Sony rebuts BBC PlayStation claim

2009-09-18T16:13:00.003+01:00

Sony has rebutted claims made by the BBC programme Watchdog that its PlayStation 3 (PS3) consoles suffer from a manufacturing fault.

The programme spoke to PS3 owners who experienced the "yellow light of death" - after which the video game consoles did not work.

Sony argued that the small Watchdog study did not support firm conclusions about a potential manufacturing fault.

It also criticised the programme's approach as a "stunt".

"We think it is highly unfair to suggest that from an installed base of 2.5 million that the numbers you mention somehow are evidence of a 'manufacturing defect'," wrote Ray Maguire, senior vice-president and managing director of Sony UK, in a letter to the programme ahead of the broadcast.

"The phrase 'yellow light of death' has been adopted by certain members of the online community to describe the situation in which PS3 systems have shut down following the illumination of the yellow light on the PS3's front panel," the letter stated.

"The yellow indicator is simply a non-specific fault indicator that can be triggered in a range of different circumstances."

Into the voids

The Watchdog producers approached three commercial repair technicians, who examined the faulty units and said they displayed a high number of "voids" - faults in the solder that connect the electronic components.

In the letter, Mr Maguire said the fact that those voids were not exhibited by all of the faulty units presented to the programme was an indication that they were not the source of a definitive manufacturing problem.

The Watchdog team set up its PlayStation Repair Action Team, or Prat - a clinic for faulty PS3s outside Sony's London offices, advertising that they were offering a service that Sony charges for.

Mr Maguire's letter called the segment a "stunt" that "treats with inappropriate levity an issue which may do serious damage to...the Sony and PS3 brands".

A BBC spokesperson defended the programme, saying that "Watchdog investigated this item having been contacted by 155 viewers who had experienced problems with their PS3".

"We presented a fair and accurate account of their stories, using expert advice and we broadcast Sony's response."

Since the programme was broadcast on Thursday night, the BBC has been contacted by a further 265 PS3 owners experiencing the yellow-light fault.

Sony told the Watchdog programme that "less than half a percent" of the 2.5 million consoles it has sold exhibited the "yellow light" phenomenon when they failed.

The programme quoted the figure as 12,500 consoles - half a percent of that 2.5 million figure - but a spokesperson for Sony said the number is less than that.

However, Sony declined to give BBC News a more exact figure, citing a risk to its competitive advantage.

Oh dear Not all is goldern in the PS3 world

Thanks to the BBC and watch dog for this little gem!

Oh Dear!!!!!!

NEW MAPS:
A quick description of some of the new maps we've played...
Afghan: A rocky desert area with the ruin of a jumbo jet in the middle.
We'd avoid hanging around here for too long as it's surrounded by some high cliffs and bunkers that snipers will love.
We suspect most of the action will come at the top and bottom of the map where caves and ledges make everything a bit more intense.

Favela: A claustrophobic shanty town broadly divided into high-up rooftops and narrow ground level passageways.

Highrise: A more unusual urban setting, Highrise comprises of a half-finished highrise building with interior and exterior areas and a series of metal beams high above that can be used a sniper points. If you're clever it's possible to work your way from one side of the map to the other without being detected to launch a surprise attack from behind.

PERKS
Perks are now upgradeable - each perk has its own 'challenge'.
When you've completed it you unlock a pro-version of the perk.
There are obviously a whole load of new perks but so far we've seen:
Bling: This gives you the ability to use two attachments on a single weapon, ie. you can tote the red dot sight and the grenade launcher at the same time.
Scavenger: Using this you grab ammo from enemy corpses automatically, ensuring you never run out of grenades.
Commando: Rubbing in the humiliation of a melee kill even further, the Commando perk gives you longer range on your stabbing attacks.

