Daft Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Uuuuurm....old news. Aimless is right, though. MW was a mess before all this hacking. Id be shocked if the hacking was this widespread at the moment, too.
The Lillster Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I've had a load of games tonight and yesterday and I didn't notice any cheating going on. Regarding MW2 being hacked; apparently this kind of shit has being going on for ages (minus the credit card hacking) and that article Matt posted is being used as a scapegoat. I only play MW2 casually, so I don't really notice anything serious or out-of-the-ordinary. Cheating has been going on for ages via hacked save files. Edited January 18, 2011 by The Lillster
Shorty Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Regarding MW2 being hacked; apparently this kind of shit has being going on for ages (minus the credit card hacking) and that article Matt posted is being used as a scapegoat. I only play MW2 casually, so I don't really notice anything serious or out-of-the-ordinary. Cheating has been going on for ages via hacked save files. It's not really about cheating. MW2 is P2P (like most online console games these days), right? So when you start a game, everyone's game is hosted on one person's system (the person with the best internet connection/ping). So if that person happens to have a hacked PS3, they can potentially just do whatever they want with anyone who's playing on their server. Even if you were a casual player, I think you would notice if someone took away all your levels, XP and weapons for a laugh. Even more so if they took your personal details, and it wouldn't be hard. It's such bullshit. No matter what people try and pretend these exploits are for, they'll always be used by immoral morons. Releasing that root key was just like the last thing geohot did for the iPhone, a clamour for the internet glory. A massive ego boost and hugely irresponsible.
Daft Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Portal 2 PS3, Steam cross-platform play The PlayStation 3 version of Valve's upcoming first-person puzzler Portal 2 features cross-platform play and chat with the Steam PC and Mac versions. It also boasts persistent cloud-based storage of game saves. Additionally, the PS3 version unlocks the Steam Play version free of charge when gamers link their PlayStation Network and Steam accounts. "We made a promise to gamers at E3 that Portal 2 for the PS3 would be the best console version of the product," said Valve boss Gabe Newell. "Working together with Sony we have identified a set of features we believe are very compelling to gamers. We hope to expand upon the foundation being laid in Portal 2 with more Steam features and functionality in DLC and future content releases." Portal 2 project lead Josh Weier added: "We designed the Portal 2 PS3 experience to be very straightforward for gamers. "PS3 gamers will be able to simply drop the Blu-ray disc in the PS3, link to their Steam account from inside the game, and all their Steam friends (on PC and Mac) will be visible and accessible for chat and game invites." Christian Donlan went hands-on with Portal 2 for Eurogamer in June last year. "Not only has the developer managed to make Euclid-busting geometrical challenges seem breezy and moreish," he wrote, "it realises that the best puzzle games are the ones that are balanced so sweetly in terms of mechanics and difficulty that, ultimately, they make their players feel smart too." http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-01-18-portal-2-ps3-steam-cross-platform-play With a new computer on the way (yeah, I'm not going to stop going on about it) I was torn between the PS3 and the PC version. That isn't a problem any more! This is absolutely awesome. More Steam games on PS3 please.
The Lillster Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 That sounds awesome, more games should be cross platform. Which Sony talked about last generation.
Emasher Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Now if only more valve games got the steam play treatment with the PS3.
flameboy Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Now if only more valve games got the steam play treatment with the PS3. yeah the possibilities are endless very exciting news... in other news got this from morrisons £10: figured its a way to get a cheap playstation eye! Even though if I was to get Move seperately now it would still end up being the same price as the starter pad but I've got eyepet out of it too I guess....
flameboy Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Sweet, Eye Pet! just wait till I start posted pics of the adorable little critter!
Retro_Link Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Somewhat appropriate for the thread... Samsung 50'' HD Ready Plasma 3D TV, £699 @Currys.
Eddage Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Somewhat appropriate for the thread... Samsung 50'' HD Ready Plasma 3D TV, £699 @Currys. It's only 720p though, otherwise it would be a fantastic bargain. Anyone know the cheapest full HD one you can get is?
flameboy Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I got a full HD toshiba for £499 (i think thats how much it was)
Caris Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I saw a 32" JVC 1080p for £299 in Comet over Christmas.
Caris Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Oh, no idea then! Are you sure that Sammy isn't 1080p? I would be very surprised if it isn't.
Eddage Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Resolution (horizontal x vertical - in pixels): 1365 x 768 Pixel (HD) Doesn't look like it.
Retro_Link Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Yeah no it's 720, the 1080 is £849... which coincidentally looks to be the cheapest 1080p 3D TV around. I think it might me on Play for a bit cheaper.
Caris Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I'm suprised they even bothered making a 720p 3D TV, I thought it might have been a typo.
Cookyman Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Great idea - hope this is true! PS3 getting cloud saving in firmware update 3.60 According to a recent report from Kotaku, unnamed sources in the game development community have received notifications from Sony telling of a feature which will be incorporated into PS3 firmware update 3.60: Cloud storage for saved games. According to the report, the feature (called "Online Saving") gives developers the opportunity to let players set up their save files on a remote server, preserving the precious, precious space on their own hard drives, and allowing players to access save data from multiple consoles. These developers also reportedly explained that the feature will only be made available to PlayStation Plus subscribers, or, as they'll henceforth be called, the "Save File Insured." This report sounds fairly believable -- remote storage was one of the rumored features of PlayStation Plus before its reveal, and there was also that Sony trademark for "PS Cloud" back in 2009. We've contacted Sony for a comment on this report.
flameboy Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Great idea - hope this is true! I think its coming didn't expect quite so soon but great news...although will it be available for all or just Plus subscribers?!
LegoMan1031 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I think its coming didn't expect quite so soon but great news...although will it be available for all or just Plus subscribers?! Probably just plus, it would be a good way to try and get more ppl to pay for the upgraded 'membership', another premuim feature etc.
flameboy Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Probably just plus, it would be a good way to try and get more ppl to pay for the upgraded 'membership', another premuim feature etc. To be honest I would probably pay for it
LegoMan1031 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 To be honest I would probably pay for it Thats the point, lol.
