I guess the servers are being hammered.I'm getting an error:(

NeverEnding19894397d ago

Ugh really annoying, first I was just getting the error code, now I can't even sign in

I guess you get what you pay for

guitarded774397d ago

Naughty Dog posted to Facebook saying "Once the PS Store goes online The Last of Us demo will be available for owners of God of War Ascension. Demo The Last of Us today!", so maybe the store was temporarily down.

blitz06234397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

PSN detected you're a troll. That's why you can't even sign in.

I guess you have to #dealwithit

LackTrue4K4397d ago

@neverending

You can't long in, cuz you have no PSN account, or a Playstation, or good/healthy gaming habits...."just Admit it, your in here to toll!!"

abzdine4397d ago

I don't care just give me the full game. This is a serious GOTY contender I don't need to try the demo out to see if it's any good. I hate demos of great games like this one,once finished I just ask for more.
2 weeks to go is all I have to say

insomnium24397d ago

Too much awesome at once so it's no wonder we get errors.

Information Minister4397d ago

If Microsoft goes through with their online DRM plans, this is the kind of stuff we will have to deal with every single major release.

I want to see if you will keep saying "you get what you pay for" by then.

kreate4397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

I signed in and out all day didn't have a problem.

Jokes getting old.

Dee_914397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

Yea the store was down for about a hour, and that hour just so happened to be when Last of Us Demo went live (0_0)
At the time I was pissed because Sony shouldve prepared better , but then again it was only a hour so im not complaining.

I signed in and out continuously to check and see if it was my internet and within that hour I signed in and out approx. 15 times.Someone ban that troll.

SAME HERE!!!!!! YEAAA!!!

Wow, 132mb is pretty small. lol

kneon4397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

132mb is just the first part, there is a second download or install that took me about 5 minute. The installed size is 2.2GB.

It's worth it though, while it was short the demo was really good at giving you a feel for the game. The combat is definitely not uncharted

VanguardOfCalamity4397d ago

anyone else use the board scissors combo :D

CYCLEGAMER4397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

See...this is why I pay for xbox live. I thought paying for ps+ would help the situation but clearly it doesn't. I never have to wait so long for the things that I want on xblive. I hope this will be a none issue on the ps4.

I find it funny that no one can explain to me why they disagree... fanboyism at its best...lol

You fan boys can disagree all you want but for those of us who have both systems, you know this is true. AGAIN...Sony needs to figure this out.

@gamehard, and how would you know that?? You don't know me and u probably do not own a 360.

Gamehard4397d ago

You never have to wait as long on xbl for something you want because it never has anything you want.

ZodTheRipper4397d ago

What do you want an explanation for? It worked liked a charme for me that's why you got a disagree.

Veneno4397d ago

Hey guys, be nice to MELMANAn, it's been a long time since certain fanboys could even pick deep deep deep down for any kind of positive news for their master. Stockholm syndrome is truly a sad thing to watch.

CYCLEGAMER4397d ago

@zod18
Obviously from the title of this thread it did not work like a charm for majority of us.

Didn't really need an explanation because I know what the answer is,(childish fanboysm). I just find it hilarious that if anyone says anything remotely negative on this siteas it regards to Sony u fanboy slam on the disagree button, and don't even know why.

On topic: it finally worked for me after an hour and a half of trying, and while the demo is short I will be purchasing this day one. Lookin forward to TLOU.

hadouken0074397d ago

stop being a fool, so many people downloading at the same time thats why,i had to keep trying to download like 6 times before it took.

Nes_Daze4396d ago

Funny, I use to pay for Live too, got kicked out of party chats randomly. I have BOTH systems, and I rather pay $50 for one that lets me play online free and gives me free games.

CYCLEGAMER4396d ago (Edited 4396d ago )

@NES
To each his own....I have never been kicked out of a party chat EVER, but this is not my point, when comparing the two, downloads take forever/much longer on the ps3, can you deny that?

It finally started downloading for me, what I did was go to the download list if you where lucky enough to click download from the GOW screen it will be in your download list. go through the Manage Account settings ,and just keep trying to get into the download list and keep trying to download it, I got so many errors until it finally worked.

