Watch Dogs Won't Have Cheat Codes

Those of you who are finding ways to relate Watch Dogs to Rockstar's GTA games will now have one less thing to relate to, since it has been revealed that the game will not have cheat codes.

Meltic4422d ago (Edited 4422d ago )

Boring... a game without cheats not fun in the long run specially open World games. Gta 5 today is still fun with cheats. Weapon and armor etc

Stenmark4422d ago

A game,where you have over 100 hackable objects and you want cheats? xD

Stapleface4422d ago

Don't worry. Your Ge Force GTX 785 will run it just fine, and with the 785, all games get N-cheat. An Nvidia exclusive for pc's that don't exist.

Meltic4422d ago

lol get a Life stapleface. I asked for help only and i wrote wrong. Cant people write wrong ?. Like i said ubisoft is making me nervous. Ive been waited so long for this game so i wrote my G card wrong. Enough of this or i report you and that Alien for victimization... grow up kids.

Stapleface4422d ago

LMAO Report me for victimization. HA! That's the problem with this society, full of victims. I guess I'll just start reporting your troll posts instead of playing along. I figured since you could dish it, you could take it. But again, society full of victims..

heisenberguk4422d ago (Edited 4422d ago )

Cheats take away the drama in games, like being short of ammo and having to clear a room is more exhilarating that just spamming infinite grenades to clear it instead! Takes away the fun imo! Although on the other hand I wouldn't have minded some credits cheats in Gran Turismo sometimes in the past!

randomass1714422d ago

Do games even still use cheat codes? I thought that was dropped with the seventh generation.

trenso14422d ago

yea i think only gta kept up with cheat codes even though they weren't the same, since you didn't need to memorize any button combinations

Master-H4422d ago

Not entirely , they're called Microtransactions now.

Am i the only one not bothered by the fact this game will not have cheat codes?

last time i used a cheat code was back in the San Andreas days.

Meltic4422d ago (Edited 4422d ago )

In the beginning of open World games like GTA i dont use cheats but after the game is finished, its funny to use some cheat codes. Or else the game is boring in the long run and i like to play games for a while

Bugz4422d ago

I get your POV,
I stopped using them when it started blocking achievements/trophies

i guess they do add that bit more fun

But its not a deciding factor imo

Gr1mmyshadows4422d ago

doesnt bother me one bit, never was a fan of cheat codes anyways

randomass1714422d ago (Edited 4422d ago )

Cheat codes are for the weak! Or at least for squares!

Dirkster_Dude4422d ago

Do you really think they will not be in the game? If someone reports a bug in the game do you think the developers or testers will play through the entire game just to test for that 1 bug to verify it? Of course not - they will use cheat codes to bypass parts of the game so they can get at the reported problem more easily. After launch the game will still have problems so while they may not be published they will most likely still be there. People will find them.

Alsybub4422d ago

Depends on whether debug access is left in the retail version.

Highly unlikely.

CrossingEden4422d ago

There's a huge difference between Debug/developer mode and cheat codes.

chrissx4422d ago

Disappointing, but no big deal

wannabe gamer4422d ago

i havent used cheat codes since i was 12

shivvy244422d ago

i remember when i was 10 at a friends sleepover party and he had pages of cheats for GTA san andreas ! Good times :')

Dirkster_Dude4422d ago (Edited 4422d ago )

The cheat codes were originally used by developers to test part of the game without having to play the whole game. It is unlikely they will be removed because the game will still have to be updated as bugs are found and removed. Playing the entire game just to get to the final story mission and test for a bug is not economically viable. The developers simply don't have that kind of time. They probably will just not publish the cheat codes the programmers or game testers use.

randomass1714422d ago

It's a pretty archaic method of development. And besides, a lot of games are easier these days anyway.

Watch Dogs Deserves A Remake, More Than Ever

With the world of information and technology, privacy and security growing every day, Watch Dogs deserves another chance in the spotlight, now more than ever.

RaidenBlack1760d ago

The only Ubi title that deserves a faithful remake right now is Splinter Cell 1.
All 2014+ Ubi titles are just underwhelming. Especially ones from 2016+ are just cancer.

LucasRuinedChildhood1760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

HankHill1760d ago

I remember being so disappointed in Watch Dogs when I played it at release. It was alright, but I think I fell for the hype and I needed a game to play on my new PS4.

obidanshinobi1760d ago

This is what happens when mediocrity gets praised as good.
Standards are slipping across the whole entertainment industry.
What was once considering rubbish is now considered as OK, what once was OK is now being praised as good etc etc.

