SCEA Planning Action Against PSGroove, PSFreedom, and OpenPSJailbreak

"garyopa over at PSX-Scene has recently done some digging, and uncovered all documents relating to the current Sony legal cases. One very interesting point is that Sony is planning action against the PSGroove, PSFreedom, and OpenPSJailbreak teams."

"Sony is even using printouts from various blogs and news sites, as exhibits in their cases. These websites include PSX-Scene, PS3News, exophase and several others. On one such printout, the well known console hacking enthusiast, Mathiuelh, is even named as one of the creators of the PSGroove code. To quote: “Mathieu Hervais told BBC News he was one of about 20 hackers involved in PSGroove’s development.” It appears Sony is actively pursuing these individuals in a mad scramble to prevent further distribution and updates to the PSGroove code."

Good luck Sony. I'm sure you'll convince the Judge that these people are adversely affecting your business. Afterall, it's not like you've done anything recently to adversely affect your business... you know like disabling some 3rd party add-ons, removing OtherOS and generally acting like idiots.

Something is going very wrong with your strategy for this console - perhaps you should stop spending money on pointless court cases and concentrate on making some games that are worth playing....

1. Wii – 70.9 million as of 31 March 2010 (2010 -03-31)
2. Xbox 360 – 41.7 million as of 23 July 2010 (2010 -07-23)
3. PlayStation 3 – 38.1 million as of 30 June 2010 (2010 -06-30)

PS - I still don't forgive you for shutting down Lik-Sang

"concentrate on making some games that are worth playing.... "

Are you actually serious?

Seriously serious?

You're beyond reasoning.

If anything I am a Sony Fanboy and I love Sony but they will never be able to stop this its as free and LEGAL as jailbreaking an iphone which actually is legal. They can't and won't be able to pull it off. The movie industry, 360, Wii all couldn't do it. You can't censor people believe it or not I want to see Sony lose this one.

It is these types of actions that start a trend, sony was able to do somethings earlier on in australia.

If anything is missing from your console, than blame the the hackers not sony.

For had they tried their best to accomidate their consumers with a premiun console in the ps3 with some unique feature sets they have been force to remove little by little. But its like I let you in my house, now you want to take over? I dont think so.

And yes sony is still making great games as we speak (as it currently stands they have quite a handful of games coming out toward the end of this year and into the next), it seems to me some people think sony is run by two guys. When reality is, its run by multiple divisions and such. Sony is a giant, not a small entry level company waiting to make some kind of impact.

I believe they know all too well what they are doing, if they fail to get what they want so be it. But I cant wish them luck for something they might end up in bed with the judge over.

All I can say is, i am glad they are considering taking some action. Sooner or later companies will follow suite and some business that rely heavily of making profits of big companies via these channels will be force to close shop.

And the only thing left, will be legit and certifications.

Yes, that's Kara in season 4 of The Boys

Been watching season 4 of The Boys and find Firecracker's face familiar? As a gamer, where you know her from might surprise you.

I did have one of those "where do I know her from...?" feelings.
It's funny how a different hair style changes a person. I saw some pictures of her with short or blond hair and it made me remember Kara, but making her a redhead AND with long hair, just bugged my brain.
Here's hoping her character survives until the end of the show (even though her character is a horrible person).

No doubt homelander will get pissed and show her his appreciation.

Episode 3 i was expecting a bitch slap death but it never happened he was zoned out then.

Would it not buy the boys still comedy she fight's back with that lame finger snap power he is like bitch really then just takes her out with one hit LOL

bloop3h ago

Thank you. Couldn't remember who Kara was and was too lazy to open article.

Tankbusta408h ago

The only image from the show in my mind is the multiplying dudes eating each others butts in the sauna

VariantAEC8h ago

Valorie Curry is her name... not sure why that's not even in the short summary. Why is this gaming news though?

ZeekQuattro3h ago

I couldn't for the life of me remember what I remembered her from and then I saw The Tick in her acting credits. That's why she looked so familiar. I loved that short lived Amazon show.

Underrated? J&D was one of the most popular IPs at the time, quite literally the face of the ps2 beside God of War

Outside_ofthe_Box1d 3h ago

Would love to see a open world Jak 4 on the PS5, would be amazing, but I know ND said they'd never do it.

purple1011d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

apparently there is a movie being made. I just cant get my head around what Sony is doing recently,

In regards to cancelling twisted metal game, when they push ahead with series 2 of the tv show, surely she show is meant to promote the game, where the real profits can be made.

Now we hear of a Jan and daxter film, (an old ps2 game) but NO new game to go with it,

mind boggles:

Sony Pictures, PlayStation Productions Releases & In Production:

• TV Shows:

-HBO: The Last Of Us Season 1
-Peacock: Twisted Metal Season 1
-HBO: The Last Of Us Season 2 & 3
-Netflix: Horizon
-Peacock: Twisted Metal Season 2
-Amazon Prime: God Of War
-Disney+: Films/TV Shows
-Hulu: Films/TV Shows

• Movies:

-Uncharted
-Gran Turismo
-Ghost Of Tsushima
-Jak And Daxter
-Gravity Rush
-Until Dawn
-Uncharted 2

I wasn't aware that ND said they'd never do it...

I know they said it would difficult for them to go back to it after doing super high fidelity, gritty, realistic stuff like Last of Us but I didn't think they'd ruled it out completely.

Outside_ofthe_Box7h ago

They didn't say never, but was basically what they said. They actually tried making a new Jak, but what they were making was straying far from it's roots so they canned it. They're just in a different mindset when it comes to developing games compared to when they made Jak.

XiNatsuDragnel16h ago

Jak and dexter is known franchise Sly Cooper was more hidden one tbh.

darthv725h ago

...and he was trying to stay hidden because he was a thievius racoon.

Demetrius2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Seeing jak&d left in the past like that really makes me appreciate nintendo even more for atleast keeping mario, zelda, metroid, and others around while making em still feel fresh, Playstation should have another gem besides astroboy and ratchet&clank

Space Marine 2 creative director reveals new details about the multiplayer modes and crossplay

From GameWatcher: "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 is looking like one of the most exciting action games coming out this year. Ahead of its September 9 launch, 13 years after the first installment came out, Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive have unveiled all the multiplayer options that are part of the surprisingly meaty package, and we’ve had a chance to sit down and chat with creative director Oliver Hollis-Leick about it all.

After the original third-person shooter with hack-n-slash elements from Relic Entertainment, Saber is bringing to the project some extensive experience with renowned IPs such as World War Z and Evil Dead. On top of that, Hollis-Leick, whose resume is also filled with major Saber projects, is a famous figure in the cutting-edge realm of motion capture. This adds to his overall vision a special touch we briefly discussed too."