KILL STREAKS
Fist-pumping when you unleash one, potentially devastating when someone unleashes one on you, kill-streaks are back, upgraded and renewed. As well as the unlockable AC130, already teased by Infinity Ward via a much-analysed YouTube video, these are your basic kill streaks:
Get 3 kills: UAV - So how's this different to the last UAV from CoD 4 you might well ask? Ah, well you see, you can shoot this little bugger down.
Get 4 kills: Counter UAVGet 4 kills: Care Package - By calling in an airdrop with a smoke grenade, a random reward is jettisoned to you. We've seen it give out a simple ammo refill and an instant advanced kill streak. Which was nice. Of course, these are open to rest of the players on the map too, and show up on their radars. The tactical side of this is they can be used as cannon-fodder magnets.
Get 5 kills: Sentry GunGet 5 kills: The Predator Missile - This fly by wire missile not only lays the smackdown on its targets but also gives you a brief aerial view of the battleground.
Get 6 kills: Precision airstrike
Get 7 kills: Attack helicopterGet
11 kills: AC130

DEATH STREAKS
These are aimed at assisting less able players (read n00bs) and are the opposite of the Kill Streaks.
If a player dies four times in a row without scoring a kill they are awarded a bonus (which has to be unlocked first).
Here's the two we saw. (We died three times on PURPOSE, of course):
Copycat: This is the first you unlock and gives the player the chance to steal his killer's class for one round. Now they can see what it's like to have a good weapon.
Painkiller: Gives players an extra ten seconds of health after they respawn

SECONDARY WEAPONS
You are no longer limited to a pistol as your secondary weapon.
Available to you are a selection of machine pistols, shotguns and rocket launchers. We can see this pleasing (spit) career snipers the most, as now they have a more powerful option if they get caught in close-quarters.
Those rocket launchers come in useful for blowing UAVs AC130s and choppers out of the sky too.

ATTACHMENTS
These no longer refer to just red dot sights and scopes (which are still there), in MW2 attachments refer to 'skills' as well.
The already revealed 'Akimbo' attachment for example allows a player to dual-wield weapons, and 'Rapid Fire' which is kind of self-explanatory.
Suppression has also been made available on sniper rifles

NEW SWAG
To up the ante in the war zone Infinity Ward has added a number of new weapons that you'll be able to use in your special grenade slot.
We can see advanced players becoming experts with these very quickly so our advice is get in there early:
Semtex Sticky grenades (Anyone remember how good the sticky bombs were in TimeSplitters 2? No? Oh.)
A throwing knife (Getting killed by this is going to suck.)
A blast shield (Offers greater protection from explosions)
Tactical insertion (Sounds like it should be painful, but actually grants you the ability to chose your own respawn point. Useful for nobbling the person who just killed you from behind).

RIOT SHIELDS
By swapping out your primary weapon for a riot shield you can completely change your strategy. You're limited to using the riot shield as a defensive wall (it takes a fair few bullets) to distract and hold up an enemy but the advantage is you can can cave their heads in with it as well.
If you swap to your secondary weapon the riot shield is hoisted onto your back to act as an ass protector.
Incidentally, using the riot shield in objective based matches like capture the flag still gets your team points, even if you are just using it as a distraction method rather than to kill enemies

CALLSIGNS
Callsigns are a new way of rewarding players. Acting as a kind of big customizable plaque, they pop up when you get a kill or perform a specific action. Callsigns include a title, an insignia (not tied to your level), a background (there are loads of these to unlock) your gamertag and rank. More on these when we've explored them a bit.

HOST MIGRATION
This should stop those baby players quitting out and ruining the game for everyone else. Now games won't terminated if the host switches of their machine. A small, but fairly significant improvement.

Thanks C&VG for the heads up

Modern Warfare 2-themed Xbox 360: 250GB HDD, wireless controllers, game

2009-09-16T09:36:00.002+01:00

Microsoft and Infinity Ward just announced the availability of a Modern Warfare 2-themed Xbox 360 console at a press event in Los Angeles. Incl

uded in this "limited edition" $399 package is: a 250GB Xbox 360 console, with the requisite Modern Warfare 2 markings (the so-called "Super Elite"); two wireless controllers, presumably also apparently not Modern Warfare 2-themed (though, notably, not Mad Catz's officially licensed wired controllers); and, lastly, a "standard edition" copy of Modern Warfare 2.

No matter how you do the math, that's a good deal. As most of us know, the only thing that moves more consoles than "a good deal" is "a good deal" that includes the words "modern,"

"warfare," and "two" somewhere in the title.

