Sledgehammer Games boss Glen Schofield has been talking about the upcoming Call of Duty instalment for this year, and he sounds excited, to say the least.
It's that time of the year again where rumours swirl about when the next Call of Duty will be revealed. After artwork and other material leaked for Call of Duty: WWII, it seems that Activision could be officially announcing it this weekend.
Its not like Sledgehammer is barred form working on WW2. IW and Treyarch both worked on the earlier games.
Yes I'm a bit weary about WW2 COD game by SLEDGHAMMER games as their last game is in my view worst COD in History. Never less, WW2 setting should be a good change from all the bunny jumping bull we saw in the last 3 bloody years even if BO3 was a good COD.
I feel as if Sledgehammer usually keeps their ears open when it comes to consumer feedback. After "Infinity Ward" made Ghosts, I think people were sick of the whole "Modern Warfare" style gameplay that every FPS was trying to do at the time. So they brought a change to the CoD franchise with CoD:AW. That drastic change happened because of the fact that they listened to what the consumers wanted at the time. I think they'll listen to the feedback again and bring the series back to the ground.
Plus, I don't think any other CoD developer want to risk another CoD:IW disaster.
It takes longer than a year to make these games. 2 years last gen. 3 years now with the 3 studios rotating. So them reacting to Infinity Ward making Ghosts is not what happened. It was planned before that.
I don't know if it's just me who feels this way, but the new generation of cod players like to camp more so than back in 07-09. I just can't enjoy it anymore, I tried the remastered and i was surprised from all the campers hiding ... it would be awesome if they would just remove kd from this game
Camping is a strategy. Running and gunning is a recipe for death. Sounds like you arent good, and its everyone elses fault.
I don't have this issue with halo 5 , or battle field games. Cod gamers literally hide , and don't try to celebrate camping , I know it's the only way you can get kills.
I wouldn't call it casual; it's actually too convoluted to be fun anymore. Simple was better.
I loved it back in the WaW and BO 1 days where you didn't need to do a ballerina twirl and shoot your gun in the Fibonacci sequence to open up the door to another room.
i hope this is being done o a brand new game engine to kind of give this series a mini reboot of sort
activision really needs to go all out
if people could actually give IW a chance it had a awesome single player story and good MP but because BF1 was set in WW1 it was just natural and cool thing to hate on IW
The_Infected
not really most reviewers even said the single player story was very good and MP had it's moments. I think those who played it knew it was a very good(not great) game but those who only saw the trailer and never played have this mindset that it';s below average and worst FPS of last year
here is something to think about COD-IW was the best selling game of 2016 and it came out after BF1 and TF2
\
so even in a down year it was the best selling game
The single player was amazing. I went for completionist on it. The multiplayer was aight.
Not sarcasm, and I'm sure I'm not the only one given it kicked everybody else's ass in sales last year.
I honestly doubt it'll be a new engine. If anything, the engine will be upgraded just by a little.
It'll most likely look the same as Advanced Warfare in terms of graphical quality
Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "The recent DICE games of Battlefield and Battlefront have both continued to see growth in their sales whereas the Call of Duty franchise has seen a steady decline in recent years, this could very well be a point of which the former beats the latter."
Sales wise, doubt it. Quality rise...well it doesn't make much to beat Call of Duty in quality so yes. The first one beat that year's Call of Duty, way better shooter than COD could ever dream to be...and that was before all the additional content. This year's COD will be interesting since they are going back to WW2 but unless they do something new it will still be the bland reskinned MW4 game than all COD games have been every year.
Completely agree. Going back to WW2 presents a lot of opportunities. I would like to see a few missions where you can't fight back and have to hide like in Outlast. Maybe a story line about being behind enemy lines and having to hide from patrols looking for you. COD just needs a new perspective to make it fresh again.
People going nuts over SWBF 2's new story and yet sadly the new COD's single player campaign will probably still be over double the length of it.
After a lot of rumors and speculation Call Of Duty 2017 seems to be all but a certainty.Dev's say the game's development is going smooth
Man a lot of console gamers just eat this crappy game series up. Don't see why its a let see, its obvious who their target market is at this point for the past 5+ years.
Haven't they done only two anyway? And I think the last one they did was garbage just like all of them have been for the past 5 years now?
Soo does biggest project to date actually even carry any real value here? LMAO
Thinking the same... isn't everyone new one the "biggest" I'm a console gamer. And I'm puzzled as to how this franchise is still relevant.
they say this every year.. i think advanced warfare would had been really good if it was just boots on the ground.
New year, same old description. At least if you are not creative with games, get creative with taglines.
They say the same shit every year. We always end up with the bare minimum of effort, pay to win microtransactions, decades old engine, no servers, and overpriced DLC. Last year they reached a new low by not only locking MWR behind IW but also charging $15 for a map pack that was originally $10. This franchise is every wrong with the gaming industry.
Battlefield 1 has forced their hand. I know so many casuals who now prefer BF1 over COD
Battlefield was always a better game. It started with bad company 2 having a more realistic and better campaign, then cod got trampled with bf 3 it was only a matter of time before cod got penetration they kept on making tne same game instead of being innovative,all on all its still a great franchise
This is the first on 5 years I've gone to BF over COD. Steep learning curve but worth it if you can get it down!
So we are starting the 'this Cod will be the best Cod yet' talk early huh?
You're going to "implode" huh? That must make sense in some alternate reality I suppose.
Also, this song and dance lost its effect after about.... oh..... the 3rd or 4th time you spew this marketing bulls**t. All it tells me, is to prepare for another year of COD schlock.
Explosions in his insides, why am i not surpised
Hmmm they seem confident which hoepfully means the next cod is something we actually want...boots on the ground and back in the past. Game should be revealed this spring, will wait and see til I judge.
I've heard this next CoD will take things back to the series roots--meaning, a reboo-quel of sorts (real WWII war setting to be quite frank). So from the time Advanced Warfare came out up to the last CoD, how many CoDs did they release ignoring the outcry of many gamers concerning series fatigue? I'm asking because I want to know how many times a dev needs to hear from fans in order to learn they need to listen.
