How cheaters cheat: turbo controllers

In addition to using lag switches, another way that people cheat on games over Xbox LIVE is through the use of turbo controllers. Turbo controllers allow a user to pull off complex combos in fighting games with the press of a button or fire their weapons in shooters far faster than they were meant to be. Most honest gamers consider their use as cheating.

I'd love to have one of these lol

Xander7565806d ago

Why? Aren't you good enough to kill people on your own accord? Don't you want to get better at the game by playing it normally instead of cheating?

mastiffchild5806d ago

Cheats drove me out of PC gaming(hackers esp) and I've seen SO many lag switching lately on both Live(last september was amazing for it) and PSN that it's getting pointless there as well. FFS you even see it playing MKWii with my kids! Loads of dicks with invincibility hacks or an infinite number of boosts and blue shells-I mean why?

I remember first getting really wound up with cheats playing CS with mates against one particular bunch of US lads who we'd managed to beat the last time we played(mainly by luck as I'm sh1t as hell at CS!)and the cheating was incredible. I'm not knocking Stateside gamers here as everyone is as bad for it and it just happened the worst ones I'd seen were American. they were virtually all cheating and impossible to ill in any way it seemed and aster that I always felt that if I got a stuffing thee was likely a bit of cheating going on-any sign was interpreted as a hack or cheat even though most of the time it won't have been. that is one effect the cheats and few of us elsewhere consider but the cheats actually cause you to doubt highly skilled players as you start thinking -"he MUST be cheating". It erodes the whole damn ethos of online gaming, imho, and anyone caught should have their IP address suspended for a month from EVERYTHING if we're ever to try to prevent it spreading further and making gaming more of a laughingstock as far as competition is concerned.

I despise cheating and the people who do it. If yu must cheat then try to think why you're doing it. What madew you so weak and so insecure? I'm, seriously, cra at shooters and would benefit miles more than most by cheating a bit but I can handle losing but when someone who's clearly been cheating(like this one Cornish idiot who'd been able to soak up Larrk hits and jump 50feet in the air all game in R2 recently did)wants to then tell you how crap you are in the .lobbies then sod off.

I'll never get why anyone would do it. you hear of "victimless crime" and while cheating like this can never be called that I fear it goes the other way and is a crime that even the perp gets NOTHING out of!! A spoilless, lootless, prize free and pride free crime? They are the men with no shame.

mac_sparrow5806d ago

Don't even think of using autofire... or I'll know.

mac_sparrow5806d ago

If you die in games you should accept it, even if...

When your life reaches zero, the game is over. There are no continues, my friend.

sashimi5806d ago

Aren't shooters already easy enough lol

Xander7565806d ago

Not when you are playing against a beast like myself. People need every bit of help they can get when facing the likes of me.

Colonel-Killzone5806d ago

And what if a whole team is using it then what ? Sorry but not even the best Players can last long against cheaters. The number games will always catch up especially if they are bloodthirsty skilled cheaters also.

Holeran5806d ago

Um I think xander might of been joking guys. Just a thought.

Xander7565806d ago

LOL yeah I am actually terrible at CoD. Now Halo on the other hand...

I can't stand looking at that girl.

Meh, turbo controllers are pointless imo.
If you're strafing to the right and someone's running to the left. And your crosshairs are about to point over the guys head for a nanosecond.
You're going to want to time your one bullet to hit his head.
The only time a turbo controller is useful is when your enemy is 1 foot in front of you and you want to get the lead out as quickly as possible.

And as for the people who call it cheating. Turbo controllers are nothing new. Nintendo even made their own Turbo controllers on the NES and SNES.
It's not cheating.

"And as for the people who call it cheating. Turbo controllers are nothing new. Nintendo even made their own Turbo controllers on the NES and SNES.

And for the people who calling stabbings "murder", knives are nothing new. Cavemen even made early forms of knives.
Stabbing someone to death isn't murder.

It has nothing to do with when it came into existence, it's how they're used.

big_silky5806d ago

The difference is that on nes there wasn't any such thing as leaderboards or online competitions for real prizes and the like. Its a basic sense of honor that gamers today lack.

Xander7565806d ago

Right. With the advent of online console gaming, the "official" turbo controllers ceased to exist. I remember they made turbo controllers for the PS1 as well.

Kakkoii5805d ago

I don't know what FPS's you're playing, but in more realistic ones like Modern Warfare 2, turbo controllers can give you a huge advantage. Because they allow you to fire guns that are single shot per trigger pull at extremely fast speeds. And shoot your akimbo weapons off at the exact same time, keeping them in sync.

EasySMX D05 review

You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.

I fail to see how this is AI shhhhlllloooop. Looking at the different games they showed, this has made many of them look far better.

isarai_lee95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

It's AI slop because it ignores the artists intent and changes the details ESPECIALLY when it comes to character faces. The scariest part of it is introducing it as the next stage of DLSS, a feature where the current iteration already has controversy surrounding it and for quite a lot of games cannot be fully disabled. So reasonably the precident is already set for what path this could take, and it's not good

blacktiger95d ago

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost and so on. Many of the lighting deletes shadow, including shadow on the face like eyes even chin.

Chard95d ago

Why stop at art when it comes to human input - why not just have AI play the game for us, remove human input altogether

theshizer95d ago

If you don’t like it, just don’t enable it. Personally I think it looks great from the videos I have seen.

isarai_lee95d ago

And what about when you can't? Cause there's plenty of games where you cannot fully disable dlss already, i mean we're well into an era where it's a major crutch for developers to cover up their cut corners, why would this be any different?

blacktiger95d ago

You are playing with people's money and allow Nvidia to scam you.

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost. This is all lie to raise the cost of the graphic card.

Andrew33695d ago

Making characters look more realistic not ok because we want the developer to decide on how the game was intended to look. - Internet

Change entire game through mods thus changing how the developers intended the game to be is ok. - Internet

isarai_lee95d ago

Something consumers can do to a product after they have purchased it, entirely optional and can always be undone with a fresh install

VS

The leading gaming hardware manufacturer making this the next iteration of the main AA/Upscaling technique that is heavily relied upod by modern devs and is not optional in most games.

Not at all the same but nice try

jwillj2k495d ago

At the moment you need 2 5090’s just to get an image on the screen so this is all vaporware until proven otherwise.

Andrew33695d ago

The good news is you can just not use it as well.

Christopher95d ago

It's all about choice in the end. But, I would say that calling it 'more realistic' is quite a stretch. It looks like AI art, and that's rarely realistic.

Urrakia3495d ago

All the comments I see are reminding me of how we got to the current state of gaming when microtransactions were first introduced: "It's completely optional guys, we promise! If you don't like it just don't buy it!"

I think we all know how that ended up.

Popsicle95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

I had the same exact thought the first time this was brought up in a separate article about a week ago. Took me straight back to the conversations surrounding “horse armor.” Just don’t buy it they said. Years later, many IPs I previously enjoyed are so infected with monetization schemes that I don’t even consider purchasing them anymore.

DLSS 5 and the like are the same thing wrapped in a different package. History rhymes but many of us never learn from it.

blacktiger95d ago

Biggest Scam. Overrides lighting and shadow. So why keep Ray tracing? It's all a scam to raise graphic card. We now see Nvidia with Microsoft downturn anything against them. Sony is next!
