POEman553 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I know "Run Like The Wind" cannot be obtained legitimately (NOTE: this isn't to start an endless argument about that, just pointing it out) but the rest of the online trophies should be obtainable between now and December 16, https://support.rockstargames.com/articles/1500012375661/End-of-online-services-for-PlayStation-3-and-Xbox-360-versions-of-GTAV-Max-Payne-3-and-L-A-Noire-FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunman47 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I just received the email from Rockstar regarding the GTA Online closure on PS3. Is there enough time to clear most of the online trophies including heists during this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be working on Max Payne 3 first (I don't have as much to finish for the online trophies) then GTA V PS3 after that (all but one will be obtainable for me with GTA V).

Marco Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I expected this would happen sooner or later with the updates being discontinued for several years, the state of some lobbies last time I played, and the Expanded and Enhanced version of the game releasing for PS5 and Xbox Series X later in the year. I have to say though I'm surprised they're getting rid of this before GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption's Multiplayer. I don't have all of the online trophies, including some in the base set required for the platinum, and had been thinking about going back to it at some point so I guess this gives me a reason to do that. I guess that's what I'll be doing over the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for asking because I don't have GTA IV on PS3 and haven't touched RDR 1 for a long time. That would be kind of surprising if they closed GTA V first before the other two on PS3. Not sure if it could be linked to the launch of GTA V on PS5 though. Edited June 16, 2021 by gunman47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sepheroithisgod Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 It's crazy that GTA4 and RDR are not being closed down as well (not that I want it to happen). I'm guessing those are next year. regardless, Goodluck to everyone trying to get these and MP3 trophies before the closure. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I checked it out already and it did not mention it, so I was pretty sure not. I only asked to double check since I thought it was kind of confusing the newer game of the two would be affected and the earlier one not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it still works. I have a copy of the older version on my external HDD and it still works as it has no Steam DRM (still needs GFWL key to be activated tho). Also I recommend anyone that has finished MP3's online mode but not the SP to finish Challenge Mode. Looks like it needs to be connected to the servers to work (correct me if I'm wrong) Btw, is there any online-related trophies for LA Noire? Like some that require leaderboards or anything.

TheAbyssWalker61 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Why GTA IV and RDR are not getting closed being older than GTA V? There it's many people in my country playing GTA V on PS3, i guess they want people to buy new versions to still selling the same game and still being in top 10 selling games of the week in every country since 2013 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcanehornet_ Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The plat has been unobtainable for years now anyways, so it’s not like we’re missing out on much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djb5f Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Did the base game online a long time ago. The question is if I go back and clean up the remaining heists I never got to. Probably doubtful but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you have to boost all, but specially for level 100 you Just have to replay the fleeca heist on hard and you Will gain like 8k Rp in 15 min on less, depending on how much faster Will be the driller on the finale. Also be sure to do the Daily objectives every day, if you Do them all the days for 28 days, the last day you Will be reward with 50k rp Edited June 16, 2021 by patrizio1811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a new version of GTAIV and RDR1 to switch people over to, so no reason to shut them down yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Payne 3 doesn't have a new version, it's also shutting down so that reasoning is flawed... I think that GTA IV and RDR1 are simply much cheaper for them to run, or there's a small chance they might plan to shut them but just haven't announced it yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1rvine Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) I'm surprised it lasted this long. The PS5 is out, I can't imagine many PS3 servers are still used other than pockets of hardcore players here and there.

Popular Post Afro_Gear Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Read Dead Redemption and GTA IV were both being hosted by Gamespy Servers back in the day. When it shut down Rockstar switched them over to P2P, so as long as PSN exists, those multiplayers will stay online. EDIT: Ok, so I did some research and I cannot find where it says that these were switched to P2P. Here is an article referencing the shutdown of affected games: https://support.rockstargames.com/articles/203102767/Effect-of-GameSpy-Closure-on-Past-Rockstar-Titles. Other than that it may have been an assumption on my behalf or someone I've talked to over the years as I cannot find a source. However, I find it very likely that is what they did as otherwise it would make sense to shut down those older titles first, unless R* doesn't have to pay for server hosting as it is P2P. Either way, no guarantees so finish those if you still need them. @Stevieboy Edited June 16, 2021 by Afro_Gear 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postofficebuddy Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I’m not sure if I even want to attempt GTA5. I’m paranoid about hackers and suspicion on my account. I’m not about to risk my 12 year old account for 1 game who’s plat isn’t even obtainable anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
