SCEA to end online service for older titles
via Games Industry
SCEA has announced that it will be shutting down the servers for a number of its older online titles for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable platforms.
According to dbTechno the online games will end on June 30 this year, and while most games will still be playable offline, two of the titles which only have online modes will become unplayable.
The closure of online play servers for older titles is a normal process, and is only usually applied to games which have a very low, or no, demand.
The full list of titles for which servers will be closed is as follows:
PlayStation 2 games
- Amplitude
- Destruction Derby Arenas
- Everybody’s Golf
- EyeToy Chat*
- F1 '04
- Jak X
- Lemmings PS2
- My Street
- Syphon Filter Omega Strain
- This is Football 2004
- This is Football 2005
- Twisted Metal: Black Online*
PlayStation Portable games
- Lemmings
- World Tour Soccer 2

Amplitude was a really fun game.
For those of you who don't know, its like guitar hero and rock band, before guitar hero, or rock band.
It's played with a standard controller too.

the # 1 problem with online games that require a company to run a server
the company will get board, or the attendance will fall below the line where its practical to run the server
now thank goodness sony is one of those few companies who support their games for a good while
but im sure anyone still playing TMB is quite pissed off right now
could be worse, like atari who gets you to pay 60 bucks for a online only game just to have it crap out less than a year later
