Sony, PSN Needs To Come Back Hard, Better Than Ever

GameThirst - It’s happened, damn it. PSN’s been hacked, and the gaming world is in a meltdown. Things will never be the same – trust has been totally lost and lawsuits are already flinging from all corners. PSN. It houses all our sensitive information, but no longer is the network the only home to that information. It’s now in the hands of one or more persons getting ready to go on a nasty fraud rampage that might result in the destruction of livelihoods all over the world.

PSN will be back. Better than ever that's for sure!

MagicAccent4737d ago

Even if this never happens again, it will still have happened one time too many.

ionlyneedonebubble4737d ago

I think we as gamers are only entitled to maybe a cross game chat update. And it doesnt even have to be right away as soon as the PSN is back up. It could be a month down the road and that would be fine. Sony keep doing a good job with the new security features and hurry up with PSN!!! Still love your console!

Christopher4737d ago

Agreed. Because of the security issue, Sony should work against the patent issues and technology issues they have to get us cross game chat ASAP to make us feel better about their service. Nothing says we're all better and more secure now like a feature that would only be used by a fraction of the user base. /s

Bell Boy4737d ago (Edited 4737d ago )

get a grip!

about 3-4 weeks ago a mass email an almost identical to the Sony warning they were hacked went out on behalf of numerous companies.

These included Best Buy, Walgreens and a host of others I forgot....guess what the company that manages their online data was hacked and personal details potentially obtained.

I don't recall this mass hysteria or witch hunt in that case, although I suspect accounts were more likey to have cc details attached, and I don't recall anyone wanting free electronics from Best Buy or freebies from Walgreens as compensation.

We can't play online big WOW, play and enjoy a sp game. Myself I am loving Res 5 a game I thought I would hate since I played the demo but love since playing with Move

Bell Boy4737d ago

yes stupid but speaking the truth in amongst this hyperbole hysteria that is rampant on n4g right now

Sinkway4737d ago

Well you'd hope it should be better than ever because PSN just cost them MILLIONS!! haha Swish!
Damn i feel sorry for you PS3 people, it really sucks what has happend.

blackburn54737d ago

I am glad your happy with people's misery. It must be fun to be a jerky jack@$$.@ Godmars290. Nothing is guaranteed but they will take more precautions this time a round.What concerns me is with all this breach of trust and hacking, Sony will probably keep the PS4 and NGP under lock and key to prevent this from happening again meaning stricter rules and protocols. You give people an inch and they take a yard.

Sinkway4737d ago

No its a stupid artical man. Of course they'll come back better, i mean they have to right? and dude, when i said i felt sorry for the PS3 people i meant it.

Godmars2904737d ago

Sort of off topic, but does anyone remember that the hacker issue, after Geohot and otherOS, happened because a group of hackers posed as a legitimate developer? That they got their hands on a dev kit as well as the security keys? And yet every time I hear about it, its like the hackers did everything from scratch and Sony's incompetent.

If such was the case then what's really preventing it from happening again?

ClimateKaren4737d ago

Nothing is to stop it from happening again anywhere, and it has nothing to do with incompetence. When the right hacker(s) wants to get in bad enough, he will. All one can do is make it tougher and tougher. When that new system gets broken, then even tougher measures will be developed. This is the nature of internet security. It's in a perpetual state of hackers poking holes and people rushing to patch the holes up.

Loved this article, Lets hope Sony see's this and decides to do all these things. I want a new XMB damn it! I'm sick of the old PSP XMB >:(

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 Souls5060d ago

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

Godmars2905060d ago (Edited 5060d 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.

ClownBelt5060d 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-Pyro5060d 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.

Anon73495060d 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

ThanatosDMC5060d ago

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