EL33TONLINE: News tag archive: update
The one positive aspect of PS Vita launching in the West two months after Japan is that it gives Sony an opportunity to iron out a few kinks and add some new firmware features.
There have been a couple of minor firmware updates since the Vita’s Japanese launch, but today’s update (version 1.60) is the most significant thus far.
Sony Computer Entertainment has set live the latest firmware update for PlayStation 3, adding new features and a new terms of service agreement with the changeover from PlayStation Network accounts to Sony Entertainment Network accounts included.
The team at Sony Computer Entertainment has snuck out a brand new firmware update for the PlayStation 3 this morning, bringing everyone’s consoles up to version 4.00.
It will also get us all ready for the launch of PS Vita in Japan this year, apparently.
The update is available right now, but what does it do? Journey of discovery below:
3DS owners the world over can stop holding onto any hope of receiving new features for the handheld via a promised firmware update this month, because Nintendo has confirmed that the planned hardware revision has been delayed.
The next time you switch your PlayStation 3 on, you won’t be forced to download the latest firmware update for the system, but Sony Computer Entertainment has made it available nonetheless, which is nice.
What does the firmware do?
It’s time once again to make sure your PlayStation 3 is fully up-to-date and revving to go, because the latest firmware update, version 3.72, is out and available for download now.
But what does 3.72 do for your PS3?
LittleBigPlanet fans can look forward to creating games for their PlayStation Move motion controller today as the new LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack has arrived on the PlayStation Network.
The latest free update for LittleBigPlanet 2 was just released this week, but did you know that it added Move support to the game? Yip, that’s right, LittleBigPlanet 2 is now Move-enabled so you can control your Sackboy, or Sackgirl (ahem), with the Move controller and Navigation controller.
Media Go is the Sony equivalent of iTunes. It allows you to organise and browse your media library on PC, and also serves as a PC-based content management tool for PlayStation Portable as well as other Sony devices. You can use it to access the PSP side of the PlayStation Store, back up game saves and transfer any other content from your PSP to your PC’s hard drive.
Brink has been in desperate need of a bit of freshening up for a while now, despite the release of a few patches since its release in early May, and luckily for those of you who have stuck with Splash Damage and Bethesda’s multiplayer-based first-person shooter, the planned and promised ‘Agents of Change’ downloadable content is due for release this week across all platforms.
Thanks to information from Tom, we now know that the latest system update for Xbox 360 has gone live and is available to download.
The next time you turn on your Xbox 360 while connected online, you’ll be prompted to download the mandatory update. If you’re already signed into Xbox LIVE, however, you may be signed out and asked to download the update (which, depending on your connection, will only take “a few moments”).
But what does this new update actually do?
If you’re a fan of intense action racing games, then you’ll be happy to hear that an update for MotorStorm Apocalypse is now available on the PlayStation Network.
According to Evolution Studios, the ‘After Party’ update is the “biggest update” to the game so far…and it’s free! It includes a new day-and-night track called The Rock as well as new Special Events Packs and weekly challenges.
Kaos Studios has quietly released a new update for the Xbox 360 version of Homefront which aims to improve game stability, and includes “various other fixes.”
With the release of this latest patch for Homefront, look out for the ‘Ability Pack’ downloadable content (DLC), which will open up to you after you’ve updated your game to the latest version.
Details of another DLC offering on June 7th have also been revealed – find out about the fixes have been made to Homefront, the new content you have access to, and what this ‘Fire Sale’ map pack is all about:
Originally meant to launch this month to bolster the 3DS’s list of features, Nintendo has unfortunately confirmed that the console’s much anticipated eShop will not be available in May.
In the last 24 hours, two fairly significant pieces of rumoured information have emerged in the world of videogames, both of which are near and dear to many a gamer’s heart: The next Call of Duty, and the upcoming Dashboard update for Xbox 360.
Let’s rummage around in some half-truths and indulge in some whole lies for a while, shall we?
