Sony's response to PlayStation Network down time, SOE hack: Is it enough?

CVG - During this seemingly endless spell of PSN down time, the fear of credit card fraud and identity theft feels like it's subsiding and being replaced with a longing for Sony to just hurry up and get the PlayStation Network back online.

It's a tough time for us all but, while it's perhaps unfair to comment on how long it's taking the platform holder to rectify this massive botch without understanding the true extent of the problem and processes, we can make judgement on Sony's response to the fans.

YEEEESSSSS enough already

What they are offering is more than enough to make up for a couple of weeks of not being able to play online

Yeah Sony, just hurry up.

Dont actually use this time as an opportunity to fix the problem while you can, just slap a band aid on it and rush it out the door.

I mean you can always patch it later, drag the problem out for three years or extend the warranty later if you cant.

Yes I am being sarcastic.

mastiffchild5154d ago

Indeed. I find it laughable that a company that's lost over 2billion dollars through this ALREADY(according to who you might read)might be accused of slacking on this issue. If they could have it back up safely I'm sure they would. They didn't, as we didn't, ask for this trouble, they've said they will compensate well above, imo, what they NEEDED to and until we see if they're true to their word or not surely that should be it for now?

What more can they really say or do until it's time for them to be able to say "PSN is coming online today/tomorrow etc"? Do we really think we deserve MORE somehow when Sony are losing as much, more than we are through the selfish acts of a few tosspots? Sure, lets help kick a company when it's down! A company which has done as much for gaming as a hobby and an industry over the last 15years as ANY other and possibly a lot more. Lets really milk this and see if we can get THEM out of gaming because that wouldn't be shooting ourselves in the foot at all would it?

This sarcasm must be catching.

They're giving us a choice of 2 games out of 5.

Regardless of the quality of the games, it's more than enough.

alexgamer15154d ago

Exactly. Choice of 5 as well.. pretty decent. Might have to actually bring the old PSP out too! Aha! :)

MrBeatdown5155d ago

No. Only when I receive free PSN games for life, a puppy, five bags of Skittles, and an invitation to see various Sony executives strung up and pummeled by little children as if they were a pinata will I be able to forgive Sony.

Anything less will be an insult and I will sell my PS3 to GameStop for $17 in store credit.

When I say bags of Skittles, I mean five bags of tiger cubs. The puppy has to eat.

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 Souls5489d ago

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

Godmars2905489d ago (Edited 5489d 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.

ClownBelt5489d 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-Pyro5489d 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.

Anon73495489d 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.

RedDevils5489d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5489d ago

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