Why Treyarch adding predictive recoil to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is a big deal

Could Treyarch's biggest Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 announcement actually be that the game will be getting a predictive recoil system?

senorfartcushion2224d ago

It's not a big deal.

Only freaks would be turned on by the idea and it's certainly not enough to have every freak salivating over a Black Ops 3 multiplayer port.

Darknova20772224d ago

It's not a big deal. What's a big deal is they are to lazy and greedy to put a single player campaign in.

81BX2224d ago

Blame gamers. Ball don't lie! The data shows less and less people are playing COD campaign. Why should the devs focus resources into that when the gamers focus on MP and zombies? They have woven single player missions into the MP portion. If you ask me that's better than dropping it completely.

Gaming_1st2224d ago (Edited 2224d ago )

@81BX

And the data don't lie either about the campaign getting worse and worse. Hence the lack of people playing the campaign. After World at War it just seems they quit focusing on the Single player portion. Which was very popular before that. And single player has made COD what it is today. The first 3 games was single player only and was pretty popular. Cod 3 sold about 6.5 mill in 2006, which was extremely good back then for a single player only game.

jc122224d ago

Agree 81BX. I dont buy COD for the measly 6 hour campaign. I buy COD to slaughter people online for weeks upon weeks. Thats where the value is, and thats where the devs are focusing, seems legit to me.

morganfell2224d ago

"The data shows less and less people are playing COD campaign."

I don't do street races but I will not purchase a car that doesn't have serious get up and go.

Razmiran2224d ago (Edited 2224d ago )

What? First 3 games had multiplayer and they were extreamly popular, stop spreading misinformation
Call of duty 2 was even the most popular xbox live game for some time
Even the ps2 versions of call of duty 1 to 3 had online.

Profchaos2224d ago

The data actually shows 60%on average finish it that's still over half the players

Mroc132224d ago

I've no problem with the lack of single player if the devs either sell it at a reduced price or give us a lot more content to start with than past games. That will be fair

It isn't lazy. They added a friggin' Battle Royale mode. Because apparently that is the new craze, so now other multiplayer games need to shovel a BR mode into their games as well.

Point being is that if they were being lazy, they wouldn't have created an entirely new game mode from scratch.

Poor decision making? Probably.

bolimekurac2224d ago

but people still expect a sp campaign, the reason people wouldnt play it is becuase they turned them all into games on rails in one way or another, more like playing a story then playing a game but in a bad way

generic-user-name2224d ago

The same people whining about no sp campaign are the ones who complain about cod every year regardless.

Ditching sp and adding their own br mode will probably end up being the best thing they could have done.

1nsomniac2224d ago (Edited 2224d ago )

I’m sure it’ll turn out just like their groundbreaking fish A.I.

Kabaneri2224d ago

"It doesnt have a campaign so no buy from me"
-trolls who dont even play COD

morganfell2224d ago (Edited 2224d ago )

Not true. I have supported and purchased every COD title...ever and since MW3 I only get them for the campaign. In fact I think Infinite Warfare had a remarkable campaign. A great BSG vibe. But I will not be purchasing this. Fairly bad when one person takes down your theory with fact.

Razmiran2224d ago

I bet your 60 dollars will hurt activision big time

morganfell2224d ago

It isn't about what Activision thinks. Its what I think. It may appear I blow money on games like they were bubblegum. But I do not do so recklessly.

FinalFantasyFanatic2224d ago

I rarely play the multi-player unless friends come around and I can do split screen, if they're focusing on multi-player I hope they do couch multi-player for 4 people, it's awkward you can only do 2 people. Other than that, I play the campaign and then I'm done with the game. I'd rather Titanfall 2's multi-player myself.

TheEnigma3132224d ago

Yup trolls who want their monies worth. Keep supporting nonsense.

Profchaos2224d ago

Pretty much purely your opinion when trophy data suggests otherwise

Cancelled Call of Duty Game "NX1" Gameplay Footage, Black Ops 4 "War" Mode" Surface

A cancelled Call of Duty game titled "NX1" had footage surface online, along with a Black Ops 4 unreleased mode called "War."

RaidenBlack145d ago

looks like the OG Infinite Warfare

Profchaos144d ago

Yeah it does look good wonder why it was canned

EvertonFC144d ago

Probably a proper game with no MT and they didn't see any profits 😂🤣

Name Last Name144d ago

That Neversoft logo took me back to Tony Hawk days. Sad to see this cancellation led to the studio closure.

Juancho51144d ago

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.

Xbox Fans Call Out 'Activision's Greed' Over Call Of Duty Digital Prices

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.

VersusDMC1021d ago

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.

Chevalier1021d ago

Pretty sure that's the sale off that's 60% off. After the sale ends that 360 game is still listed at $49.99, right not its $19.99 because the 60% off.

VersusDMC1021d ago

I guess they can wait for the next sale then.