Major Nelson says it's the "standard edition" of the game

yes yes yes

Vivid Entertainment, the largest adult video production company in the world, is drafting a proposal to Sony to distribute porn on PS3's PlayStation Network.

Boss Steve Hirsch told Kotaku that he would consider Xbox 360 as a smut-peddling platform if Sony can be persuaded to come around.

He pointed out that Sony, after initial resistance, has allowed adult video Blu-ray discs to be released, and has recently permitted on-demand HD porn to appear on the Japanese PSN via local producer DDM.TV.

Xbox 360 Slim is a definite, say analyst

2009-08-24T12:54:00.000+01:00

Monday 24-Aug-2009 10:59 AM Apparently the slimmer console "is a question of when not if"DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole says that a slim-line version of the Xbox 360 is "a question of when not if", and says it's likely to happen next year.

"I think it is a question of when not if. However, the when part is a big uncertainty... rumours have been going on for a long time, said Cole in the wake of the official reveal of Sony's new skinny console.

"As cost efficiencies allow smaller and more reliable is always a good thing. However, you also have something like Project Natal which could also tie in with hardware redesigns.

"There are a lot of questions Microsoft must weigh internally and there are always going to arguments on both sides of the fence around timing. So I don't know, but in our DFC forecasts we anticipated a major redesign in 2010... so I guess that was our bet," he told Industry Gamers.

No multiplayer beta for Modern Warfare 2

2009-08-20T09:46:00.001+01:00

Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has given the final word on a Modern Warfare 2 beta, saying it's not out of the realm of possibility, but also not very likely. "While no Public Beta is currently announced we do plan on running an extensive Closed Beta among Infinity Ward, Activision, and possibly first party partners worldwide ... once the internal beta is completed, if for any reason we feel we didn't receive the feedback, address the issues, or have the result we expect, we would consider pushing forward with a public one. However at this point only an internal Closed Beta is planned." And that's that! ... or is it?! (We're pretty sure it is.)
We know you had a great time testing Call of Duty 4's multiplayer component before the final game launched, so we're sad to note CVG's report that Modern Warfare 2 will not go the same route as its predecessor. An Activision spokesperson confirmed to the outlet that there will be no multiplayer beta for the game.

October The 9th the Best will be here soon

Map Pack 3 Announced - Coming this August!

2009-07-21T10:00:00.000+01:00

Building on the success of Map Pack 1 and Map Pack 2, we’ve decided to continue support for CoDWaW and announce the upcoming release of Map Pack 3. Today, we’re happy to bring you the first details.
Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 further expands the awesome COD multiplayer experience with four brand new maps.
Fight for ocean territory in "Battery," an armored island surrounded by anti-ship mines and shore to ship cannons. Watch out for sniper fire as you defend Russia's most coveted resource in "Revolution," and keep a sharp eye out through the dense, overcast city streets in "Breach," set at Berlin's historic Brandenburg Gate. Zombies return in all their undead glory with "Der Riese" (Zombie Factory), a Nazi research facility featuring the weapon upgrading Pack A Punch Machine. Use the teleporters to escape in an instant and fight to the death in pursuit of the map's 10 new Achievements/Trophies.
Map Pack 3 is slated for release this August. Keep an eye out here at CoDWaW.com for more information regarding Map Pack 3, and follow @JD_2020 on Twitter for the latest news as it breaks!

Infinity Ward helping design Modern Warfare 2 controller

2009-07-21T09:58:00.001+01:00

Infinity Ward community guru Robert Bowling issued an interesting tweet this afternoon -- one that suggests the developer is consulting (with who we don't yet know) on a Modern Warfare 2 controller. Before you start envisioning a fully functioning M4 carbine to go with your night vision goggles, know that the pad surely sounds of the nothing-too-fancy variety. Specifically, we know it'll have analog thumbsticks, as Bowling asks followers of his Twitter feed whether they prefer concave (innie) or convex (outie) stick-tops.We asked Bowling about the controller, and while he couldn't offer any solid details, he did confirm it "isn't being manufactured by [Infinity Ward] or [Activision]," and that the call for votes was meant to "get the opinions of the people who will actually be using it to help settle a debate." You can cast your vote by sending a tweet to @fourzerotwo.

