EleetCheat.Com Exclusive Interview @ XenonWeb.Us

[Xenon]

      NOTE: Since 13th of March 2008 the EleetCheat.Com website has been "closed"! - we do not know what is the reason behind this unfortunate event: we have sent an e-mail and did not receive a response. If by any chnace the owner of EleetCheat.com reads this interview again, we ask him/her kindly to contact us in order to explain what happened to the site. However, you can still read the interview below and enjoy the videos.

      Dear readers, we're happy to report that the Xenon Web Magazine Team has found another team of ownators on the web (hey, it takes one to know one!): the game-trainer creators from EleetCheat.com. They are very good at making video game trainers because they use advanced methods in order to come up with unique and efficient trainers. Of course they are not the only ones who do that, but they were the only ones (and also the first) to insert special options for some game-trainers of big titles, like Hellgate: London (in the image above), Crysis, Gears of War, Need For Speed, Stalker, Bioshock and many others. So we thought we'd give them a chance to speak about their work to our readers in this exclusive interview.

XenonWeb.Us:
When did you start your website project and what are the main goals?

EleetCheat.Com:

      The website officially opened in November of last year (2007). We opened to a sweeping onslaught of Christmas releases which took all of our spare Christmas vacation time to overcome. The site was born out of a general love for reverse engineering but more specifically creating trainers for the latest games, we felt people were just not getting the quality they deserved from elsewhere on the net, our plans have diversified somewhat from our original plan as now we only host our OWN projects and originally we planned to host all trainers that were any good, this is still a possibility but because of the workload and server space its very much on the back burners.

XenonWeb.Us:
What type of games do you usually make trainers for?

EleetCheat.Com:

      Over the last 10 years we have created trainers for every type of game you can imagine, today’s PC games market is now unfortunately only populated by a few game types, probably because they can’t afford to experiment with every game costing millions to make. The main game types today are First Person Shooter (FPS), Real Time Strategy (RTS), Role Playing Game (RPG), Simulations (SIMS) and finally GOOD games, I guess you can easily fit 95% of all games released for the PC into one of those types, we still dream of the days when programmers could use their genius to come up with games such as LEMMINGS and CANNON FODDER but it's unlikely we will ever revisit those days.

Hellgate: London ownage trainer in action

XenonWeb.Us:
What is the favorite game of most of the members of the team? Is it "Hellgate: London"? Tell us why as well.

EleetCheat.Com:

      The camp here are well and truly split on Hellgate London, the testers and web guys absolutely love the game and can’t get enough, our trainer creators can’t stand the sight of the game, though this is 100% normal, when you have spent 50, 60, 70 hours + looking at the same part of the game it really starts to ruin the magic associated with that FIRST RUN through, this is the same with every game we come across. Hellgate: London from a REVERSERS perspective was solid gold, it was a very unusual engine that required a lot of thinking about and certainly tested us. In general the trainer maker’s team agreed that making trainers is basically a power trip so the games we love the most are definitely the BIG titles, Far Cry, Crysis, Gears of War, etc. These games are so amazing the buzz from being able to CONTROL them and MANIPULATE them is huge.

XenonWeb.Us:
Would you make trainers for older (like the ones from 2-3 years ago) but really interesting games?

EleetCheat.Com:

      Generally if the game is a BIG title and released in the last 9 years or so then one of us would have trained it anyways, but yes, we have no concern over the age of a game, if a great game came to light that had nothing created for it then we would spend time looking at it just for the pleasure to work with one more great title.

XenonWeb.Us:
What are your next targets in terms of game titles?
EleetCheat.Com:

      Currently we are working our way through the many demos released, when the actual games come out we can just update our code to match the new games code and have a trainer out MUCH faster, the current titles we are working on are: HARD TO BE A GOD, WARHAMMER 40k SOULSTORM and THE CLUB. There are problems with working with demo code which we have come across in the past, the final game (AS IN HELLGATE) is so different from the demo it’s almost like having to retrain the game again so we try and keep the demos to a minimum.

XenonWeb.Us:
Obviously, there are other websites on the Internet offering video-game trainers - what is so "ownage" about the ones you offer?

