or should that be what went wong ?
anyway heres the article via slashdot
Last week's news that Ken Kutaragi was stepping down from his post at Sony wasn't exactly a surprise, but it does raise a number of questions. Given reports that Kutaragi has visions for PlayStations 4, 5, and 6 and analyst speculation that he'll be involved with those products as well, why is he on the way out the door? 1up's Editor Sam Kennedy spends some time ruminating on the situation on his site blog, and comes to the conclusion that this may be what Kutaragi wanted all along.
"No one doubted Kutaragi's vision or ability to create fantastic hardware, but his failure as an executive was holding the division back. This is why Kaz Hirai took his place. With the PS3 off and running at the start of a 10-year life cycle, Sony won't need a visionary for quite some time -- now, it needs someone to run the business. And Kaz is right for that. He's a team player and has great relationships with the publishers. He can take things from here. But in all of this hubbub surrounding his departure, what's perhaps been overlooked is that this may have been what Kutaragi had also wanted. It's unfortunate, as the expectation was always for Kutaragi to climb the corporate ladder, yet this wasn't necessarily his goal. As he once told Newsweek about his executive role, 'We have so many things to create, but unfortunately for me I have a lot of responsibility right now...This was not in my dream.'"

Although the two stars Dante and Nero are apparently very different (even though they look like the same bloke wearing different coats) Capcom says that the two console versions of Devil May Cry 4 will be pretty much identical.
Speaking to IGN, an unnamed DMC4 dev commented: "As far as the Xbox [360] and the PS3 are concerned, the capabilities and the features in the game, we expect will be the same. Our plan is to pretty much make them identical. You may be able to use some of the functionality in the PS3 as like a switch, but nothing spectacular."
So PS3 owners can feel safe in the knowledge that those pesky Xbox types are playing exactly the same game. As for PC gamers; keep your fingers crossed.
Devil May Cry 4, all going well, will be out before the end of the year.

80s classic Boulder Dash is making a return to the videogame world in Boulder Dash- Rocks!, which is heading to PSP and DS at the end of the year.
A collaboration between 10Tacle Studios and First Star Software, Rocks! is an action-puzzle game that challenges players with collecting a set amount diamonds while avoiding falling objects, traps and besting enemies in order to open and discover the exit, before time runs out. Not too dissimilar from the original, then.
Helping you out are the likes of bombs and laser guns that can take numerous ammo types which can be used to freeze enemies, blow up boulders and drag diamonds and other distant objects towards you.
Each version of Boulder Dash- Rocks! features five modes of play - including multiplayer - one of these five modes being exclusive to each platform.
Boulder Dash-Rocks! is due for release in the fourth quarter of 2007.

It appears that if Incognito has its way there'll be an opportunity to play its PS3 game Warhawk before full release via an open beta and a demo.
Dropping hints in this regard in a recent interview with Game Informer, the developer's Dylan Jobe teased, "What I can say is this: We are firm believers in demos and betas and stuff like that. We believe that we want to get feedback from our players and we want to give them the opportunity for them to play the game, because we're really excited about how word of mouth can really help our title.
"I can't say anything now, but definitely keep your eye out." We will. Both, in fact.
Warhawk, with its multiplayer-only focus and vehicular and ground-troop combat, has been described as more arcade-orientated version of Battlefield - which it turns out isn't something Incognito is throwing its toys out the pram over.
Jobe explained, "Actually, a fast-paced Battlefield is really what we wanted... There are a lot of little nuances and convenient things that are new to Warhawk, and we're very proud of. With the heart of Warhawk, we didn't want it to be so radically new that it was going to be this art piece game. We really went into it wanting to have a game that was a mass-market, fast, wargame.
"If people are saying, 'Well, it's a fast version of Battlefield,' so long as they're having fun, I'm happy with that", he added.

It's being suggested that peer-to-peer file sharing will be included in the feature set of Sony's online platform PS3 Home.
SonyProtectionGroup.com claims to have received information from a source on Sony's developing a P2P file sharing network "that will allow users to seamlessly watch and share movies."
The site adds how the network operates is that a user downloads a chosen file and the movie will then start playing automatically.
But it's all rumour of course, and the site labels it as such. Sony's European arms had not got back to us on our query regards the rumour at the time of writing.
Sony has begun the internal beat testing of Home and it'll be open to the public shortly. Just in case you don't know, Home is a customisable online community service that lets users create avatars, interact with other Home-ians, customise an assigned apartment, show media stored on your PS3 hard drive and display 3D trophies unlocked through in-game milestones in PS3 games.
As yet there's no official word on dates for an open beta, but previous information on Home coming to light has suggested such will kick off between August and October. The full version of Home, which will be a free download, is expected to hit in October 2007.