I don't have the option to access the demo! It says that in the menu screen should press SQUARE, but I don't have it! I checked a friend's copy and it says right there Last of Us Demos right below the triangle option!

How else can i access it?!

yeahokchief4396d ago (Edited 4396d ago )

Worked just fine for me.

The demo was super short, but good. Controls take a little bit to get used to but felt good.

The game was pretty much Resident Evil meets Red Dead REdemption. The camera style very much reminded me of Dead SPace 2 only with better graphics. Other than that it had a sweet crafting system providing you with a reason to scavenge for items and combat was strategic in terms of dealing with enemies to conserve your stuff.

I liked it. It didn't blow me away, but it's what I wanted. It's survival horror with more emphasis on survival.

Ready to pick up my preorder in 2 weeks on friday.

Nitrowolf24397d ago (Edited 4397d ago )

seems like a bunch of people must be trying to download it, I can't even access my account settings anymore after I tried to download it

Edit: They are doing maintenance? Really?!! That kind of ticks me off TBH, here I also thought they delayed it because it had MP to it, turns out it's the same demo the presses got, which makes me wonder why the delay, especially since they are doing this on the day it launches.

LeRise4397d ago

Another reason not to enforce always-online DRM.
This is perfect example of how bad it may be, right along with SimCity 2013.

kneon4397d ago

I don't think it was maintenance, just excessive demand.

CZUM4397d ago

An Error has occured (80023017) over and over again :/

TrendyGamers4397d ago

Yeah :( hopefully this gets fixed soon.

garos824397d ago

im in the eu tried it 20 minutes ago and it worked fine the first time i tried it

my personal review of this short demo: HOLY SH*T
ive never played a game as intense and atmospheric as this
check out the infecteds faces as you strangle them and they gasp for air!

day 1 for me for sure

As expected. Unless it's going to Xbox or Switch 2, we can stop hearing about these older games now? We can move on to just news about new games?

darthv7265d ago

....until the PS6 remake followed by the PS7 reboot

Christopher65d ago

Man, first year of PS6 is going to be 90% remasters. I'm going to hate it and likely hold off until new games actually get released that I can't play on my PS5.

Cacabunga65d ago

Yes I’m waiting for complete remaster…. On ps5

OtterX65d ago

...20 years later, "you haven't heard the last of us yet!" *releases The Last of Us Retro Collection*

cloganart65d ago

@Christopher

Oof, yeah. I don't think I'm picking up the PS6 until "Pro" comes out 😂

Cacabunga65d ago

I haven’t played Tlou1 since PS3 and i have the greatest memory of it

Notellin64d ago

I'm already dreading all the cross generation games and remasters we'll see with the next round of consoles.

LonDonE64d ago

lmao this is getting ridiculous but thing is if people keep buying them.. then why would they stop making them?
Peeps STOP BUYING this game.. that actually hurts me to say this as the last of us is high up on my greatest games of all times.. its one of the few games i played through start to finish 3/4 times back to back as i loved it so much. But sony need to stop, give us a Resistance 3 remaster, i would love and buy that.. such an underated series as was killzone.
Or give us infamous.. so many great series and titles i would gladly buy but they just want to keep giving us last of us.

I am done buying that game.. i would only buy part 2 remaster if they remade it and kept joel alive, or i am not interested. Hate last of us 2s story killing off joel.. the actual game is stunning and incredible, they improved so much in the gameplay department but i hate the story with a passion.

We can stop hearing about it when they stop re-releasing them I guess.

I reckon the ps6 version will be 8k 240 and I'll still not care.

I miss new games from nd

Inverno65d ago

And HBO just announced season 3 even tho LoU2 couldn't possibly be so long that it wouldn't be able to fit in 1 season. They're just milking it at this point.

darthv7265d ago

speaking of the HBO series... I felt they should have made part 1 across two seasons, then address part 2 in seasons 3 and 4. so now i have a feeling they rushed through part 1 in season 1 to make season 2 a cliff hanger with Joel's impending demise being the starting point to Season 3.

