MAJOR Server Closure for PS3 Games (Killzone 2&3, EyePet, WipeOut, Gran Turismo 6)

Killzone 2 ?

Boosting kz3 was shit, as well as just playing it felt like garbage. But I did enjoy me some wipeout.

PS3 is what? 11? 12yrs old? It's sad, but to be expected.  

Wipeout for me!

 

Shouldn't we count the closing games' age? Somebody's console may be only 2 years old (from assembly line). ?

 

 

Thanks for the Trophy Info about the EyePets."The Friends" version doesn't have trophies really, but what kind of Online does it have?

 

 

Will I find any matches right away in KZ 2&3, if I hop there now?

I don't think either EyePet have any online functionality - as in, I don't believe you would have online play between individuals. I may be wrong - I just did the plats and moved on - but the games are really SP

 

Don't touch either KZ IMO. I don't think you'll see anything but boosting now, and you are well out of time to get the online trophies. The servers go offline sometime tomorrow.

I’ve missed the weight of Killzone 2’s unique character movement since they stripped it out of its sequel, but I don’t miss the insane spawn camping. Still, always thought I’d be able to go back and play it online one day, but I’ve had zero desire to with everyone rushing online to rank up in these last days instead of playing for fun. Shame it doesn’t have a LAN option for preservation and posterity ?

I only seem to play (and unwrap) games when the servers go down. Did the same with Resistance 3, got absolutely destroyed, couldn't get a single kill. The time it took to uninstall that game was far more than I had played it (anyone who uninstalled R3, knows what I'm talking about, it's an infamous case), but I had to experience it. Some kind of mental disease.

I care only about Eyepet atm since i'm waiting for my copy lol. I already done Wipeout HD, 2048, KZ2, KZ3, KZ3 MP.

 

I think Eyepet requires connecting cus you need to sign on for it. And they might  delete the store function in the game menu. Than it would be game over.

I am able to quickly (!) find games in KZ3, but not KZ2. Which is a bit strange, seeing as how the concensus seems to be that KZ2's multiplayer was better (and more widely played?).

Anybody knows the precise time of all closures?

My guess: 11 am PST. Since almost all of the games for these are European based, it could also be 11 am London time. 

[TVippy]

Hopefully not LONDON time...

[POEman553]

It's sooner than that on KZ2 and KZ3. Just checked it now and it won't connect. Got reports that Wipeout HD/2048 are dead too. 

[TVippy]

Ooooh, crap... couldn't make it in time for proper KZ3 play.

 

Are you aware if the EyePets still work?

Eyepet is down now as well.

Knack Quest, because of the game knack was ps+ on february.

I played it before closure, but I've just started Knack and you can only transfer the items to one save game...

I've created a wachete to monitor the Sony Decommissioned servers webpage - there's more detail in this post:
