RedHotChiliFan1 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Uncharted: Fight for Fortune 29. October 2018 was the last time someone earned Kitty got wet. It's still not 100% clear, if this issue is gonna get fixed, but for now it is unobtainable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordguwa Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) the last earned platinum was the 24th for ps3 on the MLB the show 16. but this isn't recent enough as the shutdown may of happened or will happen soon. only way to test is to try to earn the last trophy in the list for online requirement.

TazDevilz1986 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) The servers are still up for Madden NFL Arcade. https://www.ea.com/service-updates/i-q So it looks like it will shut down on April 29, but they forgot to say ''NFL''. It's a very easy 100% with a booster, i got it done in about 2 hours or so. And i never played any of these games before. But they also delisted the game.

Sony got the license for displaying manifacturers’ cars, but the license has probably expired and it wasn’t renewed, so Sony must stop selling Driveclub and all its DLC. Microsoft has delisted Forza Horizon and its DLC, probably for the same exact reason. Edited April 4, 2019 by Max654 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publishers and companies have reasons to shut down servers as they want to, it’s in their rights. It costs money to maintain servers and it’s obvious that not many people was playing in the game’s servers before the shut down notice. They probably lost more money for servers maintenance than what they gained from sales. Edited April 5, 2019 by Max654 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^ It sucks to high heaven that the DriveClub servers are closing and everything is getting delisted but if the games aren't selling anymore and no-one is playing online, then Sony are effectively flushing money down the drain by keeping the servers up so are well within their rights to turn them off. The Delisting, stings even more so than the server closure but if the licenses have expired then Sony likely has no choice but to remove them unless they want a huge fine in their inbox. I rarely give Sony any kudos and aren't a massive fan of them in general but I'm going to give them some kudos now, for afording us a 1 year heads up about the servers closing and a 5 month heads up on the delisting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Potent_Delusions Posted April 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, fastflowdaman said: It takes denial, ignorance or a fanboy to defend those business practices. I have to agree (without meaning to offend anyone in specific in here such as Max). They charge everyone an extortionate amount per year for PS+, and yet they are shutting down servers at an exponentially faster rate than any other company. People are hanging onto this old mantra of "EA are the worst for closures". Sony are the worst for it by a mile. Take a look at the closures from 2016 onwards and the stats don't lie. A friend of mine linked me an article a few days back of a gaming website questioning whether we should be paying so much for PS+ given how fast Sony servers are closing. I have to agree with it. They make billions from PS+ and yet they are shutting down games that aren't even a year old. They even tried pulling a fast one in October by shutting 3 games with a 30 days warning instead of the 90 days warning they promise. You can't tell me they are THAT strapped for cash that they need to pull that stunt. They're a very greedy company. Also, I can confirm that the servers for Drawn to Death JP have been erased and have drawn to a close.

DaikichiKawachi Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Also, as Colin Moriarty pointed out in this weeks Sacred Symbols podcast, you can still play the original Gears of War for Xbox 360 online. Clearly it can't be that much of an expense if Microsoft are willing to keep servers up for games that old. Delisting the game for licensing issues is annoying, but understandable. I've learned that and now any licensed game I have an interest in, I buy the first time I see on sale but delisting a first party game for server expenses is not. We are paying for a service, that they keep devaluing and I think it is a reasonable expectation that we should be able to play any current generation first party game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, even the PS3 is full of very old third-party games with various degrees of still-functional online capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
