Now with new and improved hacker douchebag detector.

cakeisalie5583d ago

This is the reason i dont game on console too much control from the maker. They wont win the war anyways, it will be another PSP, hackers will always find a way to crack it.

Ranshak5583d ago (Edited 5583d ago )

Its like when devs put DRM on a game, Genuine buyers suffer while pirates enjoy the game.

Genuine buyers have to suffer with update after update, some of these updates even mess up certain systems until a fix is released.

@below

Windows updates are not annoying by anymeans, People can update whenever they choose too, its not like you cant play online if you dont update. Lol you can even leave an update to download while you are playing a game or surfing the web, once its done the updates will install when you are shutting the system down.

just_looken5583d ago (Edited 5583d ago )

hackers never did hack the ps3 if they didn't have dev kits/keys they would still be trying to figure out the ps3.

at Ranshak you should not use a windows os if you dislike updates just use 360 1 update a year hackers sense 2007.

darthv725583d ago (Edited 5583d ago )

to blow the hackers away lol.

yeah, that was lame.

pompeymassive5582d ago

But surely its a good thing that Sony are trying to stop the hackers!! I mean my friend was playing on MW2 the other day and said there was lasers coming down from the sky, people running through walls, all sorts of weird shit happening!! Whats the point in playing a game that isnt the same as when it was released!!?
These games are ruined now, I think its great that Sony are trying to stop these idiots!!

Neko_Mega5582d ago

MW2 is mostly mod save files, Boarderlands you can mod your file and pretty much make you character god.

I mod my Boarderland charater to hold 2,000 items in her backpack, I only did that for Boarderlands because it doesn't effect others online like MW2.

Mr Tretton5582d ago

"This is the reason i dont game on console too much control from the maker"

ahem, I assume that means you game on PC, where hacking never happens and users have no control?

Stealth bot detected.

RedSky5582d ago

@Mr Tretton

No, you fail at comprehension.

He games on PC where you can ban anyone from your server who is seen cheating, instantly, whenever you want without waiting for the grand overseer to do it for you.

Oh and nobody can invalidate your hard drive.

nickjkl5582d ago

so uh i guess you hate computers to much control from to many companys

feeding you securtiy updates and stuff

RedSky5582d ago

You don't know what 'control' means do you?

Be honest.

paintsville5582d ago

"Mandatory" updates LOL. More and more and more and more.

zeeshan5582d ago

Frankly, this is getting annoying now!

theEnemy5582d ago

This is the reason I game on console, the control is in the developers/publisher. They always win the war anyways, it won't be another PSP, hackers will always find a way to crack it, and Sony will always find a way to block it.

FinalSpartan5582d ago

wait another 3.56 firmware? I have to download & install once again?

I don't even know what this is....

Xbox 360 Updates are fast and simple. PS3 updates are pain in the ass..along with game updates.

ComboBreaker5582d ago (Edited 5582d ago )

"Xbox 360 Updates are fast and simple. PS3 updates are pain in the ass..."

Well, then I guess you must really be butt-hurt then.

CrawFail5582d ago

upgrade your internet connection?

The update took me literally 2 minutes to download and a minute to install.

kopicha5582d ago

nonsense... both are the same. I dont see any differences on game/firmware updates for both my ps3 and 360. if its mean to be big they will be slower, if small they will be faster. both console works the same way. unless your 360 is "special". if not you are just another xbot trying to pretend a ps3 owner and troll the thread.

dabri55582d ago (Edited 5582d ago )

Sony caps the bandwidth for system and game updates. One of the benefits of signing up for PS plus is you get uncapped updates
This is why the updates on the PS3 are slower.

never its gonna be just like the psp

you will get used to it

Redempteur5583d ago (Edited 5583d ago )

the race only just started ...

yep i know .. that's sad ...

juggulator5582d ago

Really?
First Sony goes after Hotz and crew and the judge rules in Sony's favor.

Then Hotz and crew have to turn over their hacking gear and stop distribution of the root keys.

Next Sony sends cease notices to other mirror sites that were distributing the code and the sites comply.

Finally Sony releases new version of FW 3.56 to bar hackers.

So I'm not so convinced that it'll never end. Otherwise some of these things wouldn't have happened.

xplosneer5582d ago

Seriously...

I don't want this to return to PSP levels as it seems like suddenly no work is being put into new features for the people that abide by the rules.

RedRedSuitSDF5583d ago (Edited 5583d ago )

i think with all the PS3 and PC players of COD that want to sue for an "unfinished product", claiming the game was not complete, and all they do is patch it.... i think we need that group to do this for the PSN also. i mean update after update after update...... it's seems like an "unfinished product"

achira... none of them are "required" to play games. it's not mandatory to be online to play a ps3.

achira5583d ago

you should read the text bevore you comment. its not required to update.

bluwulf5583d ago

Its not mandatory to play online. This one.

WharenPeace5583d ago

It's generally encouraged that you first read an article, before you comment on it. Commenting on a subject, in which you're ignorant of its content generally leads to embarrassing and awkward moments.

Highlife5583d ago

I don't mind the updates. If you want to go back to the old systems that when you buy it the system never changed and it was what it was. Now well you can look forward to new improvements.

stephmhishot5583d ago

Difference is, the ps3 works just at what its supposed to do. Sony is not patching the PS3 in order to make sure it still can play a movie or play a game every other month. It is patching the PS3 because of the acts of hackers, aka trying to protect their true customers.

RevXM5582d ago

It works, except the browser that shit needs a total makeover or better, the ps3 could have Opera or Chrome.

And Trophy sync should be faster or automatic in the background.
Comparing them is slow too.
And a simplified faster ingame menu would be great.
And Skype... Ingame.
Proper GIF image support and MKV support.

that would be one heck of an update...

Go Sony, teabag them cheaters and pirates, but dont forget about good useful updates and features.

stephmhishot5582d ago

Maybe if these hackers weren't wasting their time, Sony could get around to that stuff. These guys think they are doing everyone a favor, but outside of a small percentage of gamers, no one has any interest in this stuff. We're much more interested in the stuff you mentioned.

insomnium25582d ago

OMG rev an update like that would make me jizz in my pants. One can always dream.....

redsquad5583d ago

Don't confuse "unfinished" with "evolving"... unless you're a PS3 downer of course (perish the thought)

ComboBreaker5582d ago (Edited 5582d ago )

Games like Gears on the 360 are incomplete. So they must be constantly patched to complete it.

The PS3, on the other hand, is already completed. Firmware updates are only for adding totally new features to the PS3. (Yes, blocking hackers IS a feature.)

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.

solideagle17d 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

Relientk7717d ago

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

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.

And then MK1 killed it again.

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.

Relientk7725d ago

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

Cacabunga25d ago

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

S2Killinit25d ago (Edited 25d 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.

neutralgamer199225d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga24d 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

1nsomniac24d ago (Edited 24d 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.

medman24d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger24d 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_Box25d 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.

robtion24d 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.

darthv7225d 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.

Agent7525d ago

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

S2Killinit25d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14925d ago

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

Lightning7725d 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.