David 'God of War' Jaffe's PS3 game Calling all Cars has been delayed due to issues with the game code.
We were expecting Calling all Cars to arrive this month, but Jaffe explained in a forum post yesterday that the game's been held up "as two very key bugs were found at the last second".
A spokesperson for SCEE told CVG, "The release date has slipped but we don't have a confirmed date yet. We're currently tracking an early June release", when contacted about the title's release date earlier today.
In his post, Jaffe added that fixing the bugs allowed the dev team time to "go back in and fix the issue (or what we think is the issue) that IGN had with the magnet. We are back in format q/a at the moment and we'd all be stunned if it did not sail thru...but we've learned to keep our mouths shut on it so as to not get people's hopes up and then let them down."
The two major bugs discovered, Jaffe said, were associated with voice chat and hosting a network game.
Calling all Cars features a cartoon-esque visual style and in a nutshell involves you driving around in a car and picking up escaped prisoners and returning them to jail. The snag is that you're not the only driver on this operation and can be up against AI and other players. The game features some crazy power-ups.

A German website has published screenshots from Ubisoft's recently announced Tom Clancy's EndWar, the images are scanned from EGM magazine. It's the first time we've seen anything in-game, previously Ubisoft only teasing us with a couple of weird trailers.
Unfortunately many of the screenshots are quite tiny, but pass your mince pies over them anyway. Combat and tactical map action is on display.
The shots follow in the wake of new details on the RTS, which have revealed info on AI, the military forces involved in the game and the destructible battlefields of WWIII.
Tom Clancy's EndWar is in development for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Difficult to believe the programmer of this plugin when it states to have put 30 minutes to do it. With the program a compatibility with all Custom Firmware, a posting of the percentage of the battery in the XMB and the regulation of the CPU, click on continuation! SG57 has just announced the exit of sound plug-in VSHInform which seems to go for all Custom Firmware.
What is what it is? This plugin has several functions:
- To post the remaining percentage of battery
- To post the remaining time of battery
- To accelerate or decrease the speed of the CPU
You can see written “USB off” but function USB complétement is not yet complétement established but the author says that that will be done “tomorrow when it returns from the school”. According to the author plug-in is also accessible for it in mode play or a homebrew. How does it go? touch it SELECT allows to post or hide information - The key CROSS-SECTION makes it possible to accelerate or decrease the speed of the CPU - The trigger L makes it possible to activate or decontaminate mode USB (not yet functional) Installation: The versions proposed on PSPGen were compressed in order to have only to decompress them on Memory Stick of your PSP.
- Download the plugin
- Connect your PSP to your computer
- Pass your PSP in “mode USB” thanks to the option “Connection USB”
- Click with the right button on the file which you downloaded
- Choose to extract the files…
- Choose like destination the letter assigned to your PSP in the Working station
- Support on OK and it is all.
If you want to use it plug-in in the XMB publish the vsh.txt file and ajouez this line: ms0: /seplugins/VSHInform.prx. If you want use it concerned publish the game.txt file and add the same line Launch the Recovery while pressing on the trigger R to starting, go in the menu plufin and activate it plug-in. Next improvements: * To add function USB * To add the possibility of making captures of screens * To add a menu for the various functionalities * Addition of GFX First bugs: - At certain people the PSP éteind in the course of use it navigator does not launch out any more when it plug-in is activated It is hoped that the author will regulate these problems quickly, if it is not the fruit which of a few minutes one can then consider of beautiful things.

In a recent interview, Tetsuya Nomura let slip a few details about the next game in the Kingdom Hearts series. While details about this new project are few and should be viewed skeptically, Nomura did state that it is not Kingdom Hearts III. It is, instead, a side-story to Sora's tale.
Part of the focus of this new story, Nomura stated, will be the events that led to Mickey possessing a keyblade, and what took place in the World of Darkness. Nomura also wants to focus on developing the character of Roxas.
Concerning platform, Nomura mentioned the PlayStation Portable, the Nintendo DS, and cell phones. He also pointed out that the official announcement had not yet occurred, but that it might come in the near future.

Acidmods yet again deliver another awesome PSP Mod:
Here's the latest and greatest from AcidMods. I put this one together yesterday, and after a full day of nothing but soldering, circuit testing, drilling and gluing (and annoying my wife), this is what I have for you... Push Activated Face Buttons. This one isn't much harder than a trigger mod, but it's a little more aggravating, getting everything put back together and working properly is where you might have a little difficulty.

