I find it hilarious how the article is calling hackers "security researchers." It is trying to make them seem like decent people who are not trying to do anything wrong.
GeoHotz and every other hacker involved should be fined enough to make them all broke and be locked up for a LONG time. I have nothing against them making hombrew and stuff that doesn't effect games at all, but these idiots released tools that'll allow others to pirate games and hack games...
I'm not fully understanding this.
Say someone buys a game and then gives it to someone else. This continues until five different people with different PS3s have played it. Will the game thus not work on a sixth PS3?
Am I right at all?
Anyways it is good news. This basically means piracy is impossible on the PS3.
We can't fully judge it yet. All we've seen of it is the E3 build from last year. We haven't even seen the MP yet, which has always been the focal point of Socom.
I respect your opinion though. What we've seen hasn't been super amazing, but we haven't seen hardly anything, let alone the main focus of the game.
I myself am glad to hear about this. I was going to get KZ3 anyways, but getting into the Socom 4 beta is a nice extra.
I do find it odd though that the game is coming out in Europe a month before the US release. Normally games come out in the US first if there isn't a basically simultaneousness world-wide release.
I have no problem with this though. I'm just wondering what is in it that needs changed in the US version. Maybe they actually have a good amount of dialog in the game now.
Anyways I can't wait for it. It looks freaking AMAZING.
This whole thing is just a joke. Moms are the only ones who complain about violent video and how they "ruin their children."
EA is making fun of moms pretty much with this viral campaign
I found the videos quite funny.
They also showed some new footage in them.
Graphically it is. So far there hasn't been a console game yet that has beat it in visuals. However IMO Killzone 3 does look better than Uncharted 2. So from February 22nd to November 1st Killzone 3 will be the best looking console game out. Then Uncharted 3 will then take that title when it comes out.
Uncharted isn't just about graphics though. There is a lot of variety in the gameplay and there isn't a single other TPS that has MP as good as Uncharted 2'...
You should actually play Uncharted 2 sometime.
It is obvious you haven't because the story has NOTHING to do with the first game.
Idiots like you shouldn't even play games. Stay in school kid.
Yeah, but it is probably too late for it since it comes out in just over a week.
I don't see why LBP2 didn't get at least $10 credit as well.
Killzone 3 still has a chance though, but I myself have a feeling nothing will change.
The laws in America are horrible. We basically protect those who are doing things illegal.
This idiot has stole the private security key of the PS3,which is owned by Sony, and PUBLISHED on the internet. Developers have to PAY Sony to use their key to get games to run on the PS3.
He has obviously done something illegal and should already locked up and completely broke.
He is the reason piracy and hacks online will now happen on the PS3.
So they're only offering $0.99 release day delivery for the games listed there I guess.
It kind of sucks that they didn't offer that or at least $10 credit for Dead Space 2 or Killzone 3.
I might get Socom 4, but none of those other games interest me at all.
The person on trial is the REASON online hacks and piracy will now be on the console.
Every PS3 gamer right now is worried about online play being messed up due to Geohot. However he deserves to get destroyed because of it. He has single handily caused a LOT of problems.
I can't wait to see his face when he gets 20 or so years in jail and a fine that'll make him broke FOREVER.
After seeing what happens to him others will be scared ...
IMO that trailer is crap. It doesn't portray what Killzone is. The "feeling" of Killzone and what it is isn't in that trailer at all.
I know the guy probably spent a good amount of time with it, but it is complete crap IMO.
EliteF50's trailer is MUCH better than the one on here. If the sound wasn't off it would be perfect for a TV spot.
It uses the same music in the official trailer, but that kind of music is wha...
Wow that is AMAZING. I think they should do more songs like this for different games.
It really is nice to see something that isn't a montage or a commentary.
I must applaud them for making the game sound MUCH better than it is. Story wise it can't be more generic, neither can the characters.
Gameplay wise they have made something unique. However I'm betting it'll get boreing really fast. You'll be doing very similar things over and over again.
They're doing a good job advertising their game though. I'm betting a good amount of people will buy it and get bored of it fast, but the devs wi...
Breaking the TAC is just another thing Sony can try and hit him with.
There is no way he can win since he stole and RELEASED private security codes on the internet.
He has already lost no matter what.
I believe has must have a PSN account, since he got the FW that disabled otherOS.
If he didn't have his PS3 hooked up to the internet though, then he wouldn't have gotten the FW update. Thus his plea that he hacked the ...
Exactly. He is screwed already. He hacked into the console, stole the security keys and posted them on the web for all to see.
This isn't like the iPhone case at all. Bringing it up in this case is irrelevant.
Sony has already won. Anything else they can find him guilty of is just icing on the cake for Sony.
BTW +bubble for you.
Why would we care if he hacked something else when this is a GAMING site. I'm not happy about his iPhone/iPad hacks, but there is no reason to talk about those on a GAMING news site.
Also he has opened the doors for piracy which effects EVERYONE. Sony won't get as much money for this games, which means less AAA games from them. Plus online play can now possibly be ruined if hacks/mods can be used in public matches.
Anyone that supports him is a C...
There are MANY Let's play videos on YouTube of it.
X's MineCraft Adventures is a good one.
As soon as a get a new PC this is the first thing I'm buying. The game is truly amazing and it is only int he Beta stage.
It sucks having an old PC that can BARELY run YouTube. Luckily pretty much any new computer can run MineCraft fine. You don't need a $500 graphics card to run it.
Man I can't wait.
Engineer, skater, and now a knight.
He has also literally traveled to hell and back.
Wow I wonder what else Isaac can do.
I wonder why he is still working for EA helping everyone find where to go with has locator.
He could be doing so much more with his life now.
