The Lillster Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Obviously this will benefit pirates but having the ability to store your games to the HDD means faster load times, which is good for legitimate customers too.
Aimless Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Shaving a couple of seconds off load times at the cost of mass piracy doesn't seem like a particularly even deal to me.
Dante Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) NextGen Boards After examining the PSJailBreak Manager .PKG File below, RichDevX determined that it was hardcoded not to boot on Test consoles, and he has now made available a patch for PS3 Debug users who can decrypt the selfs to run PS3 game back-ups with it! EuroGamer Boards Someone has effectively sold Sony down the river. There will be implications for developers. They will be asked to re-register and the keys will be changed. There will be a patch that modifies the PS3's boot sequence. No functionality should be lost, but it will be an ongoing battle. Sony will also include code on retail discs that requires the new FW for them to run. They'll easilly have that sorted by the time GT5 releases. Hmm just after Sony started making money on PS3 after losing all the money earn from PS2 sales. Edited August 20, 2010 by Dante
The Lillster Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Shaving a couple of seconds off load times at the cost of mass piracy doesn't seem like a particularly even deal to me. It is a good deal when it enables region free gaming on PS1 and PS2 games. Also, it will probably allow region free DVD and Bluray movies too (hopefully). If this unlocks region free bluray and dvd's, I might have to buy a second ps3. One as my main console, the other as a media centre. Update So I was playing MW2 earlier and the game freezes, I turn the console back on and guess what... YLOD. My PS3 is fucked yet again. This is the third time this has happened! Looks like i'm getting a xbox, Sony can fuck off if they think I am paying God know's how much to get a refurbished one and then have it break, eight months down the line. Edited August 20, 2010 by The Lillster To express my anger
The Lillster Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Its using stolen Sony code and counterfeit Sony hardware. So its wholly illegal unlike a hack. You will be dealing with the Police before Sony in this scenario so places already not selling it. All it allows is to run unsigned code. It wont allow other OS , region free or anything like that. Its purely a way to run stuff without security checks. So not much use till some people develop apps for it. But they need a Sony SDK. Which is also illegal for this. So good luck getting apps from pirates. Its nothing like the Team Twizzers, Geohot or Dark Alex's work which were legit hacks. This seems like cash and grab scenario by some quite dodgy types. Opens the door to a new level of piracy on the consoles. Normally i would say ring up and see. Ussualy the second PS3 is free. But in your case its good news if you just forget it. Also dont you already have afew xbox? You seem to just poke your head in PS3 topics and just say any good game is meh in a vague manner then run away. I think its a good thing for you find all the games are bad on PS3. I've never owned an Xbox in my life, the only reason I am contemplating on buying one, is because my friends keep nagging me to get one. Which PS3 game(s) did I say were bad? You must have dreamt it, everyone knows PS3 games are free from and immune to ridicule.
dwarf Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 I'm trying to think of an inventive way of dismissing you with a 'no' If you realised there was a good game on the 360, would you have brought one by now?
Dog-amoto Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 I know this may seem like a bit of a daft question, but is there any way to organise the Playstation Store so that it shows all the demos available in one place? I go on it at the moment, and it allows me to browse by genre, or by system (PS3, PSP, PSOne) some games have demos, others don't. But I can't find the option that lets you browse through all the available demos. I only found out that Uncharted 2 had a demo today, even though it's been out ages. If I browse by the action genre, I see Uncharted 1 which has a demo showing from the first "button" as it were, but Uncharted 2 shows some DLC as the first "button" The demo is hidden away. Hope this makes sense!
Wesley Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 What! I didn't know there was a Uncharted 2 demo! Gr... *switches on Playstation*
Dog-amoto Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 What! I didn't know there was a Uncharted 2 demo! Gr... *switches on Playstation* This proves my point then!
Wesley Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 The Playstation store to be is really not that great... To be honest I don't enjoy the whole cross media bar in general... it's so slow and for some reason I have to pause for it to load up all the icons? Why can't they just be there?!
Dog-amoto Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Did you find the demo then? I've found loads of demos now that I know that you have to look a little deeper for them. Getting the inFAMOUS one now
Wesley Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Aye it's downloading now. I also saw that on the main menu if you hit up PS3 Games A-Z, second option on the new block menu is PS3 Demos AZ. Which is what we were after I guess!
