I didn't ask for this. But apparently, there's a company preparing a PS3 cheat device under the Game Genie branding. And, well, it's not your old Game Genie in the least.
It will apparently come in the form of a USB device that plugs into the console and will only activate cheats that are on servers belonging to the Game Genie's maker, Galo--er, Hyperkin. Also, the device cannot be used during online play, and it can't touch on-disc DLC for legal reasons. It also can't be used as a means to unlock trophies. What the device does do is edit your save files with the cheats you select.
Man, I don't even know what to think about this. I guess it's cool that they won't allow the device's use to tinker with online play, but at the same time, cheat devices are pretty stupid. And even when I did use one (I had the SNES Game Genie), it was hit or miss as to whether any of the cheat codes actually worked.
No word on where in E3 this was shown, but this feels like some Kentia Hall-level garbage.
