Sony has pushed out version 3.42 firmware for the PS3 and it’s a mandatory update. According to the Sony post on the Ps3 blog it contains “additional security features”, a little lacking but if you want to continue accessing the PSN and PSN Story you’d better get it downloaded.
The BBC reports that the update closes up a hole which allowed PSJailBreak and PSGroove to run on pirated games. Mathieu Hervais, one of the developers behind PSGroove, told BBC News that it was “safer not to update”.
Below you’ll see a batch of new Killzone 3 screenshots from the multiplayer side of action. There is a minimum of one explosion per screenshot. Sony has filled this quota.

Don't look behind you.. Oh, you looked.
Catching up on the GamesCom stuff, and a little spot of bother with the VGiko host this morning brings us a few great looking screenshots from Motostorm 3: Apocalypse. The destruction looks intense and huge, and the visuals definitely look like they’ve been bumped up since the second.
Keep reading to check them out.

We’ve got a few screenshots off showing the Move controller being used with Heavy Rain. You’ll be swinging your arms around in no time.
Yeah, it’s a little late. I know.


A trailer that’s a little different from the norm showing of InFamous 2. It takes us through a tour of the city.


We’ve got the new teaser trailer for Resistance 3 being developed by Insomniac Games. It doesn’t show much in the way of gameplay or characters but it’s a pretty cool trailer and train ride.
This video also uses a new encoding method so enjoy the even better quality.

Loading...
When ModNation Racers was released it was well received but one thing that kept bringing the game down was the lengthy load times. Today IGN has outlined a few of the things which are being changed in a new patch for the title.
In this they mentioned the following:
Slashed Load Times
Yes, there are still going to be load times, but Sony is reporting that in some cases those loads will be 50 percent faster.
Hopefully this means you’ll spend more time burning rubber.


Comic Con maybe over but we’ve got a new trailer for InFamous 2. It shows its deep roots to the comic world and is brilliantly executed in this short video which sets up the characters and the city.

Die load times!
Guerrilla Games’ Steven Ter Heide spoke to AusGamers in an E3 interview about Killzone 3 and a speak about some of the things that they learnt from community feedback will Killzone 2 and what they’re doing to fix it for their next title.
In the interview Heide said “The loading times are another thing that people commented on, they said the loading times are too long — there’s these loading hiccups in the game as well. As you can see from this build already, those loading times are pretty much gone and we want to get rid of them completely.”
It’s good to see them making good use of that hard drive.
We’ve got a few new(-ish) screens from Guerrilla Games Killzone 3. The game was a huge hit at E3 showing it of in glorious 3D. It’s one of Sony’s biggest games and rightfully so.
