Some people like to think that Cheats have vanished from video games...I don't think that's true but then again what was the last game i played with cheats?
It was most likely....GRAND THEFT AUTO 5!
Yes i believe that was the last game i played which had cheats in. This game came out back in 2013 originally but then came out once more on the current gen consoles a year later.
Also the last code i used that worked was for a secret item in Rocket League but i am unsure to class it as a cheat or not but hey here it is - At the starting screen, before the title screen appears and without skipping any previous splash screens, press Up(2), Down(2), Left, Right, Left, Right, Circle, X, Options. When the title screen appears, the text will read "Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars", which was an older title from the game's developer.
I love Rocket League and i felt like i had to share the code to any of my friends reading this, incase they did not know already but here is the code to unlock a cool item and Easter egg so enjoy everyone!
Originally cheat codes started for the testers as a way of debugging games, they were basically codes in the games themselves. Back in the days of early 90's gaming and before that if these cheat codes were removed by the developers it would cause the game some game breaking bugs and glitches. Back then only a select amount were allowed to stay in games only to simply test the game out and make sure everything works. Games these days are made so differently and with more tech so it makes it easier to remove these codes and just glue up most bugs in the games coding but of course this "gluing process" does not make the games stable and fully debugged at all since as time has progressed things have become quite complex and thus is why most games come out buggy on release specifically Ubisoft games.
Cheat codes were thought of to be a taboo matter back with last gen as if you used them, the trophies and achievements would get disabled which sucks. If you loved using cheats on ps2 or xbox etc it felt as if using cheats was punishment in a way, because jumping from ps2 to ps3 and to play a gta title was a slap in the face it felt like. Cheats on GTA in the PS2 days "go nuts kid" and then in PS3 days it was "Sorry kid we have to turn trophies off if you wish to use cheats." and my response was "why?!" why do this to us gamers? Your most reliable fans? Why slap us for using codes you guys supplied the general public with? Was it really the publisher's fault or was it the maker of the consoles we have fault for the disablement of trophies or achievements on the console we used these codes on?
Cheats have existed for years and even though people may say they have faded least we forget they have and will always exist under their alternative name known as, Mods.
I suppose the Konami code will still work on Konami games for well ever because it's the longest most reliable cheat code in history but time will tell if that get's erased or not down the line, in this dark age of loot boxes and vr gaming.
Don't worry too much though, we still have fond memories of cheats we used and we can only hope cheats return to full form in the next gen of gaming and that our fave sandbox games like GTA and Saints Row will have cheats because without cheats those games would not be the same.
Thanks for reading!
Stay Shiny!
GAME ON!
