[Mr.Squirrel]

wow, the konami id shit is retarded. im just gonna write down my username/password and e-mail it to myself. aint no way in hell im gonna remember all of this shit

 

[gbovo]

konami ID required. there's no other way to play the beta from what i read. when the beta goes live you will log in with your konami and game id.

Is the Konami ID required just for the beta, or will the final game also require us to have a Konami ID?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I'll be playing plenty of MGO come May 21st. Anyone can feel free to add me. PSN ID is PaiPai. Game ID is paipaimaster.

I think the final MGO will require it. I got the sense that all Konami online games run this way from there site.

yea, looks like the IDs will be required for all future Konami games online (for Sony at least) from the way their site is set up. i checked the terms of service and it seems Konami will monitor the games online and they can suspend or cancel your ID if you break the rules.

that's messed up. Why don't they just use our PSN id's like every other PS3 game?

 

[dralla]

because they want to increase the barrier to entry to scare away all the noobs

 

[LiK]

no clue. my guess is that konami wants to maintain control over their online games for MGO at least. i guess it's easier to keep track of players with the ID system than rely on Sony's PSN IDs

why can't they just use a system that links to our PSN id's (superficially) but still based on their network if they want to monitor user activity.

dunno, but i'm hoping the final game will link our Konami IDs to our PSN IDs.

 

[Inanna]

I'm confused. So, since European MGO beta is free, we don't need to sign up to get the code, right? How do we get Konami ID for MGO beta then?

Konami is Japanese company, I don't think any Japanese company is that online-savy, Western devs are the ones pushing the online gaming space. Just look at what MS did with the Windows Live ID, that allowed Bungie to do all that stat tracking a community features on their website through XBL.

you get the Konami ID from Konami's ID site when you sign up. the drop down menu has a list of european countries.

my friend just told me that when you sign up for it, you'll need to register to get the code during a procress that's similar to Japan. so i might be wrong about not getting a code.

I don't really care what goes on with XBL. Sony has provided an online id system for their platform for developers to use for their online games. Every PS3 game released so far has utilized that system 9including Japanese PS3 online games like Ridge Racer and GT5p). I don't see why Konami can't do the same.

You can get the MGO Beta by simply downloading it when its uploaded to the PSN, get your Konami ID here:

Well, games like GT5P and Hotshots are missing basic features like voice chat. Sony's "hands-off" approach alows shit like that, as well as letting Konami use their own service. It's just different philosophies regarding online gaming among Western and Eastern devs. Sony really should grow some balls and implement some guidlines for all online games.

Finally registered my Konami ID, yeah not a fun process.

Was able to pick up a MGS Saga dvd still at Gamestop today, so I'll be around for the beta afterall

In regards to GT5P, Kaz said in the past they don't want chatting during the race as it can easily become a distraction. He wants the players to remain focused on their driving.

As for Hotshots I can easily see it being a problem while playing, as others can attempt to distract or spook someone about to take a shot.

To my knowledge both games have voice chat, but keep them in the lobbies only.

 

[AmericanNinja]

This will only be for the beta. You guys actually think they wont use the PSN? Come on now lol:lol

would be nice if they gave you an option to hear voices in the actual games. when i played Forza 2 on Live with friends it was hilarious when we all crashed and laughed about it. Sony could put a Mute All option or something.

 

[Inanna]

Hmm registering for Konami ID was VERY easy for me!! But they didn't give me any code at the end so I'm guessing I won't be needing it to download beta

Oh and thank you BigBoss

 

[Rice-Eater]

Is there a certain date to enter in the code? I just tried late night and the message I was given was that my code was invalid. I tried a few more times with no success. Are we suppose to wait until the 17th or at some other time?

You have to wait until the 17th, though you can register your Konami ID right now.

yup, wait until the 17th to get it. Sony blog said you'll only get an error message before that

Leaving it as an option would have been the best route & maybe for GT5 it will be there, but I doubt it. Its the approach that Polyphony takes to their game, its a serious competition based on driving skill and lap times. I really think they don't want to have the game come down to mouthing off and people retaliating by crashing into others because of it.

I'm actually surprised about Kaz doing damage in GT5, because I always got the sense that he did not like games that promoted ruining cars like some others have.

The option would be ok for Hotshots if everyone agreed to it from the lobby or something. But again even with the fun nature of the game, the Japanese take their behavior in golf very seriously, thats probably why it isn't an option.

i can only make a big SIGH and will be bored online when i play GT5 prologue. noone ever hangs around a lobby to chat. i guess when i start crashing into guys, they can't cuss at me. :lol

Yeah I've just read that. I think it's kind of messed up that it's not tied into our PSN account but I'm not too concerned about my name being taken since it involves numbers.

I'm not even sure about getting GT5P myself. I'm the perfect Polyphony type driver! I race with a bunch of Japanese guys only when it comes to online games. And its very civil calculated type of racing. Bumping is no good, cut offs are no good, taking the wrong line in a corner is no good. And even in games with voice chat they do not talk!

I play RR7 with them all the time, I remember when I first started to play with the guys I bumped a guy coming out of a corner, and I got three emails about it the next day kindly asking me to practice more & improve my driving skills!

You can easily guess that these guys don't give a crap about damage in GT5!

Your KONAMI ID must be 8-32 characters in length using lower case letters, numbers, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.).

You need ALL of these elements? wtf?
