Annualised Call of Duty "a nice equilibrium with people's appetite"

Think the release of a new Call of Duty game every year is too much? Activision boss Eric Hirshberg told Eurogamer that all the company is doing it meeting fan demand.

The majority of people with that appetite are 12 year old hyperactive kids with the attention spans of goldfish.

Videogame development is like cheese or wine, it gets better with age.

king_george3887d ago

Lol duke nukem aged like milk

GarrusVakarian3887d ago

Haha, damn i forgot about that game.

@ king_george
Milk, hahahaha

Mikeyy3887d ago

Duke got gearboxed just like aliens colonial marines. All the focus was on borderlands 2.

"Videogame development is like cheese or wine, it gets better with age."

I agree.

GraveLord3887d ago

Not at all. These "kids" can play the same game for months and months and not buy anything else. Short attention my ass.

I find it funny that people like you have a problem with people having different gaming tastes than you. I guess you also hate people who are of a different skin color or orientation than you? Your opinions and tastes are right, everything else is wrong, right?

GarrusVakarian3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Woah woah woah!, overreaction much. If you would have been reading my post properly you would see that i put the MAJORITY, dude i play call of duty myself every now and then and i enjoy it. But everyone knows CoD is filled with annoying ADHD children.

Not once did i say i had a problem with anything.
Hate other skin types? Wtf.
Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? You have taken what i said and applied it to race and sexual orientation when that has absolutely nothing to do with what im saying or what this article is saying.....that's messed up on your end dude. No wonder you only have 2 bubbles.

GarrusVakarian3887d ago

And i joined over 2 years ago actually, i made a new account :) So it seems you are wrong.

GraveLord3887d ago

1. You joined N4G only 13 days ago. You have no right to point out how many bubbles I have considering you probably made your account to regain yours.

2. It's a valid question. People have different tastes and opinions. If you think yours are better than their your have flawed logic.

3. The race and orientation was only used an example.

Just answer this question: Do you think your opinions and tastes are better or superior to others? Do you think playing Skryim for hundreds of hours makes you any better of a gamer than someone who plays COD all day every day?

GarrusVakarian3887d ago (Edited 3887d ago )

Of course i don't think that, you made CRAZY assumptions based on two sentences. It seems you are psychic now seeing as you can tell why i made a new account. You call me a creep when you are snooping around my account. I didnt in ANY way say my opinions are better than others.

This whole conversation is.... http://i.qkme.me/3s037f.jpg

It seems you shouldn't be accusing or making assumptions about anything or anyone seeing as you only have 2 bubbles, that tells me you arent liked, which doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

The COD audience want it. At this point you either know you want COD or you don't. There is no making COD better or changing it. It's minor iterations that will only stick if it sits with the hardcore COD audience. The game isnt for everyone.

JsonHenry3887d ago

Love or hate the series they sell this game yearly really well.

There is something to be said with quarterly DLC and annual releases. People love new content even if the overall game plays the exact same.

310dodo3887d ago

the numbers dont lie.
over 10 million copies sold for each COD since COD4.

COD is still fun. No longer breath taking, but still fun as ever.

Battlefield is a different game all together, but it is also very fun.

Mikeyy3887d ago

Well I'm hoping the masses will at least give battlefield 4 a shot this time around. They need to see that there is more to an. Fps then sprint, shoot, sprint, shoot.

360 no scope. Its just old..

STK0263887d ago

I've played every CoD and every Battlefield games. I like Call of Duty about as much as I like Battlefield, but not for the same reasons. Saying people should go and play Battlefield instead of Call of Duty because it offers a different take on the modern-setting shooter is similar to saying one should stop playing Counter-Strike to go and play Rainbow Six.

Call of Duty is faster paced than Battlefield, it has smaller arena style maps and no vehicles; you might not like it, but it doesn't mean it's objectively less fun than Battlefield. Battlefield does have the edge when it comes to graphics/physics/sounds, but it doesn't mean it's more fun to play for everyone.

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.

Amplitude793d ago (Edited 793d 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"