-Foxtrot65d ago

I love how they decided to rush, chop and change things for Season 1 to get through the game yet for TLOU Part II it’s like “we’re going to do multiple seasons and take our time”

Inverno65d ago

Okay after seeing that there's only 7 episodes I take it back. Though I think it's incredibly stupid not to have just made the season longer. Another season just to finish what could've just been a 13 episode season seems counterintuitive but aiight. I put that on HBO tho.

Neonridr65d ago

This will be the 4th time Sony sells us The Last of Us Part 1.. And the 2nd time on the PS5.

Knushwood Butt65d ago

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

NotoriousWhiz64d ago

Strange, I thought the record went to Street Fighter 2.

FPS_D3TH65d ago

We are approaching Skyrim levels here

Profchaos65d ago

At this point we are at Skyrim in terms of frequency. Skyrim was one per generation. If you exclude VR Skyrim we've now exceeded it

Tlou 1 PS3, 1 PS4 2 ps5
Skyrim 1 ps360 2 PS4/x1/vr 1 ps5/sx

Tlou 4
Skyrim 4

Christopher65d ago

Not quite. Skyrim had:

PS3/360/PC
PS4/X1
VR
Switch
Skyrim Special Edition PC/PS4/X1
Skyrim Special Edition PS5/XSX

VersusDMC65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Also add skyrim bundles like the one below and all the humble bundles since that's what everyone is doing here

https://www.xbox.com/en-CA/...

darthv7265d ago

@Chris, LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base. At least Skyrim was able to sell to a wider audience via different platforms.

Christopher65d ago

@darthv72: I don't know why you're telling me that. I only corrected on number of Skyrim re-releases/ports/etc. I didn't say anything else.

Profchaos65d ago

@christopher guess I forgot just how much was out I think the special editions are technically one release despite being cross platform though would the Alexa version count

Christopher65d ago

@Profchaos: I guess, but I'd consider it a separate release since it rolled them into one at a later date but definitely there is a PS5/XSX version with PS5/XSX supported updates specific to them.

Chevalier64d ago

"LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base"

Weird. Like 35% of PS5 owners are NEW to Playstation. Plus this is really for new fans from the TV series for season 2 of TLOU.

I recall the same idiotic comments when the 1st one was remade just before TLOU TV Series came out and it went on the be one of the best selling games that year.

So maybe get your FACTS straight. Unlike Skyrim getting literally releases in 3 generations and 10 releases.

I gotta figure RE4 is up there too

FPS_D3TH64d ago

No. Those are remakes. Not remasters

Neonridr64d ago

@FPS - we've had quite a few RE4 remasters, only 1 remake.

CrimsonWing6963d ago (Edited 63d ago )

@FPS_D3TH

It blows my mind how people do some mental gymnastics to try to cope with a game they like doing the same thing (technically more) they’re complaining about for another game.

RE4 - PS2, GC
RE4 w Motion Controls - Wii
Literally RE4 HD Remaster - Xbox 360, PS3
I’m assuming a port of RE HD - PS4, Xbox One
RE4 Remake - PS5, Xsex

1 Remake and the bunch are Remasters… how, I mean how—Y’know what, it doesn’t matter anymore…

P_Bomb65d ago

Store says I already own it. I guess it’s just a straight twin-pack. Looks like they added 4 maps to ‘No Return’.

VersusDMC65d ago

You don't need to buy this to get the maps, marlene and bill. It all got patched in to the game on the 3rd.

P_Bomb65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Good to know. I’ve watched runs of ‘No Return’ but have yet to try it myself. Soon, soon 😉

Knushwood Butt65d ago

Yeah, No Return got a content update.
Three new trophies too.

A mysterious physical edition of a Naughty Dog game is in the works

They're really milking this franchise lol

You must comment on every Mario, Zelda, and Skyrim article too.

darthv7275d ago

....because there has been the same mario, Zelda and Skyrim games for three console generations?

