Why just the PS3 servers? The MGS 5 PS4 servers will close eventually but I imagine the playerbase is still large enough to justify keeping them up. To be honest, I'd be more concerned about Peacewalker and Survive closing down, because those servers can't be very active at this stage in their respective life cycles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why just the PS3 servers? My guess is that the PS4 microtransactions still sell and therefore it's worth it to them to keep the servers up. If they'll shut down the PS4 version then I'm sure Metal Gear Survive would follow soon after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_DDgamez Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Why MGS 5 before peace walker??? ? Not that i'm complaining! Things like gift others and leaderboards can't be p2p so there should be a server for it too i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason: You need to dispose of a nuke and you can only require that through an online FOB mission or making it by yourself which also requires online. PSNP Guide is wrong on that one... I would agree that it should be marked as such, since you need to be online to develop the nuke, but you could make an argument that disarming it technically does not require an internet connection AFAIK. Either way, anybody going for the trophy should set a timer for when the nuke developes and disarm it right after as there is a high chance those going for the Peace ending will steal it quite fast, especially with a low level FOB.

I like to disagree on the argument part The action itself might be possible offline but the setup before requires online. It's not possible without an online connection at some point so unless you got the nuke before shutdown, it also becomes unobtainable after shutdown. Because it becomes unobtainable if you start the game after shutdown, it should be considered as an online trophy and tagged that way. If for some reason PSNP finds that the trophy can't be marked online because the action of disposing can be done offline... they're not on track with what 'online' should stand for 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people here would be clueless to this fact, since there are no trophies involved, but the online portion of the game has a very passionate/dedicated player base on PC/XB1/PS4. Plenty of people still play daily. Oddly, Microtransactions really don't do much for this game outside of speeding up research. I have thousands of extra coins just from logging in, and I've used a bunch too (Never bought any) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Your post is confusingly worded and it isn't clear which game you're talking about, which is why I thought you were talking about MGS: Survive. Edited August 31, 2021 by HuntingFever Update.

Varhur Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 https://www.konami.com/mg/jp/info/871/ Ground Zeroes is getting shutdown too, does this has any online stuff in it or everything's doable offline? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that one DOES include PS4 servers. I haven't played it myself but from what i can find after a quick google search: There will be no standard multiplayer mode in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, however there will be many online elements designed to enhance your game. You’ll be able to compete against your friends in online rankings and compare game progress and achievements. Who will be the ultimate player in this game of tactical action espionage? So there shouldn't be any online trophies, however i don't know if having an online connection makes some trophies easier or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only leaderboards stats will be affected. The game doesn't have online trophies, so all trophies should be earnable after the shutdown. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hore Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 fairly certain Deterrence (and Disarmament) can be done offline, although it's less practical. You need sufficient offline resources, which are much grindier to get than online resources Offline research timers only count down when you're playing the game, so you'd have to wait ~24h of gameplay before the nuke develops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well aware of that, not sure what your point is.... My response was about the PS4 version of Phantom Pain. 5 hours ago, SHADOW-KILLER-S2 said: It seems that one DOES include PS4 servers.

So there shouldn't be any online trophies, however i don't know if having an online connection makes some trophies easier or not. My guess (And it's only a guess): When you play GZ, you can upload your save to Phantom Pain and unlock some unique items in the game that way. So, if you want the unique unlocks you should have your save from GZ uploaded before the server shuts down. (Unlike many games it's not a one time upload, you can upload updates as you progress) You should also DL the save to Phantom Pain. None of that makes anything easier, it's just cool to have more stuff IMO...You shouldn't need any online connection to pop trophies in GZ.

But still 100% offline. But once you're on patch 1.04 or later, you need to be online during the last minute of the research timer or else it'll stay on 1 minute instead of completing the research. So if playing the game fully patched those trophies are online trophies. Edit: Only the 2 nuke related trophies are apparently possible offline, the trophy for invading an online FOB still remains an online trophy so you need the online if you want to platinum the game from scratch.

You are right, all the enemies and POWs you have rescued/kidnapped will be available in TPP but none of them have high stats, they will be replaced by soldiers with better stats sooner than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they will make a new one with a similar style when the next season releases. Limited run copies might go up in price now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if there are physical copies out there Beware that apart from the 2 nuke trophies that there's one other trophy that is online: Invade an online FOB base. So even if the 2 nuke trophies can be done offline if playing without patches, you still need to get that FOB trophy online so getting the platinum requires online! And the info I got is from other people/forums, I wasn't yet able to test this myself Edited September 1, 2021 by Kolm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