Modern Warfare 2: Prestige Edition includes working night vision goggles, original Call of Duty for PSN/XBLA

2009-07-14T09:03:00.001+01:00

What on Earth? Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling has made a YouTube video of himself unboxing the absolutely epic "prestige edition" of Modern Warfare 2 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

When we say "epic," we're talking "it includes working night vision goggles" epic.

Also in the box is a voucher code for downloading the previously rumored PSN/XBLA version of the original Call of Duty.

This plus a steel game case, art book and a custom molded plastic head for displaying your working night vision goggles on. (But of course!)

There's no mention of a retail price for the set, but we can't imagine it'll be anything less than stupid crazy expensive. We're also working to find out when and if Activision intends to distribute the downloadable remake of the CoD that started it all

GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED ON INSIDE XBOX!

2009-07-09T09:20:00.004+01:00

Hi all, See below, Please leave your questions in the comments section or contact Ben direct on the email addresses in this post, try not to take the piss too much because if they're relevent and useable OXM Magazine will be using the questions in an upcoming interview which will find it's way onto your console!

Hope you're well. I have an opportunity to interview Gearbox's Randy Pitchford about Borderlands this Friday and am opening up the questions to the Xbox community. Would it be possible for you to ask your readers if they have any questions they'd like to ask?

They can email them to me oxmmonobrow@futurenet.co.uk or put them on our twitter.com/oxmuk I realise this might be too short notice but it'd be good fun if you can do it. The community interview will be appearing on Inside Xbox in the near future so it's a good opportunity. :)

Modern Warfare 2 co-op is for two players

2009-06-24T09:46:00.000+01:00

Infinity Ward has confirmed that Modern Warfare 2 co-op will be limited to two players, and will not be linked with the story campaign at all.

"Two player seemed to be the magic number for co-op. That's when it stayed really fun and intense without becoming a clusterf*** of things.
We just found that two-players was the most fun," community manager Robert Bowling explained to VideoGamer.

"We don't do co-op in our story because we're crafting a very specific experience and we don't want to ruin that by cramming co-op into it. We take the moments that work really well with co-op, we bring them out and we put them in Special Ops."

Previous instalment Call of Duty: World at War had co-op for four people, both during the campaign and as part of a bonus Zombie Mode.

Special Ops for Bowling and Modern Warfare 2, however, is about "playing over and over again, trying to get a better time".
"It's about challenging a friend," he said.

Modern Warfare 2 launches for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on 10th November.

World at War Map Pack 2 cracks one million downloads

2009-06-19T10:23:00.001+01:00

Map Pack 2 has already exceeded one million downloads in its first weekMap Pack 2 has already

exceeded one million downloads in its first week.
And that week isn't even a full week, running from 11th June to the 14th June, as Map Pack 2 was released on a Thursday.The number also includes PlayStation3 downloads but regardless, it's still an staggering total. When you consider DLC tends to trail off after the first batch is released - which we've already had with Map Pack 1 - it just makes that number seem even more impressive.

Creepy, Ugly & Annoying (Aliens, Predators & Marines)

2009-05-27T12:52:00.002+01:00

Founded in 1992, Rebellion Software became known worldwide shortly after the release of Alien vs. Predator for the Atari Jaguar, one of best games ever released for that system. Published by Atari, this first-person shooter took place entirely on a Colonial Marine Training base and allowed players play as one of three characters: Private Lance Lewis of the Colonial Marines whose mission is to find a way to self-destruct the base; an Alien that had to protect the Queen from the Marines and the Predators; a Predator whose mission was to kill the Alien Queen.

