Undead Wolf Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 9 hours ago, Satoshi Ookami said: 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 Ah, I see. Well, now that it's completely useless, they might as well just remove the app altogether. I guess that's more effort than Sony is willing to give to Vita, though.

Lance_87 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Oh well... at least this doesn't stop Super Stardust Delta from unlocking the extra soundtracks, which apparently required Near. It is gone for me, too, and i never really played that game until now, but it's still unlocking a new track, a notifying me about the Near gift, every time i start the game. Does anyone have a complete list of Vita games which used Near to unlock exclusive content? I heard something about UMvC3 and SFxT, but that's it... EDIT: the tracks stopped unlocking after finishing the Orchestral soundtrack. And apparently, Retro is only unlocked through gifting. MEH!

RNumbers Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Guess I was wrong about no games being affected. I heard A-Men also had a couple of trophies tied to Near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unit 13 But I've plat those long ago Smart As was already unachievable due to server closure. Unit 13 is affected, but not to the point where anything is unachievable. Correct me if I'm wrong. Games that are now unachievable seem to be: A-men Angry Birds Trilogy Street Fighter X Tekken? Travel Bug? EDIT: Ars on playstationtrophies.org has stated SFxT may be safe.

Guest Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Ah, so this is why everytime i try to update my Near it said service not working etc. Thought it was the stupid psn maintenance that been going on forever. Oh well. It was sorta nice seeing who played what around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiopile Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Will they be removing the app/icon/data from the Vita in a future update or will it be more like an ugly scar on my face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ars Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 We went through the list on PST Unachievables as @RNumbers stated. What we know currently, titles that supposedly are out of the picture are: A-Men Angry Birds Trilogy Travel Bug I'm not expecting too many more to be affected by this. Smart As is already shut down almost two years ago. SFxT was functioning normally because it doesn't require a server upload, just Near app to exist. If they remove the app with a FW update things might be different. Ragnarok Odyssey, Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Unit 13 support Near Gifts, but missing the gifts has such a marginal effect on game progress no one should care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerCoard Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) NEAR was a cool little feature I know you could gift stuff in it, like in game items. Hopefully Sony isn't discounting service for the Vita anytime soon there are so many good games on there and a lot coming out this year and early 2018 I still love my Vita and recommend it to anyone in the market for a handheld. 10 hours ago, audiopile said: Will they be removing the app/icon/data from the Vita in a future update or will it be more like an ugly scar on my face? They most likely will leave it on I'm assuming that it's built into the system I would just put it into a folder and call it failed dreams Edited August 4, 2017 by PowerCoard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they disable it, we'll be forced to pirate our own games and hack our own Vitas to play them. Edited August 4, 2017 by T87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Near at least once a week to look for Gold Skins to unlock on UMvC3, and sadly I didn't manage to get all of those, just missing about 11 or so, and now I'll never be able to complete the collection. At least this doesn't affect the trophies of the game, since the Herald Skins are just an aesthetic touch to make your characters look different.

goodSuM Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 (edited) Not tied to trophies, but BreakQuest: Extra Evolution had Near-exclusive ships to unlock.

Edunstar84 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Well, I guess I should've played Ragnarok Odyssey Ace before. Now I have to get those rare cards on my own. It doesn't affect the trophies. Just that I'll have to trust the rng gods later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leenewbe Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 That sux, tried to use it today. at least none of the games I have on vita have a trophy tied to the near app, just means a bit more grinding on some where I could have earned stuff easier.

Are you sure? All Vita and PS4 games are sandboxed and don't know (or care) about what the other app does, just the feedback loop. Did your Near not let you return to the game after timing out on location services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
