It's cool and all to come up with some elaborate scheme to blow up a building in just the right way that it falls on the enemies and kills them. But then you still have the quadrillion other enemies to deal which continuously spawn out of thin air. Also, at the end of the day no matter how clever or sneaky you are with your explosives, I can still cause more destruction with my sledge hammer.
They need to tone down the destruction IMO. Consider attempting to kill an en...
People with one bubble shouldn't be able to debate for one obvious reason?...
I see what you did there.
You can run successful PS2 emulators on a 1.6 ghz processor, which is nothing next to teh power of teh cell. Granted there are a few problems, and always will be, there is no reason Sony can't provide a pretty good PS2 emulator on every PS3.
I'll be we see a PS2 emulator running on the PS3 using custom firmware soon.
I guess Sony just can't keep up with what a bunch of hackers do in their free time.
Bunch of hackers have created a software PS2 emulator (in their free time) which works fairly well on a 1.6 ghz processor. Why can't Sony do the same on the PS3 with teh power of teh cell? And certainly the PS4 should be able to.
Well, the code is either stolen or it isn't:
IF the code truly is stolen, then Sony will say "the code is stolen!" and the hackers will say "the code is not stolen!"
On the other hand, if the code was not actually stolen then Sony will say "the code is stolen!" and the hackers will say "the code is not stolen!"
Considering the situation I think we can safely conclude that code is either stolen or no...
"Will you please turn in your car, as it allows the ability to illegally run people over. Also, we'll be needing that pickaxe as well."
Every time a multi-billion dollar company is allowed to take away freedoms just because they MIGHT be used illegally, the world becomes a better and more profitable place.

The landmark case saw Sony allege that a Mr Stevens had breached a number of laws by selling mod chips and unauthorised games for its PlayStation consoles. However, the High Court found that Sony's hardware did not constitute what is called a "technological protection measure", meaning it wasn't illegal to break through it.

Looks like Sony lost a similar case last time, according to the article. ...
Everyone automatically assumes that the crackers are lying and the billion dollar company is selling the truth. Why?
IF the crackers really do have Sony by the balls with a legal crack then of course Sony is going to try something - of course they're going to sue. Companies do it all the time as a last resort, no matter how illegitimate their cause is.
Here we see a developer who cares about the game. Making money is a secondary concern, and money made is spent on improving the game.
In stark contrast with most of the big publishers philosophy.
A big company crushes a smaller company and takes away consumer freedoms in the process; what more could a non-stock-holder ask?
I should have patented this system long ago. :)
I'm in pretty good shape, but I still have a hard time jumping into the air for a full 5 seconds.
"""
I've seen people with banned 360's who regret ever having their console modified. I'd hate to have a PS3 or 360 and not be able to go online, download films/chat with mates/watch tv/download DLC/play games etc etc etc.
"""
download films - computer
chat with mates - phone network, computer
watch tv - computer, and the few who own both a PS3 AND A TV can probably just watch tv on the tv
I think you missed the point. You tout mandatory firmware updates on the games as a solution, but forget this has already been done on the Wii and on the PSP (probably others too), and it didn't help. The mandatory update is either removed from the game, or the OS is hacked to ignore the mandate.
The OS controls the game, not the other way around.
Hacked OS: "I'm going to execute you now game."
Game: "Wait, your not the right firmware....
Normally it would be near impossible for a malicious hacker to disabled features on all PS3 with a virus or the like. But Sony makes it easy for them by disabling the features themselves; all the hackers have to do is create a single proof of concept. Most will praise Sony for it as well.
Like Dead Space. The game loses the element of surprise once you've killed your 20th monster.
I dunno, maybe I just don't have much concern for self preservation in games. While some might creep their way along trying to avoid video game death, I just charge in knowing that the worse that can happen is I go back to the spawn point I hit about 30 seconds ago.
He's obviously not serious, he's just pointing out that this is a very broad and thus very limiting patent. If this is to be a "breed of singleplayer-multiplayer" then it's a real tragedy that this is in the control of a single entity.
If ICO wants to use this idea in their game then good for them. But patents are about telling everyone else what they can't do. "I have an idea for a great game, but ICO says I can't do it." That'...
Imagine a game like LBP where there is lots of creation, and perhaps some destruction as well, and each player that visited could make a limited amount of changes to the game. Thus you could have a level which changed and evolved with each play through. It will be pretty cool if this becomes a reality in one of Sonys games.
What is not so cool is that this idea must be patented and thus will probably never be seen outside of a large companies generic game. Are you an indie...
That's a pretty pathetic reason IMO. I've turned down games because they have DRM, but I don't resort to piracy.
The term "dev console" usually refers to a command line interface you can bring up in a computer game (often using the tilde ~ key) to interact with the game in special ways.
