Consumers getting nerfed hackers getting buffed.

Cevapi885723d ago

umm did people forget that you need to be online to make Remote Play work...the two systems need to connect to one another....so idk how this will work when sony will see that your ps3 has been tampered with when you connect to the PSN

T9X695723d ago (Edited 5723d ago )

It has nothing to do with "tampering" with the PS3, its all software related.

No you don't, if you read the article it tells you that you connect them through FTP servers, and you edit the PARAM.SFO file to enable Remote Play while being offline. It doesn't say anything about having an older firmware update, so as long as you don't sign in to PSN, even with the current firmware, it will still work.

Cevapi885723d ago (Edited 5723d ago )

you still need to be online...and there is no way of getting around a FW update when you try and connect to PSN

edit:

i see...i thought you had to be online for all of this to work while reading the article....bubbles for you...thanks for the info

Weaksauce11385723d ago

Yay for hackers enabling a feature Sony abandonded. Seriously every PSN game should allow remoteplay unless it requires 2 analog sticks. PixelJunk is the only company I know that actually uses this great feature religiously!

Apocwhen5723d ago

Do pixeljunk allow it for Pixeljunk Shooter?
I thought I tried Remote play with it at one time but it wasn't supported. Would be great if it is.

duplissi5722d ago

if you are on your own network you DO NOT need to be online (i do it all the time), but obviously if want to remote play away from your home network then yeah you need to be online... really guys, do some research before you assert shit as facts.

nveenio5722d ago

The feature is obviously there and functional. If there's a PSP2 with dual analog sticks, then I'm sure RemotePlay will start to see more love.

GodsHand5722d ago

Negative, you dont have to be online to use remote play. I use it to play certain games such as High Stakes Poker, or pixel junk Monsters, using remote play. The only thing you need to do is register the device to one another, and make sure you have wifi enable on the PSP, and PS3.

The only time you need to be online, is if you are trying to access the PS3 from another location, that your wifi on the PS3 does not have the range to transmit the signal.

so it is true...thanks for the vid

tretle5723d ago

I know, It makes me wonder why it wasn't enabled by Sony in the first place.

zeeshan5723d ago

You know that is the first thing that came to my mind as well! It could be such a sweetttt features!

BISHOP-BRASIL5723d ago

Quickly! Someone start a conspiracy of how Sony want you to buy to versions of the same game, one for PS3, other for PSP! /S

Just like custom soundtrack, the deature IS THERE. It's up to devs to use. Most ignore it simply because PS3 controller scheme isn't compatible to PSP controller scheme. There is ways to adapt to PSP controls and connectivity rightly, but again, most devs avoid the hassle. Also, as the PSP is limited to stream what PS3 is processing to it's scream (cloud gaming) and have to send the imput back, it's usually a laggy experience, so, again, not worthy it.

Obviously, some devs that put out really similar games on consoles and handhelds, also want you to buy both versions, but most games don't even spam versions to both PS3 and PSP, so most wouldn't even be able to profit from it.

ON TOPIC:
I love how this hackers only cared to develop backup manager (a piracy app) to start selling USB Jailbreaks, but when they got blocked they all of a sudden want to show people how many marvellous things they could of have done with PS3 homebrew, with features Sony supposedly locked... PS2 BC, PSP full remote play, etc...

It's always the same shit, when GeoHot was about to hack PS3 through OtherOS, everyone just talked about getting free games, how GeoHot could install custom FW modified from original PS3 FW that avoided security measures... But when Sony took alway the OtherOS feature people complained that it could have raised a homebrew scene (despite the fact that OtherOS was already a homebrew enabled platform for PS3 hardware, like if you install any linux PPC distro and develop apps to run on PS3, you could even develop your own PPC OS).

This kids should man up and cut the lame excuses, all the smartpants care about is free games. They never wanted homebrew (OtherOS was completelly ignored by homebrew community), PS2 BC (they already have a PS2 with a modchip and a bucket full of pirated games) nor PSP full remote play (cause after PSP, SNES, NES, Genesis and PS1roms that was the one thing they couldn't piratemulate on Pandora'ed PSPs - streamed pirated PS3 games).

TotalPS3Fanboy5723d ago

"I know, It makes me wonder why it wasn't enabled by Sony in the first place."

Because it doesn't work all games and Sony doesn't want people bad mouthing about how much Remote Play sucks because out of all the games, 5 games doesn't work.

tretle5723d ago

So fix the five games. I doubt that's the reason though.

I would assume its because of the lack of second analog stick on the psp.
Or maybe as bishop-br pointed out, they want to sell you the same game twice. I wouldn't classify it as a conspiracy theory if you have some idea of the mentality behind corporations.

TotalPS3Fanboy5723d ago (Edited 5723d ago )

because it's up to the developers and the developers are not willing to put the time in and patch it.

That and the 2nd analog stick problem.

Mr_Bun5722d ago

Most games don't work as it is...How would enabling all but "5" make things worse?

badz1495722d ago

that's the biggest problem! and OMG, my PSP doesn't have 2nd analog stick!! most games use that nowadays and do you think it's worth it for dev to sacrifice some buttons so you can play their games on PSP? think again!

AuToFiRE5723d ago

we will see a lot of interesting and creative hacks from this, im sure sony will hire a few people to come up wiht the programs for the unhacked ps3s

tretle5723d ago

If you look at it from the games developers perspective this has very little to do with programming and more to do with enabling a feature in a config file.
Game developers seamed to have had the ability to enable this all along and they chose to ignore it. Its a pity.

tretle5723d ago

#1 - The hack has not been out long enough for developers to start pumping out stuff. So your comment about the hacking community is insincere as you are judging everybody for homebrew(backup manager) which the original creators of psjailbreak wrote.
#2 Its not features that could have been done, its features which have/are being done.
#3 OtherOS was not ignored, it ran on a hypervisor without full access to the hardware(rsx graphics) and was crippled performance wise. The hacker community worked on getting software rendering in gallium3d on linux and also ported other distributions as originally it was just yellow dog linux which was supported. Your statement is completely wrong.

xg-ei8ht5723d ago

Don't update whatever you do.

Thehammer is coming down, 2 friends have been banned not only on PSN, but for total online. It's been shut down.

Weaksauce11385723d ago

Ahh anecdotal internet evidence, how i love thee. I have 2 friends who have not only been banned from PSN, but from Earth itself. They game offline now, in a low circulating orbit.

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.

solideagle12d 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

Relientk7712d ago

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.

DarXyde19d 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.

Soy20d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12519d ago (Edited 19d ago )

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.

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

Cacabunga21d ago

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

S2Killinit20d ago (Edited 20d 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.

neutralgamer199220d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga20d 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

1nsomniac20d ago (Edited 20d 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.

medman20d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger20d 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_Box21d 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.

robtion20d 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.

darthv7221d 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.

Agent7520d ago

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

S2Killinit20d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14921d ago

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

Lightning7721d 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.
