This one's for the Action-RPG fan in all of us. Over at Firing Squad, an interview was held with senior producer Kevin O'Hara where some questions about the new Sony Online Entertainment game, Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom, were answered. This is SOE's first PS3 exclusive title and it follows the previous two titles, released on the PSP.
How's the storyline? Basic MMO fare (although this isn't an MMO, just an A-RPG) about kingdoms waging war, but the twist is the game begins when the war ends. The king of your kingdom discovers a new source of power, thanks to tampering with the darker side of the arts. His secret? The suffering of his citizens. Depending on who you play as, your objective is different. Seize the throne? Kill the king and leave the kingdom? Find a way to bring salvation to the people? Take your pick, role-players.
Fast and tactical gameplay (although it sounds very much like the Dynasty Warriors system), pick up n' play action, advanced physics and particle effects, cooperative mode (online and off), and future downloadable content/extras make this worth a glance, even if the concept of HP and free-roaming aren't your cup of tea. Or coffee. Water? Check out the other screenshots at Firing Squad and see if any tickle your fancy. Granted, the graphics aren't superb, but this is still fairly early in development. Backgrounds look pretty good, though.

According to an article over at T3, a leaked Sony document details a few secrets about the PS3 and its internal Blu-Ray player. The Playstation 3 will be one of Sony's first pieces of hardware to use the "BD Live" technology, which allows Blu-Ray players (not limited to the PS3 -- most Blu-Ray players will incorporate this technology given a year or two) to go online and download new content whenever a disc is inserted.
Thinking spyware? Adware? Pssh, please. Think more like movie trailers, actor biographies, or exclusive web-sites which can be accessed by the disc and/or saved directly onto your player for viewing later on. Sony says these downloadable contents can "also be shown, at least by the PS3, in a picture in picture window while the main movie is still playing." That doesn't seem really useful, but if you want to surf a secret website whilst a movie plays on, knock yourself out. Still, this downloadable content secret from Blu-Ray is pretty keen. Any ideas of good random content that will magically be downloaded onto your PS3? A movie soundtrack, at least a sample of, would be pretty cool.

jockyw2001 posted this news/release for the PSP.
First off what is the VLC PLayer:
PMP VLC Player plays mediafiles:
A) from memorystick
* Videos from PSP/VIDEO
* Music from PSP/MUSIC
B) from Optixx' PMP Server via WiFi (requires Python)
C) transcoded and streamed from VLC via WiFi (requires VLC 0.8.5)
Heres the new release info:
This one has AVC hardware video decoding support. Now you can see live TV and DVDs on your psp in high quality. That's 25 frames per second and in full screen (480x272).
ChangeLog
1) added AVC hardware video decoding support for high quality streaming and playback from memstick (requires the also supplied VLC 0.8.5 with x264 support for PSP)
2) scaling does now work correctly (pressing start during playback toggles screen mode if picture resolution < 480x272)
3) pressing right trigger in main menu now really connects to network and the IP address is shown
4) up to 5 video and 5 music directories can be added in pmp.ini
5) network path no longer displayed in filenames, except for the selected entry
6) the supplied VLC 0.8.5 package automatically installs the required pspfiles.html file
7) solved several vlc and net directory buffer issues where there was crap at the end of the listing
8) the supplied VLC 0.8.5 can be used to encode video files, DVDs, live streams, capture device sources etc. to AVC avi files
9) fixed a bug where the previous track in the playlist was played again

More on the UMD Movie Issue from Spong
As most movie and games industry pundits seek to write off the UMD as a viable format to host film releases, it looks as though Sony is set to rethink its offer to studios and retailers, with DVD movie combo packs set to ship with Sony Memory Sticks and PSP encoding software.
It was reported earlier this year on SPOnG that major studios were backing away from the format, and recently reports have flared talking of major US retailers backing away from UMD movies, or discontinuing their sale altogether.
Sony's answer, or at least the first stab at an answer, is to release Memory Stick Entertainment Packs. Two versions will be released, a one GB version (MSX-M1GSTEP) and a two GB (MEX-M2GSEP) version. In the US pricing will be $60 and $100 respectively, the same Sony asks for it's standard first-party Memory sticks.
Each pack will come complete with an installer DVD housing four Sony Pictures movies, Hitch, S.W.A.T., The Grudge, or XXX: State of the Union, and software that will install them onto the PSP ready-encoded. The only shortcoming right now is the resolution, with Sony offering the movies at a resolution of 320x240, much lower than the 480x272 the hardware can manage.
We'll bring you up to speed with this interesting development as more information is released.

