Want to know more about what's happening with Ubisoft Montreal's upcoming Far Cry 2? Patrick Redding has been able to spill some juicy beans on the game.

The developers are looking into Sixaxis moition and there's a supposed simultaneous release on all formats. Furthermore, the future of the game is taking shape in an upcoming DLC. Find out more information after the jump!

Here's an example of serendipity: a guy who lost his PlayStation 3 controller (never mind why, we don't know either) used a PC controller and it "worked perfectly." This was confirmed numerous times in the PlayStation 3 forum thread where it was first posted.

The controller he used was the Logitech dual action game pad. It's also been noted that this "discovery" has been discovered before by other individuals but some might not have caught whiff of it yet. At least now, you know you have an alternative in case you lose your controller (never mind why).

Note that it won't have the same functions as the DualShock 3 or the SIXAXIS controllers if you try it for yourself though. Here's the PC controller in action on the PlayStation 3:

 

And the revelations keep flowing from Sony Computer Entertainment's press conference, led by CEO Kaz Hirai. Up on the heels of updates for DualShock 3 and PlayStation Home is the new PC portal for PlayStation Home, which will soon allow users to connect to the service over their PCs.

In a short demonstration, Sony showed a Windows laptop sporting a PlayStation Store interface created for PC users. Of course, Hirai couldn't help but boast virtual shelf numbers during the process: 30 PlayStation 3 games, 300 add-on items, 100 game titles on archive, and a slew of game demos all underline what's served at the portal currently.

Mechanics are still slightly unclear, however, including details as to whether the PlayStation Store was accessed via browser or a stand-alone application. But some customers are beginning to appreciate the fact that they will be able to access the PlayStation Store through PCs for their PlayStation Portables, without needing to own a PlayStation 3.

More details on this and more as they develop.
