PS3 Exploit developments

The old hardware attack on the ps3 otheros has a new twist or two. Which apparently is less ugly and possibly easier to add to your ps3 than the first one.

dizzleK5119d ago

why is this shit on n4g? send it to news 4 pirates.

Conloles5119d ago

And yet no one complains about other articles which have no relevance to gaming whatsoever....

ReBurn5118d ago

Yeah they do. All the time.

Independent_Charles5118d ago (Edited 5118d ago )

i think the mods are listening and iv seen a lot less rubbsih articles. hay remember the 'ps3 budled with holy bible' article.
http://n4g.com/news/318291/...
that was just well n4g at its best/worst.i had a good laugh. ever since the update this is the 1st bullsh*t article iv seen i think.

Baka-akaB5119d ago (Edited 5119d ago )

other articles dont teach you about illegal things so he has a point

SuperStrokey11235118d ago

Its not illegal to mod a console where i live. It is illegal to use pirated games though as it should be.

Kushan5119d ago

Except there's nothing illegal in this article. "Hacking" is not illegal, you can do whatever you want with the hardware you bought. Plus, you still can't pirate anything on the PS3, so why get upset?

nveenio5118d ago

That's true, to a certain extent. You can't modify something with the intent of defrauding someone else. For instance, you can smash a penny and turn it into a collectible item by running it through one of those kiosks for tourists that you see sometimes. Why can you do this? Isn't it illegal to deface US currency? Only if you're doing it for fraudulent purposes.

Regular electronics work the same way. Sure, you can modify your own purchase. Nothing wrong with that. But, if you're doing it in order to defraud someone else (for instance, modding your iPhone, PSP or Xbox 360 in order to pirate games), then it's illegal.

Come on, people, this is common law...you should have learned this in college. Things aren't legal or illegal just based on what you think it should be. Use your brains.

IdleLeeSiuLung5118d ago

It's kind of like reporting on a bank robbery and details how the robbery happened. You are telling somebody else how to do something illegal (although this isn't necessarily illegal), yet it is fine.

That is because this is news and way more interesting than why x platform sucks and y platform is superior.

wissam5119d ago

Yes why is this even here.

Meryl5119d ago

yawn let me know when they finally enable backed up games to be played (ps3 ones)

XXXCouture5119d ago

youre gonna have to wait a long time pal

nveenio5118d ago

"Backed Up Games"? We all know what you mean, and it's morons like you that make us lose things like OtherOS.

sikbeta5118d ago

I'll let you know, doesn't matter if they finally "[enable] backed up games" like in 2016, right?

O-T

That's why All Of Us Will Never see the OtherOS Feature implemented again, EVER!

KilZoneGeneralStrife5119d ago

just look at Geohot too.I mean,sure guys,you're great with software ,hardware etc.we get it. you got it all figured out.maybe you should try the opposite sex now.Im pretty sure you wont have so much free time on your hands to experiment in your lair/parents basement. just saying

nveenio5118d ago

The only thing better than time on your hands is a great pair of tits.

THC CELL5119d ago

MaximusPrime5118d ago

How Valve has treated Team Fortress 2 is a disgrace, and its community deserves better

17 years on from release and 5 years into a botting epidemic, Team Fortress 2 is on its knees, and it's high time Valve stepped in to fix it.

Forget Elder Scrolls 6, Skyrim Can Easily Be Made Into A Next-Gen Game

ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."

That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game

mastershredder1d 8h ago

"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.

CrimsonWing6922h ago

Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…

Popsicle15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Yes please. Did pretty much everything there was to do in this game. Took a very long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorites, but I would prefer a new experience.

anast19h ago

They might as well. So far, it looks like ES6 will be mostly developed by AI.

Smellsforfree15h ago

I don't want a next-gen version of a game I've already played to death. Skyrim was a great game, but I'm over it.

The Status of Every PlayStation Franchise

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

A 20+ minute video? Just include the written list in the article.

DarXyde1d 19h ago

Status in one word:

Underutilized.

The end.

anast1d 19h ago

Which ones should they utilize more?

BehindTheRows1d 18h ago

Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.

I_am_Batman1d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.

anast1d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.

Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.

Abear211d 17h ago

Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.

Lightning771d 14h ago

Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.

Chocoburger1d 13h ago

Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
