Support NeoGAF

[CREMSteve]

Old news?

Was showing off some system features to a friend who just picked up a PS4, and tried to play PT. Shareplay no longer works for this game.

 

[Wario64]

It probably didn't support it to begin with

 

[legacyzero]

Wait... did it work before? And if so, if Konami purposely did this...

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Konami stop! Please!

 

[Flandy]

Now I can't charge people $5 an hour to play it (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

 

[CREMSteve]

It probably didn't support it to begin with

Nah, I've done it before with no issues. Definitely a new development. The message is weird too, says something along the lines of "This game is not available in your region so you can't play it."

 

[Savitar]

Next Konami removes the internets to prevent any video of it being seen again.

 

[chubigans]

RIP Wario's income.

 

[Slowdive]

It did.

It's probably related to being removed from the store, because IIRC any game you Shareplay is added to your library feed, which you can then click to go to its store page and purchase the title.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Konami going hard for that most hated game company award.

 

[Wario64]

RIP Wario's income.

I think someone replied to me that it doesn't work any more when I tweeted that, I didn't follow up on it though

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Ffs, I'm lost for words.. aside from everything i have just until this final fullstop.

 

[RockTurtle]

this is just more tabs into my 'all digital future" fears

 

[Marvel]

 

[Lakitu]

Konami just sink lower and lower.

Although it may have been Sony's decision.

 

[Ricky_R]

I don't understand why people act surprised any more. They will probably put an expiration date for those who have the game installed on their systems, just wait for it.

 

[border]

Such insanity!

Instead of trying to wipe PT from existence, why don't they just remove the Silent Hills trailer at the end, and start charging money for it? There's clearly significant demand.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I don't understand why people act surprised any more. They will probably put an expiration date for those who have the game installed on their systems, just wait for it.

Through a "stability" patch or something. I totally agree it will happen.

 

[chubigans]

Aw really? Huh this must have happened a while ago then. Maybe at the same time of it's de-listing.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Through a "stability" patch or something. I totally agree it will happen.

It's coming we all know it.

 

[Stacey]

Form an orderly queue outside my home to play P.T, £10 an hour (free cups of tea)

 

[Jonnax]

Yep.

The question is however, are we at the "Fuck it" or "Fuck you" stage.

 

[Pillville]

I don't understand why people act surprised any more. They will probably put an expiration date for those who have the game installed on their systems, just wait for it.

This is what I'm waiting on. The meltdown will be insane.

.......Actually, what will happen is a $1.99 re-packaging will be release on PSN.

 

[Elandyll]

So Konami went as far as telling Sony to disable Shareplay in PT...

Konamisalami... What are you doing??

 

[Lakitu]

Form an orderly queue outside my home to play P.T, £10 an hour (free cups of tea)

If it's PG Tips, I'm going to chuck it in your face (when it's cold of course).

Yorkshire Tea or nothing.

 

[jeanRicK]

This could be a "side-effect" of it being delisted

 

[SerTapTap]

Konami are fucking monsters.

Shame on Sony for allowing this to even be possible though.

 

[Artex]

I still have PT installed. Are the PS4's on Ebay actually selling at those exorbitant prices? If so, this could be the key to me fixing my dead PC issue

Konami are fucking monsters.

Shame on Sony for allowing this to even be possible though.

Don't worry, soon Sony will make right by employing Kojima-san.

 

[Åesop]

ffs

 

[HORRORSHØW]

konami going all in

How are they "free" if you're still paying for the service?

 

[Eggbok]

I wouldn't even be shocked at this point if they killed all the licenses for the people who have it downloaded.

 

[Marvel]

Yep.

The question is however, are we at the "Fuck it" or "Fuck you" stage.

Both.

 

[UnforgivenTwin]

I wouldn't even be shocked at this point if they killed all the licenses for the people who have it downloaded.

Maybe they will just kill all of the people who have it downloaded?Lock the doors!

 

[Tomodachi]

Are they going to try and wipe our memories of the game next? Erase every proof of its existence from the internet? This is getting crazy, such a shameful moment for the company.

 

[Alpende]

They're pulling every plug there is.

 

[MUnited83]

Jesus, next step is sending robbers to people's houses to erase it from the console.


And then hire hitmen to kill everyone whoever player it. With pachinko machines.

 

[Roto13]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa

 

[TouchMyBox]

This could be a "side-effect" of it being delisted

Yeah, it would make sense that Sony would just build that in to the process of delisting a game. Have there been any other games that have been removed from the PSN on PS4?

 

[Lightning_Roller]

Yep.

The question is however, are we at the "Fuck it" or "Fuck you" stage.

I think Konami is slowly going out of the "Fuck it" stage and will go out swinging in the "Fuck you" stage.

 

[OléGunner]

Maybe they will just kill all of the people who have it downloaded?Lock the doors!

I'll be patiently waiting for the Konami assassins to come all the way to Southern Africa for my download of PT.

Btw did I say Fuck Konami yet?

 

[Jarsonot]

How are they "free" if you're still paying for the service?

I silently found this amusing.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Yep.

The question is however, are we at the "Fuck it" or "Fuck you" stage.

The fuck everything stage

 

[Matush]

So patch that disables the game incoming?

 

[stargateheaven]

Nah, I've done it before with no issues. Definitely a new development. The message is weird too, says something along the lines of "This game is not available in your region so you can't play it."

Its because it makes an icon on the clients ps4 but it doesnt exist. Thats why.

In short.. They have changed nothing. This is a problem that comes with deleting a game from the store.

 

[A10Pilot]

Go, Konami, there's only one thing left to do:

At this point, I want the flashy thing so I don't remember Konami anymore.

 

[Adan0s]

I wouldn't even be shocked at this point if they killed all the licenses for the people who have it downloaded.

Well, it's definitely expiring

 

[playXray]

This isn't a patch. When a game is played through shareplay a tiny new 'shareplay version' of the app is installed locally, even if you already have the full game installed. As PT has been completely removed from the PSN, this shareplay version is no longer available.

It's likely the same for any game that's been totally removed from the PSN.
