Next-Gen Visual Effects on Current-Gen? or the other way around . hope they use a new engine .

creatchee3700d ago

I wouldn't mind if they made a new engine and downported to 360 and PS3, but I'm tired of crossgen games holding back Xbox One and PS4's potential.

GearSkiN3700d ago

Still early that's why they still do port.

kayoss3700d ago

160 million ps3 and x360 world wide combined.Those are very large potential sale numbers. They will continue to make cross gen as long as they can.

creatchee3700d ago

I'm not saying you can't make the new games for last gen too, but design them on the new consoles and then port lesser versions to 360 and PS3.

COD feels like the 25 year old cat you have in your house. Every year it gets older and worse, yet it refuses to die and just hangs around.

COD needs a complete overhaul. The gameplay has been the same for X amount of years. Releasing the game each year is beginning to feel like a sports game.

DeadlyFire3699d ago

There will always be some improvement, but the visuals from PS3/X360 to next gen will be growing year to year in the future I believe.

Kryptonite42O3699d ago

I doubt they will use a new engine at this point.. Its too early, but one can only hope.

In all honesty, Infinity Ward needs to step aside and let Treyarch make another COD... Im still playing Black Ops 2, since Infinity Ward pooped the bed with that disappointment that is COD Ghosts. I bought it... played it a few times, then went back to blops2. I just wish I could play it on my X1..

Hopefully it's different experience but lessons taught me never to be excited for COD

angelsx3700d ago

No no no no we heard same shit before many times.

Ashunderfire863700d ago

All I really hope for is to get that excitement I got when Call of Duty first switch over to Modern instead of World War 2. It look so real like the war in the Iraq at the time. It was truly the best in the series.

I am looking for that surprising change in the Call of Duty series that will make you go wow like the first Modern Warfare!

TheGrimReaper00113700d ago

Dude! This one will have a new ai system, so they'll have birds fly out of the way when you get close
There's also new interactive smoke and wind
With highly advanced AI to make new dogs
this IS next Gen COD!

StarshipZero3700d ago

"Next-Gen Visual Effects on Xbox 360 and PS3"

This defies logic.

pwnsause_returns3700d ago

forget next gen fish...its all about that next gen Dog AI...

dazzrazz3700d ago

When did anything coming from PR Activision had ever any logic :P

HurtfulTimez3700d ago

Yep i think they really need to go back to basics and make it a military shooter instead of a terrible cheesy holloywood blockbuster film wannabe.... COD4 was great beacause it was about shooting people. not all this throwing knives and axes and stabbing people from 10 feet away we see now...

press-start3700d ago

well expect this game to look s@it then

Number-Nine3700d ago

Fish AI now swims up and down, towards you and in circles.

Players claim Fortnite ruined Call of Duty by letting in more corporate greed

Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.

Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.

The "good ole days" are actually what drove me away from COD and Halo 3/Reach. Halo 4 becoming a COD-like drove me away from that only a week or so after it launched and I beat its campaign.

It sucked way back then, going a month or two without playing online-shooter-of-the-moment, and then needing to buy a $15 map pack to play with the majority of the population or your favorite playlist. The "community" rejecting Spartan Points in MCC killed that game's support, too. No revenue = no support, plain and simple.

franwex8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?

Inverno6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Exactly! Trends don't all need to be followed. Plus where Fortnite got somewhat better with it's monetization, Acti got worse. Or at least Fortnite has lended itself more to the wacky stuff, and has put more effort and quality into that stuff.

jjb19816h ago

I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.

PRIMORDUS6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.

Psychonaut856h ago

Call of Duty ruined Call of Duty. They needed no outside assistance.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons7d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
