TPS: It was a beautiful sunny day in downtown San Francisco two weeks ago when we sat down with Dana Jan, the game director of Ready At Dawn's new PSP game to talk about the studio's second PSP God of War, their initial claims to stop making PSP games, Jan's earlier days at Blizzard, the PSP Go, the PSP2, 3D in games and movies and a potential PS3 game by the award winning PSP developer among many other things.
Please check our page for the latest system software features and how to update.
The only reason they do it is to give very tiny inconveniences to the modding community. I'm surprised they even still bother. They haven't even done this to the Vita in quite a while
The update is for Bluray drive keys, to keep them functioning. the system is cracked wide open by hackers since ages ago, it wouldnt make sense to cover exploits on a retired system.
It needs updates for Blu-ray keys in order to watch newer movies. But also likely security updates as well.
I have 2 and love them as well. I had the shell of one of them refinished so one is nice and shiny.
I found one in a charity shop for 40 quid (best find ever!) I fell in love and got another. My first one got nicked and got a replacement so I still have 2.
My original launch day "phat" PS3 is still part of my entertainment center and running like it was new, I've never had a game system last this long. It's had no repairs whatsoever except for taking it apart a couple of times to clean out the dust but of course I had to upgrade the HDD from it's original capacity. I've got a handful of games that I still break out and play every once in a while on it.
Why would anyone continue to update their PS3 in 2025?
My old PS4 has been disconnected from the Internet since 2020. If I keep it I can mod it and if I sell it, it will have a higher value.
me too. there were lots of gems on the PS3 I think I want to play that I didn't get the time to play before. plus the used games are dirt cheap now. good luck finding Deadpool though haha. that game and its PS4 port are worth more than gold now.
A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.
Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever
That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.
Across its 21-year lifetime, Ready at Dawn developer the Echo series for the Meta Quest, along with Daxter, various God of War spinoffs, and The Order: 1886.
They signed their death sentence when they accepted to be bought by the lizard Zuckerberg.
What a freaking shame, almost every time a developer leaves Sony they end up in shambles.
we have heard nothing from Quantic Dream for ages, - supposed to be making multiplat starters game.
I think they are making star wars game. They should be fine because of Star Wars name alone if their quality is closer to their last games...
lol, a bit dramatic there. Meta saw interest in them, hence the buyout. They made some amazing VR experiences. They were never a Sony developer or studio. They made a few games for Sony systems, but also for Nintendo as well.
If they made ORDER 1886 £30/25 then it would have sold a lot or made it 10-12 hours long...That game had potential. its one of those decisions which will haunt them for the rest of life or maybe Sony did the pricing hence killing the sales...
The price really was the biggest issue. The Order wasn't necessarily a "bad" game. It was far too linear, as in it was literally corridors and hallways for the most part. There was also zero replayability. But all of that would have been fine if it was priced to match. I remember the game was $80 in Canada and I felt very much ripped off after having been hyped for the game.
Even if there was potential for a sequel I can understand why Sony passed on it. With a launch that suffered backlash as bad as that, it's really tough to justify spending even more resources to build a bigger, better sequel.
That probably kept them afloat for longer, if anything. They were interested in pursuing VR games and Meta seemingly gave them more runway.
Sad.
Can they somehow release the PC version/source code of 1886?
They showed it off in SIGGRAPH. It's fully playable. Just needs a release.
Why would Ready at Dawn release a PC port/source code from an IP owned by Sony PlayStation?
Of course, it's not going to happen ... but a near complete build of a game, which was even showed off publicly at a conference, will never be made available .... and that bums me out.
Sony would have the code in their archives, not Meta. Ready at Dawn, thankfully, doesn't own the IP or itd be gone with the shutdown so, there's still hope for you yet, just not from Meta because as was mentioned, it's Sonys IP
Sony has the PS4 code in their archives .... Ready at Dawn should have both the PC & PS4 code in their own repository. Meta doesn't even come in this discussion.
You do know Sony owns the IP right? How do y'all know what The Order 1886 is but don't know anything about it? Y'all are s****d or something. READY AT DAWN DOESNT OWN THE IP, NEITHER DOES META, ITS OWNED BY PLAYSTATION, it's their intellectual property. Read a book on IP and gaming
Maybe drop the caps lock and chill out, buddy. This a bizarre reaction and needlessly hostile.
You can inform people that don't know this stuff without being so dramatic, yeah?