Atari has agreed to sell the Driver franchise and most of developer Reflections' assets to Ubisoft in a deal worth EUR 19 million.
The move is part of Atari's streamlining plans, says CEO Bruno Bonnell, who believes that the company's racing game interests will be adequately represented by the Test Drive series.
"We are focusing the energy of the company on a select number of franchises in order to optimise their impact among consumers and increase shareholder value," he said in a statement marking the sale.
"In the driving category, we consider Test Drive our key franchise which will require more resources and attention to build it as a landmark of its genre."
Atari will maintain sell-off rights for all Driver games for three months, except for the most recent title, Parallel Lines, which it will retain until the end of calendar-2006.
80 members of British developer Reflections' staff are to become employees of Ubisoft.
After seven years of games spanning two generations of console hardware and PC, along with several handheld titles, the Driver series is firmly established.
The original was critically acclaimed, but subsequent titles have failed to hit the same heights - although the series found itself back on track in its most recent instalment, which drove the game closer to Rockstar's blockbusting Grand Theft Auto series in concept.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot believes it will form a platform to build upon, pointing out that more than 14 million units of Driver games have been sold so far.
"We look forward to leveraging the unique knowledge of the Ubisoft studios to ensure that Driver will be one of the leading brands of the next generation of consoles," Guillemot said.

Okay first things first, These have been tested and DO work, I tested them personally. But you must know, That before you may flash a custom firmware tweak you have to unflash any previous custom firmware tweaks With slashers unflasher before you continue!! Its important that you always remember this, Flashing custom firmware on top of already flashed custom firmware does not work And may cause a brick,,SO make absolutely certain to remove any custom firmware tweaks with slashers unflasher before you use these!!
Okay first up is the file cfp0.1.rar This is a nice one here. This is a custom firmware tweak from a coder known as harleyg, This has Much deeper recovery mode options compared to the original POC recovery mode, Including the recovery of certain prx files and the ability to customize your clock speed.Not only do you gain more advanced recovery mode features by hold the r key on psp boot up. But this round you gain the ability to hold the l key to auto load devhook on psp startup as well (provided your devhook folders are named devhook and devhook% prospectively) Remember this firmware tweak comes with a config file that needs edited to your preference in the psp/system folder just like dark alex's
Seconded is the file Recovery.elf.rar This is also from harleyg, What this is, Is just the recovery mode features from the cfpo.1.rar file in case some people didn't want to use harleyg's app, you can add this patch to dark alex's POC custom firmware flasher a gain harleyg's advanced recovery mode options that way 
And last but not least Is the custom firmware recovery.elf tester By none other then Jasonuk,
This allows you to test a recovery.elf from the root of your memstick to see if its safe before you take the dive into flashing.
Again I can not stress enough Even if you know what your doing, You can brick your psp by trying these, These are firmware tweaks!! Know that you run the risk of bricking your psp By trying these!
Download and try these at your own RISK,

qwerty has posted a new game called PSP Dance, heres the info the coder posted:
How to play:
Hit the button when it shows up on the screen. Your character will do something when you press it, wave his arms, whatever. You probaly cant see it since it goes by so fast in this version.
Press R when you have a 100 crowdsurf points (or more wink) to get to the other cardboard box and get a 2* multiplier. Since is the first version, it has some bugs, like the multiplier stays on when its supposed to be off, stuff like that. the next version will be way better.

