Resistance 2 Beta Codes Sent Out (We Got Ours) E-mail
Friday, 17 October 2008
R2
Sure we mentioned this yesterday but that was with information from the official Resistance forums, today we get word from Sony's official blog AND our code was emailed to us last night.

Here's the info:


  • Today, October 16th, the public beta for Resistance 2 will begin in North America. The beta will offer gamers a glimpse at Resistance 2’s online competitive and co-op modes ahead of the game’s launch on November 4th. We will be admitting players in two waves: a Premiere wave which includes those that pre-ordered at GameStop, individuals who subscribed to QORE for one year and/or bought the episode featuring Resistance 2 and a recent contest from GamePro.com. Those of you in the Premiere wave should be receiving an email with a registration code between now and tomorrow afternoon. A second wave is starting in the middle of next week, and you apply to be a part of it by going to beta.myresistance.net once the site goes live (later tonight). For those of you across the pond in Europe, the public beta will also begin next week.
  • The Beta will include competitive maps from three locations in the game. These maps include 60-, 40-, and 20-player maps from Orick, 40- and 20-player maps from Chicago, and the 10-Player map Sub Docks (Bay Area). New modes Skirmish and Core control will be supported, along with Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. The co-op portion of the beta will focused on Orick, and will support randomization of your play-path. Both co-op and competitive will support matchmaking and class/character progression up to level 10. This will allow unlocking of new equipment, upgrades and berserks for character customization.
  • Speaking of beta.myresistance.net, the beta version of our new community site goes live tonight as well. Customizable leader boards/user profiles, individual blogs and ‘ticker’ that provides players with up to minute information of happenings on the site are just some of the features the beta site has to offer. Leading into the November 4th North American launch of the game (and the months to follow), we’ll be adding several more features that will make MyResistance.net the destination for all Resistance fans.

Sweet, hopefully this goes a little better than the SOCOM official launch...that would be something.

Far Cry 2 Space Opens on PlayStation Home Beta E-mail
Thursday, 16 October 2008
PS Home

Ubisoft and Sony just announced the availability of the Far Cry 2 space in the beta for PlayStation Home. What can you do? Well...

Featuring details from the game’s expansive open world universe wrapped in what will become a fully interactive experience, the Far Cry 2 space marks the first third-party video game environment in PlayStation Home



So, here is finally a game-based example of PlayStation Home. We might have to install the beta now although we only ever laughed at the SecondLife folks so there is some hesitation on our part. Maybe if someone else does this and lets us know about...hint, hint. How about we sweeten it a bit - tell us about this and we'll toss you a second entry into our Fallout 3 contest. First come, first served though.

Official PS3 Mic in the Wild E-mail

PS3 Mic

We got our copy of SOCOM: Confrontation with the official Sony PS3 mic in the box. The mic itself is Bluetooth like most Sony peripherals and it comes with battery pre-installed. You also get a charging stand that allows you to use the mic while charging. Of course you'll need a longer USB cable for that - the one you get in the package is about 12" in length - hardly long enough to reach you on the couch. You get two rubber ear gaskets to fit the mic in your ear better but no foam covers.

Syncing is done in the standard Bluetooth scanning method you're used to (passcode 0000 yo), the sound and mic pickup are good. Can't say it's better than the Jawbone we usually use but the charge stand does make this easier to use (we don't wear the mic in our ear because we're sporting wireless headphones...wife's choice, not ours).
