Our good pal and forum friend, AdventWolf, tipped us off about this little bit of tech news. Jumping straight in, for a few years this type of 3D technology has been being developed – originally targeting the PC gaming scene through Nvidia. The technology released was dubbed, “Geforce 3D Vision“. Interestingly enough, for those who don’t know, the PS3’s graphics processor, the “RSX”, is created by Nvidia, so this type of 3D technology has only been an earshot away from being used with the PS3. It was just a matter of time. Now, it seems, that technology may become a new feature with the upcoming firmware release, 3.20. Currently at firmware 3.15, if speculation holds true, it shouldn’t be long before people are able to download a simple firmware update to possibly take hold of some great extra graphical features.
The downside? Yes, there is a downside. The downside is that you’re going to need a 120hz television/ computer monitor in order to experience this extra feature – something only the big spenders currently have access to. The monitor will need to be a native 120hz screen unless you purchase something like a Mitsubishi DLP monitor which come with the necessary hardware to boot. The DLP TV’s may only need to be set to 60hz as well even though they support 120hz and overall may support higher resolutions (1680×1050 for a standard 120hz LCD compared to 1920×1080 for a DLP HDTV). I suppose it may also be considered to be a downside that you will need to wear 3D glasses also – something which some people may not appreciate.
For now, most of this is rumor and speculation, but now that this information is coming mostly from developers that have hands-on access to the newest firmware update, this news seems pretty likely to be an upcoming release that may add some extra functionality to your PS3.

We’re terribly sorry for the recent downtime the site has incurred, but we’ve been hard at work to bring the site back up. We’ve had issues with a few things including hosting issues as well as a bit extra, which I’ve outlined in our forum, but we’re back now and we’re working hard towards being better than ever before. Keep your eyes peeled for a forum update within the next few days that will include a section for average members to post news for the website in. That news can be taken and posted up by a staff member, giving full credits to the user, of course, and will be a great way that the community can take part in making the site a better place.
Also, it’s HIGHLY advised to enter the Brewology Network through www.Brewology.com instead of using one of the mirrors like WiiBrew or PSPBrew because we’re going to be adding news posts that are specific to the Brewology page itself about the latest tech trends and what-not and the only way to see such information is to enter the site through www.Brewology.com. Doing this will also filter the news from every aspect of our site into one convenient page for you to view! So please, if you haven’t already, make sure to add the Brewology page to your bookmarks or homepage or just plain enter it in when accessing the site.
Thanks for everything folks. Again, sorry for the downtime, but welcome back to the Brew! |

Pretty, huh? I think so too. Sony released the silver-colored Dualshock 3 controllers earlier this year in the U.S. and other parts of the world and white was released a while back. I ordered in a white controller off of eBay around Christmas of last year nad it looks great for you guys who haven’t seen a different colored controller than black. Sony stated that they will be released around October but no word yet on pricing. My guess is about $50 USD like the other colors.

A few days ago Kojima put up what seemed to be a simple flash teaser, showing only a grassy field under a thick blanket of clouds, with a fence and sparse forest on the right and left. Now that the first countdown has been reached, it looks like a new one is counting down. As well as the clouds are moving much faster and there is lightning and thunder in the background, and a mysterious number or letter 5/S. What caught my attention was that “Raiden” in Japanese means “Thunder and Lightning!” But for right now we will have to wait until we actually find out what it means. But right now it doesn’t look like its ending any time soon. Many people have been going through all of the source code of the flash and it looks like the countdown will continue. 5/18 (Today), 5/22 (This timer ends, new one starts), 5/27 (Timer #3), 5/30 (Timer #4), and 6/1 (First Day of E3, also Microsoft Press Conference.) But don’t get your hopes up 360 Fan boys, Hideo Kojima himself said there will not be a game / remake of a game for the 360. So right now we are just going to have to wait it out!

Square Enix producer Yoshinore Kitase has told VideoGamers.com that Square Enix has “no plan” to release a disc-based demo for Final Fantasy XIII in the States. The demo, bundled with certain copies of the Blu-ray release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete, thrust PS3 to the top of the Japanese sales charts, and became the best-selling anime Blu-ray in Japan. While including a demo with the upcoming US release of the movie seems like a no-brainer, Kitase explained that a PS3-exclusive demo would be unfair to the Western audience that’s also expecting an Xbox 360 demo. “We are going to carry on with the project alongside the Xbox version, so we really can’t just make it available only for the PS3,” he explained. Kitase then noted that the company “would like to check” on the possibility of a downloadable demo. We’re certain the logistics behind delivering a 5GB demo to the PSN/XBL masses will be quite difficult to figure out.

Remember VidZone? You probably don’t, seeing as we haven’t heard anything about the music video service for the PS3 since it was announced at the Leipzig Game Convention last year. It’s not dead, though. The service is ready to go live this summer in the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Australia. VidZone will be a completely free, though ad-supported, way of watching music videos on demand. It will allow you to create playlists of streaming videos either from your PS3 itself or from your PSP via remote play. The service will feature “thousands of music videos and live concert videos, as well as behind the scenes, interviews and making of footage.” There’s no word on how often the service will be updated, but we would hope that more content is added on a fairly regular basis. VidZone is Europe and Australia exclusive, with seemingly no plans to bring it to the US.

This Thursday, May 6, is the release date for the digital release of Patapon 2. It’s also the day on which you can show off your love for Patapon clothing within Home. They’ll be available from the Threads store in the mall, free or not, we don’t know yet. Acting as walking billboards is one thing, without having to pay for the pleasure. Check it out this Thursday on your local PS Home store. Source: PSP Fanboy |

Capcom is going to make its PlayStation Network presence a lot more robust as it begins releasing ports of PS1 titles and providing downloadable versions of previous PSP titles throughout the year. The company spoke with Capcom’s Chris Kramer, who let us know that the company would be listening to what the community wants and figuring out internally what titles to release but don’t expect any of them to involve licensing shenanigans along the lines of Marvel vs. Capcom. “We’ll definitely be looking at a lot of titles that have things like Street Fighter and Resident Evil in the title,” Kramer said. “We’re thinking about putting together a long list of the titles we’re looking at, and then releasing it on Capcom Unity and having people vote on them. Ultimately we’re looking at bringing between 20 and 40 titles to the PSN over the next several months.“

With titles like WipEout, Street Fighter Alpha 2 and 3, not having been listed for months and, in some cases, over a year, we’re not expecting to see these Spyro games soon. If at all. The only thing is that when they rate the games, it sits there and waits. I am not quiet to sure about this one being anytime soon though, but would be a nic addition to the PS games on the PSN.
It is nice to see it being rated though. What do you guys think? Would you like this game to come out any time soon?