Dog-amoto Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Aha! Thank you! Why does everything have to be so complicated!!??!!
Emasher Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 In the North American store there's actually a demo tab on the main page. I'm surprised the UK one doesn't have this.
Ganepark32 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 We have been posting here for years. Dont try it. Could be i mixed you up for Ganepark or something... edit: yep The only PS3 I've outright called bad was Killzone 2 at the time of playing. Looking back on it now, it wasn't as bad as I thought but it still was nowhere near worthy of the undying praise you heaped upon it. And in general, I tend to stay away from PS3 related topics cause god knows any slight flaw that is mentioned will get you lynched by the likes of yourself.
Wesley Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Oh man, don't remind me how shit Killzone 2 was. To be fair, I only played the demo. But Jesus Christ that thing was shitty...
Ganepark32 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 The single player wasn't great. Multiplayer was good looking back on it. Wasn't a fan of the map design though. Hopefully that gets fixed in the third one. But really, I don't get time to play my PS3 much so I've missed out on loads of first party titles. I would love to be able to get some time to play the games I've missed (been interested in Infamous and GoW3 amongst others for some time now) but instead I have to sit around and review shovelware for the Wii and DS. Ah the joy.
drahkon Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I've just bought Scott Pilgrim. Gonna play it soon. Anybody played one of the Gundemonium games? They all look very interesting. I want a bullet hell game but don't know whether they are worth buying. X-Söldner 1 and 2 I already have.
The Lillster Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I've just bought Scott Pilgrim. Gonna play it soon. Anybody played one of the Gundemonium games? They all look very interesting. I want a bullet hell game but don't know whether they are worth buying. X-Söldner 1 and 2 I already have. I've bought a bullet hell game on the Wii called Castle of Shikigami iii. I want a HD Bullet Hell game, I suppose Super Stardust HD on Endless mode, could be classified as bullet hell. Are there even any bullet hell games on PS3? Browse by Games A-Z you'll have a demo section too. You didnt like Uncharted, LBP or anything remotely exclusive. Easy to ignore everything you say. Who cares if he doesn't like the games you just listed. I don't understand how something so trivial, bothers you so much?
Wesley Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Meh... the fact that he explained where the demo section was, when me and the dog(amoto) already found it, shows that he doesn't actually read stuff. Or that he reiterates things so they can be fact in his world.
drahkon Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I want a HD Bullet Hell game, I suppose Super Stardust HD on Endless mode, could be classified as bullet hell. Already have Super Stardust HD but for me this isn't really a bullet hell game. I want something like And I want it on the PS3. Maybe I should get into Söldner X1 and X2. Haven't even started playing the second one...
Ganepark32 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Browse by Games A-Z you'll have a demo section too. You didnt like Uncharted, LBP or anything remotely exclusive. Easy to ignore everything you say. Ok, firstly, I've just recently finished Uncharted 2 for the second time (Haven't played the first one). Was my game of the year for 2009 and is an incredible game. I've never said I didn't like it, I don't think I've even passed judgment on it on these forums (and if I have I can guarantee that the words I used were positive(top of page 18 in the Uncharted 2 thread incidentally)) so where you're getting that from I have no idea. Secondly, I only bought LBP earlier this year when I wasn't around on these forums and haven't posted a single thing about it since I've come back. If you want to hear my thoughts on it, it's great. But I have never said I didn't like Uncharted or LBP. As I said, the only PS3 game that I've expressed any form of dislike for is Killzone 2. Other than those, and the first Motorstorm and ModNation Racers, I haven't played any other PS3 exclusive games (the rest that I've played have all been third party games which I've also enjoyed) so you're "information" is falsified. Before you smack talk about someone, make sure you have the facts right as you clearly haven't in this case. Edited August 21, 2010 by Ganepark32
canand Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 What should I get Start the Party or Sports Champions I onley can afford 1 becuse I am saveing up for the Nintendo 3DS.
The Lillster Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Already have Super Stardust HD but for me this isn't really a bullet hell game. I want something like And I want it on the PS3. Maybe I should get into Söldner X1 and X2. Haven't even started playing the second one... I had a look at that Soldner game, it looks pretty good. I prefer vertical shooters though.
