News that the company Sony decided to close the digital store PlayStation Store on consoles PS3, caused a surge of interest in the platform among gamers who began to massively download games from PSN… And some of them faced big problems.
It is the seventh generation consoles, which include Playstation 3, the practice of downloading patches from the Web has become widespread. But with the reduction in support for the platform from Sony, it turned out that updates for some games are now simply impossible to download.
Since the beginning of April, enthusiasts have been compiling a list of PS3 games that can no longer be updated. Some projects need a network connection to work correctly (even to sync trophies), which makes them virtually unplayable.
It is also interesting that the region in which the PSN account is registered also matters. Also, problems can be associated with disk versions.
Here are just a few examples (yes, there are games from Sony itself):
- Gran turismo 5 – CD version for Europe;
- SOCOM: Special Forces – CD version for Europe;
- SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs – CD version for Europe;