News from PSP3D:
Arguru and PSP 3D have just released the first work-in-progress alpha of Turrican PSP, a clone of the popular Metroid/Turrican games. The engine still lacks some basic stuff, such as working level transporters, additional enemies, etc. Levels are... will be non-linear, meaning you can include links in the level maps to move to a specified point in a level, a bit like Metroid. Permanent power-up items can as well be placed in the way; you will need some items to achieve certain parts (ie: double jump, morphing, ball, etc). Well, if you have played Super Metroid, you'll get the point, and if you haven't played it yet, what are you waiting for?
Turrican PSP is NOT FULLY PLAYABLE yet, and we aren't sure when it will be or how long it will take to finish, but if the progress ceases, source code will be released to public (which, hopefully, it won't). The game has been tested on a 1.50 FW PSP, but most probably won't work under GTA/eLoader because of the insane memory requirements at this time, unless you cut the .WAV sound files, which will essentially reduce RAM load. Modding instructions (following the footsteps of SMM) have not been included yet, but feel free to mess around with the text-based level generator, although any mods for this version might not be compatible in future releases (please give credit to authors if you release any mods for this game).

News from PSP3D:
KaotiK DesignZ and PSP 3D are proud to release a new version of the X5 portal for PSP, catering to and allowing developers to produce new features and capabilities for the browser-based portal. Modability support was a highly requested feature in the last release, and a place for use of the homemade additions to the portal was not available. Now, we have done the hard work for you, and have introduced an all-new section in X5 specifically for your creations.
Alteration of the packaged documentation, source codes (for the core of X5, not the additions area), and core images are not allowed, but redistribution of your own version with new features is allowed, so have fun, and be sure to read the included documentation before producing. You can also download this directly from your PSP using the "Software Update" feature available on X5 ver 2.00.

Phil Harrison, big boss of Sony Computer Entertainment, sat down for a short session with Joystiq's Conrad Quilty-Harper and cleared up a couple of the more embarassing quotes from other members of Sony. About Sony's arrogance, he said: "There's always going to be a risk when you are market leader for ten years that we start to lose perspective; and we have to make sure that we don't lose perspective." He then reassures Conrad Sony is not being arrogant, but are always in the spotlight and any quotes will be dissected into whatever spin is being sought.
About the statement "Microsoft is copying Sony"? Phil claims the quote was taken out of context, which is kind of hard to do when it was practically verbatim. Even so, as being the leader in the industry for about ten years, not only is it easier to get more hate than praise (if you think bashing President Bush is bad now, imagine how it would spiral out of control in four more years!), but it's also easier for the leader to get an inflated ego. As such, less people may support the PS3, but saying Sony's arrogant? Taken out of context, indeed. Really, this interview with Phil Harrison did not seem to clear much up at all except the people at Sony really believe in what they say. But should we?

Yesterday it was highlighted to me that 2 sites had posted the same review and the second site even went as far as to watermark the images from the first review, now this brought outrage (not from us we just laughed  ) from members and visitors of both sites.
Well today the 2nd site has posted that the review was actually a Press Release that was sent out, now this is worrying, what the hells going on when a company is sending reviews out as press releases, the other worrying thing is that neither site really mentions this but they really promote the review.
Now this modchip isnt cheap and what the PSP scene needs is truthful and unbiased reviews because the price of these modchips can be up to $99 and more.
I wont mention the sites as most know who they are and theres probably more who posted this "Press Release Modchip Review" but be honest with the scene and your visitors.
Im sure other people will want to comment on this

I found this on one of my regular visits to irc,
Inside the readme is no Address to a source page.
But this is the proof of concept (unflasher) By a Coder known as Slasher, I cant be certian if this is our slasher we have at Dcemu or an unrelated slasher. But none the less. I must warn you. As with all apps that flash your psp firmware you run the risk of bricking your psp by useing this!!!
Here is what the readme had to say..
This program is meant to 'Unflash' your POC Firmware recently released by DarK_AleX.
Just simply run the program, and it will undo any changes that the POC firmware did.
This software is a use at your own risk program. Writing to the flash is always dangerous, and although this program has been tested and confirmed working, the author takes no responsibility if you happen to brick your psp. Use at your own risk!
- Slasher
Well thats all there is to say about this, Again Though, Remember by downloading and useing this app you run the risk of bricking your psp!!
Download and Use this At your very own Risk, Leave feedback Via Comments Below
