New firmware next week then?

LordMarius5234d ago

yeah
I am not expert on how hacking works, yet...
but wouldn't an update reverse this

plus this is bad for all of us since everyone knows new firmware = bricked consoles /s?

PirateThom5234d ago (Edited 5234d ago )

I'm no expert either, but I know the reason the PS3 has been unscathed, thus far, is because of the multi-layer security system:

If he only has lvl 1 access... that means he has read/write access... but the Linux and Game OS are lvl 2/3... so there's really not much at lvl 1 from a homebrew or piracy point of view.

"hacked" is a bit of a stretch, "exploited" would be closer.

Or maybe I'm wrong, I don't think I am though.

rroded5234d ago

or STFU

seriously so many omg i haked the ps3 out since launch n yet to see a ps3 game on any torrent site.

"but wouldn't an update reverse this"

FTA:"The theory isn't really patchable, but they (Sony)can make implementations much harder."

If this leads to anything worth getting, Sony can expect a huge sales spike. Crossing my fingers for something like xbmc (the irony).

meh doesn't mean anything, here comes new firmware and its bye bye. PS3 is not PSP

Elven65233d ago

To patch the exploit Sony or any company for that matter would need to know where it is. I'm sure they might already be looking for it just to be on the safe side.

Dellis5234d ago (Edited 5234d ago )

lol at Piratethom being one of the first, dude it will never ever

be hacked, PS3 is the only console that will never be hacked, quit the

dream and get ready to play 59.99 for years to come.

Wolfenstein: The New Order Is The Last Of Its Kind

Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.

It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.

I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces

hiawa2312h ago(Edited 12h ago)

All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.

ChasterMies12h ago

I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.

Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.

Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more

DustMan6h ago

The games you mentioned are not from AAA developers. Wolfenstein likely had a budget that was probably as big as all those games you mentioned combined. I'm not knocking the new wave of retro shooters. I absolutely love them (I think some get much higher review scores than they deserve though). I just really wouldn't describe Wolfenstein as purely a boomer shooter based on the relatively cohesive story, with cut scenes and is fully voice acted. Full set piece moments.

AA development seems to be focused keeping the single player solo experience alive. But the big developers are only concerned about the MTX and milking players who enjoy multiplayer.

Abear2111h ago

Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.

Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?

DefenderOfDoom211h ago

What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
