Bethesda's dark future RPG should be out on the same day for all platforms
Forthcoming Bethesda Softworks title Fallout 3 is set for a simultaneous release later this year on several platforms, according to the game's executive producer Todd Howard.
Bethesda's previous title, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, was released over a year later on the PS3 than on the Xbox 360 and PC platforms.
Speaking to videogaming247.com he said that the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC versions "should all be the same date…that's our plan."
Howard spoke of his belief that the game would transcend the traditional genre borders between role-playing games and first-person shooters.
"I like to think of RPGs as the best genre-blenders, in that you can do anything in them. No type of interaction is off limits and you can have action parts, puzzle solving parts, or anything else," he said.
"When you're making a shooter, you never ask 'can the player get married and have kids?' When you're making an RPG, that type of thinking goes on all the time, so while it may look like a shooter, I think that dramatically undersells what the game does."
He also explained that the Fallout 3 team has been looking carefully at a variety of influences, including Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road.
"The Road is fantastic and came out in the middle of our design phase, so it became required reading for many of us," he said.
"We looked at many post nuclear movies, some very disturbing, things that deal with Hiroshima and such, and it gave us a good look at that type of nuclear destruction. Other general ones we looked at were things dealing with survival or how people deal with the effects of any war or rebuilding."
Fallout 3 is due for release in Q3 of this year, and is set 200 years in the future in post-apocalyptic Washington DC.

UK studio keen to follow MotorStorm success with more of the same
Evolution Studios, the developer behind the European PlayStation 3 launch title MotorStorm, has said that it wants to "dominate reaction racing for a long time".
Asked about the future of MotorStorm as part of a Eurogamer.net feature exploring the game's first year of downloadable add-ons, gameplay producer Jed Ashworth explained that the question "goes way beyond downloadable content".
"We have the aim of turning our launch-window title into a sustained, massive brand," he said. "We plan to dominate reaction racing for a long time. We'd never aim any lower."
Ashworth declined to comment on plans for MotorStorm 2, but confirmed that the first game's considerable support since launch wasn't getting in the way of development.
"The picture some people have of us all working on [MotorStorm DLC] is somewhat off the mark," he said. "We're a multiple-project developer now."
MotorStorm has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide, making it one of the Sony flagship platform's most successful games to date.

Toshiba made a formal announcement today with regard to the state of HD DVD. Unfortunately, it wasn't the white-flag surrender we had hoped would bring a swift end to the format war. In a statement made by a Toshiba spokesman, the firm said, "Toshiba has not made any announcement or decision. We are currently assessing our business strategies, but nothing has been decided at the moment." This came as its stock soared under investor speculation that Toshiba was ready to pre-empt future losses and bring the battle with Blu-ray to a conclusive end. Nevertheless, a multi-format disc pressing plant for indie films by the name of Blue Ray Technologies (BRT) announced the closure of its HD DVD stamping lines. According to BRT's founder Erick Hansen, there's no need to wait for the formal announcement, "HD-DVD is dead, all that is left is the burial." Ouch.

News/release from Archaemic:
This workaround has gotten a little out of hand. That's right, I wrote a GUI for No Bull Moose, which was originally conceived as a workaround for a bug in PSPComic that couldn't be fixed due to memory limitations! It's not perfect, but it gets the job done, and it's certainly a lot easier to work with than the command line utility. At least, it is if you're command line illiterate like most of the world. It's also bundled with a new version of No Bull Moose that has better detection of the location of jpegtran. As usual, the application is available for Windows, two Linux architectures and Mac (as a universal binary). However, the Mac version of FANG won't work as a native 64-bit application. Regardless, it should still work fine on 64-bit machines. The file size is a little large due to its dependence on Qt, but, unless you're on dial-up, it should download in only a few minutes.
Please note that I do not plan to continue development of neither FANG nor No Bull Moose following this release. Now I can finally get back to finishing up PSPComic v1.0! Soon...soon...

News/release from Maxthebest
Here is the pre-final release, revision 0.9C of my protect me app, which allows you to put a password on your psp and which registers every time you psp is switched on to a history file.
A readme, which I advice you to read is included, and here is an extract from it, about the changelogs since v0.9b (which was released yesterday):
Quote:
--------------------------------
Changelogs:
--------------------------------
Final Version revision 0.9c
In the Installer:
-Changed the interface totally, now you have a nice one.
-Recoded most of the eboot.
-New options:
-You can now exit via the menu
-You can now uninstall the prx, and password and history file
-You can now delete the password without deleting the prx (to keep history function)
-You can reset the history (clear the file)
-Now the installer checks wether vsh.txt exist or nopt, if it does not exist:
- it creates it
- It adds 'ms0:/...blah blah blah" so that you don't have to do it yourself)
-The prx checks wether the good line is writen in vsh.txt, if it does not, then it adds it.
So now the installation is easier, you just put the eboot in your psp and launch it, and then activate the prx, nothing else!
-Changed '********' to 'aaaaaaaa' because it caused some little problems.
In the prx:
-Changed '********' to 'aaaaaaaa' because it caused some little problems.

