Holy shit Gary Oldman and Ed Harris are in Black Ops? This shit just got real.

Unbornkirkster195347d ago

haha nice reference to The Rock

bratman5347d ago

this is what your comment reminded me of...

Killjoy30005347d ago

You can even execute people online in Killzone 3. Grow some some balls, Treyarch. Make use of the great tech that sets this installment apart from the others. Because texture wise, I think MW2 looks cleaner so far.

nickjkl5347d ago

get a headshot in killzone 2 and it blows their head right off

BiggCMan5347d ago

yea i love that in killzone 2. remember people, many many kids buy call of duty. i was out today getting my hair cut, and the lady was telling me how she pre ordered this game for her 11 year old kid. wtf?

y0haN5347d ago

Shooting heads off? Wow. What a new feature to gaming!

MEsoJD5347d ago

wrong with these pussy game companies? Mature games = for adults.

santa monica let me rip the head slowly and tortuously off, all while the skin slowly started to tear and u could see muscle tendants and veins stretching, to a Greek god named Helios.

no kahunas

u make a game about the instinctual brutality of man in their most primitive form, set in a theater of war, u should be willing to portray to the T (ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TECH IS THERE) how it would be in real life...if ur not willing to go the full distance in the genre ur trying to create, your making the wrong game! Try a farmville clone. Will this make the game any worse? No, but will it be that much less than it should of been, even if by such a minuscule amount? Absolutely. Its already getting an M rating like GOW did, ESRB isn't going to make it an A rating if GOW wasn't (for those of u who haven't played GOW3, take my word for it). This decision was made not for the target audience that will make them millions, but for the Fox news' of the world, which in the end would bring controversy ie attention to an already incredibly well established franchise boosting sales even more, like we've seen with the previous installment and current games hosting the taliban... just to name a few

I soon as I read the title
I thought....

"How can WAR be too violent?"

ITS WAR !!!
What are the soldiers supposed to do? Play patty cake with the enemy?

HAHAHAHAHA call of duty looking to real? Its only to real if it looks 2x better than killzone 3 and crysis. The animation probably did not look that great because past COD's did not have great animation. Although now they are using full body motion capture but will they use it for all animations?

dragonelite5347d ago

What cod animation looks gold because they can use more frames to animate a 1 sec movement.

Baka-akaB5347d ago

uh ? with that kind of logic Pixar animation is crap then .. their movies are released in 24 fps , 48 max if going imax HD ...

Dr Face Doctor5347d ago

...but it's mainly due to clever use of shaders and animation. The textures are 'meh' and the model quality is okay, but I find it impressive how well the game is held up by the shaders.

This includes lighting effects, shadows, reflections, etc. I've rarely seen such good looking weapon viewmodels, and that's all due to the shaders baby. :D

tacosRcool5347d ago

I sense this will be an ok game

Unbornkirkster195347d ago

oh kay Sarah from Team America, everyon needs your intellectual input....lol

BYE5347d ago

Wow, Treyarch must be really desperate for hype to make such ridiculous statements.

Baka-akaB5347d ago (Edited 5347d ago )

i can already imagine the great convos between tweens ... "holy crap did you hear that!! Black ops animations were so da bomb and real they had to censor themselves! For real i gotta get that mofo!"

NarooN5347d ago

The only people blowing this out of proportion are the interviewers and all of you for making a big deal out of it. They didn't release a fucking trailer saying "HOLY FUCK THIS IS WHAT IT WAS GONNA BE LIKE BEFORE BUT IT WAS TOO HARDCORE SO WE TOOK IT OUT"

AwesomeJizz5347d ago

They will probably remove the gore and put some nice poo poo instead

chazjamie5347d ago

i would buy the game if they did that.

bigboss9115347d ago

well in one vid that they showed on gametrailers, they were using the same mo-cap that was used in Avatar. Which is pretty impressive.

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

FPS_D3TH121d ago

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

Knushwood Butt122d 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.

Abear21122d ago

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

M_Prime121d ago

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

YourMommySpoils121d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg122d ago (Edited 122d 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

jznrpg122d ago (Edited 122d 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.
