Good news fellow Europeans! (and everyone else with EU PSN accounts) On the official PlayStation blog, They have announced that there will be an Easter sale! No, unfortunately that aren’t selling chocolate eggs. (I’d rather spend my PSN credits on chocolate to be honest)
Sony has recently been taking things seriously. We have had massive sales recently so, Sony seems to be fairly generous lately. Now they have released a list of upcoming games for the Playstation Consoles and Handhelds.
A good friend of mine contacted me recently because his PS3 got banned from Sony’s PSN. He owns a PS3 for the sole purpose of playing Videos and music, and mostly runs Showtime (a media player Homebrew, far better than the official PS3 video player) and Netflix. If the default video player on the PS3 was decent, he wouldn’t have to run a CFW at all. As a matter of fact, he never played a single game on his PS3. Nevertheless, he woke up one day seeing that he couldn’t connect to the PSN anymore.
Like I requested in my previous article, commenter vFX suggested I write about the Source engine. So here it is, and as always, if you’re expecting an in depth review of every bit of history,feature, spec. Then you’ve come to the wrong place. Sorry!
In a previous article, I claimed that modern consoles can probably only be hacked by companies, or more generally by people who can invest a relevant amount of money into R&D, then expect a significant return on investment.
Some people contacted me to ask if this is why some hackers in the PSP/Vita/PS3 scene request donations for their work. After seeing a few similar questions in my mail box, I concluded that a clarification was needed: When I said the people behind the hacks expect a return on investment, I did not mean the couple hundred bucks that a “donate” button would typically give a hobbyist hacker on the PSP scene. I meant thousands of dollars, possibly hundreds of thousands, actually.
Just like my previous article, I have decided to do it on technology that has impacted the games industry more than English people like tea (I’m allowed to, I’m British. Yes, I do love it). Read the rest of this entry »
Before I start, must say that this will not be an in depth review listing every feature and spec each of the engines have ever had, but just an overview of its history. Read the rest of this entry »
The Playstation Vita was out more than a year ago worldwide, and we have yet to see a native hack publicly released. I can see several reasons for that and will try to describe them here.
Less than 24h to go before what is expected to be Sony’s PS4 announcement in New York. In order to tease for the event, Sony has published a few videos showcasing the history of the Playstation Brand. the PS1, PS2, and PS3 videos last week were followed by a PSP and Vita video yesterday. Today, the video talk about some of the most successful games on the Playstation platforms.
Over the past year, we’ve seen a continuous stream of exploits releases (almost one per month since April last year), and even 2 kernel (psp) exploits. But it seems the trend has stopped, with no new major announcement on the horizon. TomTomDu80 has a psp user mode exploit, which he ported to VHBL, but most likely no plan to release it for 2.05 (or that would have happened already).
Dust 514 has been around for a while now and many of you probably know of its existence. It’s innovative in so many ways, and since it’s now in Open Beta anyone can try this amazing FPS game.

With all the rage about CFWs and leaked keys, the Ps3 system has been opened widely. But long before this, other hacks were found that allowed homebrew apps to be ran, amongst other things. While most of these hacks are patched, some are still accessible, even on the latest OFW.