We weren't blown away when a couple of days ago a rumor started to take hold that a "PSP-style phone" was in the works, but now we've officially entered either elaborate hoax territory (the image above has been seen in both English and Spanish), or just might have pics of the real thing. We're banking on the latter, but we're working with our Spanish-speaking bureau to whip up a translation, which we'll post in a few minutes.
"New in 2008: July-Dec"
Top box: Between both keyboards there is a 3 inches screen with the same resolution of the PSP (480x272 pixels) which guarantees a good gaming experience. Good as well for movies.
Lower right box: PSP functionalities were replicated in this architecture, making possible that all PSP games can be played. It won't have UMD slot, but it'll have M2 cards instead
Left box: Slide on one side and you'll find a joypad with analog stick for PSP controls. Slide to the other side and a number keyboard will show up enjoying the ergonomy of Sony Ericsson

According to documents sent to the FCC on February 14th, it appears as though Sony is attempting to change the specifications of the PSP. The company is requesting a change for "AK8PSP2001." That looks like the PSP-2000 series to us. The document states that "we change parts other than a wireless module. This is not to cause any modification to the mentioned electric characteristics and RF characteristics."
The other documents on the FCC site are rather unhelpful, as they demonstrate the various radio capabilities of the PSP. What changes will be made to the PSP are unclear at the moment, but we'd postulate that these are simple cost-reducing measures, and is not indicative of a new PSP series. Why? Sony would most likely file a new model number altogether in that regard.
We doubt Sony will give specifics regarding this situation, but stay tuned for any new developments.

News/release from MaxtheBest:
Hi, I'm back with my little protect-me app.
For those who ignore it, it allows you to put a password on your psp, it's not flashed yet, but it will.
here is an extract from the readme about the changelogs since v0.9 and installation:
Quote:
nstallation:
-Unzip the archive at MS root
-Edit the vsh.txt file and add ms0:/seplugins/protectme.prx
-Set the password you'd like using the eboot installer (don't do it if you don't want to set a passwrod.
it'll still save the history of power on...
-Activate the plugin through recovery menu.
Changelogs:
Final Release Revision 0.9b
-Changed (not really important, but I got bored of the old ones...) ICON0 and PIC1 (still Fraise's creations)
-Now there is only 1 file, the installer, the prx is not in the package anymore as it is
autogenerated by the installer(noobz might be delighted as they don't have to copy it to
the right place (hard job isn'it?, no just kiding)). But you still have to add the good line into vsh.txt...
-Two more options in the installer:
- now you CAN exit without, making any changes (in case you just wanted to see the wonderfull menu, who knows?)
- you can delete the plugin (which will diseable it) from the menu.
-Not much important, but I added few colors to the menu...
-Corrected a display bug.

Oh crap! I received LOTS of emails yesterday about PSAFE crashes. So I decided to patch some bugs. Also, I was looking through the code of the web client, and man, there were 2 major security flaws that allowed for ANYONE to change your IP or view your log - I took some measurements that should fix the problems until v4 is out. Also, if you would like to know more details about the final version of v4, I explained it all on the README file.

News/release from Eminnentjonfrost:
I'm releasing my unfinished game because it's been left untouched for a looong time (Since the beginning of year '07) and I really did want to release something for the PSP while the homebrew scene was strong. (Don't know if it still is, haven't been keeping up) My "game" is coded in Lua... and hopefully it at least becomes a useful snippet to people.
As it's name implies, it was based on playing with elements. I wanted my first game to be innovative somehow but didn't know how to proceed and stopped coding for so long and just.. lost interest.
You install it by putting the the Elements folder with the rest of the Lua applications in Luaplayer. (Oh btw, I used Cool's mod 4)
I'm sorry I can't post a screenshot because I don't have the PSP app that can do that anymore, but here's the main menu screen at least. It and the little icon are the only actual pics I used in this game. (People who dissect the game will know what I mean. A note to those who do: I did so to save space, and it was quite efficient)

Boy, you guys must really hate going to your local game retailer. Sony today announced that it's PSN Online Store has racked up an impressive 52 million downloads since launching with the PS3 back in November '06 (and expanding to the PSP in November '07).
For context, Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace reached to 50 million download milestone back in August '06, roughly five months faster than Sony's network (when staggered launch dates are taken into account). Sony's current mark of 2.9 million registered PSN users also pales in comparison to the 7 million Xbox Live users as of last September, though Microsoft's head start likely played a part in that lead.
Still, Sony's online service is going in the right direction, growing from 6.6 million downloads in Dec. '07 to 7.9 million in Jan. '08. And with the PS3 starting to outsell the Xbox 360 in the American marketplace, could the much-predicted Sony turnaround finally be coming to pass?
