Let me set the picture. I have a HK PS3, with a HK version of Fall of Man, based in the UK with a UK PSM login.

My friend has a UK PS3, Fall of Man and PSN account.

The problem was that when we go online we cannot see each other as if we are connected to different servers, either because of the game or the PS3.

I think this is stupid and defeats the object of online gaming if you cannot play people through out the world is something just lets you see games from the region of the game itself or theconsole.

Now I have had myhissy fit, has anyone else noticed this on thisor any other games?

Thanks

You are on different servers. It's not the game, as If you look at your R:FOM box there isn't a region code. It's a global disc. The game doesn't support worldwide play yet, something they're working on releasing shortly.

And by "It's not the game" I meant the disc. It is, however, Insomniac's fault for not allowing you to play with your friends, but like I said, they're working on a new update to allow you to do just that.
