Game Spy - jak zagrać w sieci po zamknięciu portalu ?

[leven]

Witam.

 

Mam nadzieję, że nie złamałem regulaminu.

 

Pod koniec maja mają zostać wyłączone serwery Game Spy.

 

Pytanie brzmi: co mamy zrobić z grami, gdy wyłączą nam serwery ?

 

Lista gier jest baaardzo długa: http://www.poweredbygamespy.com/projects/2010-titles/

 

Może ma ktoś wiadomości na ten temat ?

 

Będzie można korzystać z innych serwerów, np. steam ?

 

Nie wyobrażam sobie Borderlandsa 1 bez rozgrywki sieciowej :(

Pozostaje Ci LAN/Hamachi albo nadzieja, że producenci przeniosą swoje gry na coś innego.

Take all of these with a grain of salt. Many of the games in this list are from other user posts, and therefore should be considered unsourced unless otherwise stated. It is by no means complete or accurate.
In light of the upcoming shutdown of GameSpy's multiplayer services on May 31st, here is a partial list of games that will be affected. Feel free to contribute any games I missed in the comments, along with a reliable source, article, screenshot, or any sort of proof to verify. Unless otherwise stated, assume each game listed refers to the PC version of the game.
Also, on a side note, my research found that both the Nintendo Wi-Fi Network for Wii and DS used GameSpy servers.
Edit: Moved the majority of games without citations from "Affected" to "Status Unknown"
Edit 2: Thanks a bunch to ScottKevill for a big list of games that didn't use GameSpy to begin with.

Activision: "Activision won't be affected." (Source)
Bohemia Interactive: "We are planning to introduce an alternative solution using Steam to Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead and Arma 3 users. Other games... will have [a] more limited multiplayer experience with loss of server browser... That said, direct IP connection to servers should work even after Gamespy services are no longer available." (Source)
Capcom: "There are a few titles for which Capcom utilizes GameSpy's matchmaking services for online gameplay. We are evaluating migration solutions and will have more information in the near future" (Source)
Epic: ""We're spinning [up an in-house solution] next week and we don't foresee any impact." (Source)

Developer of GameRanger here. TL;DR: The news is not that bad.
The original source of this list (re-posted endlessly) was from GameSpy Arena which from memory was a web-based ladder system (manual confirm-win, report-loss) that was completely unrelated to which games used GameSpy tech. So the list is both incorrect and incomplete.

 

Regardless, from that list, these games never used GameSpy tech in the first place:
Aliens vs Predator Classic / Gold
Call of Duty
Call of Duty: United Offensive
Call of Duty 2
Commandos 2
Commandos 3
Company of Heroes (it used Quazal for Relic Online, not GameSpy)
Hexen (this was the original Doom engine and didn't even have internet play)
Hexen 2
Jagged Alliance (single-player DOS game!)
Quake 2
Quake 3
Quake 4
Soldier of Fortune
Soldier of Fortune 2
SWAT 2
SWAT 3
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (used Ubi.com)

 

These games from that list are already playable on GameRanger (and hence will be unaffected):
Aliens vs Predator Classic / Gold
Aliens vs Predator 2
Battlefield 1942
Borderlands
Star Wars: Battlefront
Star Wars: Battlefront II
Call of Juarez
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
Civilization III
Civilization IV
Commandos 2
Commandos 3
Company of Heroes (up to 1.7)
Medieval: Total War
Medieval II: Total War
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
Quake II
Quake III Arena
Quake 4
Stronghold HD
Stronghold Crusader HD
SWAT 4
Titan Quest
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War: Soulstorm
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War: Winter Assault

 

These games from that list I have investigated and can be added to GameRanger in future:
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2142
Battlefield Vietnam
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty
Far Cry
Halo: Combat Evolved
Hexen 2
Medal of Honor: Pacific
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
Postal 2
Shogun Total War
Soldier of Fortune
Soldier of Fortune 2
SWAT 3
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Gold
Unreal 2
Stronghold 2
Stronghold Legends

 

These games I haven't looked at in depth, but should be possible to add to GameRanger eventually:
Arma
Arma: Cold Assault
Arma 2
Arma 2: Free
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Crysis
Crysis Warhead
Crysis Wars
Take on Helicopters
Tom Clancy's HAWX
Two Worlds
Two Worlds 2

Tak, tak, ja już powoli zaczynam kombinować z LAN odnośnie Borderlandsa1, bo Borderlands2 działa na Steamie :P

 

GameRanger  sprawdzę, tylko stracę wielu kolegów z rozgrywek w Game Spy :(

 

Dzięki za wskazówkę.
