

Probably the stupidest comment I heard about PSN going down yet. "The only reason we are so mad because it was so good!!! NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY!! YEA!! GOOD THOUGHTS! NOTHINGS WRONG!!! YEA!!!"

The sad thing for Sony is the timing -- right before E3. I guess the worse timing would be DURING E3, or right after.

stevenhiggster5490d ago

It's gonna be worse this way than if it happened during or after E3. With this happening before E3 people are gonna be waiting to dump on Sony all through it, I just hope they get it up and running asap and pull some awesome shit out the bag at E3 to make up for it.

SpaceSquirrel5490d ago

I hope PSN can get back up soon so that I can finally play Socom 4 online

ftwrthtx5490d ago

I'm just about completely done with everything offline.

decimalator5490d ago

wow, that's a lot of games! ;-)

Araceae5490d ago

Same here. I also want to play some more Killzone 3 and Brink. Hell, I haven't even tried Brink yet as it's primarily an online game.

Lindsey5490d ago

He doesn't seem to worried.

Ima9er4Life5490d ago

Finally someone that knows how shit works. To all the selfish spoiled "My Mommy bought me this", and 360 fan"kids" out there. It ain't sony's fault, its those bitch hatin nerd ass hackers. Stop ruining everybody else's fun for you to make a stupid "virtual" point. I hope you get caught and the "REAL CRIMINALS" shove a keyboard in ya ass. Then you'll feel like a punk, not a bitch behind a keyboard fuckN everything else for everybody

GoldPS35490d ago

Dude you scary lol but yeah I agree with you.

I am upset that PSN is down too. I think no one expected it to be down this long but security is very important and it must be done.
