Kotaku: The PlayStation Network Returns; Normalcy Won’t

Across North America yesterday evening, PlayStation Network returned after a 23-day total blackout. In a process spanning about seven hours, the PlayStation 3's online capabilities gradually returned state-by-state, beginning in New York and ending in Texas. As gamers rushed to message boards to verify the good news in their precincts, the news had the feel of an election night, one whose results were cheered and celebrated by all.

You can't speak of the truth on this site.

back on topic: Kotaku needs to chill out with the bs.

i think its a competition between ign and kotaku on who can write more hate articles about sony

i am guessing it wasn't eay to rebuild all the servers from ground zero and make huge changes

WHAT'S REALLY SAD INSTEAD OF GAMING COMMUNITY STANDING TOGETHER AGAINST HACKERS WE ALL WERE MAKING FUN OF EACH OTHER.

XBOX LIVE OWNERS WERE LIKE OUR SERVICE IS ON YOU GOT SCREWED

THERE IS A REASON MAIN MEDIA DOESN'T TAKE GAMING SERIOUS WE ACT LIKE CHILDREN

HOW ABOUT FOR ONCE WE JUST STAND TOGETHER AGAINST HACKERS WHETHER THEY ATTACK SONY OR MS

and if for any reason you can't seem to agree with that than you are a blind folded fanboy nothing less nothing more

peace out games for life against fanboys for life

PS:

ign and kotaku get a life

Sevir044722d ago

you guys didnt even read the article!

It was a very good read! here's a line from what was one of there best written non fanboy articles to date! 2 excepts

"Sony endured more than just the worst three weeks in PlayStation's history. It faced withering criticism from the press, government officials and, of course, its own customers as it labored to restore a global online service counting some 77 million users. Assuredly this will all become a case study in areas of corporate crisis management and network security. For now, Sony deserves our gratitude and a note of congratulations. It's Sunday; let the quarterbacking resume tomorrow."

"Yet let's hope the last major headline has not been written. That should concern the arrest of the criminals whose attack brought down PlayStation Network. May they face formidable and painful consequences."

these are the high points of a positive article!

i just hope sony uses this as a lesson learned, and act a bit more pro-actively in the future.

saoco4723d ago

they did. this isnt something that can be solved in 1 or 2 days. now i do agree that they should have better security. but the truth is that anyone can be hacked even the government.

thebudgetgamer4723d ago

i understand that and i am pleased they fixed it.

Istanbull4722d ago

You cannot blame Sony, they did everything they can to make the network running. Ignored for unjustified criticizing Sony.

dkgshiz4723d ago

Oh...its this shit site. I still remember that GT5 slow down video. So you can just shut your website down already.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO4722d ago

Lol, I remember that too. The journalism of these days are getting worse with crappy authors.

There are only few popular sites you can trust from the American journalism.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer1h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
