Free Points Saturday – May 19th

Sun, 20 May 2012 02:15:50 +0000

Yes, it has been a while since my last Free Points Saturday post ( February 4th , in fact). Since I have been busy with numerous other things, I have only been able to get my *** on here occasionally, but not enough to be a good Community Manager, so I apologize for that. Words not enough for ya? How about a bribe: some free points! Given the time between FPS’s, I won’t be making the points for this a multiple of the number of weeks missed (that would be ridiculous, really). Instead, I’ll go ahead and make it an even 1000 points. How does that sound? For the first 20 people? I wish I could block staff members from entering these, though. Oly and EdEN are greedy as hell with these things. Anyway, the answer to this one has 4 WORDS (no numbers or special characters). Good luck! In this book, a spin off to a game series, we see the main character, along with his long time friend, travel to numerous destinations like Egypt and Greece, uncovering secrets to a long-hidden mystery. The following 10 members got points for anwering correctly. mowmow SubMonkey Hestar Nikibaby219 JD chronorayven Ishida Zero The_Nmac

Starhawk Beta Is Going Public Tuesday Jan 17th!

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:06:10 +0000

The Starhawk beta is going public on the 17th! The public testing will allow the team to work out bugs and server issues as well as allow the public to get on what has otherwise been a closed beta up until now. Who gets in, and when? (North American Starhawk Beta schedule) PlayStation Plus January 17: All PlayStation Plus subscribers and all Private Beta participants (who haven’t erased their original Private Beta files). You can learn more about PS Plus here. Starhawk UC3 Voucher January 31: UNCHARTED 3 Beta key holders. These voucher codes were found inside of North American copies of UNCHARTED 3. FB February 7: Visit GameStop and PlayStation on Facebook and see how you can get early voucher codes. IGN February 14: IGN.com (details to be revealed soon) LOGO-PSN stacked vert pos copy copy February 21: Everyone with a PlayStation Network account…in other words, everyone who wants in, gets Beta FAQ If I was in the Private Beta, am I in the Public Beta? If you were in the Private Beta, you are in the Public Beta for the duration. DO NOT delete the Private Beta file from your PS3 or else you won’t have access. Worse, you will be…unhappy. Is this a demo? This is NOT a demo. You can expect to find bugs and the vast majority of the game features planned for the final game will not be implemented. Of course, many of you will not read this sentence and will expect the Beta to be final quality. We ask that the community help itself and remind players that this is a test. It happens to be a pretty fun test, but it is a test regardless. Keep an open mind and we’ll continue to regularly update the Beta with changes based directly on your feedback. Remember when you were a kid and you wanted to help make games? This is your chance! When does the Public Beta end? When the game is good and ready! Honestly, when we’ve learned all we can and feel we can deliver the best product to you. Basically, sometime after February 21st, BUT it’s our recommendation that you do not delay joining or you might find your window of opportunity passing you by. What’s different from the Private Beta? We’re going to reveal more about the content updates soon enough. Patience, Padawan… Will you test out the solo campaign? Nope! The Public Beta is solely based around the multiplayer experience. While we have a robust solo story campaign in the final game, we can get our testing done elsewhere for that. How do you send us feedback? This is very important…to give us feedback, please visit http://us.playstation.com/psn/ and use your PSN login to enter the Beta forums. If you are in the Beta, you can enter the forums. Remember though…with Beta testing comes Beta responsibility. We are on these forums hourly looking for bug info, so please use this. We need your help and this is the best way to give us info.

Free Points Saturday | Nov. 12th

Sat, 12 Nov 2011 23:48:11 +0000

Jay, your friendly neighborhood Community Manager, here. As you may have noticed, I have been inactive for a few weeks due to a bad case of sciatica and not having the money for insurance, or a way of getting it taken care of (just self-administered physical therapy). Although it is still going to affect me for little while longer, it is easing up a bit finally. With that said, I would like to thank Tosh for doing these in my absence and congratulate the winners. As for this week’s trivia: This game was originally meant to be a PS2 sequel to the Resident Evil franchise, but during the prototype phase, it was deemed too much of a departure from the RE formula (and the survival horror genre in general) but was renamed and kept in production anyway. What was the name of this game? 150 points for the first 10 people/correct answers! Answer in the box after the jump. 3 words. Sorry, a little too late! Try your chance at Free Points Saturday next week! The answer this week was devil may cry. The following 10 members got points for anwering correctly.

PS3Blog.net Moving To A New Server!

Thu, 10 Nov 2011 20:37:51 +0000

As you may have noticed for the past couple weeks. The site has gone down off and on and you got greeted with a error message from CloudFlare. This has NOTHING to do with CloudFlare. Even if I disabled it you would just get a different error message. Thank you all for being patient lately. It’s the current shared hosting not being able to handle us during peak times. So, it’s time for us to upgrade to a VPS server! I’ll put up a “Site Under Maintenance” screen when the move is in the final stages. Which will happen late tonight most likely.
