Game Genie helps you cheat your way through PS3 games

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_grey]

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)

[Snookies12]

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

[Emilio_Estevez]

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

[Nitrowolf2]

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.

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...

[yewles1]

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

[Nitrowolf2]

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

[NastyLeftHook0]

nice

[Hellsvacancy]

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

[NastyLeftHook0]

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

[thebudgetgamer]

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

[NastyLeftHook0]

Seriously?

[thebudgetgamer]

Sometimes, I don't know.

[ShaunCameron]

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.

[mushroomwig]

Well so much for trophies, I was quite fond of my trophy/platinum count but now some people will just cheat their way to a platinum.

[Dark_Overlord]

People have been doing it for a long time, only requires a hex editor to resign a save :/

[0pie]

thats verry lame. Real gamers dont need this shit.

[NYC_Gamer]

I don't like cheats/guides rather beat games on the hard difficulty on my own

[Hicken]

To be honest, I don't think there's a need for such things in this generation. At first I thought, "Oh, cool." But the longer I thought about it, the less necessary it seemed to me.

Too late now, though, I guess.