SullysCigar1021d ago

It's nice to see the Xbox community stand up for themselves though. That's been needed for a long time.

InUrFoxHole1021d ago

For a long time? Its the reason xbox is killing it this gen.

senorfartcushion1021d ago

Lawsuits don’t cost billions, they’re ALWAYS going to be fine for money.

They could stack their bills on the ground and fill half the continent of Africa at this point.

RaiderNation1021d ago

Because Xbox fans are so used to playing games on the Xbox EBT subscription service, the idea of paying anything for a game seems ludicrous to them.

MadLad1021d ago (Edited 1021d ago )

You pay for the service.

Do you have Amazon Video?
Hulu?
Netflix?

It's a subscription service. Not a charity. You're literally going at people over the idea of using a pro consumer service, and that's the real joke here.

thorstein1021d ago

When records were sold, they were eventually replaced by tapes, which cost less to manufacture, but more to buy. Then CDs came along and were cheaper to manufacture, but cost more at retail. Digital, of course, is the cheapest yet, but billion dollar corporations want to charge the same.

And no, that money is not going to the person sitting in the chair actually making the game.

It is pure and utter greed from people who don't need any more money.

InUrFoxHole1021d ago

Lol calm down Bobby. You crapped on thus franchise.

"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

autobotdan1021d ago

Typo sale prices 2.99 minimum and 9.99 maximum. Older COD tiles seven years old or older should never be over 20 dollars regular price

senorfartcushion1021d ago

I have paid less than 3 dollars for some AAA PS4 games, old 360 CoD games should not be $20

FanboysKiller1021d ago

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 #.

EvertonFC1021d ago

It's why I don't play cod anymore, my 45yr old hands can't compete with these kids 😂 🤣
1 kill to every 10 deaths is not fun

John_McClane1021d ago

Don't let that stop you if you enjoy the game, it's actually pretty good for hand/eye coordination.

lipton1011021d ago

Try Escape from Tarkov. It forces you to slow down and think. I’m not a fan of the ADD speed of CoD

Father__Merrin1021d ago

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

Rhythmattic1021d ago (Edited 1021d ago )

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...

GhostofHorizon1021d ago

It's hilarious that some people don't see this as an option.

MadLad1021d ago

Bananas now cost $30 a pound. There's no good reason for it, but if you want bananas, there you go.

You don't have to buy them.

It's about their constant greed when handling the franchise. Nobody has to buy anything, but when a company doesn't follow corporate norms when selling their product; overpricing their old wares just because they can, the consumer is allowed to call that out.

GhostofHorizon1021d ago

Consumer can call them out, but I think they are going about it the wrong way.

The reason they get away with everything they do is simply because they can. They can charge $20 for a skin pack because people will gladly buy it. There is plenty of competition for FPS games, it's not like it's a niche market.

I know it's easier to blame and demand better from Activision than people that keep buying these overpriced items. If they weren't being bought, Activision would lower the price though. People like to pretend to take the high road but wouldn't you rather sell the banana for $30 than $3 if people are willing to buy it?

franwex1021d ago

@therealtedcruz

I think there’s a virus destroying the banana and may even go extinct. So maybe that’s why.

I think it’s happen before too.

MadLad1020d ago

A small subset buys those skins and whatnot. Most players don't. The "whale" mindset is pretty accurate across the board, where there's a small handful who buy a lot, and most who don't buy any. Either way, that means they're imposed on the majority either way.

That's different from overpricing your game though. Activision easily makes their money off every release, then milks it until the next release, then throws it away. They never put significant sales on even a release from several cycles ago. Whether it sells or not.

And I mean, yeah; if I were a business, I'd probably want to make as much money as possible.
But I'm not a business; I'm a consumer, thus I find many businesses to be complete assholes.

Rhythmattic1015d ago

And people are still blaming the high prices but suggest they're still wiling to buy it... Not too smart are you peoples....

Its a non regulated pricing structure, sure , many play by the status-quo , but to actually complain by complaining, instead of standing your ground and not buying it, by buying it , you are the reason its happening....

Idiots, Idiots everywhere.... What? So those that are complaining don't want to pay the money, but cant do without it?

FFS. Entitlement level 5000...
Drink some cement and harden the Fk up!

Sitdown1021d ago

The article and title isn't saying that people are buying it, its simply saying that they are calling them out for greed. I guess you had a problem with people calling out Microsoft for trying to increase the price of Live, and don't understand how voicing concern led to them backing away from the decision.

Teflon021021d ago

People need to put that energy into Nintendo's Pricing over Activisions tbh. They're focused on the wrong things

Rhythmattic1015d ago (Edited 1015d ago )

Greed? Ok... Dont buy it and prove that by being greedy , they got it wrong... Not that hard to understand is it?
To Add... I haven't bought Cod since MW2.... Because of these exact practices.... Fact.
