Call of Duty: Ghosts 'on track to be most pre-ordered game of 2013'

Call of Duty: Ghosts is "on track to be the most pre-ordered title of the year," GameStop has claimed, despite publisher Activision stating that pre-orders for the upcoming shooter "are well below the record-setting pace" set by last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Wasn't it last week that the CEO of something or another said that it had pretty low preorders because people didn't know what console to get it for?

mewhy323874d ago

Well I have to say that I'm not really surprised by the high pre order numbers. I mean it's a rinse and repeat recipe by Activision at this point.

How bout most "traded-in" game for 2014

Gamer19823873d ago

Hardly anybody pre-orders this game anymore, most people I know buy it launch day at stores like Morrisons, TESCOs, and ASDA as they always do some crazy deal like get the game for £25 if you spend £100 on shopping. In fact it happens every year now that nobody I know who does buy the game buys it from there normal source of games.

thekhurg3873d ago

I think he was talking exclusively about next-gen. This statement encompasses every platform the game is releasing on, not just focusing specifically on PS4/Xbone.

Gamer19823873d ago

I think BF4 may beat it to that.

Donnieboi3874d ago

Wow, have the people who pre-ordered this actually SEEN the game? It looks terrible imo. Looks like the same old engine, even on next gen hardware (when watching on youtube even in 1080p). Sad.

wellard3873d ago

It is the same engine isnt it?

Gamer19823873d ago

It is the same old engine just re-branded a new engine and if anybody actually seen the PC version in previous years they would have an indication of how its going to look on ps4 and xbone. I'll give you a clue.. Not much better than PS3/360 version. Don't forget these games are gonna be based off PC code as its easiest way to port and the engines gonna be upgraded a bit sure as there adding a dog (giggle) but its still gonna look like the PC version. Get on youtube and look at black ops 2 videos for pc @ 1080p. Thats what your looking forward to on your xbone PS4 from COD ghosts.

Deividas3874d ago (Edited 3874d ago )

Not really sure why everyone's so surprised...
As much as it pains me to say it, people kinda like call of duty. But GTA is giving it a run for its money

ZBlacktt3874d ago

Have they seen GTA V's numbers? Heck have they seen BF4's numbers, lol.

PSnation43874d ago

gta v has a chance.. BF4 no..just no

xruiner893874d ago

BF4 pre-orders are beating Ghosts.

3874d ago
BLAKHOODe3873d ago

@xruiner89

I think BF4 is beating COD on PS3 pre-orders, but across ALL consoles, COD is dominating BF4.

Deividas3874d ago

Top 10 preorders, 4 call of duty and 2 Battlefield. Battlefield will not outsell COD, will NEVER happen. GTA V though, thats a different story

ZBlacktt3874d ago (Edited 3874d ago )

Yeah, I guess most are sticking with the current Gen on COD/BF on XBox. They get the $10 upgrade I bet. While the PS players are pretty much moving up to Next Gen.

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

Minimoth791d ago

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

KyRo791d ago

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

XbladeTeddy791d ago

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

MadLad791d 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.

TheLigX791d ago

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

Yppupdam791d 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.

victorMaje791d ago

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

MadLad790d 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.

Amplitude791d ago (Edited 791d 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

MarkyMark891752d ago (Edited 1752d 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.

zeal0us1752d ago

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

starchild1752d ago

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

zeal0us1752d ago

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

isarai1752d ago

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