Soon after Bad IRET gets released, Team Fail0verflow joins into the PS4 scene action!
Nothing better then a double-hitter in the 'scene world', the PlayStation 4 console got a big jump ahead in the scene world with Bad IRET release, now Fail0verflow adds in some more cool kernel action
Earlier today, we got a leaked version of CTurt's PS4 Kernel Exploit, which himself confirmed as the real deal, but it was missing a bit of code, which we hope we get filled in some from by the unknown leaker, or CTurt himself, now that it is out in the public eye.
In the meantime, Team Fail0verflow decided to join into the PS4 15 minutes of scene fame today also, by finally releasing the missing pieces from their earlier linux booting on PS4 talk they did at the most recent CCC talk.
Marcan of fail0verflow has released an implementation of the kexec system call for PS4 on GitHub. This was most likely what we could see in action during the lightning talk at 32C3. Quote: 'This repo implements a kexec()-style system call for the PS4 Orbis kernel (FreeBSD derivative). This is designed to boot a Linux kernel directly from FreeBSD. This is not an exploit. It is useless without some mechanism of injecting code into the PS4 OS kernel.' Perfect timing, right after the BadIRET exploit source code was leaked.
I see in a few days, the two small missing pieces of code to be found for BadIRET exploit, and tutorial coming out for even easier usage by PS4 owners with older firmwares that can be currently exploited.
But remember stay tuned to MaxConsole UnderGround for more cool scene action, as both the Wii U and PS4 is heating up fast now, all we need is the XB1 to be throw into the fire, and we going to be in for major explosion of action, and that is occurring very soon!
Works on original PS4 firmwares up to v2.01, but designed for v1.76
The BadIRET source code for PS4 has been leaked by someone, and seems to work fully on v1.76, but not tested at this time, and is based on the work by CTurt that he wrote about recently on his GITHub.
There been alot of good work done on the PlayStation 4 console already, and most of it by CTurt, and he published a nice write-up of all his work recently, but one key piece he left out was the source for what he calls the 'BAD IRET' exploit, and it was only shared to few people privately, and recently was used by Team Fail0verflow to demo the fact they go a full-blown Linux running on the PS4 console.
But now thanks in part to some nasty hacker called ak47, hacking other hackers, the source code for BAD IRET has been leaked out there to everyone, so now people that are lucky enough to own a PS4 still running on the old v1.76 firmware, can play around with it.
And we must give thanks to Senaxx for sharing the leak on PlayStationSceneFiles for everyone to enjoy and access freely.
As you know, Naughty Dog is wrapping up production on Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End with the game on track to go gold and into production later this month. - Well, that is not happening now!
Well very bad news tonight, Sony has decided to yet again delay Uncharted 4 because there is just too many people waiting for it!
As you know, Naughty Dog is wrapping up production on Uncharted 4: A Thief's End with the game on track to go gold and into production later this month. In an effort to meet the considerable worldwide demand, and to ensure that all gamers worldwide have the opportunity to play the game on day one, we have chosen to postpone the launch of the game by two weeks to allow for extra manufacturing time.
Therefore, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has a new worldwide release date of May 10, 2016.
We know this news might be disappointing, and we are sorry to have to make you wait a little longer to play Naughty Dog's latest. The good news is that the game is phenomenal - we are fully confident that it will be worth the wait and the team at Naughty Dog is eager as ever for you to experience Nathan Drake's final adventure.
We thank you for your continued support for PlayStation.
So are you super mad, you got to wait yet again for Uncharted 4, at least for me it comes out now 2 days before my birthday, so I might be lucky and I will have something great to enjoy, if someone is kind enough to buy it for me as their birthday gift this year. (hint hint)
See the First Screenshots of The Surge, New Action-RPG From Lords of Fallen Devs
Deck 13 Interactive (Lords of the Fallen) are hard at work on bringing The Surge, a new action RPG, to life.
Here society has been driven to dystopic extremes by technological advancements as Earth comes closer and closer to its end. Check out the images below to see The Surge's hero in action!
