And also infested with annoying children.

Smitty20202165d ago (Edited 2165d ago )

Simple don’t talk too them 😂😂 but doesn’t cod

Sayai jin2165d ago

I'm 43, but realize those kids are gamers too. I was a young gamer back in the days...most of us were. Cod is fukl of those children too.

Prince-Ali2165d ago

and CoD is filled with level headed adults!? looooooooooooool

The7Reaper2165d ago

All I'm saying is both games are filled with the same annoying trash talking children whose only words are swear words and racial slurs and all the disagrees in the world won't make me wrong.

Chris_GTR12165d ago

ehh... to be fair ,he is right. i pretty much have to mute all my teammates when i join a random squad cause its all children that havent even hit puberty yet. COD is full of annoying teenagers but they are for the most part older than fortnite players.

Of course it will it has 100x the budget. Looking forward to it!
Fortnite ripped off pubg and no one cares, this is just 1 of 100s of BR games heading our way. The indie/budget teams laid the groundwork, now it's time for the big boys to step in.

Gaming_1st2165d ago

Lol, Fortnite didn't rip off pubg. First off PubG didn't start the battle royal. Secondly, Fortnite took what was good of royal and made it their own from it's own gameplay stand point. Such as building, gliding, soon to be jetpacks etc.

nowitzki20042165d ago

PUBG didnt start it, but PlayerUnknown did.

jmc88882165d ago

Fortnite didn't start out as a Battle Royale.

Ever heard of the Save the World mode? That was the game when it launched. They tacked on Battle Royale later.

Quetzll2164d ago

@jmc

You call fortnite's battle royale mode "tacked on"? It's a huge focus for the devs and is obviously one of the most popular games right now.

Progress is made by people taking existing ideas and making them better. These devs are literally in a battle royale to keep making their version more appealing than the competition.

Goldby2165d ago

Which indie/budget game laid the found work? Cuz both pubg and fortnite are neither of those

knickstr2165d ago

And pubg ripped off h1z1 and h1z1 ripped off dayz, etc, etc.

Teflon022165d ago

When did dayz come out? Because the first time I saw this game mode was YouTube videos of Minecraft where they called the mode Hunger games. Have like 32 people start the round. They put a bunch of loot chests in the middle and scattered round the world and you have to find them and then be last man standing. Players made up the mode so it wasn't perfect but it worked exactly the same

knickstr2165d ago

@Teflon02, that's why I included the etc. My point Is that this isn't an original idea. Minecraft users ripped off the hunger games and I'm sure the hunger games ripped off something else.

SirBradders2165d ago

@knickstr it's ironic really because hunger games ripped of a Japanese film called battle royale PML.

IamTylerDurden12164d ago (Edited 2164d ago )

Technically Minecraft had a Hunger Games mod that was arguably the first BR. Then games like ARK and DayZ had BR modes, but it wasn't until H1Z1 introduced King of the Kill that the genre really got popular. H1Z1 was very popular among streamers and it absolutely set the groundwork for Pugb. Then, Fortnite added a BR mode that was free to play and blew to doors off.

TheSaint2164d ago

I remember reading a story in 2000AD when Strontium Dog entered a Battle Royale contest, this was probably in the 1980's.

We shall c what the big boys do, am salty as for them not having a sp mode. Like iv said before fortnite is free so ppl can really complain about loot boxes but with cod you will b paying 60 pound,dlcs and loot boxes if people think this is a good idea please give your head a shake

Great Activision, your game could do it better 1000 percent over everyone else. I will not buy your game.

Veneno2165d ago

How can I be as cool as you?!

IamTylerDurden12164d ago

So you won't buy their game even if it's great? Just on principle? A bit silly.

XxExacutionerxX2163d ago

No, I won’t buy a game that removes single player in favor for a half-*** mode of battle royal. True fans of Call of Duty knows this series is completely gone, Activision has no idea where to go with it. WW2, Future, Past, present, or in space. They just want to charge 60 dollars and then keep charging you money for skins and stupid stuff or for a gambling box for random stuff. If you want to pay for that crap, heck people waste money everyday on nothing. More power to you, just not me. This game series is the reason your 60 dollars will never be good enough for the game industry.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

PassNextquestion14m ago(Edited 12m ago)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

Profchaos13m ago(Edited 13m ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

H918h ago

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog43m ago(Edited 40m ago)

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg1h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos1h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion8m ago(Edited 6m ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well
