Kotaku- Last week, 15-year-old Nehemiah Griego killed his entire family: both parents and three siblings. He confessed to the crime, saying he did it because he was frustrated with his mother. And he got really excited to discuss violent video games with the police, according to an NBC report.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.

We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
the game put the gun in the house? in his hand? if yes then i see the connection.
"Teenage Murderer Says He Loves Violent Video Games. NBC Thinks There’s A Connection."
He likes "violence" and by extension "violent" games, a lot of us like violent games but we don't go and butcher people, the people who do that are "psychopaths" trying to blame violent games for the actions of a madman is ludicrous...
Why is it that when some psycho goes on a killing spree, authorities always try to take guns/video games/civil liberties away from those who DIDN'T do anything?
Am I the only one who thinks that this is all just a huge conspiracy to bring down the videogame industry. Stuff like this happens every single day and the media only shows us the ones that they think will get people thinking. This is happening too often to be a coincidence.
" Nehemiah Griego did not elaborate on a motive for the shocking crime, but he had plenty to say about his love for video games"
If you're this disconnected from what you just did; killing your parents and 3 siblings. Then it has NOTHING to do with video games.
Also from the actual article:
" The father, a reformed gang member who used to run a halfway house for ex-cons on his property, had taught his son how to shoot, police said."
Yeah video games...
