We shouldnt have these problems in the first place.
If there are bugs/glitches before release then delay the
game until they are fixed.
Shouldnt be having connection problems after the
crap PS3 owners put up with on black ops i honestly
thought MW3 would of sorted that out by now.

Noticeably_FAT5291d ago

Boo hoo, seriously, every game has post launch issues, did you complain about all the BF3 issues? or is it simply because this is COD?

Call off the hounds people.

jaosobno5291d ago

And it is because of people like you we keep getting bugged games. People that are simply ok with buggy products because "every game has post launch issues".

We paid for this stuff, and we should get a fully working product! And no, this has nothing to do with BF3, but it has everything to do with basic decency which most developers and publishers seem to lack these days.

Noticeably_FAT5291d ago

@jaosobno
Every game has issues, that's why we have patches, even your favorite PS3 exclusives have bugs, the only reason people are flipping out is because it's COD. Get over it.

HarryMasonHerpderp5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

What do you mean boo hoo?
people work hard to earn their money.
The game costs £40 to buy im sick of oh its okay
because it will get patched.
Thats just not good enough especially
since not everyone is connected to the internet.
What do those guys get for their £40?
a broken game that cant be repaired.
Who brought up battlefield except for you?
this is a problem with alot of games this gen.
Its not just a COD thing .For example skyrim,such an amazing game but wow its so broken first 5 minutes of playing it i had people walking backwards and opening doors i shouldnt be able to enter yet and then the game just froze,its great that theres going to be a patch but it shouldnt of been released so buggy.
I just dont understand why they dont release the games until they have been properly tested.
It just comes down to lazyness and money.

GraveLord5291d ago

WE are not having these issues. Maybe YOU are but WE, the majority, aren't. All these "framerate and freezing" issues have never happened to me. Am I that lucky? Not having any of these connection problems you're mentioning either. Man, you're really unlucky.

My PS3 internet browser on the on the other hand....crashes my PS3.

Codeman4205291d ago

Pretty sad that they still have a broken spawn system through 4 games now. Just go back to the COD4 spawn system and be done with it. that one worked the best and whoever decided to change it should be fired if they havent been already.

kevnb5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

its typical this gen, microsoft lowered the standards and sony has to go along with it. Not to mention virtually every ps3 game is just a lousy port.

Codeman4205291d ago

Agree and disagree at the same time. Yes it is now the standard to patch games after they are relased even if the problems are known. but If the game devs have any love for their game they would fix these issues before they release. yes patch after if something comes up that isnt known like glitches and stuff like that but if the issue is known fix the game before you ship it.

kevnb5291d ago

most these issues never get fixed, same thing happens on 360.

BattleAxe5291d ago

I'm playing Uncharted 3 right now.....doesn't look like Sony has gone along with it.

drsnobby5291d ago

How has MS lowered standards and what does that have to do with the freeze issues for the PS3.

kevnb5291d ago

theres a ton of issues with 360 games, they really lowered the requirements and sony cant do anything about it. Only thing sony can control is first party games.

Solidus187-SCMilk5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

considering that the PS3 versions of games constantly have more issues than their 360 counterparts, I think you should complain to sony and not MS.

TheDareDevil5291d ago

Why has microsoft "lowered the standards" this gen?

Codeman4205291d ago

He more or less talking about patching after the games release since MS started the whole thing Sony has followed suite because a game dev isnt going to fix one consoles issues ship it fixed while shipping another broken and patching it later. its cost efficient to ship all versions broke then patch later, which was started by MS.

testerg355291d ago

Weird considering PS3 exclusives get patches.

Codeman4205291d ago

as do MS exclusives, they few that they have. it started with MS and SOny followed suite not saying sony is the good guy here as they are at fault as well. BUt, it started with MS

Solidus187-SCMilk5291d ago (Edited 5291d ago )

yeah Xbox invented patches.....ahahhahahaha. Oh wait PCs have had patches for years before xbox 1 even existed.

His point is moronic considering that the ps3 versions of games constantly have more issues than the 360 versions and these are games made by third party devs, it has nothing to do with MS.

Maybe all these games getting patches has to do with the fact that these consoles are more like PCs than ever, most people have their console hooked up to the internet, and this gen we are seeing ALOT more PC games coming to consoles.

but blame MS when the PS3 versions of games are constantly more broken then their 360 counterparts. HAHAAHHHAHAHAAH

Yeah, Microsoft invented patches and its their fault that bethesda, IW and a bunch of other devs cant program for the PS3....

@codeman,last gen there were no patches for games if they were broken then tough,however this generationg MS allows devs to patch games online,how is that a bad thing and how is that lowering standards?

_Aarix_5291d ago

Yea, if the developers decide to release a game with bugs then that's their fault.

SephirothX215291d ago

Its CoD though. Its just one giant bug.

Modern Warfare 3 flooded with cheaters after arrival on Xbox Game Pass

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.

Jin_Sakai654d ago (Edited 654d ago )

“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.

Cacabunga653d ago

All about them headshots for Xbox

badz149654d ago

Gotta pump those numbers up

blackblades654d ago

That's a WTF, they suppose to be labeled as pc users even if its on PC game pass. They mess that up big time.

XiNatsuDragnel654d ago

Oh bad this will be entertaining to watch

ZycoFox653d ago

If AI keeps getting better (and it will) it's just a matter of time before there's more sophisticated cheats even for consoles, and they wouldn't even need to be running on it, I have little doubt about that.

lelo2play654d ago

Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.

