Is Resident evil another dead franchise on psp?

 On June 2, 2009 Capcom announced that a new Resident Evil title would be making its way to the PSP, the only details given were that it wouldn’t be a port of an older title. That was nine months ago and no new info has been announced, now this could be a case of Capcom aren’t ready to show the title or maybe they are saving it for E3.

I’m a huge Resident Evil fan and was very excited at the announcement however the lack of any info on the title being release has me worried, Is the game still being made? This wouldnt be the first time Capcom have  pulled the plug on a big PSP title. A PSP version of Devil May Cry was originally planned for the PSP and apparently there was a PSP version of DMC 3 playable at E3 in 2005. Sadly in 2009 Famitsu magazine broke the news that the title was “suspended from retail sale” basically it was cancelled.

I truly hope that I’m wrong on this but I cant help but worry Resident Evil PSP is as dead as one of the games decaying zombies.

I have contacted Capcom and will update you with any info I receive.

Sony’s kill switch strikes again?

 

Sony’s “kill Switch” or  the “Sony timer” is a very old urban myth but after experiencing the current PS3 phat outage situation first hand im wondering if it’s more than a myth?

Since 1980 crazy conspiracy theorists had jokingly suggested the existence of the “Sony timer”,  a kill-switch that destroys your Sony device just after its warranty runs out. The Dell Laptop recall from a few years back (due to faulty Sony batteries) brought the urban legend into the public eye with many anti Sony consumers using it as an advantage to further denounce Sony.

Late last night I was experiencing problems unlocking trophies on my PS3, then I was completely logged out of PSN and un-able to log back on. It turns out im not the only one facing such problems with most owners of Phat PS3 models having similar issues. Have Sony accidently triggered their Kill switch on the older PS3 models? I’m sure fanboys from both camps will tell alternate stories on the situation. Hopefully Sony will fix this problem soon.
