An ultra-violent computer game which features explosions and scenes of destruction on the London Tube and at the Houses of Parliament has been approved by censors.
Free for Playstation owners
Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.
“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”
This is pretty dumb to say the least.
Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.
I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.
The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report. Instead, Activision assured developers it was simply for internal concepts. That, of course, was not followed through. For what it's worth, per the PlayStation Store, 2,400 COD Points cost $19.99, meaning players potentially spent real-life money on a skin that was not created by an actual human.
As far as A.I. use goes across Activision, a source told Wired that 2D artists are utilizing A.I. to aid their work. That is a result of mass layoffs, in which many 2D artists were impacted. “A lot of 2D artists were laid off,” the source named Noah said. “Remaining concept artists were then forced to use A.I. to aid in their work.” Mandatory A.I. trainings have been implemented, according to Noah.
Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever.
Oh and where the FRIGGIN outrage people? When Sony makes a remaster of a masterpiece single player story driven game, they get roasted. But this, this, goes unnoticed? Then don’t complain that you aren’t getting enough single player story games.
"The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report."
We're talking concept art? Because as of right now there's no way to generate a final 3D model with final textures. So the final assets don't use AI. That's not to say that it sucks for 2D artist that it's easier to generate visual ideas and build from them leading to less 2D artists needed (really sucks), but are they say the final concept art was completely AI generated and then 3D artists built from that? And yes, I'll pile on that Activision as a publisher and their developers I have experience with suck and they'll do whatever, ethics be damned.
Wow I can just imagine the likes of Activision, EA and Ubi etc having an army of AIs creating overpriced crap and the fanboys just lapping it up. I hope the AIs have a good union.
I understand why people think it’s good idea to Unionize to fight back against such things but it’s not. It’s a bad idea. It’s activisions wet dream to have these pumped out weekly by some AI. Protect your neck!
Typical dailymail crap
theres a reason people laugh at the mere mention of this papers name.
"The game will be released tomorrow and censors have been keen to point out the game is 'completely inappropriate' for children. "
You see that big 18 rating on the front? do you know what that means?
"Call Of Duty 3 shows soldiers running through the streets of London with machine guns while bombs explode and buildings tumble to the ground, the Independent reports."
3? WTF I'm sure 3 was released years ago, but in dailymail land you can spout any crap and it doesn't have to make sense for the mindless drones to follow.
"Supporters of those affected by the 7/7 suicide attacks in July 2005, which killed 52 people, had called for Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to be banned but the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has settled for an 18 rating."
You know why? heres the BBFC's official statement
"The train, which contains no civilian passengers, crashes beneath Westminster Underground Station and the battle continues through the station up to street level. However, a full examination of the game makes clear that the storyline is far removed from these real events, neither drawing upon nor resembling real terrorist attacks on the Underground"
The dailymail is a complete embarassment to this country, an to the idiots who read it religiously, you're beyond help
This is ridiculous, whenever a World War 2 game gets released you don't hear holocaust survivors complaining. You know why not? Because that would be stupid because it's JUST A GAME.
Ultra Violent. Haha silly Mail.
