L.A. Noire Is Too Hot to Handle, Literally

Sony can't seem to get a break. First, the Playstation Network goes down. Now, they face accusations that L.A. Noire is causing their consoles to overheat. But is that really the case?

can't wait to handle this baby though, hot potato or not...

FragGen4738d ago

+1. I seriously doubt there's a serious risk of hardware damage from anything the software is doing. The CPU is the primary heat generator and it'll only go as fast and hard as the system allows it to run. The game could make the disk thrash but I doubt that'd be enough to overheat a console. This is just silliness.

Istanbull4738d ago

Its annoying when we get articles from no name websites who still bash Sony eventough Rockstar and Sony said its happening on the 360 too.

So why cant Sony get a break? Becoz idiots like these websites create controversy and lies.

JohnnyMann4204738d ago

I can report playing this game for multiple hours with zero issues.

I have a slim, fyi.

Just wanted to let gamers know.

jc485734738d ago (Edited 4738d ago )

same here, but i can't say it's the same for launch consoles.

look, launch consoles are old, so it must've picked up 5 years of dust inside already. the cheap thermal past must've dried up.

80% chance your launch console will start to fail on you.

Enough with the BC hugging. Just let it go and get a damn PS2.

if you are "beginning" to experience some problems with the fat ps3 like constant loud noises coming from the fan, then you should seriously say goodbye to your fat console asap and trade it in for a new slim.

Sony knows this problem but it's like that for almost every darn electronic (I trade in my fat ps2 for a ps2 slim). It sounds silly if you continue to keep your fat ps3 just for the BC.

mandf4738d ago

Another great piece of crap article. Journalists need to start checking facts before they write an article. PS3 and 360 have had minimal reporting from users on the problem. Too leave out a specific system that is involved to is poor journalism. These smear articles have got to stop. Journalists need start reporting on games and game design. For those that didn't read or visit their site, it's not a PS3 centric website and therefore intentionally left out the problems on the 360 version. If you are going to write an article about video games check your facts in a fair and unbiased manner.

iHEARTboobs4738d ago

We should stop calling these people journalists. I'm sure it's insulting to real journalists out there that do real work.

Silly Mammo4738d ago

Most of these people are bloggers which means it's someone with a computer and an agenda.

iHEARTboobs4738d ago

@b_one

"Bloggers" sounds good to me.

MWong4738d ago (Edited 4738d ago )

That's not my problem with the article, because lower in the article they point out that both PS3 & 360 consoles (slim & bulky) are also being affected. The problem is the overall tone of the article, they are trying to make it sound like it's a PS3 issue only. When it's a RockStar issue.

jrisner4738d ago

douche article....all the idiots cant wait to put sony down these days.

Shazz4738d ago

ive played over 16 hours and not had a single freeze or problem so far , ps3 250gb slim

Mikey Mike4738d ago

I had one freeze, yet I have an occasional lock up in any game I have played since the NES days.

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers14d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken13d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g14d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing14d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H914d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola14d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66914d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle14d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos15d ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola14d ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
