Author writes "Activision's press release certainly paints a picture of a publisher exceptionally pleased with the performance of its latest game. But I’m not so sure the figures they’re actually speaking to tell the whole story."
A cancelled Call of Duty game titled "NX1" had footage surface online, along with a Black Ops 4 unreleased mode called "War."
That Neversoft logo took me back to Tony Hawk days. Sad to see this cancellation led to the studio closure.
It’s always sad to see great concepts destroyed so deep into development. They obviously had a lot of ideas and aren’t happy about it. Now withe layoffs even more videos like this will surface soon.
Details of the cancelled campaign from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 – the only game in the franchise without a dedicated single-player mode – have been leaked after four years.
This week's Deals with Gold selection on Xbox has rubbed certain Xbox fans the wrong way, as several Call of Duty titles are still ludicrously priced - despite being discounted by up to 67% off over the next few days.
How is 20 dollars for X360 call of duty games "ludicrously" overpriced?
And with Activision's lawer bills skyrocketing at the moment you are not going to be seeing deep discounts for a bit.
"Many have also noted how the multiplayer in several of these titles is either dead or filled with hackers, meaning players are paying a hefty sum for a short campaign and potentially some zombie modes."
With these clear truths the decades older COD games should be permanently 19.99 regular price and sale prices 7.99 minimum
Any fps game runs by the quirk engine follows this logic
Eat
Sleep
Die instantly
Repeat
As if the main purpose of the game more of "repeat" than the actual gameplay experience , any noob in this game will tell you his mind stucked in repeating the sequence number of deaths than the gameplay itself , what a complete pile of #.
All the back compat titles are cheap listing when you scroll through them u till you come to black ops it's a complete rip off
Well... Don't buy it..... Is it really that hard to comprehend?
Everything else you choose to purchase with your hard earned cash , so should games be held to the same reasoning....
Just don't give em the cash....
Entitlement that's bizarre, from the publisher and from the consumer.... Thats pretty fkd up if you think about it...
Well, stocks are falling so this very well could be true.
It definitely got the headlines Activision intended tho...
Really interesting article. Wonder if Activision’ll leave behind single-player going forward?
I agree with everything except the last paragraph. Didn't they still have 3 years of development on this game? I thought they scraped what they had and started over. I'd imagine the development costs were still the same for this game. They will probably be cheaper going forward though if they leave the single player out from now on.
Main reason I didn’t buy the game is because I like the Campaign n wasn’t included
COD has been dying for years and a 604 game with no solo campaign and literally the same wall jumping sliding multiplayer is not enough to warrant 6- bucks not to mention BR is a complete rip off and the graphics are so shit it it has to look like a ps3 game just to run properly> Activision cares about nothing but money if they wanted their fan base back they would have made a solo campaign and given BR for free to win back fans but that would require them to care about the fan base over making as much money as possible
