PSN Return: The IGN Response

IGN - If you just woke up, big news: the PlayStation Network is back (or will be soon depending on where you live). It's not everything -- you can play online, sync Trophies and message friends, but the PlayStation Store isn't working -- but it's better than the nothing we've had for nearly four weeks. The hackers attacked, Sony shut down the network, and we've been in the dark.

Sony's stock just went WAY up. Millions of people across the world have been waiting for this day. Everyone will be on this service this weekend! Gamers will so value and appreciate Sony's effort to get it back up. It's truly a great day to be a gamer.

Yeeeees!!!! Today is the Bicentenary of my Country.

200 years of Paraguay, and the PSN is comming today! wooho!!

BISHOP-BRASIL4728d ago

More like tomorrow (well today, since it's past midnight) around here (I'm in Brazil).

I don't think South America is top priority and the servers have to be put back up progressively so it will take some time... But just to know it will finally be back up and running again is great!

DERKADER4728d ago

Hurray the south east U.S. is up and running.

GO PARAGUAY! I lived in Grupo Habitacional in the outskirts of Asuncion! Happy Bicentennial!

TheLastGuardian4728d ago

I don't get it. Why did this article heat up so fast?

PSN is back up. Who gives a f**k what IGN has to say? It's time to play some games!

NukaCola4728d ago (Edited 4728d ago )

Why is an IGN have the Anonymous image on it instead of a IGN logo or PSN/PS3 Logo?

And IGN has put out more skeptical and negative PSN articles since it's been down than any blog or main stream site combined. Screw off IGN, I am syncing up trophies from all my awesome SP PS3 exclusives right now and then I am getting on some KZ3 and Portal 2!

and thus the world was saved

ScentlessApprentice74728d ago (Edited 4728d ago )

Even though it has been nearly four weeks for the PSN's downturn, I don't judge nor hate on Sony for it.

For one, because it was a result of some stupid, f*ggot external hackers akin to or actually Anonymous who are so God Damn short-sighted that they do not realize that what they do to Sony's public servers affect the same damn people who share the same common interests as they do.

For another, I do not quite base my entire livelihood on playing online, so even though going without Killzone 3 Online for the past 4 weeks has been a frustration, it hasn't quite lead me to ditch the Playstation 3 for any other console. After all, the new Twisted Metal, Uncharted 3, Dark Souls, and Infamous 2 are enough to compensate for any of the PSN service shortfalls.

showtimefolks4728d ago (Edited 4728d ago )

ign has done to get hits its still nice to just get psn back. I like what kaz said we are safer than before but again syber attacks you can never be 100% safe

hopefully both ms and sony will learn from this and from here on till the end of this gen and on to next gen we get much better and much more secure networks.

and nintendo which will be doing its first actual online with new console please also take notes

kz3 here i come

so many people have been waiting to play mortal kombat,portal 2 and brink online best of luck to everyone

peace out good night

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 Souls5068d ago

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

Godmars2905068d ago (Edited 5068d 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.

ClownBelt5068d 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-Pyro5068d 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.

Anon73495068d 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.

RedDevils5068d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5068d ago

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