Cinematic shooter Call of Duty 4 stole the show at this week's annual Activate Asia conference.
Grant Collier, President of Call of Duty creators Infinity Ward, opened Activate by reiterating his lofty goal of creating the best first person shooter available on each of the game's three platforms - PS3, 360 and PC.
Everything you need to know about Modern Warfare III coming to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
Will be interesting to see what sort of numbers GP users draw in come tomorrow. It is believed that this is one many have been waiting for.
Darth,
That is not accurate; this game is old, and most people who want it have already bought it. You might get a small number of subs, but we will mostly see a good influx of players(not new subs) from people with Game Pass who will try it, which is what happened with D4.
CoD: BO 6 will be the test for actual sub numbers.
That's fair... seeing as many have been saying they want CoD in GP. My comment was more of , now that its here... what can it do. Im sure there will be other titles in the franchise that will either entice or turn off different users.
No one's buying a console and signing up for a monthly bill just to get this game to avoid buying it. That's ridiculous. Besides everyone bagged the crap out of this on release for the 4 hour campaign.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
Interesting. However HAZE and UT3 are higher up on my list than this and don't think i will bother with it as im not a huge COD fan
After getting in the beta and playing it last night, i was a little surprised after seeing the trailers and the gameplay footage which looked sooo good.
When i was playing it, just didnt seem as great as it had been shown to be dont get me wrong its a great game, but graphically its not as impressive as i imagined.
I know its only a beta, but i dont see it improving that drastically it is a very nice looking game though
COD4 does look interesting both graphically and game play wise so am not really surprised about the title. However, Haze and UT3 should do very well. UT3 is a guaranteed hit.
Graphically mediocre WW2 game.
Yawn...
Please, COD 4 looks LEAGUES above Haze. All Sony fanboys are only hyping Haze because it is exclusive to the PS3. I have both a PS3 and a 360, and I would never choose Haze over the great game that COD 4 will be (those that have gotten in the beta can testify on this).
If you, Sony fanboys, choose Haze over COD 4, and COD 4 experiences bad sales on the PS3 then that would only send the wrong signals to multi-plat developers, who might start prioritizing the 360 more or drop support for the PS3 after all.