Fast forward to 2009 and following the release of two feature films that depicted Aliens fighting against Predators, SEGA has obtained the publishing rights to release a video game based on the Twentieth Century Fox’s Aliens universe. The Japanese publisher has hired the creators of the original 1994 Aliens versus Predator hoping the British developer will once again set a new standard in multiplayer gaming. Judging by the first screenshots and info revealed in two European magazines, there are chances Rebellion will succeed once more.

world-exclusive preview in Nuts Magazine has revealed that this new Aliens vs Predator video game takes place in a distant, Earth-like planet thirty years after the first Alien movie. The planet has been subjugated by the nasty Xenomorphs and for that reason Colonial Marines have been dispatched to exterminate the parasitic creatures. With that war going on, guess who arrive to have their own party?

The preview in the British magazine has confirmed what every AVP fan expected: the game will feature three species-specific single-player campaigns plus three-way Alien vs. Predator vs. Human online multiplayer modes.

A preview on Spanish magazine PlayManía has the very first screenshots of the game and we must say they look fantastic. Lighting is superb and it helps set the frightening atmosphere you’d expect in those dark corridors infected of Aliens. The geometry and textures of the models look photorealistic and the game looks like a Twentieth Century Fox AvP film.
PlayManía confirms that Colonial Marines will be armed to the teeth and will carry lot of gadgets such as IR scanners to help detect movement, while Predators will have the ability to cloak and see through different visual frequencies, including infrared to track humans and a specifically tuned EM Field Detector used to track Aliens. The latter will be the fastest of the three species and they will be able to move through ceilings and walls, watch in the dark, fall from high altitudes without suffering damages, with their weapons being their claws, deadly tail and their acid blood.

We’ll have to wait until E3 next month to find out more about the single player campaign and multiplayer modes. Scheduled for release in 2010, Aliens vs. Predator is the third SEGA Aliens franchise game, which will be the first to launch in the series.

There is an awesome preview in theis month's OXM, get it!

thanks to xbox.com for the info

Red Faction Demo Smashes it's way onto Xbox Live

2009-05-27T10:07:00.003+01:00

The Red Faction Guerrilla demo (on & offline) is available and certainly looks the business! Personally I have only played the offline (campaign) demo and to begin with thought it was a pretty standard shooter, reminding me a little of Lost Planet but with the temperature dial turned up... after a while it revealed itself to be a complete riot! Smash everything! The map preview at the end of the demo suggests a giant open world reminicent of Far Cry 2. With any luck the multiplayer will be equally as impressive - team deathmatches with completely destructable environments should make for some pretty crazy battles! This game is right on my list!

well that's how i skate anyway..... but this looks cool, or I hope it is, there is always a chance it will suck a hell of a lot. Let's hope the people who make "Tony" have learnt alot from what EA have done with the "Skate" games, which, are light-years ahead of the Tony games and are games for skaters, not gamers..... if you know what I mean?

Modern Warfare 2 blown wide open

2009-05-13T09:53:00.001+01:00

Modern Warfare 2 takes players to the snow-capped peaks of Russian mountains, across the deserts of Afghanistan and into the streets of Rio de Janeiro, and introduces a new co-operative Special Forces mode to back up the single-player campaign.

That's all according to a 10-page cover feature in the latest issue of US magazine Game Informer, which says little about the game's online elements but details plans for various missions in the story mode.

"The gameplay is wide open and has a lot of variety," Infinity Ward president Jason West told Game Informer. "In terms of the story... well, any good story is on rails." The game is set against the backdrop of continuing Russian instability, with a new baddy, Makarov, using Zakhaev's demise as justification for naughtiness.

Players will have to deal with the realities of flawed intelligence, however, and missions will evolve as a result. In one example, the player and a computer-controlled version of "Soap" MacTavish assault a mountain base in a blizzard with the intention of blowing it up, but then the player spies a satellite in a building and has to nick some information about it before escaping.

Rigging explosives involves creeping through the blizzard, which dramatically reduces visibility, and using a mixture of a heartbeat sensor and MacTavish's thermal vision to either evade or neutralise guards. Once the jig is inevitably up, there's an escape on snowmobiles.

Other missions include hunting down an arms dealer in Rio, which evolves into a running gunfight with militia among fleeing civilians, and traipsing across rope bridges through hidden valleys in the vast open of Afghanistan, which is all rendered at the game's requisite 60 frames-per-second. Then it's back to Russia, apparently, to try and disable AA guns interfering with UAV Predator targeting.

