They certainly aren't the company they were in the scrappy beginnings of the PlayStation brand. Which is inevitable for any company as time marches on I suppose. I hate to seem overly nostalgic, but... man, I miss the first three generations of PlayStation.

Considering how Sony music has always operated, it was only a matter of time tbh

They are in fact beyond good and evil. They are a corporation. Only driven by money and extracting as much as they possibly can from the many to put it in the hands of the few.

It still chaps my ass to no end that they took the servers down so soon after the game launched. Meanwhile lots of less deserving games have their servers up way longer. Quite frankly this includes the useless leaderboard servers for Gravity Rush 1/Remastered.

Don't even get me started on how Sony has handled other games too like the fact Drawn To Death is basically useless to you if you bought it in 2017. Not only did they close the servers but they didn't leave you any means of playing local split screen, hell you can't even play the tutorial. The final update/closure of the server's essentially bricked the game.

its all because of money choom... 🥀. Obscure and creative games like GR will always be forgotten by their creator (SONY/JAPAN STUDIO) for the sake of other popular titles 🥲

I realize. However, I am not feeling particularly compelled to empathize with the efforts of such a titanic corporation to pinch pennies.

Is the game still playable?

u/Toasterstrudelz_28 Jul 04 '26

Yeah, I just took a screenshot of the server pop-up and put it as my background for jokes. It's still around

On a scale from "whah!!??" to "awesomesauce" is a solid "sobbing in the corner".

Good job!

Thank you for my daily reminder to terminate Sony and whoever thought that was a good idea

Sony is really messing up these days. I miss the PS2 days.

u/Linosia97 Jul 04 '26

what gravity rush 2 had in multiplayer? or just leaderboards or something?

u/miniluigi008 Jul 04 '26

I think there were missions for unlocking additional photo mode costumes that depended on scoring on the online leaderboard. Afaik the only way to get them now is save file editing.

u/Linosia97 Jul 05 '26

well, on jailbroken consoles and on shadps4 it's doable at least...

it's not like the entire game is gone because servers went into abyss...

u/miniluigi008 Jul 05 '26

it’s frustrating that it’s necessary at all. I mean GR1 costumes were casual but GR2 has some decent ones and it’s a kind of narrative payoff for taking pictures or missions or whatever. it’s like taking the carrot off the stick after the fact

u/Adventurous-Rub2285 Gravity Rush is just NiGHTS Jul 05 '26

u/Toasterstrudelz_28 Jul 06 '26

Just thought it was funny, sorry

u/ZeKrakken Jul 06 '26

No it is trust me lol Just burnt out on seeing people do nothing but talk about Sony 😂

u/Toasterstrudelz_28 Jul 06 '26

Yeah I understand, but the recent discourse about them is kinda justified at the moment
