Assassin4hire6750d ago

after i was done downloading it..it said congrats for being the first person in your region for downloading the update! isnt that weird...kinda cool though

demolitionX6750d ago

I liked the new update! new theme is awesome

Kleptic6750d ago

my god the sniper level in CoD 4 is about the coolest thing I have ever played...finished that, then decided to download this 2.0 thing to play more online...I am officially addicted...

I really am pissed about the lack of in game messaging...but whatever...an updates an update...its not adding anything bad...its just not adding what I wanted first...

by the way this download is probably the fastest update I have ever done...anyone else?...2 minutes and I am already at 60%...these things usually take like 20 minutes total on a good day...

tethered6750d ago

It doesn't have in-game XMB but I'll take anything that makes the PS3 better. Now I just need a PSP. Soon, very soon.

ruibing6750d ago

Is that peeing on KMart's (it's scary I've been around the ps3 section long enough to remember trolls more than fans) avatar? It's very cool.

Anyways, I haven't found myself using most of their features. I think for developers in-game XMB would be good, but only if it doesn't sacrifice memory usage. In fact, as a gamer, I would rather they make the XMB even more efficient instead so the developers can make better games. Not the greatest update, but it still has some pretty solid features that some people have obviously been asking for in the playstation blog.

snoop_dizzle6750d ago

they are supposed to release the uncharted demo later right?

C_SoL6750d ago

got it downloadin here in the WestCoast...

xplosneer6750d ago (Edited 6750d ago )

Pretty cool. Not the bets but cool none the less.
Anybody seen the new design of the chatroom? that's awesome.
Even better:PLAYLISTS! Music AND Photos.
"Seven Nation Army"
To top it off new Motorstorm content and Uncharted Demo plus a minimum day on top of it all. SWEET.

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.

solideagle3d 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.

DarXyde9d 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.

Soy10d 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.

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

Cacabunga11d ago

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

S2Killinit11d ago (Edited 11d 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.

neutralgamer199210d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga10d 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

1nsomniac10d ago (Edited 10d 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.

medman10d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

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_Box11d 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.

robtion10d 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.

darthv7211d 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.

Agent7511d ago

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

S2Killinit11d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14911d ago

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

Lightning7711d 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.
