That would mean new engine which means spending money activition is just too cheap.

Because they run at 60 FPS, no tearing, but with albeit poor graphics.

RFG ran with tons of screen tearing and variable FPS, and had average graphics.

Who is talking trash here? (Neither developer should be)

plb5236d ago

No screen tearing? Play on ps3 sometime.

ambientFLIER5236d ago

Give me a break. None of the COD games past 3 have poor graphics. Even black ops, while looking worse than the rest, doesn't look bad.

kancerkid5236d ago

@ambient

Uh, if you don't think COD looks like crap, you must only play COD.

mikeslemonade5236d ago

They have to work with the lowest common denominator which is the 360. You can't have damage and the game look/run like that on the 360. Cod does look good. It's one of the best looking multiplatform fps games out there. And yes it does look better than battlefield bad company 2.

Sarcasm5236d ago

PLB, there's no screen tearing on any of the PS3 versions as they all have V-Synced enabled, stop BS'ing.

COD doesn't look like crap, there's other games with far worse graphics than COD.

COD Black Ops on the PC actually looks terrific.

And honestly, destruction in COD wouldn't make it COD anymore. Then again, maybe that's a good thing.

RedDead5236d ago

Come on, what are yo comparing Cod to? Killzone? Crysis? Reach? They're all in the 'great graphic' Catagory. Cod is about average not terrible.

Treyarch pretty much made a whole new engine for black ops...which sucks BTW.

femshep5236d ago

a new engine which still looks and plays and bugs up like the one they used since cod4?

Baka-akaB5236d ago

new engine ? Only in their words .. it's more tweaking of good ol' q3 engine ... circa COD 2/3

AwakenTheTaco5236d ago

its still infinity wards modded engine of quake 3...nothing really changed...

pain777pas5236d ago

Game rules. When you have distruction it adds a whole new layer of strategy into the mix. Many want to have clear rules like bullets cannot go through any wall only glass. It is a design choice for better or worse.

Bonerboy5236d ago

Why make more work and spend more money when all the sheep like schlubs are going to run out and shell out for it anyways?

Biggunz5236d ago

uhh, cause the mouth dribblers will buy it anyway?..stupid article.

bagle995236d ago

I know destruction is pretty cool. Im not disagreeing with your article. But i think that when you have destruction like Bad company 2 the levels feel so empty like inside the houses and buildings. and the same level of detail down to the little props just isnt there as it is in the likes of cod4. The buildings seem kinda generic and similar.

Has anyone noticed this?

ultimate-remag5236d ago

generic??? cod is the GOD FATHER GENERIC STUFF LOL!!!!

kancerkid5236d ago

Cod does not have destructible environments, nor does it have fleshed out interiors to buildings (in MP) so what are you talking about.

Baka-akaB5236d ago

seriously , you remember details of cod maps ?

Megaton5236d ago

Been wanting more games with destruction since... forever. It's one of the reasons I love Frostbite so much. I'm content to stand around and blow up walls the whole match.

theonlylolking5236d ago

I get so annoyed when people do that. They just get a explosive and go around blowing up buildings. =\

Hellsvacancy5236d ago (Edited 5236d ago )

Well maybe those mofos were tryin to get the demolition trophy/achivement, i remember havin to do it (and had alot of fun doin it)

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

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

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.

Abear21127d ago

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

M_Prime126d ago

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

YourMommySpoils126d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg127d ago (Edited 127d 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

jznrpg127d ago (Edited 127d 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.
