PS3 FW 2.80 To Be Announced Very Soon

TheGamerAccess.com was just browsing SCEA's Press information website when they noticed something very strange. While looking at the contents, I saw "PS3 Debug Firmware Update 2.80". Looks like PS3 FW 2.80 could be announced any moment now!

Let it be something useful. Last firmwares have been worthless. Upgrade/stabilize the browser... IN GAME VOICE CHAT.

Thats all I want and need at this point. The rest is just icing.

Mr_Bun5431d ago

I can see the video walkthrough now...

LiquifiedArt5431d ago (Edited 5431d ago )

(hope i got the name right)

Firmware 2.8 won't be much of anything special, hence you haven't heard anything about it, but X-Game voice chat was going to be a main feature for firmware 3.0 (coming later in the year).

So i wouldn't get too hyped up over 2.8.

On a sidenote: I like to bathe in mustard.

Mr_Bun5431d ago

I'm sure you're right, but I hope you aren't

whoelse5431d ago

I don't want to see any "OMG Sony WTH where is cross-game invites?" or "where's in-game voice chat?" if they are not included in the firmware. Sony knows that you want it, so be patient. And remember, Sony is a business not charity.

heyheyhey5431d ago

Super Secret says it's nothing major, nothing to be too excited over

he also says that FM 3.00 will have ingame voice chat, so we shall have to wait a bit longer

gintoki7775431d ago

super-secret might be right then 0.0 so he must know what hes talking about because he knew this before anyone

callahan095431d ago

I think in-game XMB was a bigger step than cross-game voice chat or private voice messages, and the in-game XMB came with FW 2.40, so why couldn't the other voice features come in 2.80?

LordMarius5431d ago

So then the PS3 slim is real

Pennywise5431d ago

whoelse, If you dont want to hear it. Dont listen. Gamers want it so they gave us text chat. Next time I want a kiss I want my girl to kick me in the teeth and let me know I got mouth contact.

Sony needs to release xgame chat. I dont want to hear gamers defending them. If they have time to make a stupid photo gallery program, they have time for xgame chat.

Lifendz5431d ago

I'd like the ability to use a custom avatar.

NegativeCreepWA5431d ago

I'm not getting my hopes up this time.

whoelse5431d ago

I'm not saying people shouldn't ask for these features but Sony knows how much people want them.

People screaming about the lack of features that they wanted after every update gets in the way of constructive feedback.

Myst5431d ago

I agree with Lifendz I want a Custom avatar to :(

Xbox Avatars Shoe5431d ago (Edited 5431d ago )

I only used that dumb photo gallery once and never again cus it's too slow compared to just flipping through pics at the XMB. Text Chat was meh; I don't like pausing a game to type a few words only to get them bleeped out. It bleeps the stupidest things! Examples:

"notifi" - WTF?

"lolo" - again WTF?

"sunglass" and "glass" - LOL

And if you type a few numbers in a row like 838464 it blocks them all out.

The worst part about disappointing FW, is that you know it's gonna be a long time to the next (probably disappointing) FW is released.

I'm only harsh on Sony cus I love them.

Edit: FW 2.8 OFFICIALLY announced (and disappointing): http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

Wait... remember that guy who posted on the forums saying FW 2.8 would be coming this week?

doctorstrange5431d ago

He said it would come on Wednesday, I wonder...

MainEv3nt 695431d ago

@PirateThom he said it was coming tomorrow and if it does i guess that means hes right about PS Cloud

Super_Secret5431d ago

Different guy you're thinking, I'm afraid ;)

interrergator5431d ago

Muggles5431d ago

This game deserves a remaster for current consoles. It was awesome on PS3.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv722d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii3d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast2d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM2d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife2d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit2d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife2d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
