132w ago - Sony's Senior Social Media Specialist Rey Gutierrez is here with details today on the new PS3, PSN and PSP releases including Minis and PlayStation Move titles for next week!

To quote: The Call of Duty franchise returns this week with its seventh title, Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The hype train finally pulls up to the PlayStation 3 promising to deliver a blockbuster experience when you take on the role of an elite special units officer engaging in classified operations and saving the world from destruction -- all in a days work.

Sure, the Call of Duty franchise is popular for its excellent and silky smooth multiplayer, but call me old fashioned, I'm looking forward to its epic story and single player campaign.

The Sly Collection, SingStar Dance and The Fight: Lights Out deliver a triple PlayStation combo this week and promises to make good use of your PlayStation Move controllers when you dance to the beat, or beat someone down until they dance.

132w ago - Following up on his previous Guide to Compile PS3 Homebrew via PSL1GHT, today Scognito posted on Sconsole which details a simple function for printing strings on PS3 for developers.

To quote: PSL1GHT is a fantastic SDK, growing day after day thanks to help of talented developers like phiren, MattP, AerialX and others.

What I need to start porting Scogger is to print some debug information (like screen size, sprites information and such), but unfortunately for me STDOUT and STDERR are redirected to the lv2 TTY interface.

Right now there are two ways I know for printing debug informations:

• using Kammy
• using libcairo font support provided by ps3libraries

Altought these are valid alternatives, they represent a complexity level that is too much for my lazyness: Kammy requires PS3 attached to the router via ethernet cable, plus it prints information to a pc, not to the screen. Most important it needs a peek/poke capable payaload, and my PSJailbreak dongle doesn't have it.

Libcairo is new...

132w ago - Sony's Senior Social Media Specialist Rey Gutierrez has made available a video spotlighting The Fight: Lights Out for PlayStation Move on PS3 today.

To quote: On November 9th you will finally have your opportunity to infiltrate the dark under belly of the city streets and fight your way through merciless opponents that will stop at nothing to keep you from being the top bare-knuckle boxer in The Fight: Lights Out.

Only with the power and precision of the PlayStation Move can you truly unleash uppercuts, elbows and even vicious dirty moves like the Bullcharge, Double Hammer and Elbow Hook with true 1:1 game play.

But don't take my word for it, PlayStation's own Executive Producer, Kyle Shubel gives us a quick jab to the gut when he reveals what you'll expect the moment you first plunge into The Fight: Lights Out in the video below.





Keep an eye out for Danny Trejo. He's Duke, your trainer in The Fight: Lights out. Jeff interviews him, and it's pretty great -- stay tuned for that video next week.
