OXM UK writes: "This is a scarier Call of Duty than we've ever seen," announces the head of Treyarch, Mark Lamir. "The direction for the team was to make the best game they could, and as they were doing this they created a grittiness that quite frankly made some people very uncomfortable."
The developer behind Call of Duty 3 intends to explore some of the darkest corners of WWII with the fifth game in the series. According to creative lead Rich Farrelly, taking the series to the terrifying battle for the Pacific gives the game more in common with the survival horror genre than traditional war movie influences."
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
The original Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 games have been drawing players back in
I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
cant hurt considering that they are going back to WW2
if the ps3 version is the same as the xbox 360 version im buying this. Does anybody know when its suppose to come out?
the recent store update towards the psn added one of many videos, games, and demos. one video that caught my attention was this game. the polished video at 720p displayed a world at war trailer and i want to say something about that.
even though modern weapons are preferred over WW2 weapons, this games graphics are not looking so bad after all. Can anyone elaborate on if world at war will be using the same game engine of modern warfare???
i might just buy it, it doesnt look so bad.
after all, im a realistic shooter whore...
the shot of berlin looked great. i wasn't planning on getting this but i'm going to give it a hard look now. if they do bring out the ferocity of the fighting that took place in berlin; this will be a must have war game.
