LBP is awesome. I am currently designing a level for it. :D

Does this Beta feature local multiplayer?

Yes, I connected another PS3 controller to my PS3 and it prompted me to select a local XMB account. Once I did that another Sackboy entered the level. :)

Here is a really bad quality photo of what I mean.

The Socom beta was announced ahead of time by a few days or so, but the LBP giveaway was a joke :no:

The amount of news and crap it's created over these keys just shows you they knew exactly what they were doing. It's all about ??? in the end for them.

A joke? Why? Because you didn't get in?

It was posted all over the net that beta testers would get an invite and several thousand codes would be released to the usual suspects for them to give away.

It was done in the exact same manner as any other open beta/demo.

I'm not having a dig at you, I just don't understand your statement.

No, it wasn't handled the same way at all. Scritly speaking about Eurogamer, nobody else. And no it's not because I didn't get in, I am planning to buy the game already, actually not playing it will make it better come the 24th.

However, the announcement didn't come in until 5pm or later in the day, and it was quite clearly rigged with it showing 1 key left for a long time to many many people. They did it so more would continue to sign up which means more ??? in their pocket. I've been a member at EG for long enough to spot something out of the ordinary from them.

Seems funny that I knew about the keys about 2 days before they were out, and I wasn't alone - another forum I frequent also knew about them.

Never mind, you're not missing out on much (honestl:p :p )

I never said I didn't know they were coming, don't twist my words. I said they never announced when. Prove me wrong and find a source on their website otherwise, please :) I read the news every day when I get up and some point through the day. The first I seen they were giving them away was Tuesday night when I got home.

No, no. Forget it.

Anyway, a certain 'AudioBoxer' has just PM'd me asking me to post this link for you unlucky people that didn't see the announcement from Eurogamer

I didn't know that they had even been released and I usually know about these things...

AB had to link me over MSN to inform me that the LBP Codes were available, this was about 5.30pm and it then took me 45 minutes to Re-Register (as my old username and password refused to work even though I requested my details and even that said it was right) and then actually get the LBP Beta Key page to load.

It wasn't very well constructed I dont think, EG should of prepared their servers for the on slaught as LBP is a hugely anticipated game for PS3 owners and to not prepare the servers was a serious school boy error.

Hopefully they will learn from their mistakes if they ever get this sort of oppertunity again.

They didn't for the CoD4 beta, did they? However there was no server downtime/overload from that I believe.

It's weird that they released them approx. 5pm in the evening. I was playing halo and browsing this thread and saw AB post it. Total surprise!

Every single beta they've had keys for and I've been interested they have always announced when they are giving them away. Call of Duty 4 included :yes:

Trust me, they knew exactly what they were doing with the LBP keys and the hype they created. Not that it really matters in the end.

Funny you say forget it Shadowmoses, perhaps because they didn't announce anything at all until 5pm? :rolleyes:

I'm with you DM, I couldn't remember if they announced they would release CoD4 keys or not.

It's obvious they'll have CoD5 keys too, but meh that's another story.

It ****ed me off that they never said a word about LBP Keys, but instead made everyone rush for it at once.

No, I said forget it because I can't really be bothered arguing with you or proving you wrong (or right) (Y)

I knew about it 2 days before they went live on EG.

Anyway...

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
