pathetic line up. they have the nerve to use the word "innovation". Activision are a cancer.

And yet people still buy their junk...

Ricegum3618d ago

I don't consider their work junk. Stop being so opinionated and at least show a bit of respect for the work the developers put in for us.

spacedelete3618d ago

i admit i used to buy their junk because i fell for the hype every time but not anymore. whenever i see an Activision logo i instantly think poor quality shovelware i.e. the Prototype ports to Xbox One and PS4.

cd13618d ago

Junk in YOUR opinion pal. I'm certainly no COD-BOT as i play lots of games but still looking forward to the new Zombies, I understand its not for everyone thou.

TLG19913618d ago

Can we have a website with a tally chart that shows how many times non imaginative or innovative companies use generic predictable phrases like "will change the way people play" And "introducing significant innovations" when actually its the same old shit year in, year out

WitWolfy3618d ago

How can you forget phrases like "Fish AI"...?

Luvofdegames3618d ago

A bit like "xbox greatest line up" and then proceed to show milked franchises (forza/halo/gears/fable).

EazyC3618d ago

Ignore this load of arse and look forward to that Mafia 3 trailer in half an hour instead ;D

Just bought call of duty ghosts for $15 on eBay .
I am enjoying the sh#t out of it .

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb40d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville40d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer40d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer40d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

babadivad39d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.

Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.

fsfsxii138d ago

If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.

Gamingsince1981124d ago

It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.

SoloGamer1137d ago

thank goodness we dodged that landmine 😒
