According to reports, hackers by the name of Team ICE and SorroW have released an 'overflow.tiff exploit which is confirmed working on both PAL and NTSC PS3's running firmware up to v2.10. The TIFF file freezes the PS3 via a heap overflow and is being released so other hacking teams can figure out how to make something more useful from it.
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.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
With these hidden gems to add to your backlog, it’s time to give some bangers the shine they deserve.
Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.
The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.
Why are they doing this in the first place? Sony gave people the option of Linux for homebrew. It's not like it's the PSP. The only thing they could be wanting from this is piracy (which is hardly viable with Blu-Ray anyway).
That's usually how it starts, those damn tiffs!!
This is extremely old. They put it on a memory stick load up the .tiff and load the game.
Have fun downloading 16 - 50 gigabytes worth of movies and games each.
In case you didn't know, a majority of Blu-Ray movies are in between 40 to 50 gigabytes worth of data. There's proof out there, but I don't have the link on my laptop.
Games? Sure, the first ones were 4-8, maybe a couple were 9 to 14, Resistance and Motorstorm both had padding files, 16 to 17 gigabytes.
I'd love to see the new PS3 games being minimum 25 gigs, and capping at 50.
I know I already don't have the patience to wait for a 4.7 gigabyte file, let alone have the storage space to hold more than 2 or 3 games at their full capacity. If it works via ISO loader, find me either a 50 gigabyte USB drive, or you'll have to be burning blu-rays.
The cost of an external 500 gigabyte - 1 terabyte hard drive, or a blu-ray burner plus writable blu-ray disks has to be taken into account.
No matter which way you slice it, PS3 makes piracy not impossible, no, piracy will happen, but it just makes it SO inconvenient that only the most determined people will go through with it. It's just cheaper timewise and requires less effort to just buy the games used for 30 bucks off ebay if you need to save so desperately. I bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma for 21.99 off ebay. Go me!
Ahh good old heap overflow... Crashed many a computers while learning C with that error.
