Sony is a generation behind MS in terms of online services.

Why is it allowed with any old website, game, system?

We should just keep everything up and running for the autismos so they don’t talk bad about us on the blackhole of the internet

>mfw PC communities live forever
>you can find people online playing 25 year old games


console cux will never EVER know this feel

>blackhole
Newfag

>newfag tried to hide the fact that he’s a newfag by claiming Sup Forums isn’t a shithole but a community

kys

>DURR ONLINE IS SUPERIOR >ONLY PLAYING SINGLE PLAYER
>THIS GAME IS THE BEST YOU JUST SUCK
>HAHAHA THAT GAME IS LIKE A MONTH OLD NOW WHY ARE YOU STILL PLAYING IT QUIT COMPLAINING IT'S GETTING PULLED BECAUSE WE ARE ALL PLAYING A NEW GAME GET WITH THE TIME GRAMPS
You are a plague.

is umaru season 2 worth watching

yes, a lot of cute love fests and umaru isnt so selfish in this season.

feels good

This is always the thing about PC communities. Generally their communities have much smaller playerbases but last MUCH longer and don't get shut down because of dedicated server support. Hell I still play The Specialists a fucking 15 year old Half Life 1 mod and can usually find people to play with. Meanwhile on consoles you get games like Gravity Rush 2 getting it's online component shutdown after a little over a year after launch.

12 years.
They originally only planned for 10.
Be glad they're not other companies and forget about old consoles microseconds after announcing a new one.

Some Dreamcast games can still be played online TODAY. A freakin 18 years old console.

I was considering buying a ps3 finally, guess I'll wait for an emulator with netplay instead

>Season 2 came out
Well shit not sure how I missed that.

Valve always gets a pass, right?

Just remember all the those console games you buy digitally will be gone in ten years.

kek so you can't download games / updates anymore?

>no source on this
OP is full of shit

I googled it and this thread is the only thing that came up lmao

PSN was a mistake.

otakustream.tv/anime/himouto-umaru-chan-r/episode-1/

My dad works at Nintendo he says Zelda is being turned into a fighting game.

>Paying for games digitally in the first place
Why? Just pirate if they don't have a physical release that isn't tied to some online marketplace like Steam.

>Valve always gets a pass, right?
What does his post have to do with Valve? There are plenty of games pre-dating Valve that still have active communities, and Valve get's a pass for what?

Shutting down PS3 PSN will be required to implement name changes on PS4.

>Ps3 Cell architecture
>Emulator
not happening for another decade

>been over 4 years since PS4 release
>thinks Sony should continue running servers for an outdated hunk of shit that only poor losers play

stay bootyblasted

Source?

>DUUUR SERVERS ARE EXPENSIVES PAY UP GOY THAT'LL BE 60$
>OH BTW WE'RE CLOSING SERVERS

Can't pirate modern console games.

He doesn't know

>why is this allowed
>implying they should be legally forced to keep up a network that isn't turning a profit
cry a fucking river

PS3 doesnt have paid online, numbnuts

he does

probly a larp post

Where have you been? PS3 emulation has been progressing pretty quickly. Persona 5 and Demon Souls are both playable.

The only reason PSN for PS3 shutting down in a problem is the first place leads back to Valve.
Valve popularized digital distribution and releasing games unfinished/buggy to the point of being unplayable, which is only possible with digital distribution. In an interview Gabe Newell talked about how bad it was that devs used to have to released their games playable without any updates, he even advocated that devs released their games unfinished in that interview and by allowing early access.

A working PS3 emulator already exists.

The only save bet is MS crossplatform console games. Unless MS no longer made Windows because of the nuclear apocalypse.

Fucking LIAR. You have no fucking proof. Stop talking out your ass if you have no source.

The only sources I've found are only select games are going down on March 29th, but that's how it starts, right?

IF PSN does get shut down on PS3, what does that exactly mean? Will I still be able to get trophies on it?

>You now have a valid excuse to softmod your PS3 and pirate games
What's the problem?

>PC doesn't really have this problem

Feels good

This is the only thing I've found regarding any games shutting down in 2018.

The only other game I found to be shutting down in 2018 was Demon Soul servers.

no, sony nigger

Here's the source:
gematsu.com/2017/09/wii-shop-channel-end-service-january-31-2019

>that's how it starts
Most games stop getting support after a couple years anyway.

>No source
>Still gets genuine replies

Fair point.