75d ago
isarai74d ago

@darthv72

Literally yes 🤨

Cacabunga74d ago

Every Mario and Zelda is different. This is just the exact same game over and over

anast74d ago

Skyrim, yes. Mario and Zelda since the 80's

Loktai74d ago

@darthv72 Uh yes. Yes it has. They milked BOTW across Wii U and switch and they STILL want 40+ for it new and never discounted it. They made "remasters" of older zelda games as well on switch and in the past onto the other gameboy platforms from the older platforms. They have done the same with Mario. They port the paper mario games and mario RPG to switch. And now I PROMISE you they are going to show "enhancements" for those same games on Switch 2. I PROMISE you thats going to get mentioned, maybe even tomorrow. Last of us Part 1 has been across techncially 3 generations, but 2 has been 2- and JUST BARELY 2 because it released just a few months before the PS5 did - and so if that counts as milking it, what do you call breath of the wild on Wii U then going to switch or Twilight Princess coming uot on gamecube and Wii - OR ZELDA WIND WAKER HD coming out?

"Skyrim games for three console generations?"

Darth showing some idiocy here. Seriously yes Skyrim has been re-released more than any other game period. It's been released on 3 generations - PS3, PS4, PS5, PSVR, PC, PC VR, Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S. That's 10 releases across 3 generations! So Seriously get your DAMN facts straight.

Yui_Suzumiya74d ago

And yet Fallout 3 has never been Remastered. Prison time should be given for that offense, lol

darthv7274d ago

Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much

thorstein74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

@darth GTAV says hi.

Skyrim has an Alexa edition.

Chevalier74d ago

Clearly a guy with business acumen! Why would Sony want to rebundle games and release them in time for the 2nd season of TLOU to release? I mean the last time a bunch of idiots laughed at Sony then guess what? TLOU part 1 for PS5 only hit top 5 sales and kept popping onto charts throughout the year?! Lol

74d ago
Chevalier74d ago

"Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much"

Multiple Mario and Zelda games have made 2 generations. Maybe you guys forget that over a 3rd of the gamers on Playstation have NEVER owned a Playstation system before and some are coming into it as a result of the TV show.

People said the EXACT same crap when the 1st game got released on PS5, but, it ended up being one of the best selling games the year it came out.

Also for all the idiots complaining. Playstation at least offer $10 upgrades for some of these games. Have you EVER seen a re-release by Nintendo, Xbox, Bethesda offer that?! No I didn't think so.

darthv7274d ago

releasing a newer version because the previous version is not physically compatible is not quite the same as taking a perfectly good existing game that already works on the newer platform and repackaging it under a remaster brand for that newer platform and then repackaging it AGAIN for the same platform.

And that whole line of *insert people here may not have had a PS before* is a line of BS. PS2 is the most selling platform in history... chances are very good a high percentage upgrade to the PS3 and then upgraded to the PS4 and are upgrading again for the PS5. So dont give me that line of bologna. you'd rather swallow every bit of Sony propaganda instead of call them out for milking (and yes this is milking) this game. You know there will be a PS6 version and likely a PS7 remaster.

Of course i am purely speculating on the 6 & 7 but there is a high degree of probability because of what they did already between 3, 4 & 5. And you defending even the $10 upgrade when most of the XB games get free upgrades is just another sign of your blind loyalty. I didnt think it possible and gave you benefit of the doubt but now I can see i was totally wrong.

Chevalier73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

@Darth

Again your examples are absolutely terrible. Repackaged games for new audiences isn't new with the high cost of development. This release is timed for people that are new to Playstation coming from watching season 2 of the TV show. If you're surprised and annoyed by this then stop gaming then. It will happen if there's some new Skyrim, Fallout, Doom or whatever TV show comes out too.

Also you're the guy who defends Xbox for this crap too. Skyrim releases were done while owned by Xbox.

Also you mentioned the PS2, repackaged games happened all the time then too. If you think that repackaged games is going to go away with the skyrocketing cost of development is going away then sorry cover your eyes and plug your ears and pretend like an idiot then. You will be complaining daily soon.
