PSU writes: "Remember the Game Genie? Well Hyperkin is releasing Game Genie: Save Editor for PlayStation 3 to help unlock cheats that will assist bad/lazy gamers blow through levels and whole games. The product works by modifying save data with cheat codes that unlock a variety of possibilities. Hyperkin plans to debut the Game Genie: Save Editor for PS3 at E3 next week."

unlock street fighter x tekken characters?

Dir_en_grey4340d ago

lol, next thing you know they will be charging for Game Genie codes as DLC too... (hope I didn't give the Game Genie developers any ideas)

Snookies124341d ago

Hmmm interesting, I'm assuming it disables trophies though lol.

Emilio_Estevez4341d ago

Yeah, you have to mod the save file, which will disable trophies.

Nitrowolf24341d ago (Edited 4341d ago )

No trophies still work. I've kept my eye on these for a while now.

"It works through a USB flash drive that contains an installation program. This allows you to transfer save files between the PS3 and PC. A PC program in the USB drive will write cheats onto your save files. Then you’ll transfer the edited save files from PC back to the PS3. It comes with a continuously updated server that adds new codes to the newest games."

This stuff is already available and been for months now. Nothing new at all.

Pretty much the cheats will be for trophies. Making them easier to obtain. SO rather then beat a game on hardest difficulty in a few days this will let you be on the last segment right away.

Terrble device.

WitWolfy4340d ago

I hate this device, bought one 2 years go for xbox thinking yeah now I can get like God for that game, and infinite credits for that game.. Just to see its user saves being uploaded to their program.. whoopy do!!! why call it a game genie??? thats so misleading its a save game genie actually...

yewles14341d ago

This will only fly if they make sure it doesn't work for multi-player...

Nitrowolf24341d ago

It won't
This is already available just as a different product name. It doesn't work for MP because game developers are smart enough to have the MP data on the HDD rather then in the saves. Only game this would work for MP is COD4

Hellsvacancy4340d ago

Are games too hard for you? games this gen have been too easy imo, with a few exceptions

NastyLeftHook04340d ago

nope, demon/dark souls should be the standard for rpg's.

thebudgetgamer4340d ago

What you PS3 kids aren't good enough to finish games without help? Bums.

ShaunCameron4339d ago

The same can be said about PC gamers. After all they cry about not being able to enjoy a game that won't let them mod it.

Aka hyperkin has remade the Sega nomad.
Hyperkin does what Sega don't

Sgt_Slaughter100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

I'd have to wait to see performance, because if this is just another rom dump-to-emulation type Hyperkin device then hard pass. The quality of their products are severely hit-or-miss.

Also, unsure why they picked a 16:9 screen yet again when every game plays in 4:3. There are plenty of emu-handhelds that have quality screens in the original aspect ratio.

Profchaos99d ago

So I've got clarification on the screen it'll go between 4:3 and 16:9 with a toggle but yeah I get what you mean it does look like a 16:9 screen.

Also doesn't appear to be a emulation device runs native carts. But also I guess you could just load up a everdrive and play anything on it.

Neil writes: "Created in collaboration with Xbox and 343 Industries, the team at Hyperkin has announced that they'll be releasing some rather tasty Limited and Special Edition Duke controllers, with the Cortana Limited Edition being the utter highlight - and you don't need us to tell you that it is an absolute purple beast."

Very cool. I have the green duke they made and will gladly pick up these.

Magog938d ago

I forgot how awkwardly placed all those buttons were.

Vits938d ago

Still one of my favorites controllers overall. Extremely comfortable for my hands.Unfortunately the Hyperskin version is ridiculously expensive in my region. To the point that you can actually get yourself a Xbox Series controller and a Dual Sense for the same price.

VenomUK938d ago (Edited 938d ago )

@Vits For me, no way! When playing Halo at a friend's the Duke was always unwieldily big. I didn't buy my original Xbox at launch I bought it when it had the refined smaller controllers, and they were great. It's funny to think how the designed was refined and then went next level with the 360 controller.

Vits938d ago

Totally fair.
I know very few that share my like for this controller. And the 360 is still one of my go to controllers for a lot of PC games. It's a shame that finding an original one in good condition is so difficult these days.

darthv72938d ago

I enjoyed the duke as well, then again I have large hands. When the S controller came out, it didnt take much to get used to it (except the placement of the b/w buttons) but Id say 360 was their magnum opus.

medman938d ago

I really like the design....well done.

Hyperkin celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Xbox Classic with a refresh of Duke

Duke is without a doubt one of the most recognizable video game characters, designed with American video game players in mind because of his “big hands,” and then reduced in size to appeal to Japanese audiences.