A new pressrelease/factsheet about the upcoming game:
FACT SHEET
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc.
Developer: Sony Computer Entertainment Japan
Platform: PSP® (PlayStation®Portable)
Genre: Music and Rhythm
Players: Single-player; 4 players via wireless multiplayer connectivity;
Game Share wirelessly with 4 PSP systems
Launch Date: July 2007
Rating: “E” for Everybody
OVERVIEW
PaRappa The Rapper™, the beloved rapping puppy and hip-hop icon that debuted on PlayStation® in 1997 returns to the stage for a 10th anniversary encore exclusively on PSP (PlayStationPortable) system. Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment in association with legendary multimedia musician, Masaya Matsuura, and famed New York artist, Rodney Greenblat, the Parappa The Rapper franchise is widely regarded as establishing the rhythm action videogame genre that has spawned a variety of music and timing based games, including two of its own classic titles, Um Jammer Lammy and PaRappa the Rapper2. Targeted to old and new fans alike, this PSP title features all the characters, levels and songs from the original. PaRappa The Rapper increases the franchise’s social appeal by offering a host of new PSP exclusive features, including the ability to let up to 4 players to rap head-to-head in ad-hoc battles and share a demo level wirelessly with other PSP systems. Additionally, through PSP’s Infrastructure Mode, players can download and rap along with 8 playable remixes.
Parappa The Rapper stays true to its iconic art style and flattened animation (PaRappa means “paper-thin” in Japanese), combining fun and vibrant characters with hip music and a humorous storyline. Masaya Matsuura’s infectious music and lyrics accompany the iconic PaRappa as he attempts to rap his way into the heart of his dreamy love interest Sunny Funny, a daisy, through various musical missions and adventures. Using a rhythm, timing and coordination-based gameplay mechanic, players will bob their heads along with PaRappa and a cast of colorful characters in this timeless classic. Like the original, players must hit controller buttons to help PaRappa harmoniously mimic the Master’s actions and lyrics. As the player’s skill level progresses, they are able to break free into a one-of-a-kind freestyle session, giving each player the freedom to create a new experience with each play.
KEY FEATURES
• Experience the Music Game that Started it All – Widely credited with introducing the music and rhythm genre craze on videogame consoles, this classic title offers a nostalgic game for true PlayStation fans and a fun and humorous adventure for a new PaRappa audience on PSP.
• Rap Head to Head Wirelessly - Play PaRappa The Rapper wirelessly for the first time! Discover who the real PaRappa master is with wireless head to head rap battles against up to 3 other PSP systems (4 total).
• Game Share and Rap with 4 PSP Systems – PaRappa The Rapper allows players to wirelessly share a demo level with 4 PSP systems simultaneously. Share the fun with friends and play together.
• Download News Playable Songs – Expanding PaRappa’s hip-hop repertoire, players can download 8 remixes to play. Using PSP’s Infrastructure Mode, the remixes can be downloaded wirelessly onto PSP.
• Enjoy the Original Soundtrack – Rap to the timeless rhythmic tunes and catchy lyrics created by the gifted musician Masaya Matsuura, including Chop Chop Master Onion and Cheap Cheap The Cooking Chicken.
• PaRappa and the Colorful Cast of Characters – Enjoy 6 levels with Parappa and the rest of the colorful and flattened characters from the mind of famed New York artist Rodney Greenblat, including Chop Chop Master Onion, Instructor Mooselini, MC King Kong Mushi and more!
• Graphical Presentation on PSP – Like the original, PaRappa The Rapper’s unique graphic presentation features two-dimensional flat “paper-like” characters that roam around an animated three-dimensional gaming world. Updated from the original, it has been reformatted to the PSP’s native 16:9 format.
• Timing Based Gameplay Mechanic - A “Simon Says-type” gameplay mechanic allows players to rap to the addictive music by timing button presses to the beat.

Over the weekend a few European PS3 owners got lucky and got a little taste of Home (not the place, the beta version). Although there is no official confirmation from Sony that it was released, there are definitely people out there posting images proving that they have what boys like and what guys want.
With only a select few G.A.P. members getting in, we imagine people are staring at their 30 person buddy lists in jealousy as a single one of their friends enjoys the thrills Home has to offer. Americans seem to be particularly jealous right now, as nobody on Western shores has yet confirmed their acceptance as of this writing. However, we've been hearing the date May 1st as confirmation for acceptance into the North American beta, so if that date is indeed true nobody will have to hold their breath for too much longer.
That makes America the land of the Home-less (yuck, yuck, yuck), but if you're desperate to have it now, you and/or a friend from Canada can sign up to be beta testers before the release.

Gauntlet II will be arriving on the Playstation network for the PS3 on May 3 for about $5. Not bad for a little Warrior-Needs-Food action.
The game's four characters and 100 levels will also come with some hot online multiplayer action via the Playstation Network.

One of Ben's most popular hacks recently was the PS360 controller, a SIXAXIS modded into an Xbox 360 controller's shell, crashing his site not once, but twice upon its release. This project resulted in a lot of requests to duplicate this mod, showing either a very universal disdain for the PS3 controller's decade-old shape, or some strange obsession with the Xbox 360's chubby, winged form. Unfortunately. Ben didn't have the time to meet all these requests (plus he charges an arm and a leg), so we asked him to show you How-To build your own PS360 controller. It's not terribly difficult, just takes some time, elbow grease and, of course, lots of hot glue. Let's get started!
