Modder dives into Demon’s Souls files following PS5 jailbreak, discovers Ring of the Chieftain

From Eurogamer: "Earlier this month, high-profile modder Lance McDonald announced that the PlayStation 5 had been "jailbroken".

Now, following the discovery of this jailbreaking exploit, McDonald has been rifling around in the files for both BluePoint's Demon's Souls remake and those of the elusive Abandoned from developer Blue Box Game Studio."

Some people have far too much time on their hands. Still it's good to see hackers....I mean modders doing something that doesn't get the FBI involved

Zhipp563d ago

It's kind of ironic to be making that kind of statement on a gaming forum.

HeliosHex563d ago

@zhipp. I don't see the irony, please explain.

rlow1563d ago

So the PS5 being jailbroken received zero traction on this site. But sad to see it had happened so soon. I guess consoles being PCs architecture, has made the job easier.

Storm23563d ago

At least it was an old firmware and the newest firmware is always required to play games online so they aren't going to get anywhere with cheats which causes huge problems on PC...

jeromeface563d ago

keep telling yourself that

fr0sty563d ago

@jeromeface they don't have to, there's years of experience, since the PS3 era, to go by. Every time a firmware gets cracked, a patch is never far off.

ABizzel1563d ago

The PS4 was also jailbroken early, so it's not a big issue until they can reverse engineer it, or get code running on it for offline play of games, which each take several more years.

Orchard562d ago

Yeah this is the first jailbreak article that has been approved.

Sony consoles are always hacked pretty quickly though, using a FreeBSD based OS doesn’t help. It’s usually that or third party components with CVE’s like WebKit etc.

It’s cool to see the data mining going on though.

Sgt_Slaughter562d ago

Meanwhile an entire article about Kotaku advocating for piracy on the Switch was approve pretty quickly.

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC13d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier13d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k413d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy8513d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga12d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS712d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto13d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies13d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS712d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast13d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

DaniMacYo13d ago

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.

The 7 Best Co-op Games on PS5

There's no better way to enjoy your PS5 than with friends, so here's our picks of the best co-op games on the console.

Cacabunga106d ago

For coop, get a used switch instead

jznrpg106d ago

I own a Switch and have never played co-op on it. I do play Elden Ring , Demons Souls and some other co/op games with my friends on PS5. Baldurs Gate 3 is the next game I’ll play co-op. Can’t do that on a Switch

Cacabunga105d ago

I was thinking for couch casual immediate fun.. not online coop games that require some adaptation.
