In the 2nd installment of Smart or Stupid, DualShockers writer, Kyle Durant, takes on the dilemma of Activision releasing a Call of Duty game every year. Both pros and cons will be listed in the article and is by no means bias in anyway.
A variety of new updates are available this month across the gaming platforms. Coming today, Retro Classics games are available to play for Xbox Game Pass members. Players who stream on the Xbox app on PC now have an additional streaming option with GeForce Now. Game Bar introduces quick settings, visual updates for Widgets in Compact Mode, and coming soon, Microsoft Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser that brings an immersive game-centric experience to Edge. And Xbox gift cards can now be redeemed for any amount via Xbox Rewards.
While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.
Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!
Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o
Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!
We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!
It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!
According to a developer working on the title, Activision is working on a narrative-based open-world game based on a new engine through its new studio.
It was recently revealed in an exclusive episode of the 'Grit' podcast that EA once passed up acquiring Blizzard, Activision, and Call of Duty.
Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.
Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.
If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.
It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.
Its extremely stupid. CoD is the only game Acti has that actually makes money(besides blizzard's games) and their constant milking is killing it.
If they maybe took ~3 years to make each game, it would not only get more hype, but it would also improve the quality and give a better image to the dying franchise.
Completely stupid. I see the money making opportunities, but pumping out games just to pump out games is retarded. Fix the MANY things that are wrong with the series. I spend more time in the lobby than I do playing ANY Call of Duty game. It's annoying. I want my money back...
Well, they make ridiculous amounts of money, so it'd be stupid of Activision to not release one every year.
Stupid. Why would I buy a multiplayer game or the DLC if I knew that there would be another one only months after I finish all the achievements. FPS multiplayers are better with constant changes and DLC at decent prices...like Halo. Activision is going to over produce this game and ruin it just like Guitar Hero.
Smart for awhile they got uber rich of of idiot gamers & maybe again this year!
If you own the company & milk it to make a billion dollars how can you be mad..
gamers were the stupid ones for buy there crap we are to blame not them!!
