Whats funny about the video is not only this guy shows that he is clearly online but he just happens to have 3 friends online too. Its one thing if you are helping to test servers but whats the chances that 3 friends are too. I smell fakeness.

leogets4730d ago (Edited 4730d ago )

by a select few he may mean in his region. or he has faked it to get millions of subscibers wanting the next video update. hmmmm dont know man. everyone bullshits over the web i know that for sure lol

Istanbull4730d ago

It's definitely fake. He keeps advertising his shitty channel throughout the video. He doesn't show

1) a sign in process.

2) PSN is open for "select users" yet 3 friends are online.

3) Look on the top right "Download the full game today!" Bearing in mind PS Store is offline, it doesn't even say what game to download.

4) He is NOT PS+ member. He has a PS Plus but he isn't one! (check his YGC trophy card)

5) He doesn't even move the XMB. Video looks recorded on PC, and edited.

@Istanbull, nice copy and paste comment. you should refrain from using other peoples comments from youtube whilst implying that it was your comment.

Add speech marks.

NiKK_4194730d ago

Maybe he has a YouTube account and posted the same comment on there? I know I have one and i post the same comment on both sometimes

movements4730d ago (Edited 4730d ago )

Why are three of his friends chosen for the test? That's not random....Something seems fishy.

Edit: Anyway, I hope this is real. I'm overdue some KZ3 Helghast action.

movements4730d ago

And why doesn't he move the options and show us some stuff....I dunno.

BlueTemplar4730d ago

Not saying its legit but there wouldnt be much point in getting gamers to test network features in isolation - in that kind of scenario they would most likely get everybody involved to add each other as friends to test game invites, chat functions, etc

Oschino19074730d ago (Edited 4730d ago )

I want it to be real so well yeah its real! lol but really though if he has done this before for vids i see nothing fishy alothough at first i did think it was strange, I just hope it is real.

For everyone asking what are the chances 3 of his friends are also online, well if he has connections and was asked to test the service you would think perhaps some of those people also have PSN accounts and would also be testing, DERP! and another theory as to why he may not be moving around or going into anything may be the simply just asked him to log on and nothing else, he may not even be able to access any other services other then just being on.

Sevir044730d ago (Edited 4730d ago )

I doubt it. it looks pretty legit to me!

Headquarters114730d ago

translate.google should be forbidden from making any submissions on N4G

BloodyNapkin4730d ago

Why is it he is on the Home Icon, but the Playstation Home background isnt showing up? I call Fake....

Oschino19074730d ago

Only thing that really bothers me

gunbarrel21424730d ago

what if those are the other select gamers

xX-StolenSoul-Xx4730d ago (Edited 4730d ago )

Ok im not saying it's real or fake but this has alot of problems. One i keep seeing is that PS HOME background should be showing. Well that background only shows if you have PS HOME installed, I dont have it installed so the background does not show. It may b the same for him

mastiffchild4730d ago

Same as that Stolen. I don't have room for it on one of our old 60gigs that I never changed the HDD on and this would happen on that console too-exactly the same.

I, also, have no claims to this being real but I DO imagine there's SOME testing being done and if so someone, somewhere would leak it wouldn't they? That's the only thing-dunno how real or fake this one actually is but the scenario MUST be happening somewhere if PSN is seriously close to coming back.

MainEv3nt 694730d ago (Edited 4730d ago )

he is hovering over the home icon without that image showing up of what home is so it might be fake

Emilio_Estevez4730d ago

Or home isn't back. They said it would come back at a later date.

Damiann4730d ago

Looks pretty real, his other video's are also about PSN and maybe he does have connections with SONY.

leogets4730d ago

hope your right brother. we are due to go back up surely lol

xPhearR3dx4730d ago

Going to call fake for a couple reasons. He didn't do ANYTHING the entire video but hover over an icon. He could have easily took the scrolling marquee from one of his previous videos and simply edited it into the video. This would be a very easy job considering his background is completely pitch black. Also the Playstation Home image should have loading after sitting on the icon for 2 minutes straight.

Eh that's just my thoughts.

Damiann4730d ago

In his previous video's, he isn't doing anything as well in the menu.

WitWolfy4730d ago

Wong he is doing something... LYING through his teeth. God what shit people will do when PSN offline

stuna14730d ago

It's fake! Look at the ticker bar next to the time, it's looping. Also the time is moving at an accelerated rate.

Oschino19074730d ago

Not sayin it is real but EPIC FAIL on your part, at :42 it goes to 2:50 and at 1:42 it goes to 2:51!!! also it may be on a loop since the whole system was rebooted and wouldnt have anything new scrolling yet except a basic message. Stop and think before you embarass your self...

Orionsangel4730d ago

The Service is coming back online slowly, not all at once. So it would make sense that some normal features would not be up and running yet.

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 Souls5061d ago

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

Godmars2905061d ago (Edited 5061d 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.

ClownBelt5061d 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-Pyro5061d 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.

Anon73495061d 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.

RedDevils5060d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5061d ago

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