“Publishers and operators leave their customers and fans of the games alone with an incomplete game. “It always annoyed me that the operation of servers for the online portion in many video games was dropped sooner or later,” the_fog said. The_fog, a programmer who genuinely calls “cyber necromancy” a personal hobby, was one of the folks chiefly responsible saving Resident Evil Outbreak.
In that case, however, it was only for the Japanese version - there wasn’t enough information about how the other versions operated to make bringing those servers back a realistic option. “It wasn’t easy to get working, first-off, and it had some annoying barriers of entry, so lots of players were not enthused to try it.”Ī few years ago, another group of dedicated fans revived Capcom’s quirky online Resident Evil game, Resident Evil Outbreak. “It was fun but it just wasn’t the same as the old days of the real server,” said tester and Twisted Metal diehard myabsolution, one of a number of people involved in this revival.

The peripheral started with five online games: NFL GameDay 2003, NFL 2k3, Madden NFL 2003, SOCOM: US Navy SEALs and Twisted Metal Black Online. The PS2 was released worldwide in 2000, and Sony launched the network adaptor accessory in 2002. Online multiplayer was old hat to PC players, but it wasn’t until the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube that it truly came to consoles. But some fans weren’t willing to accept that, and recently, they managed to bring it back.
Twisted Metal Black, the gold standard of Twisted Metal games, officially went offline in 2008.
