"A year after its launch, the PS3 is in a curious position. Note that I didn't say "bad" or "good." Sony has addressed complaints that the system is too expensive by releasing two more SKUs and eliminating features. The cheapest PS3 is now the same price as a launch-era 360 Premium. After six major updates with sprinklings of patches, the PS3 is a significantly better console now than it was a year ago. People can say a lot of things about Sony, but the company seems to be listening to its customers and the market a lot more than it did coming into launch."
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.
Wow, GSpy really loves COD4. They have chosen it GOTY for PS3, 360 and PC.
Personally, I'd choose either R&C or Uncharted for PS3 GOTY.
UT3 should be in that list.
I love how Ps3 is on trac to selling more than 8.5 to maybe even 9 million units by years end and people are still saying it's a failure. haahhaahah... What a piece a joke! Ps3 easily out preforming the xbox 360's 1st year... More so with heavy competition from both of them too.
R&CFTOd is the best game out on ps3 by the way. I love Uncharted, but R&CFTOD beats it out in the end. It's the more quality product.
ok...why the hell is FIFA on the list?
wow man very nice of gamespy of doing this, after all the bashing it's recieved from 1up, gamespot, ign, and stuff.
