Naughty Dog to Stop Online Cheaters

All online games suffer from cheaters. People will find glitches in the game to become invincible, lag out the game, or just ruin the experience for everyone else. Naughty Dog won't allow this to happen, though. To stop these cheaters from ruining the Uncharted 2 multiplayer experience, Naughty Dog has a system in place to stop them and they'll also be playing the game and watching message boards for reports of such actions.

Yeah, beat down those cheaters down. *looks at the riverbed in Overgrown on Call of Duty 4*

JackBNimble5306d ago

I highly doubt that they will really be able to stop cheating.
Zipper interactive used to talk about stopping cheaters aswell back in their socom days, and it never really worked.

But at least there is an effort I guess.

DarkTower8055306d ago

*also looks at the rock in Creek.*

PimpHandHappy5306d ago

i remember rooms devoted to finding and working on your glitches! PPL that cheat make me sick. Nothing worse then getting owned by someone under a map or shooting through walls

masterg5306d ago

I should be pretty simple.

Have a "report a cheater" button.
After a player has enough reports they enter a pool where Naughty Dog starts to monitor them. When they see a cheater they ban them from online for a month or so. This would make other people stop at once.

N2NOther5306d ago

I rarely play Creek because most people hate that map, but I play Overgrown a lot and as soon as I die from that glitch I leave the game. I'd rather take a loss than die a bunch of times because some a-hole's idea of fun is to ruin it for everyone else.

I really hope ND can stay on top this. I just don't understand the need to ruin someone else's fun.

So if they take out the cheaters.I will have fun for months to come. problem with games like cod4 is that it is also on pc so there will be a lot of cheats that where made for pc that will come over to the console version.

MattyF5307d ago

That's true. The online MP in Uncharted 2 has been solid so far, so cheaters aren't a major concern yet. Good to know they'll be watching for them.

DanSolo5307d ago

I fvcking hate cheaters!

You have to be one sad lonely b@stard to need to go online and cheat in a game just to make yourself feel like a big man!

I mean someone cheating in say... poker is bad, but at least they are trying to con you out of your money so I can understand their goal even though I don't like it. But cheating in an online computer game that has absolutely no profit to be made???
It just shows that some people are pretty much just pathetic losers with no wit or skill to call their own and rather than trying to develop their mental and physical skills, they just resort to their only recourse.... being a cheating pu$$y!

creeping judas5306d ago

I don't think that a cheater is necessarily a person with no skills. I think they are really hardcore gamers, because if they can find a glitch that the QA team wasn't able to catch, then they are playing hardcore.

What motivates them is the fact that they can boast about 1) finding the cheat 2) how may trophies/achievements they have 3)they are up high on the leader boards.

maybe that's why games like MW2 will have no online trophies/achievements?? To disinterest those cheaters??

boodybandit5306d ago

is those people that jump online and all they do is look for exploits to use. There are cheaters in nearly every online game I have ever played.

I recently got into NHL 2010 team play online and there are cheaters there as well. Doing some kind of break dance move into a rocket shot when it doesn't even look like they are in the act of shooting or passing.

I just ignore or laugh at them because they are pathetically sad individuals.

You couldn't have stated that any better!!!

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1453d ago (Edited 1453d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1452d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1452d ago (Edited 1452d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1453d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1453d ago (Edited 1453d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1453d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931452d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.

My favorite is the building collapsing on Uncharted 2.

goldwyncq1488d ago

The entire final chapter of The Lost Legacy is the best setpiece in the series and it wasn't even mentioned.
