The Old Sony Megathread

[New Damage]

Well I noticed when I picked up MW2 again last Thursday and played from the over the weekend, I had absolutely zero fully hacked matches. One one game had a certified hacker in it (PSN was "Hacker_Bun" ) who couldn't be killed but that was about it as far as special abilities he had. Best thing was was that he was shit despite his invinciblity and he was a sniper; everyone on our team just walked away from him and left him alone, and I was able to get more kills than him in the game anyway. I sent him a message saying "wow, aren't you shit..." because that's how I roll.

In other news, attempt #3 at the 72000 kills on Dead Rising 2. Going good so far, don't want to jinx it.

In other other news, I had a little go on Test Drive Unlimited 2 in HMV. WOW. It was awful. The graphics are bad. They're marginally better than Need For Speed Underground 2 and the Scarface game on PS2, just a little smoother. I don't know if that was just because I was in roaming mode or whatever (I was driving around the streets with no race going on), but damn it. Watching a little clip on YouTube, it does look a bit better, as it was night time when I played, but still didn't impress me at all with the GFX.

I know 3 people who have TDU2, and all of them hate it. Reviews aren't great, either.

[New Damage]

Yeah it does look quite terrible. I mean, the other day I was watching a video of the PC version of Driver 3 which came out in 2004, and TDU2 looks barely better than that. I suspect some modding was done though, but still:

In other news, Dead Rising 2 72000 zombies trophy done. Just co-op and I have my platinum. Think I'll wait a couple of months before playing again though.

Well, after £4 and a year and a half, I've finally done the storyline of TNA Impact. And still haven't unlocked all the arenas and moves. Yeah, don't care, there are no trophies to bask in.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Not that you can bask in PSN trophies.

[Clawson]

Pffft....I bask in them all the time.

[Baddar]

-1 for Hammy.

Unfun News in the GeoHot Trial.

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/17/sony-granted-access-to-geohots-paypal-records/4#c33476404

Sony gets all the Data of anyone who donated for the trial (so a second bleem dos not happen, not in "paying for a hack") and knows exactly how much money they have to sit out to get around the trial comming to a propper end. Usualy i would say a propper end they would shurly come out as the looser in but opening these paypal records make me feel less confident about the brain of the American Law Personal.

[Benji]

NOBODY HERE GIVES A SHIT.

[TKz]

Yeah, no one cares. Take it somewhere else.

[New Damage]

Yeah, no one cares. Take it somewhere else.

Like his own thread?

[King Ellis]

You guys just carry on being sheep while the man tries to sue an innocent man.

[Herr Matzat]

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

So I guess Beeker symbolizes the innocent PS3 hacker making beautiful music while Statler and Waldorf are the evil Sony corporation?

[Plubby]

Wait, Beeker is GeoHot? Like...Canadian Beeker who released that gamebook?

Does Matzat know he can post in other threads?

[EddieG]

Maybe, but no need to make him more aware of it.

[EWB's Best Poster.]

Touche. +1 to you sir.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Wait, Beeker is GeoHot? Like...Canadian Beeker who released that gamebook?

I don't know if it's a joke or not, but Beeker is the muppet in that video that makes the "mimimimi" sounds. Not to be confused with the muppet that posted that video, though.

[Plubby]

EWB once had a member called Beeker
