Potent_Delusions Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Went down at 00:09 PST, 15 seconds after I loaded into the server to check if it was still up. You will no longer be able to connect to the online at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDan71 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 They wasted no time, I see. At least I got to level 30 in time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1rvine Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) It had a good run, about 8 1/2 years. RIP servers. I never got to play this one, though it's not the kind I typically like. Edited October 10, 2018 by B1rvine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a new Sony trend that they kill any shutting games at 00:00 PST (where the servers are), hence I checked just after 8am my time. They're really desperate to save any money they can. 2 minutes ago, Conker said: so is the game still playable Yes. It was always going to work offline. The only way it wouldn't is if they released a firmware update to make the PS3 reject the game loading up somehow. That warning they gave is thoroughly misleading and made by someone with no knowledge of how the game works.

TazDevilz1986 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Good to know. Seems i helped my friend in time yesterday. Was a fun game to play and a great journey as well. Thanks to @Conker to help me out with the hosting ones yesterday. Edited October 10, 2018 by TazDevilz1986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Mayus Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Oh, I for some reason thought they were going down on the 26th. I don't know why but I had that date in my head Well I mean i had tons of time to get the trophies but I put it off as I had other stuff I was working on. It was a shame about that game as it was a really fun game just the load times were complete bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevTBP96 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I was one of those individuals who was greatly mislead into thinking the game would be rendered completely unplayable after October 10. I have only owned the game since July and was scrambling to get as many trophies as possible. At least I can still finish the campaign. Was never realistically expecting to plat this one.

Intresseklubben Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) My game glitched out in December of 2017 making it impossible to publish any creations. This happened after I earned the plat but sadly I missed out on the three "publish a track using x theme". Frustrating that 10 months wasn't enough time for the servers to fix themselves enough to get my creations out of limbo. This game was a lot of fun, trophies aside. I'm sad to see it go.

GR1Mshadow Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Been so busy irl that the shutdown slipped my mind for a while, until just this past week. Like getting a message from an old friend you haven't talked to in a long time, only to see that it's an invitation to their funeral. Real shame to see all that user created content and the online tourneys lost to the ages, but I suppose that's how life goes; "nothing gold can stay". It was fun while it lasted. Rest in peace ModNation servers, you will be missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinhoN Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hey, is ModNation still playable offline? I find it funny that update 4.83 was made available the same day they closed the game that "won't be playable even offline after shutdown". I know it's just a coincidence, just wanna confirmation.

It is. When you get to the ModSpot, your car can't move though (at least on the one I checked). But you can access Career / Single Player Race / Split Screen. Also, ModSpot Explorer is unobtainable as a result of the shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
