I appreciate the confirmation, I guess all we can do now is wait and see. Actually Warriors of Rock is still up, as are GH3 and GH:Aeromsith's servers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APCGrayLocked Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 good thing that War for Cybertron is still platable, but it also makes me sad, because Fall of Cybertron on ps4 is not available anymore (sharing excluded). And no, i will not ever play FoC on ps3. The graphics are just too awful compared to the ps4 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Slime King Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I thought War for Cybertron had a server error where it wouldn't save your stats so you'd have go to level 100 without turning off your console or something like that? Maybe that was just for new accounts, but I certainly remember hearing there were issues with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a problem until a week or 2 back but it was fixed so the Platinum is obtainable . 36 minutes ago, SnowxSakura said: Didn't both starhawk and Ghostbusters get shut down without any warning? Starhawk's server closure was announced by Sony, several weeks in advance but Ghostbusters was shutdown with zero advanced warning and we only found out about it, approx 2 weeks after it happened when either Atari or one of the devs announced it on Facebook .

Shadow_Kisuragi Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Just as a heads-up, if many people did not know this, a lot of PS3 titles just run directly off PS3s themselves as servers as companies found that to be a cheaper solution. Hardware failure could account for the unannounced shutdowns, or it could be that someone unplugged it and packed it up...or Activision is just lazy. But, I just wanted to mention that PS3 shutdowns out of the blue shouldn't be that surprising at this point since many are running on old hardware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are talking about is p2p, but even p2p needs a matchmaking server. In other news, I finally got in touch with Activision support regarding the whole Guitar Hero debacle!

HuntingFever Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) The NBA 2K19 Platinum is now unobtainable, because the devs are no longer doing neighbourhood trivia so you can't get the "You Do Know Jack" trophy .

Do you have electricity in your place?". Standard BS "solutions", 98% of those "customer supports" are usually useless! And the next question will be "Are you sure your l/p for your account are correct?". Edited February 18, 2020 by Smashero 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more annoying than that, is when you tell them you've already done all the standard things like rebooting the console and router but they insist you do them again when you've just told them they didn't work. I've lost count of the number of times I've contacted support, only for the whole thing to go round and round in circles until one side or the other gives up and drops the problem like a hot brick. I spent a month trying to get Bethesda to take a technical problem seriously that I was having with Doom (2016), only for them to pass the buck on to Sony who just went through the exact same brain dead spiel I'd just spent a month going through with Bethesda so I gave up and uninstalled the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the same that happened to me with the Playstation Store website and the bundles in the download queue, they started blaming my console and then my ISP. I bet that they gave them the name of another ISP that's not mine, they would've blamed that other ISP. I know them very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potent_Delusions Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 What's funny about these cookie cutter support responses is that each publisher seems to have established their own unique set of them too, all equally useless but unique nonetheless. Ubisoft will tell you it's all Sony's fault, EA will tell you to "clear your system cache", and Activision will try and insist it's a problem with your internet. These support lines are absolutely pathetic, seriously. I'm pretty sure no trophy fixes ever came from contacting them, but rather only when talking to an actual developer on a forum or website. I remember when I was pursuing a fix for "Catch the bad moment" over the phone on BFBC1, I got told to "clear my cache" by every single support agent to the point that I started my phone calls off with "for this upcoming issue, i've cleared the cache and it didn't work". It was only when I got put through to DICE that I actually had a sensible conversation and it got fixed 1 week later. 8 minutes ago, Sinthoras_96 said: Could you also mention the 4 007 games, if you talk with them? Would really appreciate it ^This, including Quantum of Solace please. I'll be surprised if they get fixed though since they can just give you the line of "they're on the unsupported games list" without even trying so much as resetting the servers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