Special Forces mode, meanwhile, is "in the spirit of Mile High Club", according to West, who told Game Informer that it will use tricky scenarios that didn't make it into the single-player game and thus have no relationship with the difficulty curve.

"[Co-op] made a lot more sense here," West said, explaining that the levels were designed with two players in mind. Co-op tweaks include an on-screen arrow pointing to the other player, and a mini-map highlighting your relative locations.

There's no word on competitive online multiplayer, or whether Special Forces is playable over the internet, but West did tell Game Informer that the studio likes "making people famous", and that it hopes to convince Microsoft and Sony to let it tweak variables like spawn logic without issuing a full patch.

Finally, West addressed a couple of criticisms of COD4, saying the team is "actively trying to eliminate" the issue of endlessly respawning enemies, which was based on the way scripting responded to your movement through the level. He also said he was "very happy with Modern Warfare 1 and the length of it".

Renders of DJ Hero controller

2009-05-07T14:12:00.001+01:00

The Twitter account @DJHero has posted what are allegedly the first images of the DJ Hero controller.

Joystiq are currently following up with Activision to confirm the authenticity of the account and the images. In the meantime, feel free to give opinions on the design.

Update: Although we've yet to receive official word from Activision, a recent press release from Activision's UK PR firm included the images.

Weapon Specs

2009-05-07T11:40:00.002+01:00

Simply put we have the most advanced simulated laser system available. Don't be hoodwinked into what other operators may tell you, they lie!Our gun frames are very realistic and expensive, they weigh and function in very much the same way as their real steel counterparts.

Ammunition:
Ammo is loaded using real magazines. This feature is really cool as the magazine itself remembers how much ammo it's holding. So if you use half a mag and then throw it to your buddy the ammo inside will not change. Ammo is reloaded for every game and it's free of charge.

Loading The Rifle:
When you insert a loaded magazine you will need to charge it. This is done by racking back the charging lever, just like the real deal. Once a round is loaded you can fire it. If you remove the magazine there will still be a single round in the barrel which can be fired. After that it's that nasty dead man's click!

Firing:
There are 3 fire settings that are controlled by the fire selector switch
Safe - this will prevent the trigger from working 
Auto - This will fire all the rounds in your magazine whilst depressed
Semi - Single shot mode

Aiming:
Each rifle has a basic sight attached. Your Ghost Leaders will teach you the basics just before your game. Upgrades can be hired on site so you can pimp your rifle and improve your reaction time by fitting a reflex sight.

Range:
A massive 1,500 feet has been our maximum shot distance to date during medium daylight conditions. Range is always influenced by the weather. Rain, snow, mist and very bright sunlight will have a direct effect and reduce the range. But never to a degree that will hinder the game play.

Laser:
There's no laser in them, so the product is 100% eye safe. The system uses a special optics tube to transmit a coded signal. This is a direct beam so no knowledge of windage or elevation techniques are required. Good marksmanship on the other hand is a must to be able to hit a target at great distance.

Freedom:
Each rifle is 100% wireless. No stupid cables are attached between you and your rifle.

Hits and FX:
When you hit another player their life allocation is reduced. When you get shot your life is deducted. The guns play loud sound samples to mimic the real deal. When you get killed your weapon system shuts down until you can be re-spawned by a Ghost Leader.

Near Miss:
If another player fires at you and misses the shot will generate a sound sample of a bullet (lead wasp) flying right pass you. Makes you keep ya head down!

Sony grabs Ghostbusters from Atari

2009-05-06T10:51:00.001+01:00

Sony Computer Entertainment will now be publishing Terminal Reality's Ghostbusters title in a surprise deal signed with Atari today, according to GamesIndustry.biz.

The game is set for a June 19 release alongside the Sony Pictures film, but only on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 platforms.

They will have a period of exclusivity lasting several months until the PSP edition is launched.

It is unclear exactly what will happen to the Xbox 360 version of the game, although GamesIndustry.biz understands that Atari may look to publish it later on.

This will be the third publisher within a year for the Ghostbusters game. The former Vivendi title was dropped by Activision in the merger last summer, before subsequently being picked up by Atari.
