Gwendly Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/get-help/help-library/apps---features/playstation-apps---features/playstation-vita-terminated-apps/ Looks like near kicked the bucket on July 31, 2017 ; are there trophies that are no longer achievable after this?

Undead Wolf Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I thought Near got terminated a long time ago... I guess I was wrong? It doesn't really matter to me as I never used it anyway. As for if there are unobtainable trophies now, I'm positive some games relied on that feature for certain trophies, but I can't think of any examples.

Shadiochao Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I thought they did this ages ago. Isn't that the reason Smart As can't be platinumed anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought this happened a while ago, at least a year or two. But I remember the consensus being that no trophies would be affected... Different situation, different outcome.

DF007gamer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Didn't have anyone "NEAR" me anyways to make this feature useable. Doesn't bother me really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegirlruka Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) I think this might mean the actual app will be removed maybe? Has anyone tried using it since Monday? Edited August 2, 2017 by kuuhaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigma999 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Near doesn't have any trophies if yoi're talking about the built-in app on Vita system to track down nearby Vita players within a certain radius . And apparently the service is no longer available as i tried right now, that's too bad cause i use to mess with it quite regularly to see what folks were nearby and what they were playing too . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried using it just now so the app hasn't been removed. It didn't work for me, though. It said something about parental controls preventing my location being used. I can't be bothered to mess with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullstomp Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Near was reduced to limited use prior to this; it still had some core functionality. I had friends who asked for help with sharing HVTS(High Value Targets[bosses]) for "Unit 13" as recently as last month and it still worked. Guess that is no longer the case.

They only turned off the location services (which was essentially killing off Near, but let's ignore that) but the app was still 'usable' =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big budget? Being a retail game? The Vita has hundreds of amazing and unique games. It is not just a "port" machine for PS3 and PS4 games. Games like Murasaki Baby, Freedom Wars, Dynasty Warriors Next, Little Deviants, Killzone Mercenary, Gravity Rush and others like Ragnarok Odyssey all encompass various aspects of what makes the PS Vita a wonderful platform for gaming. To say that it has a shortage of great games is to do it a huge disservice. Not only is it objectively untrue, but it's just plain ignorant and nonsense. EDIT: And your comment body is not supposed to be written like a book title. Please use proper grammar and puncuation when conversing on the forums.

crimsonidol38 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I wonder if they will remove Near with the next firmware-update (if there's any) then. As some games have used near for exchanging items and so I wonder if there's any game where the plat is now unobtainable? One that might come to my mind is Angry Birds for Vita. The Free as a Bird-trophy required you to use near to send the birds to other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
