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

Firewire said:I think the final MGO will require it. I got the sense that all Konami online games run this way from there site.
that's messed up. Why don't they just use our PSN id's like every other PS3 game?LiK said: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.

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.LiK said: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

ilanna said: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?
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.dralla said: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.

dralla said: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.
Firewire said: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.

LiK said: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.
Firewire said: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.
BigBoss said:You have to wait until the 17th, though you can register your Konami ID right now.
LiK said: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
You need ALL of these elements? wtf?Your KONAMI ID must be 8-32 characters in length using lower case letters, numbers, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.).

I think it needs at least 2 of those elements. Wouldn't work for me unless I put a number.BigBoss said:No, just make a username thats at least 8 characters long.

I entered Adfddds_1-. randomly and still get the message specifying the requirements for the ID. Any suggestions?BigBoss said:No, just make a username thats at least 8 characters long.

That's fucking retarded. And what's with the 4 sec inactivity timer?BigBoss said:The Game ID, the Konami ID is only for the website.
