CraveOnline writes: "Call of Duty: Ghosts Producer Yale Miller had a lot to say when we sat down to speak with him at this week's Call of Duty: Ghosts Multiplayer Reveal. When asked to describe the game in one word he said "new", and went on to explain the bold reengineering of Call of Duty's formula. He even explains why Call of Duty: Ghosts is so successful, directing attention at the development team's uncompromising passion."

Only thing I see that is new is the UI/GUI...

Everything else though, Just the same with rehashed stuff.

JonahNL3897d ago

As if BF4 is doing a lot of "new" things. If you want to hate on COD, also hate on the other sequels that, by far, aren't as innovative as most people claim.

AO1JMM3897d ago

Assume much? Who mentioned BF4 besides you?

USA0073897d ago

For consoles BF4 is getting a major upgrade now that it has PC features that changes the game immensely if you play BF3 on any console.

Destruction is way better, not just scripted events. Better suppression.

JonahNL3897d ago (Edited 3897d ago )

@AO1JMM
Yes, it is most definitely an assumption. It is also the most logical one, since this year it's once again BF vs. COD and most fanboys of the former party tend to glorify BF4. I am looking forward to it just as much, but I also laugh a little inside when I see so many features from BC2 and BF2 return that people were screaming for all these years in BF3, yet it's claimed that BF4 is doing new things. Right...

@USA007
Effectively the only difference is 64 players and though this is new for console it's not something new to the series. Name me one thing about BF4 that is brand spanking new and changes the way the game plays. Most of the stuff that has been added comes from BC2, like the destruction, C4 and sensor grenades.

USA0073897d ago

-counter knife
-5 man squads
-peak over obstructions
-canted iron sights with scopes
-new attatchments/ pistol attatchments
-commander mode app
-dynamic weather and time
-water physics

Along with all the things brought back from previous games. I would also call the destruction different than BC2, but because there was destruction I won't add it.

JonahNL3897d ago

@USA007
Those are fine additions, but, in my honest opinion, only the five man squads make a tremendous difference. To be fair, I had actually forgotten about that and it's one of the many reasons I am excited for BF4.

Can't we all just agree that BF4 and Ghosts are carefully tweaked mixes of the best games in their respective series? I am actually glad that BF4 is taking lessons from BC2 and that Ghosts looks and, as far as I can tell, feels more like MW2 again.

USA0073897d ago

I can agree that these are both finely tuned games, but I feel COD has had too much time/games to fine tune itself. BF games are constantly different and changing while COD has had 7 iterations of the same game with only minor additions and are otherwise rehashing/reskinning the game before it. It was nice for a while, but many of us have grown tired and will only come back to COD if a major change occurs

Everyone just whines but there are some new things in there.

The field orders are pretty cool and not something I've personally seen before. I think the "destruction" is beyond silly, I mean I guess it's ok but I would call it more intractable maps than destruction.

The perk system is an intersting idea the way they are going about it and cranked is an interesting if not flawed mod for team deathmatch.

Plus, they've invented teleporting dogs...so that's kinda cool.

It still looks fun to play and I'll probably pick it up at some point (it's not like COD doesn't keep it's playerbase for a while)

jjb19813897d ago

I will own both because they each have their own place in my game time.

elhebbo163897d ago

true, whatever floats peoples boats.

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

Minimoth792d ago

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

KyRo792d ago

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

XbladeTeddy792d 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.

TheLigX792d ago

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

Yppupdam792d 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.

victorMaje792d ago

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

MadLad791d 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

MarkyMark891753d ago (Edited 1753d 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.

zeal0us1753d ago

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

starchild1753d 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.

isarai1753d ago

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