The statement is so empty and missing so many things that could have been said before and after that it is IMO useless.
Why do other developers not say things like this anymore obviously they have learned to deal and probably benefited. I hate this half quoted articles just to start wars. Was it alien and hard to work on, was it alien but a cool challenge. Don't just quote part of a friggin discussion and if this is as far as the interview went then the interviewer is a tool and should have asked more questions. This just looks bad for brink developers for no reason. I'm sure by the look of the ga...
@Non_sequitur I agree in the most part but the disagree button is the bane of my existence it's a complete cop out most of the time it's fanboys just disagreeing for no real reason. The disagree button should include some type of forced comment displayed to only me if necessary. 1) it might make me think twice before I make a dumb ass comment because I don't want to receive a tone of messages in my N4G message box and 2) I will at least know why someone disagrees with a comment...
I have not heard of anyone but xbox making a bad system since I started enjoying this industry 30 years ago... I don't think sony created a bad system IMO unfortunately no one has devised an inexpensive way to disperse the heat these new systems create. I was not perfect but I also used compressed air etc. it probably was not in quite an open enough area but whatever like I said my comment was not a bashing comment my PS3 was good to me and I will stand by it... to be honest and IMO (aga...
ok I guess your right their I read to quickly and goten used to everything with 360 in it being trolling...so sorry mr over use of the lol so that goes out to the other trollers and the rest of my babbling still stands as a whole lol
oh and for the record while we are rightfully calling people out for errors I didn't defend the ps3 though I simply whined about the whiners and xbots
EDIT: and also sorry little drunk and babble'y I do go back to my orig...
@ Karan7
ya because everyone was so good at that when microsoft fucked people releasing a consol that then knew would RROD and everyone said F them when they canceled all kinds of peoples consol because they modded them instead or making a consol that couldn't be moded in the 1st place. If people can't forgive Sony for being violated like this but can forgive M$ for all the BS they do then I give up on people.
if you all think you can do a better job then go call sony up I mean give it up people life will go on at least you are not in the middle of an earth quake or starving in some country with no water or food. This generation of me me me is getting so out of hand we are so used to getting what we want when we want it and if we don't we all turn into babies. wah wah wah grow up. ok I'm done
Ya I'm sure you can predict the future they tried they failed I'm sure this is a monumental task and I would prefer they do it right then put it up and have it crash or get hacked again. Lots of single player games you remember those before we even had online right.
Good 4 u I still have my PS3 I can still play better games then you.
One stupid comment deserves another
edit: I wasn't getting excited I just think it's a stupid comment borderline trolling no one cares if you have a 360 like most of these comments they don't really add any value to the conversation it's just people wining or making dumb ass comments which I'm used to on N4G I just singled you out because it was another attempt to jab p...
Ya I found out about this but REALLY wish I had known about it a week ago as about 2 days into psn being down I got YLOD while playing portal 2. Keep in mind as well though you can not de activate your account on existing PS3 you want to trade until PSN is back up in some fashion.
Unfortunately the band aids some people were able to do with a hair dryer has failed for me so I unfortunately loose out on the $200 bones.
Just before anyone disagree with me beca...
disagree with me all you want have you or any so called "security experts" checked out Microsoft, apple or any other company for that matter. They probably all have something outdated or not as strong as they could do. That's what I'm saying all these companies spend countless dollars to beef up security all to probably never have anyone even REALLY try to break the wall down. Until someone succeeds and it's all eye's on them. Even if the other ones are making th...
So I wonder if you are a fan of any sports team how many times have you switched teams??? I can tell you this my loyalty for x-box never started as their inability to service their clients or do anything other then purchase loyalty. They released a product they new had a high fail rate because they wanted to beat the competition of the starting line and only after they had a mob on their hand did they finally man up and fix it. Also after many people gave up and stupidly replaced their sys...
How do we really know if this is fact and secondly how de we know this would have even stooped anything. This information security is changing so quickly and it's so easy to find someone who has key's etc into systems that I wonder sometimes how redundant some of this stuff is. I get that it's necessary to keep everyday people out but rean guru's can get into whatever they want. This discussion is mute... someone did something ilegal and they new was wrong and sony is payin...
What is the point of this do we even know who Anon is there as bad as terrorists it would be like fighting ghost.
so if they made up speculations of what might have gone wrong even if they ended up being wrong the media would not have spun that... give me a break it doesn't matter how anyone handle anything the media does what it wants to get hits. we have seen it countless times in every form of media and worse in this gaming environment as far as I'm concerned.
As for the down for a week before any announcement was made I didn't go looking everywhere but attached is someth...
the problem is no one left them a note this is the 1st time they have been victimized and now they are fixing it. When it comes to this security you could spend endless amounts of money always making it beter and beter all for no reason... when do you stop... If you keep adding locks and security systems and never get robbed are you going to keep adding more security. They and all other companies I'm sure do. Do they do enough... they don't even know until something as drastic as ...
Why would they do like the media and make up fact or put information up when they have not verified the answers. That would have been great. We think it was a that happend but we need to investigate further, no now we have proof it's b but we still have to investigate... oh no it's c for sure now but we are still investigating. They told us what they knew when they knew it and I'm sure there is some info they have to leave out for legal reason etc. This would have looked worse...
You tell that to a rape victim... We all are victims from time to time and all could think of things we could have should have done after the fact. She could have kicked him she could have taken self defence courses. Sony could have put in more fail safes they could have increased security... whatever they were victimized plain and simple. Did these people have a right to do what they did no did they have a reason maybe but there are other ways to voice that.
I appre...
Thanks CPTN MITCHELL
I did try this but didn't work had the hair dryer in it for more like 20min but maybe I will give it another try. EB Games is giving $200 for old fat systems so would love to get it working again. Not that I like screwing ppl but I don't have the coin to buy a whole new one right now.
again as said above all it means is this so called journalist left out important parts of the discussion. What developer would say it was alien and say nothing more to backup their product and ability this article is useless. Let's just wait and see the facts when it's released.