Or after less than a year in the case of GR2.

>ywn play the best of community levels in LBP1/2 ever again

Will psn digital games on my ps3 disappear? I don't give a fuck about online play or trophies. Just have a ton of great games on my ps3

They will be uploaded back to the server before it shuts down.

Literally a list of "These existed?" games
Right now only big game announced that's being shut down in 2018 is demon's souls

>Needing an Excuse to Pirate

It'll happen eventually but they're still raking in money from people purchasing on the PS3 Psn store, and some games still have functional online with avid albeit shrinking user bases.
I'd say a better assumption would be in 2020 or whenever the PlayStation 5 comes out, and there'd probably be a lot of warning so not to piss their loyal customers off

*homebrews u*

Yes. Keep in mind you're only licensing digital games and your ability to access them is subject to the whims of Sony. You don't own digital games.

>mfw PC communities live forever
>you can find people online playing 25 year old games

And yet you'll be hard pressed to find anyone playing a game more than a few years old. Hell, games like Battleborn, Evolve, and Lawbreakers failed only on PC, on consoles they did fine.

Watch some real anime nerd. Like Lupin III and GITS

Here's the real news:
au.ign.com/articles/2017/11/27/sony-to-shut-down-demons-souls-online-service-in-february-2018

But you can still play PSO on the dreamcast
At least be informed before talking shit

Source on this interview? And it isn't like Valve holding a gun to Sony's head and forcing them to shut down PS3's PSN

Damn, does that mean the Vita won't have access to it either? Thats a lot of PS1 games I'm gonna lose. Thats actually kinda sad really.
Do you have a source?

>watch my casual, entry-level normie anime for adults instead of your casual, normie anime for ironic weebs

Quality thread, OP

Nobody has a source because they're full of shit

playstation.com/en-gb/legal/gameservers/

so make backups.

>and PSP owners
PSP's entire PSN already got shut down a while back, didn't it?

>All I played on LBP was Bomb Survival
>Didn't even Play LBP2 or any of the other games

I feel like I missed something special.

the storefront is dead but the download list still works. you can also download games from your PC with media go.

PSP never really had a PSN. You can still access the store, and most game's online modes are seperate

>wipeout
F

Fuck Sony

Probably because the Omega collection is out now.

>Killzone 2 & 3

LBP2 was the best for arcade remakes when you were like 14.

thats fan modded servers.
take a dose of your own medicine

>Wipeout 2048.
Fuck off, that game never even had a Racebox, removing online removes the whole game.

This is like MAG, Motorstorm and Warhawk going offline

Are Bad Company 2 servers still active? I miss playing on Arica Harbor

Because you were too dumb to build a pc

Moving the goalpost I see
The game will live forever

so every PC game that used gamespy and had to replace it with fan servers doesn't count as alive either?

What are you talking about? PC communities die instantly.

wait, how?

What do you mean how?
People move their asses and make it happen

yeah, but nowhere near as active on pc.bstill fun to play on regardless

>Watch some real anime like my Adult Swim tier garbage

Lmaoing at your life.

meanwhile, on another console
youtube.com/watch?v=f1cuNtKej0c

surely the company responsible for that game would have shut down their servers right?

They actually said that the ps3 would have a life span of 10 years and they've exceed that by 2 now.

>SOCOM: Fireteam Bravo 3
Oh my, that was a debacle. The prior SOCOM games had free online multiplayer, but I think this was the one that if you bought it used you had to buy a separate digital pass to play online. Then, they shutdown those multiplayer servers less than a year after launch. Like, where'd all that online pass money go?

online passes were a dark time, which is now replaced by the darker time of everyone charging for all online multiplayer. thanks jews.

Yes, but that doesn't mean people cant make their own servers to play
Many computer games have the same problem, but can still play on private servers, for example WoW

Some fans figure out how to host their own servers, and tell other players how to reconfigure the game to connect to these private servers.

When I meant WoW I meant the old expansions,

pushsquare.com/news/2017/12/sony_killing_killzone_2_killzone_3_servers_in_march_2018
theres no source for ps3 psn itself but they are shutting down games like killzone 2 and 3 as well as demon's souls next year. they are beginning to kill off ps3 games online.
meanwhile over at xbox, ms is still keeping the servers going for games like halo 3, crackdown 1, gears of war 1 and 2, etc. which are all older. why raise the price of psn if you're just gonna shut down everything including fucking gravity rush 2 which is only a year old?
