My concern for Brink MP PS3

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 6:46 am

Meh. I've got my 360 still for online play. I've also been working on finally finishing Dead Space (Don't ask me why it's taken me this long) on my PS3 and getting trophies on Mirror's Edge.

Personally, i HOPE anon is the cause for the system to be down. i think people dont see the big picture. assuming that this was done by anon, then anon would be causing problems for sony. The reason is that by not allowing players to go online, sony is going to receive a serious number of complains by both non paying and paying (plus) customers. And complains by customers is something sony can definitely not afford to ignore. really, anon is just using the most effective way to force sony's hand. although i dont think sony will budge because then they would come off as a company that caves in against hackers. people are complaining because they are forced to go a few days without online gameplay. big deal -_-. its video games, they should not run your life. and besides the reason you are sacrificing a few days without online gameplay is because a group of people are fighting for your rights. support the cause.

Wow. Obviously, your one of the hackers. How is he "fighting for our rights" when he is attacking a very great Coporation it's consumers and customers like? Sony wasn't taking NOBODIES rights away, they were sueing a man for hacking their ps3 system. He clearly violated sony's rights and besides, who in the world would want to play with hackers? And it's a very serious issue, so it is most likely going to go on for way more than a few days. Now, if this group of [censored] hackers are gonna "fight for my rights" and make me miss Brink when it comes out or when i get it, then they are doing anything but "fighting for my rights", more like taking away some of my entertainment. Anyways, so far no news on the issue. Brink is schelduled to come out on the 10th, so that leaves18days, 2w

You sure Sony well give in to terrorists demands?

If they don't by may I'll have my daddy buy them and make it work!
Oh wait, I forgot that I'm not a spoiled upper class little girl..
If sony can't prevent Anon through security then they would probably change a few minor things and hope that satisfies the beast

"You're either with us, or you're against us..."

Does that logic sound familiar?

They are destroying the very thing they are trying to protect.

[EDIT: So, I just came back after thinking about my post and wanted to clarify. I don't have clear information about the motives of the attacks, but I do understand the effects. Personally, I considered whether criticizing this group would come back at me. I spent about five minutes before posting thinking about whether I should post for fear of some sort of reprisal. This is a game forum on the internet, not exactly serious business. But that pause in speaking my mind seems antithetical to the aims of this group, which to my understanding, wants a free and open internet. If I recall correctly, this group cut its teeth in the early stages of its existence by waging war against a certain organization which used excessive litigation to silence opponents. Now I feel as though I am being silenced for a fear of my digital existence being obliterated. I'm sure they have better targets to hit, but my point is that this group has affected my ability to speak my mind freely.]

Pretty sure nobody is fighting for my rights by hacking a gaming network. In fact, the only "right" I really have or care about when concerning said network is the right to play with people online when I want to play, so they're actually taking my rights away.

If I had a game I wanted to be on-line with right now I might be pissed, but I haven't had much time to sit cand game in the last month so I don't care as long as it's over by May 10th.

Don't point fingers. All that's going to do is just bring the mods down on the thread. -_-

I'm very sure that the attacks from the Anonymous members have subsided. The reason that PSN is still down is most likely because of Steam, which would require maintenance. Steam does have a store and all the other odds and ends would most likely take some time. I really would bet PSN would be on by May 10th.

Edit: To clear up this argument about Anonymous also, the members of Anonymous who did attack Sony did it because Sony was trying to track down the IPs of everybody who had watched the hacker's videos. That is the end of it. Believe what you want, but don't be discussing it within these forums. -Thanks!

Once you have played the same game on all 3 platforms you will know which is the best network to play on.....

The PS3 vs XBOX vs PC has been beat to death and let's face it, if one was truely that much better than the others then everyone would all be on the same platform.

Each platform has it's pros and cons, you pick which is important to you.

Gameplay wise, the only way your going to know what platform you're on is what the onscreen tips says to press for your interaction buttons.
Graphics wise, for PC it's only going to be good as your rig can ouput and the console are so similar that again the only way to tell is the onscreen tips.
The exclusives may be important or maybe not, that's personal opinion.
That just leave the network, the community on that network and the support.

I have zero concern about the outage that the PSN is experiencing right now, it could just as easily be XBL.

LMFAO!!!!
do you seriously think I am Anonymous?! BUAHAHAHA if i see you log in again in this forum I am going to hack you facebook!! BUAHAAHAA
Back on topic, "a very great corporation?". How can you call sony a great corporation? do you seriously think Sony gives a [censored] about you? All those people care about is making the most money possible. Just because they seem friendly doesnt mean they are. it just means they are trying really hard to convince you cause they want your money. And i dont understand why you are complaining so much. You say that anonymous is not going to let you play brink but that doesnt make sense. even without online you can play offline and it i th exact same thing. Plus, you can even progress your character offline and take him online whenever. honestly, no one is stoping you from playing brink.

Pretty sure nobody is fighting for my rights by hacking a gaming network. In fact, the only "right" I really have or care about when concerning said network is the right to play with people online when I want to play, so they're actually taking my rights away.