EleetCheat.Com:

      Without sounding too conceited, we don't feel there is anyone to compete with us in any way whatsoever, these other sites don't even use proper reversing techniques, they use a quick and EASY pointer system which is aided by a utility called CHEATENGINE, you can spot these FAKE trainers because they never have INFINITE HEALTH they always have TOP UP HEALTH, or LOTS OF HEALTH, and they have no SPECIAL OPTIONS, everything they offer will be to do with topping something up or adding 2000 to it, such as gold, this is because they are not altering the CODE as proper trainers should do, they are simply resolving the memory locations and poking values, this gives 2 benefits:

- You can churn out LOTS of these fake trainers fast.
- Updates are nonexistent; you just have to redo the pointers which takes seconds.

      If people want sub standard trainers that they could EASILY create themselves then that’s up to them, we offer REAL trainers with UNIQUE options that will be found nowhere else on the net, unless we have been ripped off of course A small piece of advice: if a trainer has an option that baffles you completely or amazes you, then it’s a REAL Trainer; but if it has options that top things up or add values to something, don't pay for it.

XenonWeb.Us:
Do you create game-trainers out of a passion in your spare time, or are you planning to make it a full-time job?
EleetCheat.Com:

      It's all voluntary at the moment, it’s only our passion that drives us to create the next new options for the next new game, everything we get from donations goes back into running the site and expanding or buying games which enables us to produce more trainers, so the more support we get the more we can do, it would be very nice one day to turn it into a full time job but that day is far from here, we are happy to give up our free time for the good of the gaming community.

XenonWeb.Us:
How fast can you make game trainer releases once the games are out for sale?

EleetCheat.Com:

      We have a policy we have stuck to since the very start: we give ourselves about 3 days to gather info and research the title, we then produce a BASIC trainer which will have (depending on the difficulty of training the game) a few basic options, perhaps more, these options will be given to our members so they can at least be getting on with SOMETHING while we spend the next 2 days completing the special options that everyone loves. All in all we take from 5 to 7 days again, depending on the difficulty of the game engine to train.

XenonWeb.Us:
Why do you think most of the trainer-creators out there limit their releases to just a few basic options, like "eternal life", "ammo" and "eternal magic"?

EleetCheat.Com:

      The art of training has been dying for a very long time now, a few years ago the trainer scene was huge and buzzing with a lot of talent, people were creating new tutorials for newbies to understand the concepts of more complex options but too many times their works were abused and people would end up slagging down the tutorial creators even though these people had learnt from those works themselves, ultimately the tutorials dried up but the games kept getting harder to train, coming to a point where to produce anything other than the options you mention above you would have to have extensive knowledge of reversing. People today are just NOT willing to put in the effort, they don't have the skill and so they simply release sub standard trash that half the time doesn't work.

XenonWeb.Us:
What do you think is the impact of your trainers on the gaming community and in what way do they change a gamer's experience?

EleetCheat.Com:

      On a more personal level, we feel that it’s a simple equation of GREAT TRAINER = MORE VALUE FOR MONEY, let me explain this a little: Our gaming public will go out and spend 40 dollars on a game, they will play this game extensively perhaps to the point of completing it , maybe even many times over, eventually this replay factor diminishes, after this time he goes looking for a trainer, and this is where the comparison comes in. If he uses the FAKE poke value trainers they change his game in NO POSSIBLE WAY because these trainers constantly give the same boring options, replenish health, replenish magic, basically it’s like have a lot of health potions... or bandages with you.. How is that making the game more exciting?? It simply doesn't!

      Now, come along to ELEETCHEAT.COM and join up, or if you can't afford to support us just wait for the public release dates, either way you will be in for a treat. Our options not only cover the basics, infinite health and infinite magic (reversed the PROPER way) but we also have special options designed specifically for the gamer who has paid 40 dollars for his game. Our options enable you to have more control over the game, play different tactics, and see things you were never supposed to see. Here are a few examples:

CRYSIS:

      - GRENADE MASTER - you control when grenades explode, turning them into mini detonator land mines, this option alone we spent 3 hours just blowing up idiot troops.

WARHAMMER 40k

      - PLAY AS ANY ARMY - this enabled you to build anything from ALL armies in the game instead of just restricting you to one army. The list is endless, and these are the options that give you BACK your 40 dollars to replay over and over.

XenonWeb.Us:

      Thank you EleetCheat.com for answering our questions and we wish you the best with your project. We just love doing some serious ownage while playing our favourite videogames by using the trainers you made.
