A question about LAN games!
11/16/13 at 14:10:31
 
Greetings everyone!


I just want to know two things:

1. When the online servers go down...will I be able to play LAN games?

2. So at home with two PS3 and two copies of the game, I can play 4 players LAN? With one router?


Can someone explain this to me?


Thank you in advance!

1. Yes

2. Yes

Simple as that really, especially if you've lan'd in the past, it's a snap. As someone who owns two PS3's and two copies of TMX they don't make it very hard to pull off.

You SHOULD be able to play over the internet through LAN tunneling as well.  Just make sure your PS3 is hooked up to the internet through your computer, and tunnel to whomever else wants to play online with you.  Fortunately, it has not come to that yet, but it's what happened to Twisted Metal: Black.

The problem with that is the freezing and crashes... if you go down route of lan tunnelling in future.

This could have horrible consequences, if one person freezes and reboots their console... it could most certaintly cause desyncing on everyone's console, and everyone has to reboot xlink kai and their consoles. A nightmare.

From what I've heard from play-testing prior to launch, the crashes and freezes still occurred in LAN mode. You would probably avoid network errors though!

But still... yeah I wouldn't think it was feasible option.

It would avoid the horrendous network structure for sure, as that was probably the main reason the online is so hit and miss with connections.  I've personally never tried it, so I couldn't tell you in LAN/LAN Tunneling worked well or not
