Playstation PS3 Firmware update 3.41

CODBUNKER — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:32:12 +0000

PS3 Firmware Update 3.41 is now live.

As stated on Playstation Blog:

“Firmware update 3.41 will add recommendations for games and videos on PlayStation Store. When you’re browsing through the details of a particular title, you’ll see a new “You May Like” section on the right-hand side. This section lists additional items based on the purchases of other PlayStation Network members who have purchased the item you’re currently looking at.

You can then click on this section to zoom in on the list and scroll the recommended titles.

system software update 3.41 recommendations

This feature is a great way to discover new games that you may not know about, and it’s another step toward making the shopping experience easier and better for you all — similar to the five-star ratings feature we added in the last firmware update. Please note that while the 3.41 update will be released shortly, the recommendations feature on PlayStation Store is slated to go live by the end of July.

In addition to this PS3 update, the next PSP (PlayStation Portable) firmware update (v.6.31) will be coming as well. This is a minor update, and system software stability during use of some PSP format software titles has been improved.”

MW2 Old Lady Easter Egg Underpass

This was tweeted by fourzerotwo and is tooooooo funny!
Check it out!!

*****UPDATE TO POST******

CODBUNKER Believes this video was crafted and not part of the game (aka a fake)
Because it was tweeted by IW’s front man Robert Bowling, I thought at first it may be true,
I have tried it multiple times, and cannot do it. Then if you go to the authors utube page
here is his self description:

“About Me:
Film maker and visual effects artist. Based in the North West of England.
Visual Effects to go, short film production, DVD design and authoring
If you would like to commission me for visual effects, animated logos / titles etc.”

So in other words, it would be easy for a “visual effects artist” to pull this off.
Funny anyway!

PS3 MW2 Update 1.11

CODBUNKER — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 15:21:06 +0000

There is a 16Mb download (not much) of update 1.11 on PS3 for Modern Warfare 2. More than likely this will add the “New Maps available” on bottom screen like before in DLC #1. Then all Map Pack 1 (Stimulus) will fall into the rest of playlist and Map Pack 2 “Resurgence” will have its OWN spot on game types. In other words, more than likely just a shift around, re-organize type stuff. Oh and don’t forget there were supposed to be some games that are “Killstreak Free”, PS3 was also promised Double XP, I am logging on now to check (now that I have updated to 1.11.

Just like I said above:
There is “New Map Pack Available”, two “Barebones Pro” and “Resurgence with and without HC”
That’s the latest at 11:08 EST

MW2 DLC Map Pack 2 “Resurgence” for PS3

CODBUNKER — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:46:18 +0000

Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack 2 “Resurgence” should be out today (July 6, 2010) for the PS3 (Xbox has had it for a month). So far I have not found it in the PSN Store, nor have I seen any tweets from fourzerotwo (Robert Bowling of IW) indicating what time. The last DLC finally went live I think around 6pm EST (New York time) so I expect it to be around then for DLC 2 for the very latest though follow: CODBUNKER and fourzerotwo on Twitter, if you don’t have twitter you can always see important tweets on CODBUNKER at the right side of page—->

We’ll let you know ASAP! Oh, I almost forgot……follow playstation also on twitter. Between those suggested you will not miss it the moment it comes out, LOL.

Side note: Last time Map Pack was released it didn’t show up in the PSN store, yet you could search “Stimulus” and it showed up, so for those REALLY impatient peeps, try searching “Resurgence” over and over, LOL…………might work.

No Zombies in COD7 Black Ops?

CODBUNKER — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 00:28:17 +0000

There will be NO Zombies in Treyarch’s Highly anticipated Call of Duty Black Ops (COD7). Before you get yourself into a tissy……….There is no definitive proof YET, but read on and tell me what YOU think!
I Discussed in this in an earlier POST and I now believe it will be Option 2. Treyarch will release COD7 with a “MW2 Spec Op” type Coop for 4 players….maybe calling it “Black Ops” and Sledgehammer Games is currently working on COD Zombies. Here is why I think that. (I still would love to see it in COD7 two games in one)
I’ve been following Glen Schofield (Sledgehammer Studios) on twitter and then it hit me. Just some subtle post of his just rang out like a cow bell. I will post these and also some other info gathered from interviews with Glen. If you do not know him he was formerly with EA doing Visceral Games and CapCom (aka Dead Space and Resident Evil). Interesting backround huh….. Also, Zombies became popular enough to stand on its own, and Activision brought in SledgeHammer to “Bring in a new audience”. Anyways I will let you draw you own conclusions just do some research on Glen and follow him on twitter as well as SHGames and CODBUNKER for future clues.
Here is just SOME of the data that I have collected that forces me to believe that SH will do Zombies:

INTERVIEWS

In an interview with former Capcom Digital Studios’ Art Director, Glen Schofield, we found out that Capcom held a contest to re-name Bio Hazard, the original Japanese title. An employee at Capcom Digital Studios submitted the winning entry “Resident Evil.”

Interview from RelyonHorror.com

Glen A. Schofield: Dead Space director & General Manager of EA Redwood Shores

Dead Space Horror (now rely on Horror): How did you get started in the industry?

Glen Schofield: I started as an artist. My first degree is in art and I’ve been drawing and painting my whole life. Believe it or not my first game was “Barbie Gamegirl”. They all thought it would be funny to give the new guy a Barbie game. Joke was on them-the game sold like crazy and I became the art director.

dsH: What is your favourite enemy/weapon and character of Dead Space?

Glen: I love the ripper-the saw blade you shoot out. Its graphic as hell and just messy. I also like the boot stomp. I find that highly satisfying to walk around and stomp the crap out of things. Enemy is a tough one, they all have their charms but its probably the divider just because he turns into so many little creatures and his paired kill on Isaac is great. My favorite character is of course Isaac.

dsH: Finally, is there anything you want to share with the fanbase, a comment/advice/anecdote/correction/critism?

Glen: I want to say “Thank you”! It has been a tremendous year for Dead Space and we are so lucky to have so much support from the industry and the fans. I can’t thank you all enough for the fan mail, the great compliments and even the criticisms that always help us make games better. All we want to do is make something great and something that people will enjoy playing. That’s what makes me and the team get out of bed each day. We appreciate you all for letting us make a game that has dismemberment at its core, exploding puss filled sacks, babies with tentacles and sick freakin’ pregnant monsters. Man, that’s just fun to put into words.

WHAT SAY YOU?
