Killzone 2 is not receiving the 3D treatment after all, despite a recent Qore video suggesting the contrary.

With Nintendo’s recent 3DS announcement, a question looming on many minds is if Sony will respond by introducing new hardware of their own. Like, say, a PSP2.

Yet another PSP save game exploit has surfaced, this time to the credit of wololo and n00b81. Adapted from m0skit0 and ab5000’s “half-byte” loader, it takes advantage of a user mode vulnerability found in the Patapon 2 demo — which in a bit of an ironic twist, came pre-installed on PSPgo launch units here in the US.

Update: George Hotz responds. Sony has announced that the next PS3 system software update — firmware 3.21 — is  slated to hit the PlayStation Network on April 1 and will remove the OtherOS feature present on units prior to the slimline revision, due to “security concerns.” While Sony neglected to delve into further detail, these “security concerns” likely stem from […]

To what extent, is unknown at […]

It’s safe to say that Codemasters has had a rough time with the PSP. Speaking to Edge, company VP Gavin Cheshire has lashed out at Sony’s flagship portable platform, calling it a “bollocking useless waste of space.”  These fighting words rage on in the full quote:

To date, the independently-ran Insomniac Games has remained as a staunch supporter of Sony and its PlayStation brand.

These plans could very well […]

Speaking to Kotaku, Fils-Aime reiterated that the key focus at Nintendo is innovation, not following in the footsteps of […]

Sony is throwing a fair amount of support behind its just-announced PlayStation Move motion controller, which should come as no surprise, seeing as the company likened the impending fall 2010 release of the device to a “platform launch” during its GDC 2010 press briefing. In an interview with the PlayStation Blog, SCEA president Jack Tretton shed light on the amount […]
