I must say the new Fish A.I is a game changer ;)

Snookies123983d ago (Edited 3983d ago )

It's amazing, it's like the fish are real!! That is easily worth $60, in fact I want to pay extra for it!

Elit3Nick3983d ago

When you see fish change their direction in front of you, you will games like you've never seen them before ;)

DeadlyFire3982d ago

They do know that some PS2 games featured fish moving out of the way when you played them. Call of Duty featuring this for the first time is not a great achievement.

"Upgraded Engine" Fixed.

NeXXXuS3983d ago

Yup. I watched the interview and when asked about The "new engine," he completely dodged the question and said that all it was is an upgraded quake engine. Not really like its something new since theyve been lying to their fans for a long time now.

Has anyone noticed that people on this site never are happy with anything in regards to gaming?

When it comes to COD, the games can be fun for a lot of people, who cares what coding they use? It's a common practice to keep some coding, all the "top" engines do the same thing, and at the end of the day, isn't fun and functionality more important? Maybe it's just me.

adorie3983d ago

The people who have put money into this series on an annual basis deserve a new engine. It's sad that a billion dollar company like GreedVision can't put some money into a new engine, because investors are the most important aspect of their entire company. Blizzard and all.

Jek_Porkins3983d ago

People could just not buy it if they wanted to vote with their wallets, I buy pretty much every COD game, but I wish I had skipped BO2 and MW3.

TheGrimReaper3983d ago

" It's a common practice to keep some coding, all the "top" engines do the same thing"

"top" engine, 2013, quake engine
One of the top three doesn't fit, guess which.

It's ok to just optimise your engine, but how much has this engine evolved since Modern Warfare?
You are trying to defend Activision and their decision to use this old engine instead of developing a new engine for X1&PS4? I guess they haven't earned enough money yet to fund the development...
It's getting ridiculous.

Salooh3983d ago

Imagine releasing cod4 with cod2 gameplay and a little improvement in graphics. Do you think it would be famous like this ?. They are doing this.They just changed the story of mw3 and made the graphics a little bit better in texture. That's it..

They fired the people who made cod4. They are not making anything that makes me feel i will play a next generation cod even though they have the money to do it. They deserve the negative. Fun is not enough for a next generation console. They can do that on ps3 easily. The increase of negative in this site is only because of the disappointment of ms conference.

I respect your opinions but sometimes you act like the bad things never happened. They are changing the way we are playing games but in a bad way instead of really evolve gaming. It's like they made next generation console just to put these limitations. Give credit for who deserves it. Without saying our opinion they won't knee to us gamers. Right now company think they own us instead of serving us that's why they make these limitations.

All they need to do is make what we love and we give them money. But gaming is getting more complicated..

MysticStrummer3983d ago

"Has anyone noticed that people on this site never are happy with anything in regards to gaming?"

Since that's not true at all, I doubt many people have noticed it.

You're all the proof anyone needs that the bubble system is a joke, by the way.

AzaziL3982d ago

When Battlefield 1942 was made, they didn't borrow some engine from another game, they made their own from scratch. When that engine began to show it's age five years and a few releases later, they scrapped it and created Frostbite from scratch. They accomplished this on a budget merely a fraction of what CoD rakes in yearly. Any excuses that the CoD devs have about not being able to make a "new" engine is bull.

quenomamen3982d ago

Or maybe lazzy ass developers should stop saying they got a " Brand New Engine " for their first next gen game, knowing godamn well their full of shit. But hey, maybe thats just me.

NeXXXuS3983d ago (Edited 3983d ago )

The point is that they lied about having a completely new engine and when it came to asking about it, they said it was just an upgraded quake engine. This is one of the reasons i don't buy games from companies like this. They have no respect for the fans who enjoy CoD

Gamer-Z3983d ago (Edited 3983d ago )

Like it matters, the people that like COD don't play it for the graphics obviously or they would have stopped playing a long time ago. Anyways i suspect Activision will not have an easy time promoting COD next gen when every other game will be running at 60fps with way better graphics than what we are seeing from COD's old slightly upgraded engine.

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth793d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo793d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy793d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad792d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX793d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam793d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje793d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad792d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude792d ago (Edited 792d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891754d ago (Edited 1754d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1754d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1754d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1753d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1754d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
