PSN Goes Down For Maintenance

It seems as if the overload of gamers that are trying all at once to connect to, and download content on the PlayStation Store has been too much for PSN.

Some gamers are already reporting “down for maintenance” notices when they try to login to the network, and our very own Joshua Tompkins is having problems. Don’t worry, however, as we believe this is only temporary and Sony’s sorting the issues as we speak.

However you’d think they’d prepare for this.

Stay tuned for more.

It's because of the overload of people vying to access and download content off the PlayStation Store.. But Sony failed there... They should have prepared for this.

I would say don't sign out...

Vherostar4705d ago

Sony have said on the blog they are increasing the server size to deal with this anyway that might be why its gone down a short while to get new servers online.

Come on guys we knew this would happen with lots of traffic.

Christopher4705d ago

Likely a problem with one or more specific regions of high population. Higher population areas likely have a much higher load at this time and so their regional servers aren't able to handle the load. Other regions more than likely aren't having any issues at all.

I'm still at work but I hope this id fixed when I get home, I really want to download Infamous 2 damnit!

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

Fieyy6h ago

First the Helldivers launch and then this

Sony still can’t run online services/games.

-Foxtrot6h ago

Do you not get tired creating duplicate accounts...

It's super sad at this point

Knightofelemia3h ago

Last time I remember Helldivers is doing great with players both PC and Playstation.

Fieyy3h ago

And how was it at launch? A disaster for weeks.

arkard2h ago

How was that Sonys fault?

Fieyy1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Is Sony not the publisher?

jjb19812h ago(Edited 2h ago)

It's crazy that you keep making accounts just to be a troll. You went through the trouble of making it just to try to stir the fanboy pot. 🤡 activities.

Fieyy1h ago

Still got your attention though huh ;)

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Inverno37m ago

It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.

Tacoboto1h ago

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC7h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer9h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6028h ago(Edited 8h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya6h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde6h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
