If I got the source code for Silent Hills I would definitly send it back to Konami out of spite for Kojima and his insufferable fanbase.

can someone spoonfeed a brainlet here about code? why can we not extract/view the source code for games that are out?

There is no justice in the world.

call of duty 2 so i could make a version of the game where the Germans win.

Why would they annex either of those? Austrians are germans who speak german.

Not to mention illegal for any non-free software even if we found a way to reverse engineer it.

>>389104784
Developers deal with a "pretty" version of the code. Variables and functions are named sensibly (the number of hitpoints you have could be called NUM_HITPOINTS for instance), and things are complicated but possible to understand. But when it's "compiled" it gets turned into machine code, extremely terse, dense, nothing is named sensibly anymore (because obviously the computer doesn't care), and the whole thing becomes a giant soup.

They give you the soup, which your computer runs just fine and keep the source code, the thing which is actually understandable by humans. It's theoretically possible (and very illegal) to turn that soup back into source code, but in almost all cases it's practically impossible.

Once compiled from the source code into machine code it's very difficult to read and understand.

No it isn't.

>>389106193
what is a decompiler

>>389106473
You're not getting the actual source code.

>>389106473

just theory, because otherwise companies would just "decompile" games from another successful devs, and copy things for their own.

>>389106616
Depending on the original compiler and language you can get back things that are readable

>>389106193
With the machine code, you have all the values and how they all interact with each other. That's all you strictly need to create a program that behaves identically.

>>389104784
So when you're programming you typically program in human-readable programming languages like C, C++, C#, or Java. Right off the bat those aren't readable by the computer, they have to be 'compiled' by a compiler which turns all that code into something that can be read by the computer (binary). When it does this there's a HUGE loss of unnecessary data that the computer doesn't need but the human writing the code would need like function names, variable names, object names. Something like "int killCount = 0" (an integer by the name killCount that's initially set to 0) when compiled would lose the name 'killCount', and so if you were to look through memory if you were trying to figure out how the program worked you wouldn't even know what that is specifically without testing.

Now decompilers do exist, but you'd lose program readability and it wouldn't really even be the original source because the compiler does lots of optimization when its converting it down to binary / asm.

>>389102870
At least we have the source code and dev sdk for the stalker engine

>>389106749
>That's all you strictly need to create a program that behaves identically.
That's not the source code though. It will be mangled for something the size of AAA game.

Breath of The Wild desu, could you imagine the modding potential?

>>389105402
>It's theoretically possible (and very illegal) to turn that soup back into source code
are there famous examples where people did that?

Guild wars 1

>>389106869
It won't be identical (in the aspects that get compiled away), but you could turn it into something readable and understandable with enough effort and testing.

>>389106802
Even ignoring things like names different source code will compile to the same binary so there's no way to decompile them both correctly.

I don't think HTML is ever compiled into machine code, anon.

>>389107176
it's not, but the result is the same.

>>389107142
Yeah, I tried to make that point but I'm like super distracted rn and its hard for me to get all my thoughts down in a short and concise post.

City of Heroes/Villains. It'd be fun to play it again.

>>389107147
but how will you get a gf?

Elder scrolls games.

>>389106869
With enough autism it's possible to make a certain amount of sense out of machine code. I remember reading about people who would decompile really old games for the fun of it. Another example would be the creators of Sonic Mania, who familiarized themselves with the classic games' machine code so they could more authentically maintain the original feel.

Also, Project M is a brawl mod that makes extensive use of injecting new machine code into the vanilla game's executable.

If you play offline how are you going to find someone to trim your armor for free?

This. The real Prey 2.

>>389104285
Anything that helps emulator developers get a good insight into how a console works is the correct choice for source code.

If not the Panzer Dragoon games, it would be NiGHTS.

>>389107665
Once you complete hardcore ironman you can trim your own armour

Warhammer TW or Attila.

I just want fucking map editing back or for Warhammer to let you import models. If maps could be edited then we'd see all these mods that are just treading water wasting time because few people are interested in custom battles only.

>Attila having India and Afghanistan featured so you can have white huns
>Settlements switched up so you can have a proper medieval experience.
