Rumor: Dark Alex working his magic on PS3?

The official site of Dark Alex now has PS3 section logo under the familiar PSP section logo. Many are now hoping that we could one day see a custom firmware on the PS3.

Seriously, Sony needs this guy on the pay role. I even go as far as to say we'd probably have in-game XMB and such with this guy at the helm.

(that might be an exaggeration but I'm a big admirer of his work)

Fishy Fingers6592d ago (Edited 6592d ago )

Addition: Official Dark AleX site has been updated. Now has a full size PS3 banner just below the familiar PSP banner.

hmmm....? It's rumour but that would indicate to me there is a distinct possibility of this being true :)

BTW: Id just like to add, Dark AleX offers much more than just being able to play pirate games, much, much more...

True.. and perhaps a sign the psp has bored him by now? This guy deserves some kind of cash deal - maybe a conspiracy by sony to drive extra interest in their consoles, and get some underground help to add stuff.

heyheyhey6592d ago

that's an excellent idea

although once he'd arrive at HQ, Sony would probably have a few "friendly greeting buddies" waiting for him to have a chat about the pirate games

uie4rhig6592d ago

lol i wouldn't be surprised if D_A came with ingame XMB before sony does :P

Well, it's nice and everything. But this is a Ps3 (a tank) it won't be as easy as the Psp was. But hey, good luck bro. I hope you are the one that finally do it, and see your name again between Sony Most Wanted Hackers. ^^

heyheyhey6592d ago

well i'd certainly like to see what he can cook up

he certainly has a challenge on his hands, this isn't a pushover like the PSP

Pornlord6592d ago

I missed the boat and my work won't let me access this guys site to find out, what does he do??? Sorry again for my ignorance :(

Expy6592d ago

Custom Firmware for the PSP.

Used to release them as DAX, now works under M33.

Expy6592d ago

Sony doesn't need this guy under payroll until he can figure out how to hack the PS3.

Fishy Fingers6592d ago (Edited 6592d ago )

If he was on the payroll he wont have to figure it out would he. It would be completely open to him.

Or do you mean to buy him up just before he releases the first CFW, to stop another PSP from being born?

I may have confused myself some what o_0

Expy6592d ago

Until he can find an exploit worth hacking into, Sony doesn't need to worry about him. PSP's already a lost cause since the exploit's been found and can never be covered up for good.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle31d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde38d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy38d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7739d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga39d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199239d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga39d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman39d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger39d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box39d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion38d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7239d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7539d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit39d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14939d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7739d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