Rynxie654d ago (Edited 654d ago )

They won't ever fix this problem, unless they (developers, publishers, Sony and MS) go after the cheat providers directly. You no longer need to hack consoles to use hacks. During the ps360 days, they were going after cheat devices, but it was a cat and mouse game. These cheating methods were around during those days, it's nothing new, but they kept it under control. Since the PS4/Xbox one generation, they stopped going after these cheating devices and it became widespread. Which I find odd, since they started charging for online play (PS4).

StormSnooper654d ago (Edited 654d ago )

Possibly, this is because the companies were going after cheats because the same cheats were being used to pirate the games, whereas today, the companies use online verification to prevent piracy, thus eliminating the need to go after people who cheat only to gain an advantage in the game. As long as the cheater remains below the radar, and does not completely break the game, the companies look the other way as their wallets are not threatened by it. (that is my completely Uneducated opinion on the matter)

pwnmaster3000654d ago

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.

Rude-ro654d ago

It all depends…
Microsoft’s guidance on how to handle gamepass on pc and their love to force crossplay with pc seems like a them issue.
And they own activision, so it is still a them issue.

StormSnooper654d ago

lol well that sucks.

Is there a reason this happened upon arrival on xbox?

Activision Reportedly Sold An AI-Generated Skin In Call Of Duty

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.

I mean, is this even surprising?

just_looken656d ago

It is not ubisoft has a ai tool for crating stories/script's they even talked about npc's having there own ai speech like we see with those skyrim mods.

Ai is the future sadly which sucks in so many way's.

S2Killinit656d ago (Edited 656d ago )

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.

Ea and ubisoft also use ai

ea using ai for development threatening mass layoffs.

ubisoft ai for npc speech

Almost every big boy in the industry is using ai in some sort of way now

Oh and sony? well they are making spyware ai were they can see how long it took you to do X and adjust difficultly.

How is that a response to what I said? Are they also selling AI generated skins?

@S2Killinit

You never mentioned skins in your comment just stated its all microsoft's fault like so many others.

When like i showed they are late to the ball game as every other company is using or plans to use ai in various field.

If you combine everything then its getting closer to hitting a button and poof out comes a game no soul no passion nothing.

Right now its art/3d models/skins/writing/voice work some and coding can all be done via ai.

S2Killinit656d ago (Edited 656d ago )

That was the whole point of my comment, I wrote it in response to the article. Instead of focusing on making exciting games and developing talented developers, they are busy making AI generated skins that people are buying for huge sums of money. Then, some people turn around and shit on Sony when it tries to capitalize on single player classics by making remasters, and the same people then complain that they want more single player games. MS cannabalized the industry because they never thought making games was essential to their business. So, instead of nurturing theor own studios, they let them die, then went and shrunk the industry, hurting interests of every gamer in the world. Anytime there is a bad trend in the industry, MS is at the helm, leading the way. That is what I’m saying.

smashman98656d ago

I'm sorry but do you honestly believe Sony will sit out of A.I. Every executive at every one of these publishers is wetting themselves in delight at the prospect of A.I. You best believe that once we start seeing it spread throughout the industry Sony won't be too far behind. The only people we'll have to blame are the consumers themselves.

S2Killinit656d ago (Edited 656d ago )

No, I don't believe that Sony will not do the same. But, as I mentioned, MS is always the first to embrace such things and create the worst trends. Once they establish that this is the best way to make money, everyone else will follow. (Have to follow if they want to stay competitive)

thesoftware730656d ago

S2, and blackblades:

All from the Horse's mouth below.

"Artificial intelligence (AI) in video games is crucial for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, who seek “personalization across everything,” says PlayStation executive Asad Qizilbash."

“Advancements in AI will create more personalized experiences and meaningful stories for consumers.”

"He emphasized that AI could enable non-player characters to interact with players based on their actions, enhancing the personal connection within the game."

Yeah, Just MS and Activision...smh

S2Killinit656d ago

I’ve already explained myself twice. Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good. Now, doing the same thing when someone brings up MS’s nefarious behavior, defend them to the end, and watch them scorch gaming as they have been. At least rest of us can take consolation in that the smoke will go in your eyes before anyone else’s.

thesoftware730656d ago (Edited 656d ago )

"Quit your false equivalence, same thing the xbox fateful pulled before and after the ABK acquisitions. Which by the way, blew up in your faces real good."

I'm not sure what you are talking about, you seem to have a issue communicating, because we are on a post about using AI to create video games content, and you put that solely at the feet of MS and Activision, when it's being, and will be used industry wide, right from Sony mouth, I would say it's relevant...then you went on to give Sony a spit shine slob down about a masterpiece TLoU when this had absolutely nothing to do with Sony or TLoU, then you attempted to clean up your rambling spit shine with no real backing for a ridiculous comment.

Obviously you meant to post that nonsensical over exaggerated comment. I also don't know what blew up in people faces, I am perfectly fine with the game industry, I don't have time to be internet outraged about nothingness.

Really read your comment and listen to what you said.

"Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever."

Bro, for real? Really? Seriously? It's that serious? So there is nothing Sony and Nintendo can do against MS and Activision? MS is 3rd place with you even talking about?

If we stay relevant on MTX, then you still sound ridiculous because again, you lay it all at MS and Activision's feet when almost all companies have used some form of MTX, including yup... Sony.

S2Killinit652d ago

I read this comment, it boiled down to “seeiously?”.

My answer: yes seriously. Since you didn’t say anything else, what else can I tell you? Yes MS is seriously ruining gaming. They have been for some time, and working their way to where we are today, and aren’t even done yet. MS are the worst thing to happen to console gaming.

"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.

OldDuffer656d ago

Thats actually a very useful and informative piece, thank you.

@OldDuffer

Your welcome though it seems it went over many users heads.

PapaBop656d ago

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.

montebristo656d ago

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!
