lmao- you guys got jokes. you claim im dwelling in the past but when the ps3 gets hacked/cracked YOU are the ones wanting the emulators for REALLY OLD games (snes/n64/neo-geo/ etc). who you think you fooling :P
when i read articles like this it makes me wish microsoft would take notes from sony once in a while.
@sleepy3
Dont need a HDTV for snes/ps1/ps2/n64 games.
lolz, this be funny stuff. hackers/crackers are full of shit. lets face it, they all in it for piracy. their is no fortune to be gained. so he released tools to create homebrew. lets see how long before they start releasing the play "backup" copies application. if homebrew means adding extra features, i dont see how piracy is a feature. you just lying to yourself if you saying you only backing up your games.
theres one less reason to buy a 360
so first microsoft abandons their core gamers by releasing kinect and mainly supporting it this year, now they abandoning the 360 crowd altogether. wow microsoft, way to go.
only one foot left to shoot off.
i know this may be alot off topic here but since seeing the playstation is getting hacked/cracked in 2011 i thought this would be a good place to pose the this question....
i know alot of people of N4G wont mod their consoles. however this is a very small group of gamers relatively speaking. most people say that custom firmware will give them what they want, ie - the emulators, the mkv support......not forgetting the ability to pirate games <sooner or later>.
hardware sales rising doesnt mean much to sony. their business policy is sell the console at a loss and recover the money through the games sold. so even though they have a huge hardware base, that wont necessarily mean huge profits.
Piracy is f&^kd up. i will never mod my ps3. EVER! if i wanna play snes games, il do it on pc. dont need an 3D LED TV to play 8 bit games. thanx.
the playstation fulfills my multimedia needs. sure, their isn't wmv sup...
@evrfighter
would that be the same dairy business that bungie started?
nevermind, your lack of bubbles is a good indication of your previous posts.
doubt that would matter. people will just upload the firmware to a site, log on from the ps3 browser and download it. install it and they sorted.
pirating games will eventually happen <we all know this, some of you out there are waiting for it> but in South africa i dont see the point. a blank BD disk costs about 200ZAR. for them to make a profit on the game, theyl have to sell it for 300-350ZAR. which is pointless because thats the same price of an older/preplayed o...
Valve: 'We're not schizophrenic'
valve: The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think it's really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted," said Newell. "I'd say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a 'do over.' Just say, 'This was a horrible disaster and we're sorry and we're going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it.'&q...
I still want a new soul reaver!! heck, even if its the ps1 game remade in HD il buy it. the story, the voice acting, gameplay, gaphics (for its time)everything was just awesome. to me that was like the "dark" uncharted of ps1. no surprise though, it had Amy Hennig on the project.
i cant wait for the day i log into n4g and read the title "crazy gamer killz activision CEO". i wouldnt mind if they blame GTA after that. heck, blame mafia 2 :P that crazy gamer will be doing the gaming industry a service!!
@Ultimate_guy
please tell me you forgot to put the "/s" at the end of your comment.
"Exclusives should never be awarded GOTY."
coz if that were to happen the xbox360 wouldnt have a game of the year at all since seeing for the last 3 years the ps3 exclusives absolutely dominated it.
i still think they should have 5 categories for GOTY!
xbox360 exclusive GOTY
ps3 exclusive GOTY
wii exclusive GOTY
multiplat GOTY
PC GOTY
what ylod? im running a launch 60 gig and still no yellow lights you speak of. and iv also updated everytime a new firmware came out and not once had those freezing issues and what have you.
sign all you want. this is the orange box story all over again. that didnt get fixed and neither will this. activision will calim they working hard on the next C.O.D and have no time to fix this crap.
P.S - the patch they released was just to make you think you matter to them. if u really did, the game would be fixed a long time ago. heck, criterion games made whole exapansion packs <free dlc> for burnout paradise in the same amount of time.
i totally agree with you. heres an idea- make 3 categories for game of the year. best ps3 exclusive GOTY, best 360 exclusive GOTY and best multiplat GOTY. simple. that way it keeps the fans happy and the journos from looking like biased fanboys.
@The_Science_Guy
gotta love you sticking up for the idiot. oh well, guess dumb-asses have to stick together.
this isnt about race. dont make stupidity a race issue. heck, if he was some white dude talking all "redneck" you too would be like wtf! i hate this shit, somewhere someone must play the race card. this asswipe cant speak proper English. thats the reason he gets picked on. P.S - ghetto is not a national language in any country on earth. slang is a FORM of language. "ghetto" language is just plain unprofessional especially when he is talking to geniuses making games who hav...
@pillville
the minute you altered your ps3 with a homebrew disc you went against the TOS. therefore you should rightfully be banned. NES emulators are not legal either. NES games are not abandonware nor are they freeware. they are all property under the license of nintendo. Also, your ipod analogy is very weak.
Ipods are made to play mp3s. the PS3 was made to play PLAYSTATION3 games (unless you got a Backward-compatible one in which case you can legally p...
