Wow Activision...just wow!

LOL!

Blacktric5314d ago (Edited 5314d ago )

I LOL'd when I read the title. 12 batteries? I'm pretty sure they won't be included in the package since Activision is trying to get as much money as possible.

aviator1895314d ago

Nope, no batteries are included.

Bobbykotickrulesz5314d ago

Activision is gunna introduce their own brand of batteries so they can gouge the shit out of people buying this retarded RC car.

Syronicus5314d ago

RC cars like this have always required nearly a dozen batteries. Typically six for the car and six for the controller. Nothing new and to report on it is just plain stupid. I hate Activision as much as the next guy but this is like piking on Bobby Kotick for his hair and forgetting to mention is a-hole attitude about gaming.

mikepmcc5314d ago

Actually, that's not true, almost ALL remote control vehicles have rechargeable batteries.

Hideo_Kojima5314d ago

I bet we will see videos of people sticking fireworks and other explosives on them and blowing them up like in the game.

DarkTower8055314d ago

First of all, 12 batteries isn't that much considering there is a camera on the vehicle. Secondly, 12 batteries will only cost you $3 at the dollar store.

Last of all, @ Blacktric, how the hell does Acti make off battery sales? Grow up.

Rush5314d ago

Don't defend activision that's not cool xD

Theonik5314d ago (Edited 5314d ago )

I have a RC tank with an Airsoft cannon than takes 10 batteries. (8AA for the tank and 1 9V for the remote) Not at all that surprised but seriously i fail to see why someone would want this, from my experience it should chew through these quite fast. They should have gone with a rechargeable battery really. :S

SnakeShady5314d ago

if they give you 12 batteries their profit will reduce. that's why.
Grow up.

Cheap tat. A quality product would have a nice rechargeable pack, lithium polymer. Nickel metal hydride, at least.

Hideo_Kojima5314d ago (Edited 5314d ago )

My RC car has rechargeable batteries and it can do 35mph...
With just 6volts.

This thing takes 6 batteries so it will have 9 volts whether they are AA or AAA.

What doesn't make sense is why does the remote control need another6 batteries? Does it have a 3 kilometer range or something?

This is a fucking weird design decision.

Soldierone5314d ago

Its a cheap RC Car, which cheap ones always have a crap ton of batteries. It would require Activision to spend a little money on a quality product for you to get a quality RC Car with rechargable batteries. I think I'll stick with my gas powered RC Car, yeah the gas is expensive but burning out tires doing at least 40 is always fun as heck.

TBH I won't be suprised if this car can only go forwards and backwards lol....

Rush5314d ago

Your out of the loop my friend cheap RC cars only go forwards and turn left xD

4pocalyps35313d ago

Make it so that the controller reaches into your pocket and steals your wallet....

It's confirmed. Activision must own a battery company.

Snakefist305314d ago (Edited 5314d ago )

You gotta be kidding 12 fucking Batteries.This is INSANE!!

Theonik5314d ago

Not insane. I've seen many kits that need as much. Just stupid they didn't follow the recharge route.

Domer255314d ago

LOL, did Duracell design this? F@cking outrageous.

princejb1345314d ago

if anyone buys this______________

Jaces5314d ago

What a waste of money, seriously. Whoever buys this....jeeze..

visualb5313d ago

sold exclusively by Activision each at the price of $30 no refunds

ambientFLIER5314d ago

12. It says it in the title and the article.

aviator1895314d ago (Edited 5314d ago )

And the next thing you know there's going to be Activision brand batteries, lol.

Blacktric5314d ago

With Kotick's smiley face printed on them.

Killa Aaron5314d ago

it's better than paying them for the replacement battery pack when it stops holding a charge (if they chose the rechargeable route), but i agree 12 is alot when it could have been 2 C batteries or D batteries.

Hellsvacancy5314d ago (Edited 5314d ago )

I dont think i can even count to 12, what a big number for such a small thing

"Cheaply" made in other words

Eiffel5314d ago

I bet this little thing can suck them flat around an hour of use.

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH75d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt76d ago

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear2176d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime75d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils75d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