Deck13's upcoming action-RPG today released its first screenshot, along with a render artwork of the main character.
Set on a dystopian Earth nearing the end of its life, The Surge offers a grim vision of our future. Accelerating advancements in technology and our abuse of the environment has led to an overly decadent civilization that now lies on the brink of collapse.
The Surge features innovative combat mechanics with a unique character progression system based on modular upgrades gained through the tight, visceral combat.
The images released today show The Surge's hero, equipped with his exoskeleton which serves as a base to upgrade your equipment. When fighting enemies, you can target specific parts or limbs to recover specific pieces of armor, weapons, or equipment you want to attach to your own exoskeleton. Of course, the best parts will often be the hardest to cut off - and they'll usually be attached to the most dangerous enemies! Even the most common enemies can prove deadly, and the game features imposing bosses who will truly put your wits, guts and reflexes to the test.
About The Surge
Set in a heavily dystopian future as Earth nears the end of its life, those who remain in the overpopulated cities must work to survive as social programs become saturated by an ageing population and increasing environmental diseases.
As the intelligence of technology incrementally increased over the years, many jobs for the human race had been made redundant, forcing Earth's citizens to head out into the suburbs seeking labor, aided by exoskeletons to improve their efficiency. The world of The Surge offers a very grim vision of the future, where the evolution of our technology, our society and our relation with the environment led to a decadent state of the Human civilization.
The Surge features innovative combat mechanics and an original character progression system based on modular upgrades gained through tight, visceral combat. Be sure to stay tuned for more about The Surge over the coming months!
Key Features
Tight, visceral hardcore action RPG combat with make-shift industrial weapons
A unique dismemberment and upgrade system utilizing cybernetic implants
Fight in a dystopian world full of mystery and learn about the events surrounding The Surge
Battle an array of huge industrial bosses
Craft, upgrade, and build new weapons with loot and blueprints

Capcom is bringing the three action-packed Resident Evil games to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Capcom has recently confirmed on their Unity Blog site that Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 will indeed be making their way to our new (sorry) current generation consoles for only $19.99 each.
Resident Evil 4 will be released on March 29, and it is still the absolute peak of the series. As one of the most revolutionary games of all time and a perfect blend of the old and new Resident Evil, everyone should blast through it at least once. More than likely, you probably already have since it has appeared on every home console since the GameCube, and this latest port is just one of the many in existence.
Still, it's Resident Evil 4. Shut up, and buy it again!
Resident Evil 5 is the best selling Capcom game of all time, and it holds up well thanks to its co-op and somewhat underrated sense of restraint. It might stray a bit too far from the classic formula, but it's still a solid game worth jumping into again or for the first time. It will be released in the summer.
And then there is Resident Evil 6, and thanks to this game, we realize how restrained Resident Evil 5 truly is. This over-inflated, ego driven vanity project has its fans, but any sense of tension and subtly is thrown out the backdoor for its bloated story and cheap action. Play it for the schlock, not for the design or plot. Resident Evil 6 will be released this fall.
Huh, not sure why the writer above got the release dates backwards, maybe he was looking in the mirror when typing up this news article, but if you check out the Capcom Blog and Posted Image, you will clearly see it that bloody gore and adventure of Resident Evil starts with #6 on March 29th, and then it ends up with us all re-playing RE4 after BUY'ing the game yet again in the Fall of 2016.
An new project for PS4, Xbox One and PC from Richard Rouse III (The Suffering, State of Decay) that delves into '70s cult movements, featuring the actors behind GLaDOS and the Team Fortress 2 Sniper.
Today we bring you news of an amazing new project idea for game that is due out in early-2017 for the PC/Mac, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, and I think you will agree with me, after reading over the following, and watching the teaser trailer, it will be game worth waiting for, and brings us into era of video games that are adventure and enjoyable instead of just plain old first-person shooters.
