Vagrant0 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 @ Vagrant0: I don't have to connect to play single player for my games (Resistance and Uncharted 2). What do you mean you have to connect?Not sure exactly since I don't have a PS3, but I have a certain family member who has been going stir crazy because they can't play any of the games they want to without being able to connect for validation or update checks.

antonkr Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I was thinking lately, what would happen to steam if that happens......Just think about it, no people own a disk for steamEveryone used their credit cards on steamMany people have used a lot of money on their steam accounts.

CommanderCrazy Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I buy the big games in store, and only buy the indie games with my paypal account. I did recently make a new steam account though, i couldnt remember the pass and the email that it was linked to closed too :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkWarrior45 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 If I understand correctly, only the game that have to connect to Sony's server in order to update are affected by this. Some games, when they update, do not always phone sony's service, they phone the publisher's server for their updates. These games are still playable. Also, you do not have to be online in order to play single player games. Disconnecting the PS3 from your LAN will stop the updates, and will allow you to play any PS3 game in single player mode without having to update.

JimboUK Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Have to remember, not only is this affecting current customers, but it is also making sales of almost ALL PS3 games virtually meaningless since nobody can connect just to play single player, including Brink in a few days. It's not just gamers who are being impacted by this, but virtually every game company who was sold on the "security" of having their games connect to the online service.FO3 DLC was delayed if I am correct because of it. I've seen XBox, PS3, all console, and only PC exclusive but maybe in some time we will see xbox and PC exclusive. For some reason i am able to update all my games to the latest version, all my single player games are playable. Currently playing Just Cause 2 until psn gets back up and running. Fantastic game i do sayhttp://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif. Yeah the updates have been up for a while, I had one of my games update. Hmmm I fancy playing Just Cause 2, fantastic game, moddable on the PC too. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
