Citing unforeseen technical issues with PS3 cross-compatibility, developer Mediatonic has sent word that its aerial side-scrolling shooter Who’s That Flying?! has been delayed. Previously locked for October 12, a release has been moved into next month. Mediatonic is working alongside Sony to address the issue, which “affects a very small minority of older-style PlayStation 3 units, causing the game to […]

Homebrew developer Lachrymose has released BreakOutX 0.2, a clone of the timeless brick-busting classic Breakout. Although it should need no introduction, here’s a refresher: gameplay is centered around manipulating a paddle object in order to deflect a physics-driven ball towards blocks scattered across a square playing field. Featured are five levels in all and a difficulty toggle. For aspiring programmers or those […]

With its storied 12 year development history, it comes as no surprise that Duke Nukem Forever was a colossal money pit. Speaking to CVG, Gearbox head-honcho Randy Pitchford estimates that 3DRealms head George Broussard poured in approximately $20-30 million of his own cash into the project. I spoke to George Broussard and he said, ‘Randy, this is the worst day […]

Sony has dished out deets on the forthcoming Killzone 3 multiplayer beta, which is set to go live on October 25 with one important caveat: it’s limited to PS Plus subscribers. Apart from a “handful of key media partners and selected PAX feedback participants,” becoming a Plus member is your only ticket in at this point. You’ll also need to […]

Some new Duke Nukem Forever footage has emerged from Amsterdam where a short portion of the game was shown off; the same portion that was revealed at PAX 2010. There are a few forced lines of humor that hopefully won’t plague the final game, but aside from that the game is looking solid. Take a look yourself at the video […]

Here’s good news for Linux faithful: homebrew developer KaKaRoTo, the original author behind PSFreedom, has incorporated support for earlier PS3 firmware revisions — specifically 3.01 and 3.15. What’s the advantage, you ask? Well, it means those who have been reluctant to take the update plunge following Sony’s controversial removal of OtherOS in 3.21 can now jailbreak their PS3. Previously, the payload […]

An anonymous user over at Spanish site Elotrolado has released Open Manager for PS3. The application serves a dual purpose, allowing users to load legal backups as well as homebrew in extracted EBOOT.BIN format from connected USB devices, or the internal HDD itself. An easy-to-access menu system enables switching between storage devices on-the-fly. It also features a built-in FTP server […]

Developer Just Add Water has went on record to say that an XBLA release of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is not on the cards primarily due to file size limitations imposed by Microsoft. One thing we can discuss in regard to the 360 version is the size of the game. On XBLA there is a 2GigaByte size limit we have to adhere to, […]

It’s about time. Naughty Dog’s unanimously well-received Uncharted 2 is receiving the Game of the Year treatment nearly a year after its initial debut, Sony announced today. Scheduled to drop on October 12 in North America, the GOTY edition comprises all previously released DLC offerings to date. Hit the break for a full run-down on what’s included:

According to court documents obtained by garyopa  of website PSX-Scene, Sony has filed a slew of legal motions that implicate the well-publicized PSJailbreak device and related PS3 hacks such as PSGroove, PSFreedom, and OpenPSJailbreak. The documents indicate that subpoenas have already been sent to domain name registry services and ISPs for websites involved in the sale and distribution of PSJailbreak […]

Yet another game has been plagued by the delay virus that seems to be going around various game studios this fall. NBA Elite 11 has been delayed until sometime next year while NBA Jam, previously going to be offered exclusively within the game for the Xbox 360 and PS3, has broken its ties with the title. While we won’t see […]

Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet 2 promises to bring an enormous amount of creative freedom to the table, taking the original mantra of “Play, Create, Share” to an entirely new level. Recent creations from the ongoing private beta, such as a rendition of thatgamecompany’s 2007 PSN exclusive flOw, are evident of this. The effort is spot on, retaining flOw’s tranquil atmosphere and relaxing charm. Beyond […]

Here’s a nifty customization technique uncovered by our friends over at Nyleveia, allowing users to give their PS3 XMB a more personal touch by replacing the default font with that of a custom one, provided your unit is “jailbroken.” It entails simply replacing two files located on the PS3’s dev_flash partition. A step-by-step process is detailed below.

Courtesy of Team GEN, the latest in an onslaught of emulators for PS3 is a port of Yabause, which emulates the multi-core powerhouse that is the Sega Saturn. Although short lived, it had its fair share of classics — most notably NiGHTS and Panzer Dragoon. As far as emulation goes, don’t expect miracles in the speed or compatibility department: it’s […]

The blackb0x crew has come to the rescue with a much-needed alternative to the previously released FTP server for PS3. blackb0x’s take features threading support for fast, simultaneous file transfers across a LAN or WiFi connection. Unlike CJPC’s (admittedly) buggy equivalent, it is crash-free and does not lock up or sporadically drop connection between network transfers, a plus in our book! Installation and […]

In a recently published consumer alert, Sony has issued a terse warning over the usage of unlicensed or counterfeit PS3 wireless controllers, bringing into question the “quality, reliability and safety” of these devices. Unspecified variants of third-party controllers may not function at all, damage your PS3, or worse — explode.

It is with great disappointment that I inform you that one of the fall’s biggest titles for PlayStation 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, has been delayed until January of next year. The delay comes just a short time into the closed beta of the game and just a few months before its release. According to the official blog the game was delayed […]

Team Twiizers member Marcan – one of the brains behind the infamous Twilight Hack for Wii – has hinted that he is working on a custom PS3 Linux bootloader. “I suck at names. Help me name a usb-exploit PS3 Linux bootloader? All I came up with so far is lv2ate (“levitate”) and AnotherOS,” tweeted Marcan. As you may well be […]

What better way to leverage the PS3’s computational prowess than with a Dreamcast emulator? It’s quite a jump from the 16-bit SNES, however, homebrew developer drk||Raziel has taken to the challenge with a port of his very own nullDC.

Ahead of tomorrow’s planned downtime on PSN, Sony has decided to roll out this week’s PlayStation Store offerings tonight. The update is an eventful one, bringing with it the arrival of the much-welcomed Japanese PSOne Imports store section. Making their US debut for the first time ever is the bizarre, testosterone-laden beat ’em up Cho Aniki alongside 1996’s Gaia Seed, […]