LamerTamer1760d ago

Everyone has their own likes. I liked it a lot myself. I played through it twice and liked the car chases and the open world with fairly decent environments and missions. It suffered from the whole downgrade thing where they showed graphics that weren't actually there. No game will appeal to everyone but it was still ambitious for it's time.

gantarat1760d ago

assassin's creed 1 should get a remake.

ExBee1760d ago

For certain! AC1 was brilliant at the time but with new graphics and gameplay it would be amazing! Do you prefer old combat or new though?

RaidenBlack1760d ago

I'd say a reimagining of AC1.
I direct AC1 remake would be a bad idea. It'll need better story pacing and significant better world building.

BlaqMagiq11760d ago

Old. Let it play like how it did with AC2-Syndicate style gameplay but refine the setting and story.

Profchaos1760d ago

It would need a lot changed for it to be enjoyable again as even back in 2007 on launch we were all complaining about it's repetitive gameplay go here perform one of three side quests repeat then assassination now do it over and over until a big battle with a unforgiving checkpoint system.

BlaqMagiq11760d ago

Absolutely. It needs it. The only AC I truly didn't enjoy.

chicken_in_the_corn1760d ago

I'd prefer it didn't. Ubisoft would make it so bloated, it wouldn't be anywhere near the original

smolinsk1760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

Absolutely, this watch dogs legion was terrible boring.

Profchaos1760d ago (Edited 1760d ago )

As a fan of the franchise legion was garbage and I regretted my purchase for the first time in the franchise the entire thing felt like an experiment in NPC behaviour and released without the writers input on what makes a good story.

I don't think I'm alone in that feeling though as wrench and Aiden are brought back and the campaign was rewritten to fit them.

I am tempted to buy the season pass to play it again with Aiden but fool me twice shame on me I'm waiting for a deep sale

camel_toad1760d ago

Agreed. Despite the annoying hipness of the characters in part 2 I thought it was a really fun game. I was extremely disappointed and surprised at how many steps back they took with Legion. You'd think it was made by an entirely different team. Or was it?

It was just so devoid of fun.

LamerTamer1760d ago

Honestly one of my biggest annoyances with Legion is that they took out the camera views for the driving. I mean the behind the car view that they stuck us with is near unplayable. I always used a first person driving view. After two releases why did they take OUT features? I don't get it.

TheSinsibleOne1760d ago

The fist watchdog game was the best by far
After that they weren't weird and annoying with that hipster stuff. Aiden was a badass.

LamerTamer1760d ago

I thought so at first too. I got used to it and it ended up being good after some play time. I just had to give it a chance.

TheEnigma3131760d ago

Remake the PoP series from xbox/ps2/gc era

RaidenBlack1760d ago

They are remaking Sands of Time.

TheEnigma3131760d ago

That's good news. Hopefully it's done right.

Inside the Driver game that died so that Watch Dogs could live

From VG247: "When cars slide, they leave tyre marks. In a game like Driver, they’re an aesthetic touch, part of the inherent cool of a handbrake turn. But those dark shadows in the road also tell a story. From tyre marks, you can determine the speed of a vehicle, when it started to skid, and its ultimate direction of travel – long after the car itself has vanished into the distance."

vallencer1825d ago

Different spellings in different parts of the world friend. Tyre is a correct way to spell it.

Pridefall1825d ago

Dunno why you got downvpted when tyre is correct in Australia.

mikefizzled11824d ago

The mystery that is En Fore Gee

neutralgamer19921825d ago

Give us driver San Francisco remastered

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen1825d ago

Why did they stop making some of the best games ever? Driver was one of them.

Gameseeker_Frampt1824d ago

Assassins Creed 2 showed Ubisoft how to make money and Far Cry 2 showed them that gamers don't like complex ideas. Now Ubisoft just turns out games that are just variations of the same thing.

WeAreLegion1825d ago

Best driving mechanics ever made. Nothing has come close.

Gardenia1825d ago

A story driven game with pure driving gameplay. I'd love to see a new Driver game or a remake of the first one.

ApocalypseShadow1825d ago

Yes. This one. A definite remake of the first without adding any ridiculous fluff. The first game had great physics and sound for its time. The start of the car in the beginning cinema I watched constantly. My father and uncles were big muscle and classic car freaks. Only thing crazy about the game was the relentless cops in the last level. Insane the way those police cars were and launched at you.

Bleemcast made it look better just like PC emulators. But would definitely take a remake.