They are fighting for your rights. I dont think you understand exactly what happened between geohotz and sony, and even anonymous. originally the ps3 supported several operating systems on it. and after an update (the irony) they remove this feature and disabled the ability to run more operating systems. So really all geohotz did was 'hack' the ps3 and make it so i could support multiple operating systems AGAIN. that is it. he made it so we can have again a feature that was there when we bought it. and anonymous are trying t punish them for removing it.
Sony removed a feature that was included when you bought the ps3. that pisses me off. if you buy something for what it is, it should not have something taken away after you give your money to sony. hell i dont see sony refunding anyone. right now you dont care because you dont use that feature. but what if instead of removing the otherOS function they removed online gaming, or at the very least decided to start charging $30 a month? im sure you would get pissed then. and im sure you would support anonymous then.

people in general are throwing little kid fits because they cant play online. i feel sad at how cranky they get because they cant play a video game. video games have become a full blown addiction to some people...

Sony wasn't taking NOBODIES rights away, they were sueing a man for hacking their ps3 system. He clearly violated sony's rights

Firstly, lrn2ingrish (irredeemable idiocy of this statement was fully intended)

But more importantly...

Assuming he wasn't lying about having never created his own PSN account (they can prove someone created one at his house, using his PS3, but they haven't confirmed whether it was him or not, and it wasn't done using his name)...

He never recanted the right he currently has to do what he wants with his system.

There's legal precedent for people to have the right to circumvent a company's security systems on a device so they can install software that device won't normally run - if it's pirated software you're running, then the piracy itself is a crime, but modifying the device in a manner which make piracy easier isn't - people who don't have access to the "proper" tools to make iPhone apps, but are skilled enough to do so, can get jailbreaks so they can create their own software for the device. People who have developed awesome ideas for apps but can't get them funded can make versions of the app which will run on a jailbreak iPhone - they've had a court case where Apple tried to sue someone doing this to their devices for a legitimate reason (NOT pirating someone else's software) - targeting the person because he released details on how other people can do the same thing to the device - and they lost the case. That established legal precedent for a person having the right to use their purchased device as they see fit. As geohotz appears to have done with his PS3 - and they haven't found any indication that he, at any point in time, ever, used his knowledge to do anything except add an alternate OS to the PS3 - a function which was available when he first bought the device, but which Sony removed shortly after someone said it would make the system easy to hack (they cited "running costs" as the reason, not the claims of an easy hack, but it's worth mentioning it was days after someone called the Other OS option a vulnerability when they removed it).

The reason Sony's case hinged entirely on Geohotz having a PSN account is that in the terms and conditions for PSN, which you have to agree to while creating the account, it states clearly that you agree not to take any action to circumvent any security measures built into the software or hardware - if you have a PSN account, or EVER HAD ONE, you're legally bound by that agreement. If not, there's plenty of ground for you to turn around and say "My property, I'll do what I like." If he had an account, then he agreed to waive some of his rights as to how he uses his PS3. If not, then he had legal precedent in his favour.

TL;DR - He hasn't been proven to have violated any of Sony's rights, and while it's possible he DID create a PSN account, and claimed it was someone else's to avoid legal problems, there's not enough evidence to say either way conclusively. If he's lying, good luck proving it - if he's not, he didn't do anything illegal. Bottom line: WE DON'T KNOW WHO WAS RIGHT.

Shinigami...

You make me wanna jump off a cliff. Sony is a good coporation because of their products and so. I never said they cared about me like a child, so learn how to understand a comment before you reply. Oh and btw, Brink is pretty much blah is there isn't MP. Hell, its pretty much mp only, at least more focused on it. And that guy hacked ps3. He wasn't supposed to hack, but he did. So thats his fault for going against sony's rules.

YOU ARE NOT AN ADMIN SO PLEASE SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

Onto the CONVERSATION. Sony did act like an ass and anon wanted to punish them for that. Anon defined irony and [censored] up, and turned off PSN and destroyed their own image. By bringing down PSN they hurt the little guy, which is the opposite of what they wanted to do.

So everyone is right and everyone is wrong.

Nope, not going to reopen this. It's full of flames and other such breaking of rules.

I will site these two rules for you:

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/724862-forum-rules-and-general-information/

6. Cross-Site Trolling is not allowed.

Destructive and personal criticisms of other sites are not welcome here. Disagreements occurring on other forums should stay at those forums and not be brought here. Flaming members or groups of members from other forums and websites (such as "everyone at Forum X is a moron" or "Webmaster Y is an idiot") may result in sanctions against your account. Inciting or organizing attacks against sites will result in the instant termination of your account.

7. Flaming is not allowed.

Insulting individuals or groups of members and name calling are flames. Any remark that is made to insult another member or group of members will be considered a flame and thus you may receive a warning for it.
Calling people a troll or an apologist for instance can both be considered a flame as can calling someone stupid or ADD. Attacking Xbox players, PS3 players or PC players is not allowed and calling them "console kiddies" or in anyway indicating someone is in some way a lesser person because of their choice is considered a flame here.
