    lads its obviously not a direct fault of ps but the problem is it looks bad to the general public considering the security issues ps has had in the past.

    No it doesn't.

    It only looks "bad" to people with an agenda to try and make it fit their "Playstation is bad and not secure or safe" rhetoric

    As someone who doesn't really give a **** about either console, it doesn't look great anytime a company is linked with a hack of any kind, especially one who had a very public breach not that long ago. So no, its obviously something Sony won't be happy about.

    However, it's their twitter account. It doesn't affect their service, and won't impact any users. So it's not a big deal.

    I'd agree with that. If the claims of the PSN DB being hacked are true though, that's far more concerning & potentially damaging.

    I don't know about having the biggest dick but I'm not known as Big Balls McGinty for nothing.

    I think that was due to the McGinty screws you used in your bird houses, and how you had the big balls to try and fool others into thinking they were genuine McGinty's :P

    The only good news is that OurMine are an ethical hacking group and according to their manifesto they give access back and point out the vulnerabilities and provide tips to secure these PSN oversights.

    This should be really useful for Playstation since they struggle so much with their network security.

    It would he fascinating to know how they breached PSN but we I am sure we won't get the details.

    Attack on Titan 2 video game has been announced. Gameplay video of the first looked interesting, but haven't tracked it down yet...Wonder if this will get a wider release.

    Spoilers if you haven't watched the latest season, as some of the scenes from the anime are reconstructed here.

    Hacking the social media accounts is hardly the same as PSN being breached is it? Even the mighty Xbox Support Twitter Account got hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army a couple of years ago.

    The hackers say they have hacked the PSN too, but there's no evidence for same.

    Age of Empires 2 and 3 are getting definitive editions, and they announced Age of Empires 4 as well, made by Relic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 11,650 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio


    AOE4? Oooh! Nice!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,859 ✭✭✭MiskyBoyy


    Trailer here:


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 11,105 Mod ✭✭✭✭CatInABox


    Great that AoE4 is being made, and even better that Relic are doing it, but that trailer is nonsense. Why release a trailer that shows nothing.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 24,164 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    I'm looking forward to that. I love Age of Empires, love Relic, hopefully it'll go well. I also really hope they leave the voice command stuff in so I can annoy friends with "Rogan" and "Wololo".

    What will be the difference between the perviously released AoE2 HD and this Definitive edition?

    Because you've got nothing else to show at the trade show. :)

    There was another expansion released since the HD one came out, probably has that included.

    Announcement trailer for God's Trigger in which you play an Angel from Heaven or an escapee of hell, armed with blades, guns, and powers. A co-op top down fast and frenetic shooter where you're ultimately trying to take down the Four Horsemen.
