Upcoming Server Shutdowns & Delistings


EdinhoN

Recommended Posts

So something I just realized with this wave of recent announcements beside them all being Sony published games. Four of the games, Freedom Wars, Soul Sacrifice, Soul Sacrifice Delta and Gravity Rush 2 (already was down but mentioned again) were all developed by the now defunct Japan Studio.

 

We should keep an eye on any other titles they made as Sony may be closing up all their servers eventually to cut costs from a studio that doesn't exist anymore to support to them.

Wikipedia has a full list of every game that Japan Studio made or contributed to until the day Sony shutdown the studio: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Studio

 

Some of their older online enabled games, closed down a few years back but I believe there are still a handful up and running. Tokyo Jungle is one I'd keep an eye on, because there is at least 1 online trophy if I remember right.

Thank for this and Go! Sports Ski is on that list too despite its main page staying it was developed by someone else. I guess that confirms this is a clean sweep of Japan Studio titles it seems.

No problem :). Also, I've just remembered that the most recent non-VR version of Everybody's Golf has at least 2 online trophies in it so I'd prioritise that as well.

Yes it does. Just finished checking that list all these games would have 1 or 2 online effected trophies, if Sony decides to shut them next.

(Requires Online Courses including DLC Courses.)

(Requires two controllers, offline co-op, unsure if that means online co-op exists.)

(Same deal as above, but also adds Co-op or Solo trophies, unsure again if Online Co-op or game may be harder without it.)

(Unique case, seriously doubt Sony would turn off servers for this but can't air out the possibility either, with it being 7 years old next March. Everything should be obtainable solo but as with games of this type, easier for others with help.)

While EoJ has an online mode, none of the trophies require an internet connection.

Thanks for confirmations on these. Removed them both from my above list.

I played with a friend of mine and found out something to keep in mind. According to him, the shutdowns for Freedom Wars/Soul Sacrifice/Soul Sacrifice Delta were for the Japan region only. Why? Because the Japan region has dedicated servers while the US region uses peer-to-peer.

 

A few problems:

1) There was that mini shutdown for a few weeks that prevented people from connecting to the online portion of Freedom Wars

2) When you connect and see other players, it tells their location (New York, Mumbai, Tokyo, Wellington, etc)

 

I find it interesting that there's been nothing on this page from Sony. So that does strengthen his argument. Doesn't mean that will not change and we won't see it there.

An update about Freedom Wars:

 

Global version was confirmed as being doable with 2 ad-hoc Vitas after the shutdown.

However JP and AS stacks have an extra trophy that's not present in global.

https://psnprofiles.com/trophy/2801-freedom-wars/23-協泛者而非監視者

 

Using Google Translate it is:

Name: "Coordinator rather than monitor"

Description: Create a new voice using "Application for Renovation of Affiliated Terminal" and register it.

 

It would be nice if someone who already owns any of the stacks can test if it's an offline trophy or not. Might be in risk with the shutdown


Any idea if you need an online pass for this game? I just bought the JP stack and I’m itching to play it but I’m unsure how different the online is.

EXTRA:

Soul Sacrifice is becoming unobtainable after the shutdown!

 

https://psnprofiles.com/trophy/1926-soul-sacrifice/46-from-cover-to-cover

Someone has confirmed this trophy requires an internet connection (and online pass).

Once again, guides fail to tag online trophies correctly, so that's why I never take a supposedly offline trophy for granted.

 

Soul Sacrifice Delta might have "hidden" online trophies too, if someone who has played and platted can bring further confirmation, it would be appreciated.

I got this trophy during the previous outage. Even if you get a network error the page still counts. It would be nice if someone could second this though.

Ah that's nice to hear, so I guess the issue should be the online pass then. Still, it needs some testing of turning off wi-fi to see if it pops.

If you have a physical copy of this game and it's a JP version, you do need an online pass. And you can only play with people who are also on a JP verison of this game.

So I am confused now .. is Freedom Wars, Soul Sacrifice and Soul Sacrifice Delta obtainable now without an online pass and when servers are down, or not?

Freedom Wars supposedly had its online pass patched in a long time ago so should be doable up until closure. Soul Sacrifice and Delta idk what's going on but it seems some people might not be able to claim the online pass, depsite both digital versions including it.

Looks like there's 1 extra trophy on freedom wars JP and AS stack that we don't now if is possible ad hoc after server shutdown we need someone to test
