[QUOTE=ashxu;44701922]Guess they had to force their hand due to the leak eh? Also as I said in the other thread, Crysis 2 already has the "arcade shooter with power suits" gimmick done.[/QUOTE] honestly crysis 2 felt just like halo to me
Suits remind me of the exo-suit from Elysium. But really in my opinion, the only FPS currently that has to be topped is Titanfall, which is going to be very fucking hard. But like everyone said, gotta wait for a gameplay trailer or something.
Yeah, I already bought CoD:Ghosts because it looked nicer and I hoped it would borrow some stuff from last BlOps. Not going to happen again. And what gameplay trailer are you waiting for, guys? This [b]is[/b] the very gameplay of CoD games. You watch stuff happen, they just left out all the shooty parts where you shoot mobs until something happens, and that's hardly going to be any different than before. All those exoskeleton features are [b]most definitely[/b] going to be "press "A"/"E" to climb a wall", three minutes later "press "A"/"E" to detach from the wall" once or twice as a plot device and then never again.
[QUOTE=gudman;44702007]Yeah, I already bought CoD:Ghosts because it looked nicer and[B] I hoped it would borrow some stuff[/B] from last BlOps. Not going to happen again.[/QUOTE] ironically ghosts certainly did borrow some stuff from older games AKA assets
[QUOTE=J!NX;44702011]ironically ghosts certainly did borrow some stuff from older games AKA assets[/QUOTE] AKA full on animations and cutscenes: [video=youtube;5E82ZkHTiVU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E82ZkHTiVU[/video] You could interpret as an homage to the old game, but considering the other assets blatantly reused I'd have to disagree.
It looks pretty, as do all games now But that's never been my problem with call of duty games The worst thing has always been the community second worst is the writing can often come across as very bland and all "muh freedoms..."
COMING SOON IN 2016 CALL OF DUTY: OUTDATED WARFARE
[QUOTE=J!NX;44702011]ironically ghosts certainly did borrow some stuff from older games AKA assets[/QUOTE] Right, but that hardly was surprising for a series that reuses the same models for NPCs on a span of three games.
The exoskeletons and CEO guy talking to a bunch of guys kind of reminds me of the new Robocop
I'm only going to play this to listen to Kevin Spacey's awesome voice. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img]
It has potential. Although Sledgehammer worked on MW3, they handled the multiplayer I think (which, admittedly was basically MW2 with some tweaks and rebalancing anyway), so this will be their first primary product. It reminds me more of Crysis than Call of Duty, but either way, this certainly looks more next-gen and like it has more effort than Ghosts did. Bullshot all over or not.
What I would really want Call of Duty to do is change how the weapons work to actually serve specific playstyles and get rid of the killstreaks. Killstreaks never made sense to me - why would you give someone who's achieved a ludacrious amount of kills with more kills that get him even closer to his next killstreak which awards him with more kills? I never understood that, and I never understood why snipers are used as shotguns, large machine guns are used as snipers, knives are used rocket-boosted human lawn mowers, and machine guns are used as chainsaws. It would be a lot better if Call of Duty was more team-oriented instead of fast-gratification deathmatch. I've played the objective-based stuff in a lot of the Call of Duty's - it's all about killstreaks and less about the objective, although that might be blamable on the community. Sorry for posting so much - I've pondered far too much about the design of Call of Duty for a long, long while now because I really do have the belief that it could be extremely fun but falls short for bad reasons.

If a Call of Duty game were to break 'traditional' gameplay that the series is well-established into now as anything other than optional/minigame stuff, the same community we all loathe would probably turn on the series.

Not gonna lie, I'm a sucker for Kevin Spacey.
Looks nice but it's still only going to be 5 hours long.
[QUOTE=GamerChick;44701795]Ugh. Can't they just go back to WW2 or something? Those games were much better.[/QUOTE] Fuck no. The benefit of near future is that you can make it unique and different at least in some small parts. Ww2 is a dime a dozen and current warfare tends to be homogenous as well.
It actually looks very decent and like a new way to approach the franchise. Also ... Hail Kevin Spacey. My god, how it suits him to be the antagonist. Whoever hasn't watched House of Cards, do it instantly! ;)
Sounds like Captain America 2 now.
[QUOTE=wraithcat;44702343]Fuck no. The benefit of near future is that you can make it unique and different at least in some small parts. Ww2 is a dime a dozen and current warfare tends to be homogenous as well.[/QUOTE] Unless they go the 'Black Ops' and 'Advanced Warfare' thing and take hypothetical and prototype concepts and mix it in. If they went to less explored areas of WW2 like Africa and the Middle East they could have some interesting plots going on. Retro-sci-fi (i.e. Rocketeer style jet-pack Nazis, Thule society psychological warfare and shit). Honestly, I wish they stuck with the Cold War a bit in after Black Ops. It had potential to go to an interesting time period. It'd been nice to continue Weaver's adventures and possibly Reznov. It just takes a little imagination to make any war a little more interesting (if you don't want to be 100% realism oriented).
This is always fun, First there's "Oh this could actually be good" or "It seems that this one is different because x" Then as more is revealed "Kinda looks like COD 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10" Then there's acceptance "It's the same old shit just with new models and animations"
You know I would've been interested in this if it wasn't Call Of Duty. The Exo-Skeletons and CEO guy are interesting to say the least but knowing it'll just have the usual CoD gameplay is a major turn off.
Call of Duty trailers always get me excited
Come on, we all know that the trailers are always better than reality
It looks very promising although it's the implementation of these new things that'll make or break the game.
COD needs to take a few Notes from Hideo Kojima in terms of writing. Kevin Spacey is Awesome though, you can see him trying.
Honestly besides the graphics this really didn't do anything to me. Just another 'political war story' either in modern times or in the future it always looks like it is trying to hard to make it seem this is a massive blockbuster story made by the worlds best writers while in the end you still go from A to B and kill person X. I will wait for something that is actually new and not set in a modern or future era, do something wild for once.
[QUOTE=KennyAwsum;44702651]COD needs to take a few Notes from Hideo Kojima in terms of writing. Kevin Spacey is Awesome though, you can see him trying.[/QUOTE] That guy's monologue about democracy does seem pretty Kojima-ey
[QUOTE=GamerChick;44701795]Ugh. Can't they just go back to WW2 or something? Those games were much better.[/QUOTE] I see people saying this shit everywhere, I don't get why though, going back to World War II would probably be shit.
C'mon, Sledgehammer, you better deliver because Ghosts promised a good game, too. Please let IW be the only one making the shit Call Of Duty games these days.