The Church in the Darkness is an action-infiltration game, but the layout, beliefs of the cult, and the individual motives of the two leaders change each time. Ultimately, it's up to you to figure out who the real threats are, who needs saving, and take action.
Exposing The Church in the Darkness
No one is forced to join a cult. It welcomes you. It understands you. It envelops you until the words become more than truth-they make you whole.
Persecuted for their radical beliefs, Rebecca and Isaac Walker lead their people into the jungles of South America. There, in the isolation of Freedom Town, they can finally escape the injustice of the US and follow the true path of the righteous... but an outsider is in their midst.
From Richard Rouse III (The Suffering) and inspired by real-life events, The Church in the Darkness is an action-infiltration game that delves into the radical movements of the 1970s. As a former law enforcement officer, you have resolved to get into Freedom Town and check on your sister's son. But life in Freedom Town may not be what it seems.
Every playthrough of The Church in the Darkness offers a unique version of Freedom Town with different character personalities and a shifting narrative told through investigation, observation, and action. How dangerous are the Walkers? Who are your allies and enemies? How far will you go to uncover the truth and save these people?
Of special note, the roles of the cult leaders were written specifically for Ellen McLain and John Patrick Lowrie; married in real life and well-known for voicing GLaDOS (Portal) and the Sniper (Team Fortress 2), respectively. The couple is also helping to compose the soundtrack-Ellen's musical contributions to the Portal series obviously need no introduction.
The Church in the Darkness is coming to PC/Mac, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in early-2017. For more information, follow development via @churchdarkness on Twitter, Facebook, and www.paranoidproductions.com/church.
So what do you think, is this the kind of game you will be looking forward to playing when year 2017 finally rolls around?
Band-Aid fix to get some types of PS3 YLOD up and running again with ease
Some forms of YLOD on the PS3 work perfectly, if you keep pressing the 'power' button, but that is pain in the ass, but now Modrobert from EurAsia has solved it using the PIC from the PS1 modding era!
When it comes to the PlayStation 3 consoles, there is two major problems they occur as they age from daily usage, its either the Blu-Ray laser getting weak or dieing or its the horrible Yellow-Light-Of-Death, and normally the only way to fix the YLOD error is to reflow the motherboard, or reball the RSX, as the lead-free solder forms hair-line cracks over time from daily power-up and power-down cycles, that cause bending and flexing of the joints from the amazing amount of heat that is developed inside the powerful PS3 console.
But now world famous modrobert from the EurAsia site has developed a very neat 'band-aid' fix for the YLOD consoles that work if you keep trying to power them up, some of the broken PS3's out there work if you keep pressing the power button, but now using some simple code and a few wires soldered into your console you can get the famous PIC from the PS1 modding days to do the work for you.
"I've shared a little PIC12F629 project for PS3 consoles with the dreaded YLOD where repeatedly pressing power button boots into XMB as the console heats up eventually. Check this forum topic for more info. Basically the microcontroller is programmed to look for red LED on the PS3 power switch board, if so it drives the power button signallow as if you were pressing the button manually."
For more info, downloads, installation pictures, and other key info, please check out the link below to EurAsia, and if you find this useful, please remember to thank modrobert for his hard-work and sharing this neat 'Band-Aid' fix for our PS3 YLOD issues so we can go back to enjoying our video games, instead of watching a blinking yellow light, and listening to those horrible beeps of a dead console.

From the City of Thieves, built from the wreckages of lost ships, to the great Elven city of Korangar hidden in the mountains, the environments of Styx: Shards of Darkness are enormous and semi-open, with an emphasis on verticality. They allow for a lot of freedom to complete the various missions' objectives. They are fantastic playgrounds for Styx to test his stealth and assassination skills, and try out his new moves such as rope-swinging and zip-lining!
These are just some of the huge open spaces oozing with verticality to explore in Styx's new infiltration adventure! With new ways to traverse the landscape, a deep and original story, as well as huge new features yet to be revealed, Styx's 2016 mission will be his biggest yet!
