It's only certain games causing concern, because they either didn't clearly say they use GameSparks so were missed or the devs of confirmed titles are being awkward about confirming if their game will be affected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah i see. I couldn't find any info on when Gamesparks started, but looking on their forums it looks like it was 2013. So i don't think any PS3 games will be affected. If the game uses Gamesparks will it show up when a game starts? Or is there even a way to tell they use their servers?

GameSparks is only used by a small number of PS4 games (I don't know about the Vita) but those that do use it, will have a logo somewhere in the credits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the recent discovery of onrush to be running on the gamesparks engine. Yes, there is certainly way more games running on GameSparks servers that will go down without warning on September 30th. I tried to find some way to know about it, but there's no official list aside from those few games on their website and it's incomplete. This is another GameSpy situation, for some of the unidentified games we'll probably just have to hope someone makes a GoneSparks one day haha There's a very worrying list of partners companies on their website footer: (it cycles, there's way more than show on the picture) https://imgur.com/a/HgWAqLA There's also this section: https://imgur.com/a/x0bQAJV Edited September 22, 2022 by EdinhoN 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) If TTG on the list, then does that mean the Season Pass discs could be rendered useless ? Bandai Namco, Ubisoft and SE being on the list is really bad news, because all 3 own a lot of games with online modes. Edited September 22, 2022 by HuntingFever Update.

Lance_87 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I wonder why this is not in the gaming news outlets. I've tried searching for "gamesparks" on Google and all results are in JAPANESE. WTF? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandai Namco, Ubisoft and SE being on the list is really bad news, because all 3 own a lot of games with online modes. 7 Days to Die was co-published by TTG most likely why they include their name. A similar thing for BandCo which may have co-published in specific regions on mobile titles more likely in Europe or Japan where they have more of a presence. But anyways I don't particularly see TTG games being at risk. The trophies should still pop most likely if they used backend servers for anything it would be for progress transfer and the stat comparisons to other players. Edit: I guess if anything the thing to check on the whole if it is run by Gamespark is too check with devs themselves. For example if X dev's one game is already under this, more then likely they will have other games released during a specific period of time on it as well.

Honestly I feel for the devs in this. Alot of them were using Gamesparks to help cut the already high costs on Indie development. Like Sony, Steam and Microsoft if they want to support game devs they need to start hosting their own servers for them. I mean most stores usually take upto 30% cut anyways. Put some of that money back into the servers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically it should work with any of the games. I believe the only reason it doesn't, is it may be missing the particular security authenticator the other games used to connect that network.

You can do everything by yourself. Much easier with certain challenges to play with a boosting partner. Possible to finish in 15 hours or so. 3 days is doable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
