Doesn't matter if it's been in there or added, it required a modification to the code and to a lawyer a small switch is the same as a total conversion so it'd set a legal precedent for mods. How the code was disabled doesn't matter, all that matters is that the code was not accessible in the unmodified build.
There are Action Replay codes for it, I think by now it's clear that this IS derelict code. Still doesn't matter, sounds like they were thinking of including it because God of War had sex minigames and nudity and got rated M but then someone got cold feet and ordered it to be removed. Probably shortly before the game…
What was Rockstar supposed to do? Hand over the game to the ESRB and say: "Oh yeah, we've got some old content & code in there for a sex game that you can't see or activate, some old art for this hooker character that's not there, this old code for driving unicycles that never gets run and I think someone used the word…
Dio: The PS2 version definitely has a means of unlocking the code... I'm not sure about the XBox, but I'd guess it was feasible. That'll be why they pulled it...
[ QUOTE ] Rockstar proven wrong. [/ QUOTE ] That still dosen't seem to hold much water to me. All it proves is that the old code for the minigame is there, no if it can be access from in the game. It's really simple to have say a boolean varible that they were using to toggle "questionable" material. While the console…
Just checked my local BlockBuster video, which is also a game rush branch. Theyve pulled San Andreas from the shelves. Am I mistaken that its the PC version that has a downloadable patch and that the PS2/Xbox versions dont have a means of unlocking the code?
let's try and keep this thread on topic and not decry the horrible injustices and double standards OMG WTF USA. this could really be a landmark case as relates to games and mods, and the ingredients are perfectly set up for one of those hairy precendence-setting cases, too. on the one hand, all the content is already in…
Good points, Gauss. While I don't think that R* should be held responsible, I can't help but think that R* knew what they were doing when they released this game with the "unused" code for the sex mini-game. I think they were looking for additional free publicity for an already controversial game.
Rick staying out of this thread on purpose? Or just not posting lately? jzero: The hacker claimed in the readme that it was just a minor modification to unlock existing code, he probably didn't know how much media attention it'll gather at that point, especially considering the sheer volume of "AO" content produced by…
