Calling All Cars Multiplayer Servers Closing Down
One of the downsides of online-enabled games with dedicated servers is that, almost invariably, those servers that handle multiplayer will someday disappear. It’s happening with Chromehounds early next year; it happened with Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence back in 2007; and it’s happening again with Calling All Cars.
PlayStation downloadable games blog PSN Stores caught wind of the news this morning. “On January 14, 2010 the servers for Calling All Cars will be taken off-line. We would like to thank ya for yar support,” reads an in-game announcement.
While this kind of thing is hardly uncommon, it’s still a bummer that the people who supported Calling All Cars won’t be able to play online together anymore. On the other hand, this might be the sort of game that’s better off when it’s experienced on a single screen with a couch full of your closest buddies. Either way, if you’re feeling the need to revisit this PSN classic, you’d better get it out of your system before January 14.
