On behalf of PC gaming, sorry about all those cheaters in your console games

Cheating on consoles used to be a rarity, and then crossplay came along.

demonseye1016d ago

I mean it's just Activision's fault. all that money and still no Anticheat. they are just doing manual bans.
and the poor communication. They have been getting better at it, but I mean they went from 0 communication to minimal communication. they are now losing streamers rapidly, some will be switching to other games like apex and new world. battlefield is on the horizon (although they have to prove themselves as well) but if they don't do something fast people will be gone. I only play warzone because of my gaming Bro`s if not for them wouldn't even started playing it.

Anti cheat doesn't really work they crack those in like the first month. The hackers are using AI now so unless the publishers start building an AI to counter then it's going to get worse.

I think the craziest thing about this, is how much individuals pay for the cheats, to cheat. Willing to risk malware and everything just to put some night vision goggles on in a F2P game. WTF is wrong with people?

TheDoomedGuy1015d ago

You must not now how people create these cheats. Even with anti cheat they find newer ways to implement them.

I've started seeing cheater compilation and Top10 videos on Youtube. Surely this is just giving them notoriety, it's not helping the cause at all.

Speak for yourself. Some of us want their paywall time online to be an amusing living hell.

Futureshark1015d ago

Be nice if console players could only choose other console players to play against, leave PC cheaters to their own playground!

TheGreatGazoo301015d ago

Tons of games you can and I uncheck that box all the time.

slayernz1015d ago

stopped playing warzone coz of the pc cheaters....and yes you can turn off crossplay, but you have to sit there for 10-15 minutes to find enough players...no thanks!

demonseye1015d ago

I think he means that there should be an option for console only. as far as i know, games only have the option to play with Playstation only and XBOX only. but it would be nice for a console-only lobby. but they probaly dont want that because more people will choose for the console-only option then. now they force people that want to play with their cross console buddy to play in PC lobbies. and well pc lobbies just have more hackers. The worst thing I encounter in console lobbies is the Chronos bullshit which is harder to prove.

ocelot071015d ago

I think the new battlefield has a option where you can include pc players into your search as a option. This for me will be getting turned off. I was going to get the game on pc. But get it for ps5 now so I don't get stuck with the cheaters lol.

Call of duty warzone on PS4/ps5 allows you to turn off crossplay and it works. I don't think it works on Xbox though unfortunately for them.

Microsoft's Absurd Antics Have Me Scared For Dishonored And Arkane Lyon's Future

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Relientk779h ago

I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.

JEECE6h ago

I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.

thesoftware7306h ago

Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄

Skuletor3h ago

Just merge them all into a single studio, have it churn out a single Call of Duty every year and call it a day, lol.

Barlos3h ago

Don't be scared, you'll be fine.

Skuletor3h ago

It's exputer, fine is one word I would not associate with them.

Profchaos3h ago

I think it's becoming clear based on matt bootys comments there's no future for any IP that can't sell above 10 million within the launch window. But is also a small game that gives them prestige

/S it's beyond a joke right now

Rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase could happen this week per industry insider

A renowned industry insider has suggested the rumored PlayStation May 2024 showcase featuring Silent Hill 2 could happen this week.

Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.

Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.

SlothLordPootus8h ago

As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.

Lightning777h ago

I was about to say Sony always gives a week in advance for their show.

VersusDMC7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Last year it was a weeks notice.

https://blog.playstation.co...

May 17th announcement for may 24th show.

VersusDMC7h ago

Nintendo always tweets that a direct is happening tomorrow but no one cares.

Sony gives a week or days of notice and we get anti sony type fake outrage like this.

But good luck trying trying to get some Sony hate going...

Petebloodyonion6h ago

You just mention it!
Sony gives a week in advance NOT just a couple of days.
So I fail to see what Sony's hate movement I'm trying to start when it's a basic business strategy to not piss off your partners (ask Sega).
And I doubt it's hate to ask how it would benefit Sony in doing so.

thesoftware7306h ago(Edited 6h ago)

@Versus
Huh? What?

Bro you really should relax, if what you read was some kinda negative against Sony.... seriously, is that what you got from the comments?

Bro, he was debunking the rumor, and gave perfectly good reasons why it would be unlikely, and your Nintendo Direct comparison is different, as this is supposed to be a BIG Sony showcase, not a surprise 20 min direct, and Sony 's pattern has been one week.

Slow down warmonger.

VersusDMC5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

@thesoftware730

"1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event."

That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind?

And it's not like they need that many resources to cover the stream. They just need 3 people to react to the stream live and make some easy articles made up mostly of summaries of Sony provided press releases. They would have enough time to "prepare" if it was announced with one days notice.

Petebloodyonion4h ago

@Versus
" That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind"

No, it simply implies that some media all over the world might (keyword MIGHT) not properly cover the event like having proper articles for each game announced, or having a proper preshow. maybe some popular YouTubers won't have time to prepare or simply your local newspaper doing an article on tech and game.

So why would Sony take a chance?
What benefit would that give them?

Before I get tons of replies for Sony given a week in advance, my initial comments are related to the notion that the Show could happen this week as the title mentions.
Now to be fair the complete article mentions that Jeff said the Show could happen later in May giving time for Sony to give the normal 7-day notice.

Again not trying to start a negative thing here just thinking that it's bogus that Sony will have a show this week

notachance5h ago

Yeah as much as I’d like to hear what sony’s 1st parties have cooked, it’s not their style to shadow drop a showcase.

Still waiting for ghost of tsushima 2, I’m ready whenever man..

You're assuming media outlets don't know about it.

Going in with no expectations but likely will see something that resonates with me.

DeadlyFire43m ago

Nah they will announce it probably, but it won't happen right away soon though yes.
